Beautiful Alcohol Ink and Pencil: Coral Reef doodle

TGIF! What a brutal couple of weeks it's been eh? I had to find something to help get me through it and often just doodling does me a lot of good; not a ton of thinking to do, and I can still come out with something beautiful as I process thoughts about all the violence happening nowadays.

"heartbeat" for a name. The movement, rhythm, flow, openings, just the life you gave to this beautiful creation. Maybe Coral Heartbeat. I see the sea creatures also.

[@kathrynmcgarry309]

Sooo cool. I was gonna say before you said it i see a bunch of beautiful beta fish but glad that was the intention. So so so inspiring!

[@vickicervantes1817]

"DREAMING OF BETAS, ON A CORAL SUNSET" . That's to long of a name. But if you've ever heard any of my 4 daughters , youll think this name is short. You'll really making my brain work hard trying to come up with a name 🤭Giggling 🤭 And I've been thinking a month long on this Breathtakin Beautiful Masterpiece. "GOD'S MAGICAL PAINT BRUSH OF A CORAL AFTERNOON". 🤔💭🤔💭🤔💭 I need to think a little harder. In High School my Art Teacher gave us this same challenge of a painting that we had done. It's funny that you ask us, to come up with a name for it. It brought back good memories of my Mrs. Della Fontana. Now that's one teacher that was a very good teacher. She was from South Africa. You have inspired me to get out my Alcohol Inks & do one for her❤😊❣ Thank You Sandy for sharing. Sending Love, Hugs and tons of Smiles for you and your Fur Babies ❤Xoxo Vicki from the State of Utah 🍯🐝

[@SandyAllnock1]

Cool!!

[@lindafieldsstudio]

This is beautiful, inspiring and a great blend of materials. Thank you so much for sharing. 😃

[@brianacpratt]

Sandy - this is 'jawdroppingly' beautiful. I took before and after screenshots so I can look at them over and over. Thank you for making my day 💛. Briana

[@minniejones641]

this is absolutely stunning... to me it looks like a blown glass masterpiece but yet I see the sea life within. my name suggestion... JEWEL...thanks for sharing, Niagara Falls Canada

[@angelajclarkson]

Totally, jawdroppingly, beautiful. And something I'm excited to try. Thank you Sandy 😍😍❤️❤️

[@vampire4000]

Exploding fantasy, soooo beautiful!

[@lflines]

I saw a lion with flowers, it’s gorgeous. Great tip for using the air brush with alcohol inks,. Blooming Alcohol Lion for a title.

[@angieantczak9305]

Beautiful, Sandy! I'm just starting to play with alcohol inks. They are so interesting.

[@joceleenaert8919]

Magnifique, j'adore!💕💕💕🤩🤩🤩

[@nancymcculley8674]

That is absolutely beautiful

[@deborahreeder2901]

WOW! Extraordinary artwork!

[@fuzzydragons]

ooh very pretty! reminds me of betta fish fins in the water 😀

[@katzarm]

This is beautiful, and really love the colors. As another poster stated, I am surprised that the Copics didn't lift the alcohol ink; so I learned an important tip with this video lesson.

[@kandrews6356]

Very pretty and the technique is very interesting. It's amazing how you made such nice fish and sea life out of areas, and the colored pencil work is really nice. Maybe a name like "Sea Me" or "Artistic Sea", maybe even "The Sea as I See It". You do you. LOL Thank you so much for sharing.

[@catherinevernet5103]

This is absolutely gorgeous Sandy. My title, inspired from Dali, a dance fish around corals

[@deborahbloom4624]

This is an amazing piece, Sandy!

[@karenzemko6518]

This is so amazing! I'm always amazed how you combine different mediums (I guess I shouldn't be by now!). I was surprised that the Copics didn't lift the alcohol ink. As far as a name, all I came up with was Coral Hurricane. TFS

[@lorispitzer8289]

Stunning, Sandy!! I have had to limit my non-work-related emails for about a month since the end of a school year is really challenging - and this year has been a more difficult year than usual. But I will be watching your episodes that I missed and will be watching again with each post. It's great to see beauty like this after a horrific two weeks of shootings around the country. Thanks for the lift. Lori S in PA

[@SandyAllnock1]

Oh no! I'm so sad it's been hard for you - but rest assured YT keeps everything around here so you can visit anytime. Have a wonderful summer....let's hope the shootings dwindle!?

[@lisadelong1455]

This is the most beautiful alcohol ink piece I’ve ever see Sandy. With the addition of colored pencils, they took it to a higher level of beauty.

[@debbiethomas5518]

Wow. Just wow!

[@vangogo6819]

This is so beautiful, I have been drawn back to playing with alcohol inks lately, I love this piece that you have created and it inspires me to get back to creating, oh, I didn't realize we are to suggest a title, my suggestion would be "Iris's " as the finished piece reminds me of a big, happy, loose arrangement of some kind of Iris.

[@ArtesdaTan]

That is amazing! Loved it! Love from Brazil ❤️

[@MariArtJourney]

Wow this is awesome Sandy ❤️🥰❤️🥰❤️🥰❤️

[@bimmermom]

It really is beautiful

[@nancyprobst6311]

Wow! Gorgeous piece!

[@henriette9969]

Stunning art Sandy!

[@clemlank9069]

Love the colors, it reminded me of a nudibranch, they live amongst the coral….

Modern Hollyhock 🤗

[@LauraRumble]

Wow, this is awesome Sandy

[@barbaratibbets8643]

Lovely!

[@ankesart2515]

This piece of art is amazing. I love all the depth that you added with the colored pencils and copics. So gorgeous. I'm unfortunately bad in naming, so sorry that i couldn't help. 🙈😅

So stunning!

[@ZealousZest]

This is beautiful "Ebb and Flow" and YOU are beautiful, Sandy!! And, your Cardinal vid from years back is beautiful (first time I watched and listened)!! I was binge watching (like I do all the time - even if some I watch 2 times or 4? LOL) ... but ... not to dredge up old sharing, but I just had to send you an "air hug"!! You are genuine, and the world would be a better place if there were more people like you!!! Life and the past is in the past - and never forget you are amazing and so generous of your time and your "self"! And, you truly have the personality to be admired by ALL!!! Heartfelt thoughts and appreciation to you ALWAYS!!! Lori

[@cherylweaver5129]

Wonderful!! I love the little fish among the coral!

Coral Anemone

Coral dance

[@deborahscoza1443]

This is so absolutely and beautiful! I have never seen anyone use colored pencils on Yupo with alcohol! You’re an art genius Sandy !

[@SandyAllnock1]

I hadn’t either, so why not try it?🥰

[@craftcreek4624]

Coral Sunrise

[@barcelonachair6487]

I love it, it looks like Beta fishes intertwined with an octopus. I have been on the fence lately about starting with alcohol inks, I think it's because the only type art with this medium that appeals to me requires an airbrush and compressor, which sadly I do not have. This was inspiring!

[@ginamcdonald7854]

My friend and I have used strays to blow the ink around. It’s not perfect, but it worked for us!

[@vickicervantes1817]

Blow dryer on a low cool setting works nicely also! I have one of the blow dryer wand with brush Attachments that I use and it has a cool and low setting Amazon has them sometimes they're on sale and it's a pretty good deal!

[@barcelonachair6487]

@@vickicervantes1817 I have one of those in a drawer somewhere. Thanks!

[@pollywhitney]

Sandy this is great, so beautiful. You are so talented and so willing to share your skills with us to teach us new and exciting things.

[@lisaweiss681]

What a wonderful use of so many mediums. Things seemed to work so well together for you. The colors go so well together and was neat how you found areas that reminded you of fish and tah dah there they were. Thanks for sharing your talent with us.

[@SandyAllnock1]

It’s so much fun looking for them 🥰

[@creatingincolors333]

How beautiful! The alcohol ink by itself is so pretty, but your pencil details really enhance it. 👍

[@masja1790]

Wow! Sunny rief? Love it. 🥰

[@shelleyrubenstein9420]

Absolutely stunningly beautiful!

[@MoTurner96]

This is truly STUNNING!!!

[@francineparrett645]

its like a combination of zentangle with alcohol inks and coloring pencils. looks fun and will definitely try

[@SandyAllnock1]

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@christelkammerzell5506]

Sea Lion for a name

😍 🥰 😘

Absolutely gorgeous!

[@jacquebiester4524]

Absolutely beautiful!!!

[@Juliequeen771]

The title “Lion Fish” popped into my head immediately.

[@samsmith8547]

Wow! I love this!

[@bethjackson8727]

The lion sleeps tonight.

[@ChristinaTodd1970]

💕love💕

[@brianacpratt]

Oh, coral dance for a title?

[@susanwymer6912]

I love this! I have the small air cartridges for Copic. Which compressor at Harbor Freight is equivalent to the Copic compressor? Thank you!

[@SandyAllnock1]

This one or similar, they change brands sometimes: bit.ly/2KDELF8

Cornucopia

[@agggienice]

Hi. I love this piece sooo much! Can I ask if you use any type of sealer for it?

[@SandyAllnock1]

I didn’t but I was too afraid to test any-it would have to work on both alcohol and pencil. So I recommended UV protected glass to the buyer. 🥰

[@agggienice]

@@SandyAllnock1 Thank you.

[@jacquiepeters8583]

Coral flow for a title?

[@jaybee.b.L0VE.rEVOLUTION]

Oh that is such a gr8 idea. 💖 May I ask what sort of paper and alkohol ink you use? I daw flying poppies in there, before you started contouring and enhancing.

[@SandyAllnock1]

The supply list is below the video…Yupo, Ranger❤️

[@joeyhoney1]

Very pretty. Do you have a way of sealing your alcohol ink projects?

[@SandyAllnock1]

No I don’t.

[@bimmermom]

Sandy how did you dry the ink?

[@SandyAllnock1]

With Copic airbrush ❤️

[@debidrybala4102]

Oops

[@debidrybala4102]

Sorry. Learning g how to post. Name we thought of was a Nudibranch. It is a beautiful underwster sea creature.

[@stonecrestquilt]

Can you spray something on it to protect your picture? Varnish or something?

[@SandyAllnock1]

I don’t bother…

[@stonecrestquilt]

@@SandyAllnock1 I know, I was asking if you knew anything that would protect it if it say was hanging in a very moist muggy climate like here. Thank you for your videos.

[@ginamcdonald7854]

This is stunning! I love the beach, it’s my happy place, and this is perfect for me if you want to send it my way 🌴🩴🩴🌴😎
