Heya, welcome to.. whatever this becomes!

So, here I am: unfiltered, dishevelled, and thrown in the deep end!
I'm doing a quick chit-chat intro (about 5-ish minutes, so, not actually quick at all), and then a simple alcohol ink piece tacked onto the end.
It's a nice, easy starting point to show you all that you can make something pretty without over-complicating or overwhelming yourself with any pressure or crazy expectations.
The original art making video is about 20 minutes, so I've sped it up 300% to prevent boredom for you all. Let me know if time lapse is not your thing, though! Part of the reason was simply because this has an intro chat, and I didn't want it to be too long.
There really is something about putting oneself out like this. I feel incredibly exposed 😅 and have a renewed respect for people that do it, and for the people I insisted had to do this (looking at you, Niki 🤭). I'm used to presenting my art in its completed form, with all the frills. But this... this is new.
Anyhow, I hope you stay a while and give me the opportunity to improve 😉
WHAT I LEARNED: KZbin likes landscape filming orientation, not portrait 🤦‍♀️
I used: 100% isopropyl alcohol #copic alcohol inks in burnt umber and agate; #pinatabrass by #jacquard and #yupo paper

Bree, you're going to absolutely kill this youtube thing, i reckon your followers and even other artists will love the channel. I'm struggling to believe you haven't taught before, you talk so well and are a natural in front of the camera. I'm really happy for you.

[@CoolBreezeArtStudio]

Vince! Thank you so much 🥰🥰

[@meganreynolds5755]

Bree you have such an amazing presence when you talk to the camera and voice over. I can't believe you haven't done this before. Can't wait to see your journey here. I've not yet dabble in alcohol ink but it looks so enticing. Thank you!

[@CoolBreezeArtStudio]

Megan, you have made my day! Thank you for your kind words, they are so encouraging ❤❤

[@TreesieParadisArt]

Very grateful to Lisa for pushing you into the KZbin world and can’t wait to meet you in Vegas! Much love!🤗💕

[@CoolBreezeArtStudio]

Ohh yay, another Vegas attendee! I am so excited for this! Looking forward to meeting everyone so very much 😄 Lisa knows what's right for me, as much as I pretend it is not 😉😂

[@natalie-annebrideau339]

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing! Can’t wait to see more of your art in action.

[@CoolBreezeArtStudio]

Thank you!

[@jasminmurphy824]

Well done Bree, that was a great start and I know you'll be a big hit on KZbin..even if you don't want the fandom.. You're a natural and your art is amazing. I'm going to break out my inks again now that you've inspired me. Keep going xx

[@CoolBreezeArtStudio]

Jasmin this makes me so happy! Thank you for being so encouraging, and it is a major bonus and PRIVILEGE to have inspired you! Knowing this feeds my soul 🥰

[@lisamarvinart]

Yayyy!!

[@fionapopovic4523]

Hi Bree, I’ve also headed over from Lisa’s channel. I’m looking forward to watching your videos and learning about creating, with Alcohol Inks. These piece is beautiful and so soft. I could see two Rose 🌹 buds, secured together with ribbon. Love it ♥️💥🙏💐💐

[@CoolBreezeArtStudio]

Aw thanks Fiona! So happy you're here!

[@cherylsanders2753]

Wow, what a great video! And you are a natural teacher. I'm so disappointed I didn't find this video before attending PourCon - I would've registered for your class had I known about your work. I was blown away by your pieces in the PourCon gallery. Your artwork is so calming & ethereal. and I was so hoping I would win yours in the raffle. Thank you for taking Lisa's advice - your YT channel will be a huge success!!! And thanks for sharing your incredible talent!🤩🤩🤩

[@CoolBreezeArtStudio]

Omg Cheryl! This is an incredibly uplifting comment. Thank you so so much. You've totally filled my heart ❤️ 🥰 We're all crossing our fingers for another PourCon, so hopefully, we have a 'next time' 😄

[@cherylsanders2753]

You're so very welcome! I do hope there is a PourCon "part deux" and if so, I'll be registering for your class STAT!!!🤩@@CoolBreezeArtStudio

[@CoolBreezeArtStudio]

@@cherylsanders2753 oooo wouldn't that be awesome!? My fingers are crossed 🥰

[@donnabennett6788]

Hi Bree!! Can’t wait to meet you in Vegas!! I really wanted to take your class but I have invested so much money in paints I can’t justify a new journey in alcohol ink quite yet. I have always been intrigued with alcohol ink and hope to explore it in the future. I’m super excited about PourCon!! Like you said I can’t wait to actually meet the artists that I have corresponded with over the past three years. It’s going to be epic ! See ya there!! Congratulations on your KZbin channel! I will definitely be tuning in.

[@CoolBreezeArtStudio]

Donna, that is so lovely to hear, thank you! I completely understand- there has been so many incredible people to choose from, and i know that i would personally love to sit in on so so many classes myself! Here's hoping I can still show you useful things via this channel instead. Inks will call to you when you're ready 😉

[@KaleidoscopeFA]

I love seeing you create! I’m so happy to see you on the big screen, you’re doing fantastic. I wish I could buy the one in this video. Hugs, Zoë

[@CoolBreezeArtStudio]

Aw Zoë, thank you! 🥰

Thanks Suzanne, i appreciate your encouragement and feedback! 🥰

[@debbikaplan1255]

Welcome to Utube! I signed up for pour con several weeks ago and I’m taking your beginner ink class. I find playing with inks is kinda meditative to me watching the colors moving together but I have zero idea what I’m doing. Looking forward to meeting you at pourcon☮️💙

[@CoolBreezeArtStudio]

Ahhh I'm so pleased to know you are taking my class! Thank you ❤

[@amarshlain9788]

[@jonaeflure]

Congratulations on taking the plunge and diving in. It's so nice to be able to put a face and voice to your name. I look forward to learning more about the techniques you use and your thought processes. Great first video. I really like your color pallet. Beautiful!🥰

[@CoolBreezeArtStudio]

Thank you! The support and encouragement is so appreciated, and I'm grateful you took the time to welcome me kindly! 😄💖

[@SandrasSensations]

Loved watching every second Bree. I can’t wait to watch more👍😁❣️👩‍🎨🇨🇦

[@CoolBreezeArtStudio]

🥰 thanks Sandra!

[@floydfloart1240]

That piece is stunning, of course you made it look simple. I wonder if you could put either a very small piece of double sided tape on each corner, or a dot of glue stick to help hold it. They would probably keep it in place and you could still re position as long as you just use a tiny bit. It’s just a thought, try it first with a piece of regular paper. 😊

[@CoolBreezeArtStudio]

I have used regular tape and it works great, but i like to move the paper around a heap, so i need to remember to tape it to a piece of small cardboard or something

[@lynnminion8324]

So awesome to meet you on youtube. Beautiful 🧡

[@CoolBreezeArtStudio]

Lynn! I'm grateful I was nudged here 😄💖

[@creationswithtonja9912]

Thank you so much for this, I just started using alcohol inks and I can't seem to find anyone that does it! I am so happy you have come on board to KZbin, with a little push from Lisa Marvin

[@CoolBreezeArtStudio]

Thank you! She's such a good cheerleader! Looking so forward to helping you along your way! 💖

[@cherfauvel]

Love it Bree, and love Lisa for her push x

[@CoolBreezeArtStudio]

Isn't she a gem 💖 i probably would have procrastinated forever, otherwise!

[@lorishaw8116]

You are such a great teacher that you will do great on You Tube! I look forward to more of your videos!

[@CoolBreezeArtStudio]

Thank you Lori, i appreciate that! ❤

[@catwilliamstoday]

Hello from OHIO Bree! Really loved the video, so warm & humble. I just really appreciated your approach to this conversation. ♥ BTW, I also loved that little "visit" around 4:25ish. Right on time with your thoughts. That was really beautiful. ♥ Did you (or anyone else) notice it, too? Best wishes & thank you for sharing with us all!!! ~Cat

[@CoolBreezeArtStudio]

Ooo thank you Cat! I missed the visit- what did you see? ☺️

[@pattiporter9728]

Yay, Bree! See you in Vegas. I’m in 2 of your classes and cannot wait!

[@CoolBreezeArtStudio]

YAY PATTI!! 😄

[@amberjohnston7941]

Bravo Bree!! Careful with those dang friends right!!?! LoL!! I'm glad to see you took on the challenge so "gently" ha! pushed upon you by your friend! I've been a fan since I first saw your artwork so I'm super happy to see you share some of your knowledge!!

[@CoolBreezeArtStudio]

Lisa has been telling me to do it for **SOOOO** long 😅 it's pretty cool that she gave me the shove i needed 😎 lucky i love her 🥰

[@amberjohnston7941]

Yeah sometimes friends can give us just the push we need! And isn't it awesome to have friends like that!!?! It certainly helps that she's totally adorable which kinda makes it impossible to be mad at her!! LoL!!

[@CoolBreezeArtStudio]

@Amber Johnston you're right- there's no getting mad at that 😉🤣

[@hanatekaste6449]

Very excited for you! 👋🏻

[@CoolBreezeArtStudio]

Thank you! 💖

[@floydfloart1240]

🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤😂😂. I’m so happy to see you !!! I love this channel, I might actually figure out how to do AI. I Eid love the mixed media things you do also. You just create and we will watch and learn.

[@CoolBreezeArtStudio]

Thank you, my love! 🥰

[@joycedavidson8702]

So happy to finally put a face to the art. Lol. This is amazing Bree. When you use those little bottles, do you add alcohol to the ink or just alcohol to the piece, then ink. I have all the stuff except the paper. I’ve seen it being put on canvas as well. I’m really excited to learn from you. Thanks for your time and knowledge. You rock! ❤

[@CoolBreezeArtStudio]

Hey Joyce! In this particular piece, the tiny dropper bottle i was using had only isopropyl alcohol in it. You can pre-dilute the ink into bottles if you want, but i don't (except for my metallics). I prefer to use disposable shot cups now if I'm pre-diluting. It will all depend on what my intentions are with the piece of art as to how i approach it. Yes, canvas is fine, too! It will move differently because it's not a slick surface, though, and is harder to rework. 💖💖💖

[@mariaz3711]

Just beautiful. I would like to have seen the full 20 mins though. Probably could have sat an hour, its that good❤

[@CoolBreezeArtStudio]

Wow, thank you so much!

[@deeannhansen1469]

First time watching!! Looks beautiful! I got the recommendation from Lisa Marvin to watch you!!

[@CoolBreezeArtStudio]

Thank you! Lisa is the best cheerleader! ❤️ 💙 💜

[@jeanneheos4462]

I just do whatever Lisa tells us to do. Having said that, I’m super excited to start AI. I bought everything I need a year ago, and haven’t started yet. I really look forward to watching you Bree!

[@CoolBreezeArtStudio]

It appears we all do what Lisa tells us! 🤣 I would love to be the catalyst that gets you into your inks! I held onto mine for a while before I invested proper time into them as well. You'll get there, and I'd be honoured to show the way 🥰

[@asiyasaboor4670]

Wow this is beautiful it was a long time I wanted to make something with alcohol ink but didn’t have idea where to start thank you for teaching ❤

Hi Bree, Niki sent me over to your channel. I would like to wish you good luck and I am sure the channel will be a big hit. Annie.

[@deesdavi7592]

Bree just subscribed after seeing Lisa's channel. Question...can these inks work on a canvas with a base of acrylic paint down? If so how would I do it

[@CoolBreezeArtStudio]

Thanks for subscribing! Yes, that will work. You can ink directly onto pre-gessoed canvas, you can seal it with any kind of clear medium if you prefer, too (i used to use diluted gloss medium), USA inkers would often use kilz as an option. The inks will never move the same as they do on yupo or ceramic, but they will still work on canvas. That's a slightly different learning curve, though. It just feels different, and you'll notice it in comparison.

[@mariellehalliday7627]

[@thekaotickiwi7709]

Do you have a link for the paper by chance?

[@CoolBreezeArtStudio]

I don't, sorry! I bought it from the online yupo store (I'm in Australia), but I don't think it's running anymore. If you google yupo paper, it should come up available in art stores etc still, or other brands for synthetic paper will come up 😊
