[@sabrinalarson1526]

Your teaching is much better than the live workshop on Alcohol inks I just took last week end. I did not like this medium at all after then workshop, but now you are opening a whole world to me...I will buy alcohol ink at once and try it out. Thank you.

Extraordinaria

[@naheedhameed9546]

Thank you .

[@lindamikowicz2494]

Thank you for such a great video. I just love how you create the wispy effects. Have you ever done your alcohol ink art on a cotton canvas?

[@palavraembrasa3169]

Hi! Lovely work!!! Is this regular watercolor paper?

[@christineperez7626]

Does this same effect happen if my substrate is ceramic tile? Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

[@safi456]

Hello Marissa, yet another excellent tutorial. Bravo! I'm definitely going to give this a go. Please can you explain why a heat gun and not a hair drier? Also, is your heat gun set on low or high? I remember trying the wisp effect a while ago on tiles, and it was always hit n miss. Sometimes I'd end up with something stunning and other times the same technique was a disaster. So now I'm keen to give your technique a try. But scared to use the heat gun as its never been my friend, compared to my drier.

[@MonicaBarnesArt]

Love this video your work is awesome ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@jessH090]

Great video thank you, I learned a lot.

[@madusonkeeper]

You can use cool air also

[@dianacruz6455]

Hi I am new to alcohol inks been doing Tumblers but found you and I would really give it a try We bought a new home and I would love to make my own home decor I’m trying find the Copic various inks but the say they have been discontinued any other sugestión? Thank you!!!! you are an Amazing artist and Teacher ♥️

[@linaferlazzo2052]

[@ekaterinao950]

[@pinkysingh2213]

[@krisprice8477]

Beautiful!!! Can you tell me what the gold was? Thank you.

[@HeathersTreasures]

She uses pinata brass ink.

[@juliebergacker5680]

This was awesome👍. Thank’s

[@craftysandyscards]

Love, love, love these, thanks so much but can you loose the music it’s distracting or have it really low in the distance.

[@juditharowland3461]

Back again Marissa. I've watched some of the new AI artists test new brands of paint and most of them don't seem to know how to use the products at all. Several were only using ink and no alcohol and then criticising the brands. We only had a couple of brands when I first started and now there are more. I was wondering if you had a preference. I'm mostly familiar with Tim Holtz and Copic's Various refills. But now there are the new Marabu, Brea Reese, and the Kielty brand out of Ireland. Each seem to have a different intentional use. Which brands work bes for the techniques you use?
