How to make alcohol ink fades/bubbles [1]

Alcohol ink bubbles- many people have asked me how I make these so here’s a video to show you how.

I’ve uses Copic violet VO9 and Nara paper.

ABSOLUTELY STUNNING! BUT UNFORTUNATELY VERY DIFFICULT TO HEAR YOU. I LOVED THE WORK. KEEP GIVING US MORE. I'M A BEGINNER SO THIS LOOKS GREAT. THANK YOU FOR SHARING.

BY THE WAY, I'M IN SOUTH AFRICA. UNFORTUNATELY CAN ONLY GET YUPO HERE. NO OTHER BRANDS AND FOR THIS TECHNIQUE, UNFORTUNATELY THE INK STAINS.

[@randihart5731]

Bev Yates thank you. I know.... sound was bad... I’ll try and make it better in the next video. Yes the ink always leaves stains on yupo, sadly. Nara paper is becoming more and more “famous”, so hopefully it will be available near you soon. And thanks for watching 😃

Hi , love your bubble work, iv just started with alcohol ink and was wondering what paper you use .? And is there a type of heat gun that’s better to use ? Many thanks , julie

[@randihart5731]

inkyneedkes hi, sorry for the late reply 🙏 I use Nara paper, I think it’s far better than other synthetic papers. With the heat gun I use one that has different levels, and I usually only use the lowest setting.

do you ever add the metallics to your paintings ?

[@randihart5731]

Heather Riche yes I do 👍 and I love metallics 😍 but with this particular technique it a bit tricky. It’s easier using metallics when you have more ink and isopropyl on the paper to mix it whit

[@MamtaSharma-nm2ft]

You are using heatgun nicely but my Nara paper gets distorted by heat gun usage. What to do?

[@randihart5731]

I don’t really use my heat gun anymore, but it had different settings so I could use low heat that didn’t ruin the paper. Now I use a Remington dryer 👍

[@kayanderson4128]

I notice that the ink doesn't automatically spread on Nara paper. Can you do this technique with other types of paper?

[@randihart5731]

The dark colors don’t spread on Nara, but some of the brighter colors does. Yes you can do this on other types of paper but you might get stains (like on Yupo ) no stains on Nara 😄

[@scenesofnewfoundland]

[@oanaschultz7523]

Hi. I love the video... if u don't mind trouble shooting something for me. I see that when you blow the alcohol into the color, at the other end the alcohol and ink doesn't bleed up. Your line stays put... does it make sense? My line gets pushed up ruining the bubble. I'm staying far from the other end with the blower... thank you

[@randihart5731]

Oana Schultz thank you. Hmm.... I’m thinking there’s probably to much power on your heatgun/hairdryer...... my heatgun has 3 levels and I only use the first level, where the air comes out really “slowly”. So try something with less power. 👍 also make sure there’s not to much isopropyl on the paper, that will make the ink move to much. I hope that helps you 🙏🙏

[@oanaschultz7523]

@@randihart5731 thank you. Maybe it's too much alcohol

[@randihart5731]

Oana Schultz maybe.... try with less and see if it helps 👍
