Hi Teresa! I have owned the alcohol inks for about a year and have not known what to do with them. You tube brought you to my attention and I have now watched 3 of your videos tonight. I am officially subscribed and rang the bell. I look forward to learning lots more about your techniques with the alcohol inks! Thank you for sharing! Laura m🦋🖌

[@TeresaKovalak]

Thank you so much your kind words mean so much to me and I'm glad you enjoy my videos.😘😘😘💕🎨🖌📽

[@kim99may]

❤️🌈❤️I’ll have to try some pine trees on the kindness rocks I’m working on to practice. Inspired.

[@Pocketpebbledesigns]

Just found you. Loving your art. Just starting inks. Where can I purchase these glazed 2” tiles? Thx.

[@elizabethoneill4422]

This was a great tutorial and I learned a lot... the sound was great with noise canceling earphones on. What do you use the Fantastix for though... or did I miss this part? 😀

[@TeresaKovalak]

No you didn't miss that part I forgot to do it,🤣 I sometimes use them to take ink off the page. Glad you enjoyed my tutorial. 🎨🖌😘💕

[@janiceleemelton]

Thank you for the tutorial. I have tried to make the birds in the sky, but am having difficulty getting my brushes to make the tiny lines. I have purchased multiple liner brushes to no avail. What size and brand makes the tiny birds in your skies? Would a extra fine marker for the same effect? Thank you!

[@TeresaKovalak]

It's best to use a paintbrush the 2 different types that I really like are Artist's loft 18/0 Round and Princeton 20/0 Select Petite. I picked mine up from Michaels arts and crafts.🖌🎨 Hope this helps. The reason you may not want to use the marker is it can fade sometimes.😉

[@janiceleemelton]

@@TeresaKovalak Thank you so much.

[@alanalendvay6131]

Good Morning Teresa. I have a question about sealing tiles. I baked my ceramic tiles and vase. Do I need to also protect them with a varnish? Also, I've purchased Ranger Alcohol Ink gloss card stock and I HATE it. When I apply alcohol inks on it round blotches are left on it. I've also put 90% alcohol and also tried blending solution. No help. Is this card stock not meant for alcohol blending. Thanks so much.

[@TeresaKovalak]

Good evening, I seal all of my paintings with kamar varnish and uv resistant made by krylon... Although now that I am using T- Rexinks I have to use a different sealer That works, it's UV Archival varnish... If you're not using the T-Rexinks You don't need to use UV Archival varnish. 🖌🎨 Hope this helps.😉

[@alanalendvay6131]

Hi! What # brush do you use for the tree and birds

[@TeresaKovalak]

I like the Princeton Round petite 12/0 Or Artist loft Vienna round round Redondo 18/0 Hope this helps. 🎨🖌

[@jennyhowes9241]

Is there any way of painting with alcohol inks that would leave clean lines? I would like to paint garden scenes without all the bloom that the inks seem to leave

[@TeresaKovalak]

The best way to have clean lines is paint fast...🖌🎨

[@marilynbaziak532]

hope you're going to redo this with volume increased

[@TeresaKovalak]

Yes I will be doing that when I start making tutorials again after the holidays.😉🖌🎨🦃🎄⛄
