[@AngelasMixedMediaArtist]

So beautiful thx

[@ArtistTillDeath]

Thank you so much, I keep meaning to finish her

[@carolineward6445]

I’m sure that Andi Wright would be really flattered to know that she is being such an inspiration to other artists.Be sure to thank her !

[@ArtistTillDeath]

Absolutely! Thank you for letting me know her last name, I couldn't remember it at the time of filming. I have sent her a message on FB to let her know what a fan of her work I am. Hers is so much more refined and beautiful than mine but I had to give it a shot. Thank you for the comment!

[@sandranixon7337]

Absolutely lovely!

[@paulawall2448]

That is very very lovely!! I LOVE it!

[@ArtistTillDeath]

Thank you so much Paula! I still have it, haven't figured out if I want to do more to it or seal it with resin and put it up for sale.

[@gailnoblehalporn3146]

Fabulous!🎨

[@ArtistTillDeath]

Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment Gail!

[@gailnoblehalporn3146]

Your welcome! I just found your channel today. I love what you do and will watch more of your videos to learn more. (And of course subscribe!) I am new to working with alcohol inks but love them. What level of heat do you use? I tried my blow dryer ( and have some “burned areas”).

[@1tinac]

Wow this is impressive. Thanks for sharing your creativity.

[@susanringrose851]

It’s beautiful.

[@karanouren1596]

Stunning!!

[@ArtistTillDeath]

Karan Ouren thank you so much! I keep meaning to do another alcohol ink painting

[@blustar30]

I love this...so beautiful.

[@ArtistTillDeath]

Thank you so much. I am toying with the idea of making another one.

[@ladygemologist8505]

Came out beautiful.. hope you do more inks.

[@talkingdove5583]

Its just so beautiful! The colors are perfect and the movement as if the wind is blowing the petals off! I love this!

[@ArtistTillDeath]

Thank you so very much! I'm debating on adding a frame before I post her for sale.

[@lindajohnston759]

I just sit here mesmerized. It is just beautiful. I don't know how you could improve!

[@ArtistTillDeath]

Wow, thank you so much for the sweet comment! Now I just have to figure out how to hang her... Maybe I will just make a frame.

[@lindajohnston759]

You could E6000 'D' hooks on the back. They hold up to a zillion pounds!

[@ArtistTillDeath]

I have considered that but then I realized I'm not a fan of the edges...

[@emelyisthat]

So Beautiful 🥰 what kind Of paper do you use?

[@diogenes1784]

I have a question, what superfície ist that, acryl board? Could you put resin over it, or the ink get off? Thank’s, great job!

[@isabowie6650]

Thanks should've done that wasn't thinking lovely work love to try that ink painting

[@ArtistTillDeath]

You should totally try it Isa! Thank you :)

[@debsart1008]

Another day and we learn something else new - how cool you guys are!

[@ArtistTillDeath]

Debra Cox wow, thank you again for another awesome compliment!!

[@elaine-cb]

PS Just found your Resin art..... Tutorials..... Brilliant. Oh how I love all you talented artists who are willing to share their skills. Thank you 😊

[@dalyte62]

This is just amazing

[@ArtistTillDeath]

Dalia Teti wow, thank you so much for the compliment!!

[@elaine-cb]

Hi loved watching your vids, thanks for sharing your process and really appreciated your comments and clarifications, I have just returned to Alcohol Inks after playing with Acrylic pours.... FUN.... but tiny flat and big mess created mayhem & disharmony! Have been keen to try Resin my art but concerned about disasters and the smell in my small space. I live in UK so my supplies might be limited. Any words of wisdom for me to get me experimenting?😊

[@vivianmcclanahan5653]

Where did you get the white masonite? I thought masonite was brown. Duh. Love it

[@ArtistTillDeath]

Haha, I have so many "duh" moments in my days lol. I got it from Home Depot in a large sheet - cut down to 4 sheets. It's in the wood section.

[@Amandahugginkizz]

This is amazing. I have a cherry blossom tree from my ankle to my thigh tattooed

[@jenpatel949]

I spy big brother on the iPad

[@gr8eft]

Loved it !!! & Loved it some more !! The only thing I can possibly help w/ here is to spray a couple layers of UV resistant coating, like Kamar before resining. I think I will be watching this one a lot.

[@ArtistTillDeath]

gr8eft I hadn't even thought about that! Great tip! Hobby lobby?

[@gr8eft]

Home depot or Michaels that I know of. Never been to Hobby Lobby, they probably do.

[@ArtistTillDeath]

gr8eft perfect! Thank you so much

[@gr8eft]

So welcome ! I hope you will share this w/the Alcohol Ink on Yupo Group on FB. They will go nuts with this video.

[@ArtistTillDeath]

gr8eft can I share the video link? I know some groups frown on leaving links that deviate from FB

[@alycherry6459]

This is beautiful, I love it! I understood what you were doing with the falling petals/blooms lol. I’m excited to hear you are going to resin it because I was wondering how you were going to finish it. I don’t think that I could explain what I am doing while I am working...so I understand why you don’t talk while taping. But I do find the typed words go way too fast and a bit distracting. Do you think voice over would be more complicated? Might be easier then typing? But I truly have no idea! Lol Just in my head it looks easier! If not, maybe leave the words up a bit longer? Just a thought. Love your videos! I learn a lot! Thank you

[@ArtistTillDeath]

I really appreciate your feedback Alison! I have started to do more spoken stuff and have leaned away from the typed. I really appreciate your watching 🤗🤗

[@alycherry6459]

Artist Till Death well I’m burning through your videos! I looooooves them! And I think you and Jeff are an amazing in sync couple where you don’t even seem to need to talk...you just know! I cant imagine letting my husband get his fingers in my art work lol. But you guys work as if you are one person...beautiful! ❤️

[@michellecheong2669]

Simply awesome video! Thanks for sharing your creativity. May I know what kind of blow dryer you use & where can I get it? Thx a lot!

[@ArtistTillDeath]

Thank you so much Michelle! My blow dryer is a conair - here is a link www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000R80ZTQ/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=atdstudios-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B000R80ZTQ&linkId=7a3b015fb0366f50cbb7431ebe2a12b3 I also use a heat gun in this video, it's a wagner: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M020KO1/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=atdstudios-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B01M020KO1&linkId=005920ebfa0f6c04588e442df293f7d5 Hope this helps!

[@tiffanysullivan3672]

This is fantastic! Did you prime your masonite board before applying your inks? Or did you just apply them on the surface just as you bought it? You should make more videos!

[@ArtistTillDeath]

I applied the alcohol inks and alcohol directly to the board as I bought it (the only thing i did was cut it down to a 24x48). We have a lot of videos, just not many with alcohol ink. I love working with the medium and will definitely do more. Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment!!

[@tiffanysullivan3672]

Thanks for replying! I found and watched many of your resin videos last night. I want to try that as well. I just need to dive in and give it a shot! Thanks!

[@ArtistTillDeath]

Tiffany Sullivan thank you so much for watching! I try to answer every comment, every time. Also, you should totally dive in! Start small and work your way up when you get comfortable!

[@andis24art13]

Thanks for the shout out :😊🙏🏻 Yours is a lovely piece and it’s a nice feeling for me knowing my work inspired to do create your own version 👍🏻

[@ArtistTillDeath]

I hope all of my subscribers check out your channel - and I hope you post more videos of your awesome work.

[@andis24art13]

Thank you. Tutorials are for the near future. For now, There will be more time lapse videos :)

[@faridafluidart7588]

I like it so much! Especially how you took your time for all fine detailing which really adds to this great piece. One question - is this a Masonite board and where did you get it with such smooth and ink friendly surface?

[@ArtistTillDeath]

Thank you so much Farida! I guess that comes from hand painting with a brush for so long - it's a habit to want to add certain details. It is Masonite - it's basically finished like a dry erase board. I bought it from Home Depot in a large sheet and had them cut it down to 24x48 inch sections. You have very lovely pours, I always made mud with my acrylic pours - not pretty at all.

[@faridafluidart7588]

Thank you! I've been watching you channel for awhile now, I like that you, guys are so versatile in styles and cool :) Will try to not miss your live video today :)

[@ArtistTillDeath]

Thank you so much for your feedback. Hope to see you this evening for the live pour!

[@jotelford1715]

Just like Andi Wright ' s beautiful work. I assume she was your inspiration.

[@ArtistTillDeath]

Yes! I couldn't remember her last name at the time of filming this but I saw her speed painting in a FB group and I was so inspired. I don't think she added gold to hers but hers was so gorgeous that I had to give it a shot (and I still think hers is better than mine). Thank you for commenting.

[@kimrendell922]

can you please tell me what paper product you are using that is that large

[@ArtistTillDeath]

Hello Kim, it is a white masonite

[@carlasmith2105]

I love it. Was great seeing the evolution. I have two questions though. I don't understand the two pink "blobs" (sorry, don't know what to call them) that are on the upper right of the substrate. They don't seem to be connected to anything. What am I missing? Second question, will you resin this? Seems like it would just be even more beautiful with that.

[@ArtistTillDeath]

Yeah, I just added those because it looked too stark with it just being white. I guess i just added them because cherry blossom trees always have falling petals so I just added falling blobs lol - artistic license? I do plan to resin over it. I will probably walk away from the piece for a couple of days and revisit it to make sure there isn't anything else I want to add. Then I will resin over it.

[@carlasmith2105]

Awesome! Hope you show your process on that. Can't wait to see the finished product....falling petals and all! :+)

[@ArtistTillDeath]

Of course I will post the final product!!

[@louisettelefebvre7978]

magnifique

[@ArtistTillDeath]

Thank you so much

[@Rob-Hannon]

Man you guys cranked some videos out today. Did you end up needing to seal the masonite with anything?

[@ArtistTillDeath]

Rob H just catching up lol. I'm compressing the videos we did for Halloween face paint now. Takes forever so I just spent the day catching up. I didnt seal it at all - it accepted the ink just like the ceramic tiles did.

[@claudiachappel3350]

Hi, Question. Did you treat the panel before painting it or was it just gesso'd when you purchased it? Ty

[@isabowie6650]

The writing goes off before I get a chance to read what it says let it stay on for a bit longer

[@ArtistTillDeath]

Sorry about that.if you need to just pause it and tap your screen and you will be able to read it. That's one of our first videos we did.so we have Improved. Lol. We go Live at 8pm,cst tonight. Thanks for your feedback.

[@timlouden5088]

Great Job! Loved the video! only one question DUH :)

[@ArtistTillDeath]

tim louden haha, I definitely had too many DUH moments on this piece

[@mrs.marissafraser]

Gorgeous

[@ladyatlarge3844]

Homage to Andi Wright's work?

[@ArtistTillDeath]

Lady at Large yes!! I believe that's her. I was super inspired by a tree she put in a Facebook group. After I completed this piece I couldn't remember her last name, thank you so much. Hers is 100x better than mine

[@ladyatlarge3844]

Hers is definitely genius! You might want to mention you used her art as a jumping off place as a courtesy! :)

[@ArtistTillDeath]

I actually posted a photo and a link to this video in the same group on FB that I saw her work and said that I was inspired by Andi but couldn't remember her full screen name. But now that you have told me her last name I will definitely make the adjustments and let her know. Thank you for looking out

[@joanhalverson3796]

Could you add a link to this video please? Your picture is beautiful. Would have liked it in regular motion, not fast. Also consider adding your voice to video telling us what you are doing. What paper did you use? Thank you so much

[@PourLilArtist]

This just popped into my feed!! WOW soooo pretty Erika!! I’m going to have to try this w/resin(I hand painted a tiny 4”x6”, which came out cute!). 💜💜💜
