Alcohol ink - how to use your hairdryer for fades [15]

Little alcohol ink tutorial on how to use your hairdryer when doing ink fades etc.
When I first started with ink I found it very difficult to control the air. Inks flew all over the place.... so I thought I would do a little video showing you guys how I use my hairdryer and give beginners some tips and tricks.
I have a Remington hairdryer - it came with some brush attachments that I put away. I use very little heat and the lowest volume. I know other ink artist who use a Revlon hairdryer which is very similar to mine.
I hope some of you will find this video helpful.
It was fun to do and I actually really like how this little piece turned out.... what do you think about the end result??

Thank you 🙏

[@ishaguptadesigns]

Great information. Thank you so much. It looks so easy when you do it, I need tons of practice 😊

[@randihart5731]

Thank you 🙏 ink is never as easy as it looks 🙈 I practiced a lot too before I got the hang of it... and I still mess it up sometimes 🤣

[@AntoniyaArtistry]

Thank you for sharing. It’s so hard to find videos with instructions on how to hold the dryer and how to navigate it to control the air. This is very helpful.

[@randihart5731]

You’re welcome ☺️ I did a tutorial on hairdryers etc. kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6W5c2isjcmolbM I do a little “demonstration” at the end of the video

[@doreenfong6264]

So glad I found your channel. Your videos are easy to follow and incredibly helpful 🙏🏼

[@randihart5731]

Thank you 🙏 so happy you find them useful. The whole reason I started doing these videos, is because when I was new to inks, it was very difficult for me to find videos that really explained things. So I thought I would start “paying it forward”

[@carolinepurcell]

Randi, thank you for your explanation it was very good. Iam just now learning how to control the hairdryer, first I thought what a piece of s????. But it was me. Haha your always very informative thank you.

[@randihart5731]

Thank you very much 🙏 I thought the same thing about my hairdryer when I first started 🤣

Thank you 😊 I use low heat. You can use cold air too, takes a bit longer though

[@theymove5325]

Could you do this with an airbrush? I am new to alcohol inks And I'm trying to learn the techniques. I Have a hair dryer, but not the stick kind. Not sure if it will work but I do have an airbrush if you could recommend any videos to watch, I would appreciate it.

[@randihart5731]

Yes but airbrush is tricky at first, but you should definitely try. If you go to my channel I have a few tutorials with the airbrush

[@lindadozier8055]

Your tutorials are amazing. Did I hear you say you use Nara paper?

[@randihart5731]

Thank you 😊 yes I only use Nara

[@lindadozier8055]

Even though they say it doesn’t , I have trouble with staining on yupo. Maybe I’m doing something wrong.

[@randihart5731]

You’re not doing anything wrong… yupo stains a lot

Are you using low heat? Is your Remington dryer a hairbrush dryer? And where did you purchase it? Thank you!

[@randihart5731]

Low heat, yes 👍 Remington is a hairbrush dryer, it’s called volume and curl, bought in a danish shop 🙏 You can see and hear a bit more about it in my latest video, no 26.

Hi Randi. Love your art! I am beginning with alcohol inks and liked the idea of doing it in white ceramic tile, which was recommended a couple of different places. Have you ever had a problem with your ink wiping off your project when you think it’s dry? I have found it to happen with Ranger as well as a less expensive brand I have. I’m wondering what I’m doing wrong.

[@randihart5731]

Hi 😊 you’re not doing anything wrong- you can always wipe some ink off, especially on a tile. If you want to keep what you painted you just have to varnish it.

[@T3po69]

Thank you for your quick response! I’ve been scouring the internet. I just remembered that I saw a diy blending solution that was alcohol plus a drop of glycerin. That may not have helped.

[@randihart5731]

Maybe not… i never use any kind of blending solution, only alcohol 😊

[@karinediot387]

Great video and explanation ! Very helpful as usual ! 🙂👍 Could you tell me what kind of paper are you working on and the setting of your hairdryer please ?

[@randihart5731]

Thank you very much 🙏 I use Nara paper, it’s the best in my opinion 😌 I use the lowest volume and the cool setting- it is not completely cold but very little heat. If I only use cold air it takes a very long time to dry 👍

Randi, I love this one! what kind of paper are you using? Also, the little bottles that you are using in the video seem to have a different tip on them that doesn't release as much ink/alcohol than what I am using. ♥♥♥

[@randihart5731]

Thank you 🙏 I’m using Nara paper., it’s the best 😍 the one I use for isopropyl has a very tiny tip, almost needle size, I think you could probably find them on Amazon

[@ginniebrchner6448]

Hej Randi. Jeg elsker dine videoer og har fundet så megen hjælp og inspiration hos dig! Jeg har et spørgsmål; når jeg lægger min ink på papiret, så spreder det sig med det samme, hvor dit bliver så fint liggende i den pøl/prik du lægger det. Hvorfor gør mit ikke det? 😩 jeg bruger også ranger og touch ink og bruger det yupo papir der hedder Academy Series der bl.a. har grå og pink alkohol ink “blomster” på forsiden. Håber virkelig du kan hjælpe mig, for er så super frustreret! 🙁

[@randihart5731]

Hej Ginnie 😊 det er pga af papiret. På både Academy papir og Yupo papir suger ink’en en lille smule ned i papiret og det er derfor det spreder sig ud. Jeg bruger ofte Nara papir, og her suger det ikke rigtig ned i - og bliver derfor liggende lige der hvor jeg drypper ink’en på. På Nara kan man tørre alt ink’en af igen med alkohol - har man tørret noget af på et stykke papir og kommer ny ink på, vil ink’en også sprede sig en lille smule mere ud som på andre typer papir. Håber det hjælper 🤞☺️

[@ginniebrchner6448]

@@randihart5731 tuuuusinde tusinde tak! Jeg får straks bestilt nara 🤩 Og tak for alle dine videoer! Det er ikke mange real-time-tutorials, så som nybegynder har du virkelig hjulpet meget med dine smukke værker 🤩😍

Velbekommen ☺️🥰 Nara er lidt dyrere men virkelig godt, mindre spild af papir.

[@jeannerockow4094]

Thank you for the awesome video. I am a beginner with AI, would a heat gun work in the same manner? I bought one for my acrylic pouring to remove bubbles but I am going to try with AI.

[@randihart5731]

You’re welcome. Yes you can use a heat gun, but it depends on the type.... my heat gun has different settings, and I only use the lowest amount of air and heat. If it’s to hot it will ruin the paper. So maybe try it out on a small piece of paper first and see what happens
