How to make an alcohol ink flower with soft ripples [33]

[@allisonjames2923]

This is stunning! I love those soft ripples. Especially as we could barely see them until you tilted it into the light & then put that warm light on. Would love to see a waterscape using the ripples like sunlight, as well as more flowers

[@randihart5731]

Thank you very much 😊 I done do much waterscape but you never know

[@terriball7862]

Love the brass effects. Simple but elegant, beautiful. Thank you!

[@randihart5731]

Thank you 😊

[@melindazupan9131]

I like the way you use a brush to add brass. Much more control than just putting it down with oak. Thank you for all your tutorials. 🙌🙌🙌

[@randihart5731]

You’re welcome ☺️ I often add brass/ink with a brush, gives it something extra

[@tgesham]

I love your flower and find your videos easy to follow. Please do more flowers. Thank you.

I love this flower. I am afraid to try the ripples in case I am terrible at it and I truly want them to work. I do have everything ready to go. The ripples and lines are lovely. I have already fallen in love with brass ink. Thank you.

[@randihart5731]

You’re welcome ☺️ ripples are tricky at first, just keep practicing

[@HeiderosesPhotograph]

I LIKE THIS FLOWER WITHOUT A LEAVE. I JUST MADE LAST WEEKEND A SQUIRRELY FLOWER AND I LEFT THE LEAVES AWAY. I TRIES THOSE RIPPLES, BUT THEY DID NOT COME OUT I WANTED THEM. BUT I WILL TRY AGAIN, WHENEVER I AM IN THE FLOW. THIS IS A TEDIOUS WORK ....SOME PEOPLE CAN HANDLE IT. BUT THIS PAINTING IS REALLY GORGEOUS....TFS :)

[@randihart5731]

Sometimes a flower needs leaves... sometime it doesn’t 😃 ripples can be a bit tricky, just keep trying 👍

Ink is addictive 😁 all you need is synthetic paper, ink and alcohol + hairdryer or bulb blower. For alcohol I use Navimer (grain alcohol)

Is the brass an alcohol ink color? Can u ass brass color with acrylic paint after its dry? Just alittle lines. Ik there different.

Yes brass is alcohol ink. Probably won’t work with acrylic, you need alcohol to move the brass

Can you please see if the hair dryer you are using is still available on Amazon and, if so, provide us a link? I have not had much success with a travel hair dryer that's 1000 watts that someone else on KZbin recommended for alcohol inks nor the Conair 2-in-1 Hot Air Curling Combo that was also recommended by someone on KZbin for the alcohol inks (though I've had a bit better luck with that one and just take the attachment off). It's been frustrating and I find the hair dryer or curling combo (with brush off) tends to blow the inks still too much even though their wattage is a lot less. I have plenty of alcohol (I think) mixed in with the inks. Any suggestions would be SO appreciated!! Thank you!

[@randihart5731]

May I ask...what kind of blower is that? It seems like it is a very low air flow? I'm wondering if an air brush would accomplish the same or I would just pick up one like yours.

[@randihart5731]

Thank you very much 😊 mine is a Remington volume and curl. The air flow isn’t actually that low, it’s all about how you use it around the ink. I talk about air and heat in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6W5c2isjcmolbM I don’t use an air brush so don’t really know if you could get he same effect
