How to control alcohol ink with your hairdryer [62]

[@lisabreton6060]

Thanks for the tough love🤣 this was one of the most helpful videos I’ve seen! Thank you!!

[@randihart5731]

LOL you are very very welcome 🤗 🤣😁

[@T3po69]

Excellent tutorial! I’ve learned more from this than from watching several others combined. I love how you explain exactly how to direct the hairdryer.

[@randihart5731]

Thank You 😊 so glad you liked it

[@FelixdaKhat]

I’m in agreement with you‼️

[@195516Z]

For what it's worth: I was able to get total control of my air flow simply by attaching a simple dimmer switch to control the hair dryer. Any brand no matter how powerful. It doesn't matter. I also attached a flexible hose and just hold the end of the hose. You can put the hair dryer off to the side without holding it at all and just use the flexible hose. Much, much easier! I use one in each hand and move the ink in ways just one hand cannot do. I was able to explore areas of creativity I previously could not.

[@randihart5731]

Great tip 🙌 thank you for sharing

[@cricketarevalo8785]

I never could control the ink with a dryer so I took to paint brushes-after this, I’m trying the dryer again!!! Thank you so much🎉

[@randihart5731]

You are very welcome 🤗

[@KimOneil-u5s]

This was the first video i have watched that really made me understand how to make the ink move and how to use a hair dryer properly. Thank you

[@artforalex2085]

This was incredibly helpful. As a beginner, I've been having a lot of trouble maintaining control over the ink with air, and this video helped save me so much time, effort and even money. Thank you!

[@roseyzebra7525]

Thank you for such informative videos! I started alcohol ink a month ago despite never doing art before and just came across your channel yesterday (video 30, lines and ripples) and this is now the 6th video of yours that I have watched and I have learnt so much - you are the best KZbinr out there for beginners! Thanks for taking the time to help us and for recognising what things we need to learn.

[@randihart5731]

You are very welcome 🤗 so glad you find them helpful

[@colleensmith2038]

Yes.....i ran out an bought a new 1000w hairdryer, then regretted it coz the ink wasn't doing what it should do😂😂. Thanks for the tough love! Thank you for a super useful video. Now I will try again....and, yes, I'll try to be patient 😅. But...I really want to create a masterpiece now😂😅

[@randihart5731]

You’re welcome 😃🤣 sure you will be making masterpieces soon 😊

[@debdennis7853]

Loved this tutorial - very helpful! ❤

[@kathygrieve8416]

Thank you so much for this very important information As a newbie I’m really excited and your videos are fantastic

[@randihart5731]

You are very very welcome 🤗

[@195516Z]

What works for me very well is to use flexible ducting or hose attached to the dryer. I just mount the dryer somewhere off or under the table and just guide the hose wherever you want it. Weighs next to nothing. You don't have to listen to all that noise. The hose flips out of the way the moment you let it go and you can control "too powerful" dryers very easily.

[@randihart5731]

So it works like an airbrush almost… ?

[@195516Z]

@@randihart5731 That's a good way to look at it. You can pinch off the end for a narrow stream of air or as wide as the dryer (about an inch or so ). You can have one in each hand at the same time and really move the ink in ways you couldn't do with just one hand.

[@randihart5731]

Very smart 👍😀

[@judithf9297]

But how do you attach the hose to the hair dryer? No matter how small the opening the hose will still be a lot narrower.?

[@kimmaccorin7812]

😂😂😂 That made me laugh! You're absolutely right, the problem is me! 😂 Great tutorial, as usual Randi, much needed, and very much appreciated! All I need to do now is follow your instructions 🤔 Thank you, for your unique and direct approach. 🤩

[@randihart5731]

It IS YOU 🤣🤣🤣 though I would try the “honest” approach….. 🤪 hope you have fun trying out your new hairdryer skills

[@carolsaylor6151]

Love the finger painting explanation! More tutorials, please and thank you!!!

[@randihart5731]

I finger paint all the time 🤩 many tutorials on my channel, and just uploaded a new one a couple of days ago

[@carolsaylor6151]

I have earned so much from you, Randi - mostly to just go slow and do my thing. We are our own worst critics and you've taught me to just chill, learn and enjoy the experience. Thank you so much, talented lady!

[@randihart5731]

You’re welcome ☺️ that is my best advice, be patient and take your time. “Just chill”….. that’s a good one. Can I steal that? 🤣 really want to say that next time I talk about slowing down

[@carolsaylor6151]

I'd be honored!!!!

[@randihart5731]

And another huge thank you! I have watched so many videos and even purchased the Revlon dryer but no one ever explained how to truly use it. And I agree with so many others here that this was one of the most helpful videos I have seen.

[@randihart5731]

You are very welcome 🙏 and your comment makes me sooo happy 😃 when I first started I didn’t know how to use the dryer either so I thought and hoped this video would be helpful to newbies

Hej Randi. Som iagttager ser arbejde med alkohol ink ud til at være nemt. Jeg har tænkt mig at prøve, da det måske kunne være en hyggelig hobby. Efter at have set denne video, som er meget lærerig, føler jeg mig mere ivrig efter at prøve. Tak for nogle enestående tips.

[@randihart5731]

Hej Lene 😊 du skal bestemt prøve, man bliver helt afhængig af alkohol ink. Der er selvfølgelig nogle som er natur talenter fra start (det var jeg ikke), men de fleste synes at det ser nemt ud…. Og når man så prøver er det slet ikke så let som man tror hihi. Men det er sjovt 👍😃 vil meget gerne høre hvad du synes om det når du får prøvet.
