Ranger Adirondack Alcohol Ink on Grafix Dura-Lar Matte Film - Abstract - Trying for a Smoke Effect

[@paulafowler5099]

The beauty of abstract, is that there is no 'wrong' - even your mistakes add to the overall look. Love it.

[@norinemueller4588]

Just beautiful

I wished I could share with you, but, I am still learning myself 6 months later!! 100% for trying. You finished on a better note. My grand daughter when she was four years old would say grandma you must "try, try & try again". So keep up the good work. I look forward to watching your next invention! From Marlene in Cold Australia

[@DeliriArt]

Thank you! Your granddaughter is right! Plus, not knowing how to do something and trying to figure it out is part of the fun! I am so jealous of your weather right now! We had 95F in Alabama today, but yesterday it was 101F! It felt like 115F.

People are the same in the jewelry business. They won't share their tips re: specific metalsmith techniques. Lovely piece, by the way.

[@christinelynn8407]

You're looking for Myriam's videos on youtube. She gives all the tips on getting the smoke effect, using Dura-Lar Matte. She also has multiple videos about alcohol inks as well as other media.

[@DeliriArt]

Christine Lynn I have since figured it out on my own, but I searched high and low on KZbin and did not come up with anything until after this video. After this video I have found like 3. Go figure. 😂 Would have been super helpful a couple months ago! Myriam's videos have already been suggested to me and I plan to watch them and try some of her methods. They look awesome!

[@ritabrown2226]

Christine Lynn Myriam is a awesome teacher. She rocks at adulting! I love her sense of humor.

[@vandanakdr]

Beautiful. Do you use any sealer after you are done with inks?

[@deirdreromer9738]

I mean what is the name of the black tool you are using to blow the inks around the page?

[@GemmaHurrah]

Wow that is seriously inspiring!!! Really stunning work!!! You should have a million subs!! I really like the colours used and the technique!! :D :D

[@DeliriArt]

Kiss My Art, Thank you so much!

[@sarahwold4350]

Just love the final piece...we all scrub and scrub until something clicks. I like the addition to the middle after rest dries Keep up the good work.

[@DeliriArt]

Sarah Wold, Thank you! :)

[@s.baxter3891]

Myriams Nature shows everything in detail. Even how to use the mixatives, she dilutes them.

[@DeliriArt]

Sandy taylor Thank you. Her video on the wispy effect came out a month after this, and it seems a few more by other artists came out after that, too.. I wish it had been around when I was searching because I liked the method of diluting inks and it would have made a few things easier for me. But by the time it came out I had already figured it out through trial and error. That said, what she shows in her video is not what I was trying to achieve. I am going to make a video with examples and showing the process as I figured it out. What I was trying to get is closer to what I got in the video after this. It is hard to explain, and I guess wispy can mean different things, so I should just show it.

[@amywellerart]

Wow Anna, this is incredible! 😊 I've always wanted to try alcohol inks and the effect you got is so stunning and intricate. I use mainly coloured pencils but would really like to use looser mediums so thank you for this 😊 I have liked & subscribed!

[@DeliriArt]

Thank you, Amy! :) I love alcohol inks, but they are fugitive and so that makes me less likely to work with them. But they are sooo fun! I have recently discovered watercolors and I'm in love! I also love color pencils and have used them more than any other medium, I think, but I'm always sore after working with them. :/ I subscribed to your channel as well! :)

[@ritabrown2226]

Beautiful results!

[@DeliriArt]

Rita Brown thank you! And sorry for the delayed response. KZbin is being picky about which notifications it sends me. :/

[@pennykay6381]

This was very informative. I too am learning how to use ink, it is a challenge. I really liked the end result! Beautiful! 👍

[@DeliriArt]

I'm glad you found it useful. Alcohol inks are challenging. I've learned to follow their lead. Lol. My process for worki g with them has changed. I'm much more relaxed. I place down a color and kind of see what it wants to do and go from there. Thanks for watching! 😊💙

[@deirdreromer9738]

What are you using to puff the air?

[@DeliriArt]

It is called Giotto's Air Rocket Blaster, the large one. :)

[@spinningandwinningslotswit5241]

Ok done....

[@SJ-lj9bo]

Absolutely STUNNING piece! May I ask what inks/ colours you used?

[@DeliriArt]

Thank you! I used Ranger inks on Dura-lar paper. I believe the exact colors were Stream, Butterscotch, and Wild Berry (I think that is what the magenta was called). They sell those as a set and it works great as a primary triad. You can make just about any color with those 3.

[@ronalynn8994]

I think it is silly too that some people don't want to share. It's really so childish lol Thank you for sharing your tips. I am just starting with alcohol inks and I appreciate your knowledge :)

[@DeliriArt]

Rona Sullivan, thank you. :)

[@MCGrafite]

looks amazing

[@DeliriArt]

MC Grafite, Thank you! :)

[@melodyaxe745]

A heat gun or blow dryer or canned air can give a good blend.

[@DeliriArt]

Melody Axe Yep. I use my hair dryer now. My issue was that I was overworking it and adding too much ink. Overworking my art is still something I struggle with, but I'm getting better. :)

[@holly-anne680]

Of all the trendy art out there alcohol inks are the one I want to master most, with very lil results so far, I'll get it LOL! I know what you mean about sharing I see many pieces around the internet I would love to see a video on, however, trying to find ones own goal, maybe experimenting is the most fun and along the way find a way by yourself......that's very satisfying! I love your vids...….thank you!

[@Davy.J.Y]

Awesome paint effects,,, some really nice images in there.. love it :)(

[@DeliriArt]

DAVY. J.Y. Art with a pen., Thank you! :)

[@roberthewett7117]

Enjoyed very much, will be watching in the future. May I ask what tool you used to blow/move the ink around. Thanks again

[@DeliriArt]

Robert Hewett, Thank you. It is the Giottos Large Air Rocket - link in the description. :)

[@bshiles571]

Really love this...what is that you're using to blow with?

[@DeliriArt]

Becki Shiles Thanks! It is the Giottos Large Air Rocket. www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00017LSPI/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1521952293&sr=8-2&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=giottos+rocket+air+blower&dpPl=1&dpID=31X%2ByyPQtUL&ref=plSrch

[@margaretgilbert727]

Thanks lovely

[@marieduncan8746]

Try Unalomr Art. She uses a hair dryer and gets spectacular results.

[@alexserra9605]

Girl use a blow dryer for those wispy Smokey effects keep it close to your paper really close and get the edges of the ink don't work from them and I'll work from the outer edges of your puddle

[@DeliriArt]

Yes! I figured this out a while back by just trying a gazillion different things. I have another AI video I'm editing and will upload very soon where that is one of the methods I use on claybord. I am still afraid to do it on my duralar and I don't have the thick yupo. But lucky for me I have the clayboard panels and plenty of white painted aluminum panels. :)

[@cristinafloris8725]

👍😊merci pour le coseil😍

[@cristinafloris8725]

Moi j’aime cet jolis, pas grave d’efaser et recommencer , cet com sa qu’on aprend 👏👏👏😂😄

[@DeliriArt]

Cristina Floris, C'est la beauté des encres d'alcool et un substrat non poreux. Vous pouvez essayer et essayer jusqu'à ce que vous l'aimiez et ensuite vouz le sceller. :)

[@Flightnursejj]

Nice job girl friend

[@jvd2611]

I don’t know what type of tape you’re using but I found Washi tape to be best for the cleanest edge. Really like your work!

[@DeliriArt]

John Peacher, Thank you! I'm using scotch magic tape. It works perfectly, I was just sloppy taking it off while it was still wet.
