When to watercolor with Distress Ink vs Distress Oxide

[@bonnielarson6431]

Thanks Tim! Thanks Mario! Thanks Sandy! This is great info! I got into the Distress Inks because of the transparency. Every time I had tried watercolor, I seemed to get a non transparent set! Or I was over concentrating the paint. Somehow, with Distress Inks, I finally understood the need for water, lots of water! Yes, it’s called watercolor, and I understood the need to make the liquid, but only to the extent you add water to drink mix to get what you want. The whole concept of varying the amount of water to vary the intensity of the color, that came from watching Sandy watercolor and Tim demonstrating Distress Inks from his plastic Distress Ink palette (one or two drops?) More videos like this would be very much appreciated! Thanks again, to all!

Can now use inks / reindeers flexibly and I learned about Purple Onion, so thank you. I bought Arches for the first time last month, so exploring that, along with your brush recommendations thank you!

Great tutorial with lots of info. What a cute stamp set. I love both of your cards and all the details. I love what you do with windows. Mine never come out like that.

Wow! Sandy, this is a great tutorial. You are such a good teacher. Love the book store scene. This would be perfect for my book club friends.

[@julesl1436]

Amazing cards. I love them.

[@MariaNyceDesigns]

Wow!!! You NEVER cease to amaze me!!! I love that you showed us the virtues for the use of the properties in each of the Distress Inks/pads (Regular / Oxide). I didn’t really look at these Distress Inks as something you use together for some reason. I appreciate you taking the time to do this!!! Sending love, hugs, & blessings always!!!

Thank you Sandy

[@NotAfraidofColor]

Sandy, this is so cute. Thanks for going over the properties. I love your work.

[@stampinnscrapinwithdonnale7949]

Great cards! Thank you for sharing what you learned in using both types. I’ve not used them for water coloring but now I can use them too. Tim and Mario are so very generous , thank you to them too so you could share your experiences and knowledge with us. Have a blessed week!

[@karenzemko6518]

Great info as always. Not a medium I use but I love to learn new things - never know when it might come in handy down the road. Often wind up doing things I never thought I would! Your intricate coloring always blows me away! TFS

[@forestrhys476]

[@valsfaves787]

Very helpful information about the inks and such fun scenes !

[@louiseorr8963]

Really helpful thanks Sandy

[@christines.4444]

Great tutorial!!

[@cheriduran9955]

That was a great tutorial, as always. I've been thinking about doing this technique with water brushes. Thanks for all the tips!

[@kerstinholzer9917]

Sehr schön 😻

[@CouzCat]

Very helpful!

[@ruthiesiegel207]

Very nice... will this work with the ink pads?

[@SandyAllnock1]

I would think so

[@alisonrobinson3253]

Yes it does. I wipe my ink pad on a stamp block and either add water or use a water brush.

[@yvethemetriccrafter688]

I love your card, you have some amazing skills, one thing though, I thought distress ink does move if you wet it? I'm confused.

[@SandyAllnock1]

It does but not NEARLY as well.

[@SandyAllnock1]

Also distress inks were made to use on the cheap watercolor paper; I was using Arches and it’s not a fan of distress inks.

[@yvethemetriccrafter688]

@@SandyAllnock1 ahhh thank you that's answered my question.

[@ThankfulNanaDiane]

Super cute! Will the inks reactivate with water if they dry on your pallet? Thanks for sharing! 😊❤️

[@SandyAllnock1]

Yes they will.

[@sherrywoods4630]

Ahhhhh, I never thought about the differences when using them as watercolor....
