Alcohol ink and Posca pen flower

Hello and welcome! Today I decided to go back to where I began with alcohol ink and create a flower. It feels like I haven't created one of these in a while. I used Posca pens for the center and I love how it turned out. I hope you enjoy the video and give it a try.

The sped up version works for me. You describe what you are doing beautifully as you go along

[@VivoVintageDesigns]

😁

[@LollyGaggler]

I love the sped up video with the voice over explaining everything...thank you 😊

[@VivoVintageDesigns]

That seems to be most popular. Thank you for your feedback.

[@Richiedei50]

Great video. Thanks a million Jeannette. You’re so right about the black background. It really makes it all pop.

[@VivoVintageDesigns]

😊

[@mltibbetts1290]

I really enjoy your videos and would enjoy the regular speed version. To fully embrace a technique I usually have to watch several times. You do a beautiful job explaining how-tos. Thank you

[@VivoVintageDesigns]

Thank you for your thoughts.

[@theresawade146]

I really enjoy your presentation, whether sped up or at regular speed. I always learn something from each video. Thank you!

[@VivoVintageDesigns]

Thank you

[@TheMilliD]

The sped up version works for me because it's still slow enough that we can see every step you take. You are one of my favorite teachers because the speed is just right and you explain everything so well in your voice overs!

[@VivoVintageDesigns]

Thank you 😊. Most agree, so I think I'll continue doing what I'm doing.

[@eileenmenzies5334]

Quite happy with the way your work as it is thank you Eileen Scotland

[@VivoVintageDesigns]

Thank you Eileen 😊

[@mpetersen2586]

The sped up videos are fine with me. They are not annoying as some of the other artist’s videos! As one person said, we can always go forward or backwards by moving the red line at the bottom. This flower was beautiful and the video “just right”! Thanks for always sharing and being transparent….gives me confidence to try! Thanks😊

[@VivoVintageDesigns]

Thank you. I'm glad to know you're happy with the way I create the videos.

[@PNW_Life]

I don't mind the sped up version. I do like a variety of lengths though. Sometimes I will be sitting and crocheting and I just want to listen and watch a longer video of my favorite arts. This flower turned out beautiful. I need to get a few posca's added to my tools. I love how the black made the flower pop.

[@VivoVintageDesigns]

Thank you so much for your thoughts. I love a black background. It makes everything pop so much more than white.

[@leisageorge4188]

I LOVE ❤️ the format as you post them as everyone says you do a fantastic job explaining it all seamlessly ‼️‼️ I would also absolutely love and watch real time videos from you as it would give a more realistic time frame for beginners. You are a wonderful teacher, love your work and your willingness to share your expertise ‼️‼️🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🤗

[@VivoVintageDesigns]

Thank you so much for the kind words. ☺️

[@velindahedges5975]

I’m very new to the inks, but find your videos extremely helpful and informative..Sped up or Normal, I can watch your tutorials all day. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and advice and amazing talent on here 😊

[@VivoVintageDesigns]

Thank you so much. I'm glad you find them helpful 😊

[@laughingmyao3350]

I appreciate both the content and speed. It seems more appropriate to show things in real time if you expect someone to do the exact same thing as you- like a paint by number. But where you teach a technique it seems like explaining how to do it and what could go wrong/how to avoid it would be most useful. This was definitely the case for me.

[@VivoVintageDesigns]

Thank you for your feed back. You can always slow the video down in your yt settings.

[@nancydavisstudio]

Best flower tutorial I’ve ever seen. Thank you for explaining how to gently reshape the petals if they start to split. I keep telling myself I’m never going to try another flower, but maybe I will after seeing this. 🙄

[@VivoVintageDesigns]

Thank you so much. I'm glad you found the information helpful 😊

[@roz7620]

Sped up is fine. But I would also watch a longer version if that’s what you choose. Do what’s easier for you. Love your work. Everything you create is beautiful to me. You are also a great teacher.

[@VivoVintageDesigns]

Thank you Roz. I think I'll do a combination of both moving forward.

[@jacqgord]

Love all your work, some absolutely amazing art. I would watch both sped up are half hr videos, although sped up would probably take me longer to catch on what's happening. Thank you so much for sharing your talent.

[@VivoVintageDesigns]

Thank you for sharing your thoughts with me. 😊

[@sheryllelliott4284]

I prefer sped up. You're still showing all the very important steps in the creative process. It's not necessary to watch you outline each petal, etc. I absolutely love your work and your video style is perfect.

[@VivoVintageDesigns]

Thank you!

[@TJ-mu6ud]

I think you should post your videos the way it works best for you. I absolutely love this one!!!😊

I like watchn u normally. I learn more i think?

[@MusicLover-sb7mo]

I don’t mind sped up sections where it is repetitive, then slow down when introducing other techniques. Your voice overs are seamless. While viewers can speed up the videos on their own, I think it negatively effects your KZbin analytics. KZbin may think you viewers are bored and may not push your content out. You want full views and engagement (like and comment) to grow. So it is better for you to control the length of your video. You are right about using black ink becoming streaky. It happened to me and ruined one of my better paintings.

[@VivoVintageDesigns]

Those are very valid points. Thank you.

[@paulawalker9016]

If I need to I will slow the speed down in the settings.

[@shelley3561]

I prefer the sped up version with comments.

[@VivoVintageDesigns]

Thank you for your input

[@carolwade8627]

Love the way you presented this tutorial. A lot of troubleshooting tips. It is probably the first time i have conquered a flower. My only issue is getting a round centre. Is there a way to round it off? My ink doesnt sit in a circle - it slides off in all directions. Im using photo paper and pinata inks. Thanks

[@VivoVintageDesigns]

Thank you. You can always use a micro brush to reshape it if necessary, however, it doesn't have to be perfectly round as long as the center you create is as round as you'd like it to be.

[@SuzanneLegault]

I think your videos are perfect. Maybe post longer videos on patreon or youtube subscription

[@VivoVintageDesigns]

I've been thinking about that.

[@barbmelcarek2497]

I guess I like some of each…not much help, am I?😊

[@VivoVintageDesigns]

I think the majority of followers are happy with I'm already doing, so that's great to know. There will be times where I need to slow it down so I can explain and demonstrate, but otherwise I'll just keep doing what I'm doing. 😊

[@carolwade8627]

The Posca pens you use are watermarked? Is that correct. They're not easily accessible here, so I just want to check. Love your tutorials ♡

[@carolwade8627]

Waterbased?

[@carolwade8627]

Or are they the acrylic paint pens?

[@VivoVintageDesigns]

@Carol Wade they are acrylic paint pens and I do believe they are water-based.

[@carolwade8627]

Excellent. Thanks

[@josettearmstrong9640]

Can you please blow out a flower on a canvas board?

[@VivoVintageDesigns]

I have a few videos of flowers on canvas board. You just have to search through them. I don't think I categorized them, but here is one - kzbin.info/www/bejne/f17YlIptbdl3gLs

[@terriekaufman3681]

Speeding up is NOT needed because if someone is bored with watching the same thing, like blowing out several petals, all they need to do is advance the video to the next step by clicking on the red line at the bottom. They can control going forward or backward. If you speed them up I fear I would go nuts and have to stop the video to see what you did. Leave them as they should be and let your viewers control what they see and the ability to pass on by if that is what they need to do.

[@VivoVintageDesigns]

Very true!

[@Flower-yl3ht]

What you're doing now is perfect! Too long and monotonous if you didn't speed it up.
