Alcohol ink is all the rage these days in the art
circles. Once used primarily in card
making and crafts, alcohol ink is now being used to produce fine art. The
paintings are vibrant and fluid in appearance.
Because the inks have alcohol in them, when the colors
combine they "explode" with interesting results and designs. To paint with it, you have to have an almost
dry sticky brush.
Alcohol
inks can be used on any non porous surface such as porcelain, glass or gessoed
smooth finish art board. Yupo paper also produces wonderful results. Yupo paper
is made of plastic pellets . The finish is very smooth allowing the inks to
move across the surface. Here are a few
examples of paintings with alcohol in on traditional painting surfaces as well
as porcelain. Look for these and other pieces at the Glen Burnie High School craft show (7550 Baltimore Annapolis Blvd, Glen Burnie, MD 21060) March 15, 9-3 pm.Stop by and see me.
