Hi thank you for filming it in real time, it gave me a better grasp of how you create the ripples! Quick question - If I want to create depth and multiple layers, how would you recommend sealing each layer? In other words, I'm not sure how to create a barrier between one layer and a layer on top of it so that the next layer is not affecting the lower one. Perhaps resin can be used as a barrier?
Hi there, yes resin is exactly what I would use! Sometimes resin can reactivate the alcohol inks though, so you should also seal the inks before adding resin. I have a blog on my site that includes a section on how to seal your inks :)
Thank you for sharing the beautiful work, you can see perfectly how laborious it is and the dedication it requires. I wonder if the brass and gold pinata behave the same... I have the gold and it always ends up in the background of my painting. 😞
This is so good thank you! I have a question, I have the pinata metallic gold, I am brand new to alcohol ink and got it in a kit with some yupo paper, a bottle of red, blue and yellow ink and a bottle of alcohol. I noticed that anytime I dropped gold ink, it would sink under the alcohol and ink and sit on the paper, even start soaking into the paper, and it was very stubborn and wouldn't move. I'm wondering if maybe it was old? Or I'm doing something wrong?
Hmm which brand of Yupo paper are you using? It should be waterproof so the ink should definitely not sink into the paper! If the gold sinks to the bottom of the isopropyl that is normal and that's what this technique tries to deal with 🙂 by putting ink on top of the gold it can push it to the surface again! Also make sure to shake it really well ☺️
I LOVE the way you did his video... Not just how Beautiful art and how it turned out... I'm talking about how you narrated it, and we didn't have to HEAR the NOISE of the Hair Dryer... Such a JOY to watch (not hear)... I just want to HEAR You Talk. Thank you so much for sharing this video.
I’m so glad I stumbled upon your channel. This is an amazing piece and your teaching style is excellent, especially for us newbies. thank you for sharing - I’ll try to catch up on many of your other tutorials. Cheryl in New Jersey. 🤩🤩🤩
Thank you - that was amazing. I am a newbie and ots not going too well with my golds etc - thay come out in blobs not a line. I am also waiting on another heat source to arrive - have been using a straw and the little blow ball. I have yuppa paper but not all inks are perhsps good quality ( I inherited some, mamy of which are dried out - but could perpahs be brought back to life with alchohol in their containers)? Also my alchohol is not isyprophl, its something else - will try to get some 99% today. I am so appreciative that you did that tutorial so slowly, that it was easily understood, also your voice is fantastic! See you later when I have my isyprophl afterwards. I am so looking forward to it - I thought I was crazy - all these tutortials, which look so easy and mine just dont look anything like them. You showed it beautifully, exactly hiw it should be - I thank you so much! lynda 💕🧚🏼♀️
Aw thanks so much for another lovely comment! Let me know how you've been getting on with it! And yes you can totally reactivate old inks with some more isopropyl :)
Love that you can use a travel hairdryer. Other people are using expensive airbrushes and I really did not want to spend a lot to get into this. I make greeting cards and alcohol inks would make beautiful ones. Thanks for the tip.
Hello me again.. just wondering why you leave the white piece at the bottom/top of yupo paper instead of covering the whole piece.. I hope to try this technique soon.. thank again :)
That's just because I like the look of it, like a gradient fading from white to dark! But you could definitely have ink from top to bottom, just hold it on the other end while you're inking that edge! :)
@@Coyasauce thank you for your prompt reply and explanation, really looking forward to doing this technique but ATM I have a broken wrist so am unable to do anything.... watch lots of you tube videos to pass the time.. I can do that with one hand to type and two eyes to look LOL ..
I'm trying to figure out why my brass ink doesn't stay together and form lines. It spreads like the regular ink and blends with the colors. I make sure I shake it well before use. Any tips or ideas what I may be doing wrong?
Yes! Take photos when it's the evening - light will be coming through at an angle, instead of directly above, and this will make the gold shine, especially if you take your photo from a somewhat low angle too. And when the lighting is just starting to get a bit darker, it can make the gold seem extra bright and make it pop out more 😊
This is beautiful! Thank you for showing this in real time. It really helps to see how it’s done and that you need to take your time as née layers are created.
STUNNING!!!! And so informative... I've have now subscribed and can hardly wait to see your works of art. And then to attempt to create something as beautiful as this. I do however have to wait until my Piñata Brass comes in. I have very other Piñata metallic and many Ranger metallic and as well as Ranger alloys BUT I keep hearing that Piñata Brass is THE BEST!!! Thank you so much for this video! What do you do with your finished pieces? I trying to incorporate mine into cards but have a hard time figuring out how to do so
Hi Nanci, sorry I just saw your reply now for some reason! I hope your Brass has arrived and you've been enjoying it! I use my finished pieces as cards as well, or frame them as wall art! I also mount them to wood and seal with resin but that's a longer process. Let me know how things went if you tried this technique!
Wow, this is definitely not as easy as you make it look lol 😂 I made a mess. A blue, sparkly mess! I absolutely love this tutorial and you do a great job explaining, I just need a LOT of practice with that paper bending
Love this technique.. you make it look so easy .. when I do it all the liquid falls off the yupo... I am going to give it another try.. is your hairdryer on cool or hot please? thanks for a great tutorial
Thank you so very much, I have been trying to get this technique forever and all the videos are too quick....I have been praying for a real time one , so thank you.
I'm so so glad to hear that! Makes it feel worth the effort of doing the recording and voiceover haha! So I appreciate you letting me know! I just made another tutorial too btw :)
Beautiful work with great descriptions. I’m impressed you mentioned and showed your safety mask. I find not many do and I didn’t realise it was necessary until recently.
Thank you, yes I've tried that size and in order to get the inks to go in the shapes I want it involves even more bending of the page, especially bending it so the centre in curved :)
@@Coyasauce I only use one side but I don’t tilt the paper for the ink to flow back. Usually my paper is flat on the table and I just wait for the ink to come back on it’s own.
Sorry I only saw this now! I would suggest just doing about one layer at a time so you can really control it, so don't cover the entire page but just a horizontal area roughly the size of the layer you want to do
I hope one day to be successful in my alcohol ink experimentations. Videos like yours help a lot. Even if for now I put myself on pause with them and with all my other artistic projects in drawing and painting since I fail with them all... in these troubled times of covid pandemic. All I can do well is making bookmarks since they are small pieces of work and less complicated to do. I will also try to paint on candle containers (not sure it is the exact english word). I discovered this on TH-cam 2 or 3 days ago as it looks fun to do. One day, when the energy is back I will try again bigger pieces of alcohol ink art and then will use this tutorial to its full potential. I saw your work on Instagram and I love it.

You make it look so easy! Is there anything else that I can use other than yupo paper to practice on?
Hi! Yes, you can use pretty much any non porous surface so for example a white tile would work and can be wiped clean and used again and again. :)
@@Coyasauce What about photo paper? I would like to be able to bend it like you do with the yupo but without the cost at first lol
@@SheriPhaffArtPaintBrushed I've never tried it but I hear you can use the back of it. Definitely give it a try! 😀
Your work is always so beautiful and inspiring ! Thank you for sharing this video!
Merci pour cette vidéo.
Very helpfull
Thanks for sharing question would U not do the white bottom??
Wow this was significantly more time consuming than I anticipated. Thank you!
Have fun and thanks for watching :)
What’s the best paper to use?
Yupo paper by Legion is my favourite, and Nara paper is great too!
Can we use 70% IPA?
70% has a higher water content so it doesn't create such nice effects, so I only recommend 99%!
Thank you for sharing the beautiful work, you can see perfectly how laborious it is and the dedication it requires.
I wonder if the brass and gold pinata behave the same... I have the gold and it always ends up in the background of my painting. 😞
I got the gold first and I had the same issue, Brass actually makes a big difference! No idea why but worth the upgrade I think :) ✨
You're a sun. Thanks for the help, I'll tell you...@@Coyasauce 🤗

Going to try again after abandoning months ago- thank you 😊
I love this, it’s beautiful!
O YES! Im gonna try this! Thanks so much for the inspiration 😁
What other paper can you use besides Yupo paper?
Thank you! Your work is outstanding.
The Background music was perfect for this video.
Normally I don't like background music, but this worked.
Ahh I'm so glad you think so! Because sometimes I find background music annoying too :P
This is so informative, thank you so much. Looking forward to more tutorials from you. You have great control over this medium. Thanks 🙂
Please writhe me wich materials...día u say kohol? Ink? & someone more?
ASMR ... (So Soothing to watch and hear).

Thank you Cheryl!
I tried gold n copper but ended up creating just the blob that can't be removed!
Really helpful! I am super excited to see what else you have in store- you explain things in a way that makes the technique easier to understand.
I'm so so glad you think so! Thank you for watching! :)

Thank you Sequoia! It is so very generous of you to share your techniques with us. I can't wait to try this myself - I'm off to my studio right now!
Awesome! I hope it goes well :)
Love that you can use a travel hairdryer. Other people are using expensive airbrushes and I really did not want to spend a lot to get into this. I make greeting cards and alcohol inks would make beautiful ones. Thanks for the tip.
Hi! Absolutely loved this. I gave it a go and it didn't come out how I expected buy I really like the effect it created! X
Boy I could just see fish or scuba divers or reefs in the finished picture. Very very nice!
I love that! Thank you :)
Great video ..thank you .. can this technique be used on top of dry resin and then coated with a final layer of resin ?
Yes that would work! Just make sure to seal it before the second coat of resin :)
Ombré is pronounced “ombray” love your tutorials! Keep up the good work!
Omg lol
Wonderful tutorial...how amazing of you to share this technique.. I'm so thankful
I'm glad you found it useful! :)
Great video, very calming and informative. Will look forward to seeing more from you. Thank you 🌺
Thank you for watching, I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
Loved this video - thanks! ❤
Thanks for sharing. Beautiful!
You're more than welcome 😀
What kind of alcohol should I use for ....??? Please reply
99% isopropyl alcohol! :)

@@Coyasauce it’s Piñata
big would fit you👍
Hi, What is water name? I'can hear well😂😂
No water, just 99% isopropyl alcohol :)
Do you have any tips to photograph gold inks?
Yes!

🤩🤩🤩 gorgeous! I've been looking for a video this for a LONG time! It's exactly what I needed to improve my work! Thank you!
Very helpful.
Great video! LOVE THE MUSIC! It goes together.
I'm inspired! Love the use of gold/brass with the blue. It could enhance anything. Thanks
I am beginner to make alcohol ink painting. May I ask the hair dryer in warm mode or cool mode ?
It's normally on warm but this would also depend on the temperature of the room you're in. If it's already a warm and dry day, cold might work!
@@Coyasauce thank you so much~
❤❤❤
Great tutorial!
Thank you
can you please let me know what are the inks you used .
This is beautiful! Thank you for showing this in real time. It really helps to see how it’s done and that you need to take your time as née layers are created.
Glad it was helpful! :)
Thanks for sharing. Great technique 👏👏👏👍
Great tutorial….we need more of your great techniques. Thanks a lot for putting this up

Haha yeah practice makes all the difference! It took me a while to figure it out myself :) Enjoy
Beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much. Superb technique!
Love this technique.. you make it look so easy .. when I do it all the liquid falls off the yupo... I am going to give it another try.. is your hairdryer on cool or hot please? thanks for a great tutorial
I hope you find it a bit easier! I use warm heat :) Just uploaded a new tutorial for a technique that doesn't use a hairdryer!
Absolutely stunning...great work, can't believe what you get with only 3 items. I am wanting to try this. 🌿🌺🌿
You should give it a go! :)
Thank you so very much, I have been trying to get this technique forever and all the videos are too quick....I have been praying for a real time one , so thank you.

best tute on using alcohol inks with gold lines I have ever watched! Thank you
Wow thank you so much!
Fantastic tutorial. Best video of water effects. Thank you ever so much.
Wow, thanks! So kind!
Such a great tutorial. Thanks for sharing 😊 Have you tried this technique at a4 size? Or is it too hard to control the ink over a larger surface?
Thank you, yes I've tried that size and in order to get the inks to go in the shapes I want it involves even more bending of the page, especially bending it so the centre in curved :)
Thanks for sharing the technique....your work is amazing!!!
You're welcome! I just made another tutorial too btw :)
I love all your work! They are such a great inspiration... Could you a tutorial about resin on alcohol ink?
Thank you so much! I'm not an expert on that subject so wouldn't feel ready to teach it yet! :)
Beautiful! I can't wait to give this a try myself. TFS!!
You're more than welcome! :)
Beautiful and relaxing with the music you played!
I'm really glad you think so!
I use this small size a lot. I like how you do this. Very inspiring. 🌼🌺
It's great to practice on a small size! :) I just made another tutorial too btw :)
Maravilloso!!!!👌🙏😊
So glad you pointed out that a respirator is essential. Love the video btw 😊
Thank you!! 😊
It is so interesting to see how we use different techniques to create these lines! I love your videos and your Instagram as well 😊
Haha omg that makes me curious of how you do it! Do you use the air source on both sides as opposed to one side only?
@@Coyasauce I only use one side but I don’t tilt the paper for the ink to flow back. Usually my paper is flat on the table and I just wait for the ink to come back on it’s own.
I love this effect. Thank you for sharing.
You are so welcome!
Love this
Stunning .. thanks for a great video.. :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
What an amazing tutorial! Thank you so much, I can’t wait to try it!
You're more than welcome! I hope it works out well for you :) I just made another tutorial too btw :)
this is so nice, what kind of paper do you use?
Sorry I just saw this! I use Yupo paper in this video, but I also use Nara like in my second tutorial :)
Fantastic video. Can’t wait to see more.
Thank you so much! I actually just made another tutorial :)
Any advice on how to do this technique on large canvas? 💜
Oh I’d love to see some big pieces. I have some A3 and don’t know where to start
Sorry I only saw this now! I would suggest just doing about one layer at a time so you can really control it, so don't cover the entire page but just a horizontal area roughly the size of the layer you want to do
