Wonderful video. Great techniques and explanations. Haven't touched my alcohol inks in almost a year and looking forwarded to starting up again after seeing this video! Thank you!
Quick question what medium are you working on? Is that a stretch canvas or is that a tile? I’m sorry I’m not sure what if you’ve already explained it. I apologize.
This is gorgeous work, Madeleine, I love alcohol ink,still not very experienced. Are you using a tile here, that’s what it looks to me? I guess you can use a heat tool on tile much better than on paper(Yupo or others) because that could warp. My problem with the blower, I can’t use it too long it hurts my older hands 😔. So I mostly use a hairdryer,or actually it’s a curling blower without the attachments, you probably seen it, I’ve seen many people using it. The problem is sometimes it blows too hard (even on lower setting). My question is the heating tool is less powerful as far as blowing than the hair dryer, or is it the same? Also I assume it’s warmer than the hair dryer,so the ink and alcohol doesn’t dry too fast? Are you using it on paper too? I’m asking because I wanted to get a heating tool/gun i just don’t know if it’s very similar with the hair dryer than there is no point in buying one. Have you used an air compressor, I heard that’s better than a hair dryer or heat gun for certain thing,like blowing a flower. I don’t know if it’s true. Anyway,again your work is beautiful and you’re a very good teacher, would love 😊
You definitely can! The ink doesn’t take long to dry at all I’d say 5-10 mins depending on how saturated but alcohol dries very quickly. You will however need to seal the alcohol ink background with an acrylic varnish before adding a stencil so the alcohol ink doesn’t reactivate and dissolve. Or you can stencil over with a water based medium like acrylic paint then seal finished piece after. Hope this helps, and thanks for watching!
Hi Ashley, I drip the one color first, then drip the metallic on top and then flood with isopropyl alcohol before blending. Hope this helps! and thanks for watching!
I’ll do both depending on what I’m going for, for most pieces I’ll start with a layer of isopropyl alcohol then add the inks to that to help the fluid to blend and flow better 😃
Hi Madeliene, thanks soooo much! So helpfull! ❤🙏 May I ask what kind of table do you use, if it is a table? Does it look like wood, or is it a synthetic material? Thanks and big hug from Italy! 🌈
Hi Elena! I use a standard art table that you can move up and down like an easel, but since alcohol ink art requires a flat surface it use it flat 100% of the time lol the surface of it is a wood veneer, but I didn’t really like the color of it so I covered it with an adhesive wallpaper with a wood grain pattern I liked then I have a clear acrylic sheet on top of that so the alcohol doesn’t stain the wallpaper. The acrylic sheet is super easy to clean, I just wipe it clean with isopropyl after each piece 😃 thanks for the question and thanks so much for watching! Sending lots of love!
Hi Madeliene! Thanks for the detailed answer! 🙏I really appreciated it because not everyone is willing to share their artistic "secrets". This makes you a TRUE Artist and a beautiful person. Thanks again, I will follow you with great pleasure! Big hug! ❤🤗
Hi! It is! You just need to make sure you prep your canvas to make it non-porous, you’ll need to seek it with an acrylic varnish to make it water proof or else it will just soak up the inks and won’t allow them to flow the same, thanks so much for watching! 🥰😃💕
This is so beautiful. I'm new to fluid art. Can u tell me what inks are these exactly and what are you using it on, I mean what kind of paper or canvas.
Hello! I’m use a few different ink brands Piñata, Ranger inks and Copic inks. In their video I use a ceramic tile to do all the demos b/c they are super easy to clean off and start again on, but if I’m creating a piece i usually use grafix craft plastic, sealed canvas or white board if im going to pour a resin finish on it. I hope this helps and thanks for the questions and for watching 🥰
مساء الخير يا فنان انا احببت كتيرا هدا النوع من السم لكن لم اعرف كيف وعلى اي مادة ترسم هل ترسم على اللوحة العادية اتي نرسم عليها بالالوان الماءية ارحو الاجابة وشكرا
Hi Sherry, in this video I'm using a ceramic tile. If using canvas make sure to seal it with something like liquitex gloss varnish, you want to make sure whatever surface you're using is non-porous so it doesn't soak up the inks. thanks for watching!
Hi Kiran! I responded with a short video 😃 th-cam.com/users/shorts9Ko944GD-8o?feature=share hope that helps! And let me know if you need more info! Thanks for watching 😃
Great techniques. Often, we just see all the random blowing and ink going everywhere. This is much more controlled and helpful if you want to do something with an actual shape. Thank you!
Hi Lu Lu, in this video I’m using white ceramic tile 😃 and no I don’t usually put up any borders I just let the ink flow, thanks so much for watching 🥰
Really great video. I have many issues with this art process, but one thing, please tell me how your gold clumps up as my piñata brass always blends in and never clumps up. How do you get it to do that?
It's the Ranger Ink Alcohol Ink Blower Tool, its basically a lens blower but a bit bigger to push more air. rangerink.com/collections/tim-holtz-alcohol-inks/products/tim-holtz-alcohol-ink-blower
Hi! I purchased the heat tool on Amazon it’s called an Mlife heat gun, I always use the lower heat setting. There’s a link in the description. And the precision tip bottles are filled with 99% isopropyl alcohol. Hope this helps! And thanks for watching
Hi Allie, I found the Jacquard Pinata Inks to be the most economical, you can buy a starter pack for $35CAD and it has a decent range to start with including metallics.

Once all the ink painting is dry can you stencil over the background? And how long does all the ink take to dry on canvas?
You definitely can! The ink doesn’t take long to dry at all I’d say 5-10 mins depending on how saturated but alcohol dries very quickly. You will however need to seal the alcohol ink background with an acrylic varnish before adding a stencil so the alcohol ink doesn’t reactivate and dissolve.

In the “alcohol ink lines” demo, were you just using one color at a time or one color+one metallic at a time?
Hi Ashley, I drip the one color first, then drip the metallic on top and then flood with isopropyl alcohol before blending. Hope this helps! and thanks for watching!
What kind of paper do you use? Very beautiful designs!!!💕😍🥰
In this video I’m using a ceramic tile 😃
Is this made on canvas? Or paper? Thank you!
Ceramic tile (see above).
Im Very interested and will start soon. Do you put inks on a layer, a basis or directly on the paper or canvas?
I’ll do both depending on what I’m going for, for most pieces I’ll start with a layer of isopropyl alcohol then add the inks to that to help the fluid to blend and flow better 😃

I want to use ink on canvas is it the same technique as on paper?

Hello: the first work, why the black ink will appear white after dripping alcohol
Hi Jeanette! The alcohol will naturally displace the colored ink, so it basically erases it from that area, hope this helps! thanks for watching!
Your ripple ones look like rock formations
Hi Joe, Thanks so much for watching!
What drier is that please
is that a reg canvas or a smooth tile?
Hi Sherry, in this video I'm using a ceramic tile. If using canvas make sure to seal it with something like liquitex gloss varnish, you want to make sure whatever surface you're using is non-porous so it doesn't soak up the inks. thanks for watching!
Oh can someone please help me I a newbie in ink art I tried but such a mess
Lots of practice!!! I made LOTS of messes when I first started!!

Hi, lovely video, thanks. For your first tile, what have you put on it before adding the alcohol ink?
I believe it was alcohol.
Hi Hayley! I added 99% Isopropyl Alcohol 😃
Your work is beautiful and inspiring! Thank you. 💐🙏🏽💞
Thank you so much!
Hi! This is cool. Thanks for sharing. What kind of canvas do you use? And do you put up any borders to keep the fluid on the canvas?

What kind of blower are you using my hair dryer is too strong!!
She put a short video ☝️ under one of the comments above yours ❤
What kind of blow dryer are you using?
Hi, I use a mini heat gun purchased from Amazon, the link is in the video description 😃 the brand is Mlife. Thanks for watching 💕
Really great video. I have many issues with this art process, but one thing, please tell me how your gold clumps up as my piñata brass always blends in and never clumps up. How do you get it to do that?
Dilute the metallics 1:10 In Isopropyl and shake really well! 😃
I just couldn’t get lines before. After watching this video, I’m thinking maybe I can now! Beautiful pieces! Thank you so much for sharing!
Thank you so much for watching! And good luck 💕
Please could you tell me if you use to heat gun the same used for shrink plastic? Is possibile to use hot air? ?? Thank you
Yes, it's the same tool -- hot air heat gun.
Super piękne
What is the black blower tool that you are using (for example-in the flower tile)?
It's the Ranger Ink Alcohol Ink Blower Tool, its basically a lens blower but a bit bigger to push more air. rangerink.com/collections/tim-holtz-alcohol-inks/products/tim-holtz-alcohol-ink-blower
What material (the white piece) are you putting the inks on?
Hi Mary, I’m using 4x4 ceramic tiles 😃, thanks for the question, and for watching!
What is the heat tool? And the bottles with the fine tip?

Are these alcohol inks as the same as those that are used with resin?
Yes these can be used with resin, thanks so much for watching 😃
Beautiful..I’ve just subscribed
Thank you so much!!
J’adore ce que vous faites, merci de montrer
🥰🥰🥰
great vid!
Thank you so much 😊
Beginner here. What are best, affordable inks ? Lovely work
Hi Allie, I found the Jacquard Pinata Inks to be the most economical, you can buy a starter pack for $35CAD and it has a decent range to start with including metallics. I use a lot of Ranger and Copic Inks because they have a really great color range, but they are a bit more pricey. Thanks so much for watching!
What kind of heat gun r u using ?
