Thank you for all the tips and techniques, I’m just starting to get into alcohol inks. They were my mom’s and she made jewelry with them. She’s not here anymore so I feel like I can remember her when I use them and try to create something beautiful like she did. Thank you so much!! I’ve learned a lot!!
Verbally walking us through your thought process, calm voice, layered examples, your comfort with ambiguity and reminders that this is practice... all come together for a great tutorial. Thanks! I'd like to see examples of how to create galaxies w/stars✨
A great video for anyone who works with alcohol ink. It makes me less afraid to move the ink and alcohol around. You are a wonderful artist and a great teacher. I’m getting back into alcohol ink painting and am inspired by you to experiment more. Keep making videos for us to enjoy.
I guess I should just be patient I’ve been doing alcohol inks only for four months I started on tiles now I’m working my way up to the back of photo paper for practicing I watch your videos over and over and over again you have the best videos that teach people that I found so far please keep posting videos
Have only recently stumbled on alcohol ink art and what fun it must be to work in this medium. You’ve been the best and most comprehensive artist/teacher I’ve come across thus far. Thanks for sharing your art and process.
Thank you, thank you for generously sharing your techniques with others! I've searched in vain for a true tutorial on alcohol inks, and most videos are a few seconds long (at warp speed), and it's impossible to see what the artist is doing. Not only is your video detailed, but it's relaxing and encouraging. I can't wait to start practicing! Much appreciated 🤗
I did my very first alcohol ink painting today and just naturally piked up the brush to adjust parts that I wasn't happy with. It's like it is never truly finished. Lots of fun learning. Thank you so much for the demonstration 👏👏
I got into art in the 80-90s and loved mixed medias/abstract/handmade paper. With abstract there really is no right or wrong and everyone sees something different. Then I got divorced…. And am just now getting back to art. I love the resin work, acrylic pours, etc. but just haven’t started any of if. All the supplies are expensive (for me), but watching your videos, shows that I wouldn’t need a lot to start out, since I would need a lot of practice/experimenting first. Thank you for showing us how you get all these different effects… My creative juices are flowing again and I’m ready to “play”!!! lol
I am new to this and so far your posts have been my favourites. No music, commentary only on what your're doing and SO informative. Really really helpful. Thank you.
You're very welcome and thank you. I try to have both the ones with music have a meditative relaxing aspect while the tutorials allow for you to understand my thought process.
You have an amazing teaching talent. TYSM! I just bought my 1st inks after 15 years of doing watercolor, acrylic, pigment, and die inks. I decided it's time to learn something new 😊 After watching this, I feel better prepared to start and have fun.
I’m an old hairdresser as well. There’s also a diffuser called a “hot sock”. You put it over the nozzle of dryer and it blocks the intensity of the air. Not sure if they even make them anymore but they are made out of some kind of scrubby sponge material. Best part it weighs absolutely nothing. Which is wonderful!
THIS VIDEO SHOWED ME TO LEARN TO BE MORE PATIENT TO PRACTICE MORE. I STARTED OUT YEARS AGO AND LOST MY INTEREST. BUT NOW THERE ARE SO MUCH GORGEOUS ALCOHOL INK ARTISTS ON TH-cam, I WILL PICK IT UP AGAIN. THANKS FOR THIS AWESOME VIDEO AND THIS PAINTING TURNED OUT REALLY NICE.
I'm just starting out with this medium, and I've seen a lot of alcohol ink artists use 99% alcohol rather than 91%... was wanting your take on how much a difference it makes....beautiful work btw....
Thank you for the time and attention you gave to this tutorial. I feel much more confident now about going ahead and giving it a try. Again, thank you.❤
Thank you so much for your time, really appreciated. Only just started and you've actually given me more confidence. Been a bit scared I think to add as much alcohol? Honestly loved what you have produced, I shall seek out more of your videos. When I was young and said I loved Picasso, people used to think I was mad! Always like abstract art. Thanks again, you're great!
I’m on day two of binging alcohol ink videos and have learned so much from your video. I absolutely love the attitude of it is just practice just keep going and try it.
This is by far the most thorough tutorial I’ve come across. The one or two color suggestion for starters is so valuable as most people would go with as many or even buying a set thinking the more colors, more options. I know I’m guilty of this 😖. Poster papers and photo papers are also an awesome cheaper alternative to Yupo for practice. Great for people who are on a budget but still want to pursue this hobby. Lastly, I actually love the gold accent. It brings out the design even more. Awesome work. Thanks for sharing. New sub here!
I have been wanting to try alcohol ink for the longest time but every time a did I got it wrong and gave up. This is by far the best tutorial... I am definitely ready to give it a go again.
I’ve just ordered and now waiting for my alcohol inks to be delivered. So I’m bing watching so many tutorials. So pleased to have found you. Will be watching more of yours. So very helpful, your techniques are fabulous. So many times whilst watching I was amazed as I went from loving your composition to thinking you’d gone too far and messed it up. You are amazing. Can’t wait to get started. 😊
Thank you so much for all these tips and tricks! I am a watercolourist and this reminds me so much of negative painting the way you use your blower thingy and brush! You’ve convinced me to try!💗🇨🇦
I have been dirty pour painting and recently using resin and alcohol ink. I however couldn’t find 99% alcohol so I used 70%. I am learning to move the paint, today was the first for using the brush. I enjoy that technique. Thank you for your videos, I really enjoy learning from you.
Thank you for the detailed video tutorial. I am just learning to use alcohol inks and what they do. Your very helpful. Thank you. I will be watching your tutorial all the time. 🎉
I am not an artist and I haven’t any artistic ability. My 2 granddaughters, 8 & 10, love making art. I’ll have them for a couple weeks and I need to have some projects planned. I like your tutorial. I also like that you keep it fairly simple to understand. Also only using 2-3 color is a good suggestion. I hope it’s something they’ll enjoy. Thank you!
This is really helpful, thank you for sharing your process. It's so nice to see artists sharing their expertise. I'm just starting out with alcohol inks and my biggest battle at the moment is trying to create pieces that don't look overworked. You see some peoples work which looks like the ink has just found its own beautiful form with very little intervention, and even though I know that probably isn't the case it can be frustrating trying to achieve that effect!
Beauteous, I’m new to alcohol inks, so far, I just watched Videos but I love any tips and tricks that you can share. I have subscribed , so I can watch more before I practice. Thank you for sharing.
Love your instructions, encouragement, and tips. I am not a born artist but am trying really hard to get better. Often I feel that anything I do is not worth the paper its on. Your encouragement helps me to keep trying. Thank you!
Great video! As a beginner I had planned on 2 to 3 colors... but was glad you verified that was a good idea. I also liked that you kept reminding us that this was a practice and don't get tensed up. I have been doing artwork for years... and still can tense up. Love the free flowing look of alcohol art and am anxious to give it a try.
Thank you SO much for making the fear go away. I've been procrastinating starting with this medium because of all the utterly gorgeous things done by other artists, the problem being that while of course I want to be as good as they are, I simply am not trying to do what they are doing.. Your calm voice and generous heart have given me courage to actually begin. Thank you!
I enjoyed this video very much and learned several things. I hope there will be more videos like this in the future! Thanks so much for sharing your talents, techniques and knowledge!!
I enjoyed your demonstration. I’m just discovering inks and had no idea you could do what you just did with them. I’ve drawn since I was a kid and dabbled in watercolor. Just last year I started serious practice at watercolor. I picked up a couple bottles of ink to incorporate into my watercolor…but there’s so much more. Looking forward to learning more. Thank you!
Thanks for all the tips and inspiration. I did my first practice today before I found your channel. Your tutorial has been really helpful and I'm looking forward to getting a lot more practice in using your techniques!
I just started using alcohol inks and this video is excellent for a beginner. I especially like your encouragement and info shared on voice and intent. Also, alternative material to Yupo . Great video. Thank you.
Thank you Joyce, I can't wait to see what you make. Excited to see your progress. If you are on facebook you can share you're work with me look for a group called "Askari Art Critique"
Amazing tutorial. I just started learning to work with ink. Watched tons of videos,this is by far the best !!!! Thanks for sharing your talent and knowledge.
Thank you for sharing your skills! I learned so much just from this one video! I usually work with acrylics only, but am looking at venturing into ink.
THANK you for telling us about the plastic poster board. I bought alcohol inks & I was practicing on tiles - disaster. I also didn’t want to buy the very expensive papers most people on here suggest. Maybe if I get better at this …..
Wow! Super teacher - just beautiful:) Your best advice for newbies is look at it as a 'practice.' Thanks for being attentive to your comments. It matters that you care that much. Subscriber from NW FL.
This video was very helpful thank you. My 5 yr old grandson said i have to make him a birthday card so I’ve decided to try an INK painting. Never done one before so 🤞. Thank you for keeping it simple.🏴
I am a painter first but a few years ago I saw and loved some alcohol ink art. I have all of the stuff but I didn’t have your video until now. I was awful and I have been wanting to use what I have and make something I loved. Another perfectionist here and it helped knowing it doesn’t have to be and I can fix what I don’t love. It also helped knowing all of the things I did wrong and how to correct them or try or practice until it starts to be how I want it. I have subbed and now I will just watch a couple more of your video’s because I want to know how to do this on a canvas. Thank you.
Thank you so much for all the beautiful and inspiring paintings! I appreciate so much you showing all the different ways you move the ink and add the details.
Very informative video, I will definitely try this technique. I love the witch’s face on the right hand side. Her big nose! You should state use these inks in well ventilated air.
I've been looking at different forms of painting, trying to decide what I may want to learn and start. This is the first time I've seen Alcohol Ink Painting. This is WONDERFUL!!! I love the outcome, and I feel it's something I can do. Thank you so much!
Your teaching method is superb! You have a pleasing calming voice, stellar techniques, and you are easy to understand. I can't wait to get started - waiting for my Amazon order, thanks to your suggestions. I'll keep watching your videos, if you keep making them. Thank you for sharing all that you know.
wow.....this is the first of your videos I've seen and I have watched quite a few for beginners but this has got to be the best, I have only had a little play with inks and am amazed how the different ways of using the inks and air at all the different effects, so much to learn...........I'm itching for more so have subscribed to your channel exciting times ahead...........love the brushing too.
+mewdar thank you so much for the kind comment and subscribing. You can get some really nice effects with the brush. good luck can't wait to see what you make.
@@AskariArt I will eventually on you Facebook page but it wont be for a while as I have my regular arm out of action for about 3 months due to just having an operation 4 days ago.
Hi, this is Dolores. New to the craft and binge watching tutorials for guidance. I have a Ranger blower that I am having difficulty directing, don't know if the bulb will soften with use but I am far from directing the ink in the manner I want. You seem to use a downward approach and from other videos I watched the angle seemed to be almost parallel with the surface. What angle gives the most control.
Great use of a brush , finally an artist shows how to actually use an artistic versus crafty approach. I personally use brushes and only the blow dryer when mixing the alcohol or blender solutions into the inks. Any tips to how to seal the finished painting? I'm still having a little trouble sealing the finished product . Can it be placed under matting and glass framed without sealing.
Hi Graham, Thank you so much! Yeah I'm more about using the brush to move the ink the way I like it not leaving it to chance, It's more of an intent of the artist's perspective when painting. Here's a video that shows how to seal a painting after I've completed it. This approach would work on paper or canvas. The video is showing how I do it on Canvas but it's the same process th-cam.com/video/dZXhwfeqptc/w-d-xo.html I think you could put it under matting or glass as long as the glass is UV. The problem is sunlight and UV. That is what fades some of the alcohol in colors not all colors. I do have some demo pieces that my wife framed that sit in a bathroom that were never sealed or under uv glass protection and it was painted 4 years ago. it just depends on where it's hung

I agree, this video offers a whole new level of learning for me. many thanks, I am now a subscriber.

+Alison Williams yea that's always hard. I had a video about knowing when to call it done. it's always preference

Thank you Ann. Appreciate the kind comment
I am inspired by your calmness and encouragement. I've been doing this for a year or so and am still learning. I just ordered a Giotto Rocket!
Your tutorial was very helpful. I appreciated your comments about it being practice and not be afraid of trying new techniques. Thanks.
I'm just starting out with this medium, and I've seen a lot of alcohol ink artists use 99% alcohol rather than 91%... was wanting your take on how much a difference it makes....beautiful work btw....
I got a big bench and it my practice place. I remove everything with acetone and I begin again. Love your work ❤
Thank you so much for taking the time to help those of us who are new to alcohol inks. This is a wonderful tutorial.
Thank you for the time and attention you gave to this tutorial. I feel much more confident now about going ahead and giving it a try. Again, thank you.❤
Was great spending time with you on this
Quelle beauté 😮
Et ce fabuleux travail des détails, c'est juste magnifique!
Bravo et merci pour cette poésie visuelle.

Thank you for taking so much time to try to cover every situation and how to come up with solutions to make it the way you like!!!
You are very welcome 😁
This is an awesome demo for a beginner like me.
Thank you 😊
Thank you 🙏🏼
This is very helpful. It helps to hear you say it is OK and good to explore and experiment. It is very freeing!
My being a brush using person, I'm super excited to find out I can use one with this.
Love all the new techniques…using the brush really inspired me…thank you
This is by far the most thorough tutorial I’ve come across. The one or two color suggestion for starters is so valuable as most people would go with as many or even buying a set thinking the more colors, more options. I know I’m guilty of this 😖.

Do you name each different object.Or start of a painting and let it do its thing.
I have been wanting to try alcohol ink for the longest time but every time a did I got it wrong and gave up. This is by far the best tutorial... I am definitely ready to give it a go again.
You are too kind, Lezanne Bianchina. Let me know if there are any videos that you'd like to see on this topic.
I’ve just ordered and now waiting for my alcohol inks to be delivered. So I’m bing watching so many tutorials. So pleased to have found you. Will be watching more of yours.

Thank you so much for all these tips and tricks! I am a watercolourist and this reminds me so much of negative painting the way you use your blower thingy and brush! You’ve convinced me to try!💗🇨🇦
You're very welcome! I can't remember what negative painting is, I may need to look that up.
I have been dirty pour painting and recently using resin and alcohol ink. I however couldn’t find 99% alcohol so I used 70%. I am learning to move the paint, today was the first for using the brush. I enjoy that technique. Thank you for your videos, I really enjoy learning from you.
70% may not give you the results because of the water content. Let me know how it turned out very curious
Thank you for the detailed video tutorial. I am just learning to use alcohol inks and what they do. Your very helpful. Thank you. I will be watching your tutorial all the time. 🎉

Thank you! I will try it! I love it! I love your way, how you explain all!
You are welcome 😁
A demo every three days would be awesome! Love your tutorials and your art.
I will try my best to do a demo every 3 days. It's really tough with a family and work. But I'll do my best.
Very informative video, I will definitely try this technique. I love the witch’s face on the right hand side. Her big nose! You should state use these inks in well ventilated air.
You are so welcome! I have a safety video for alcohol inks in my video lists.

wow.....this is the first of your videos I've seen and I have watched quite a few for beginners but this has got to be the best, I have only had a little play with inks and am amazed how the different ways of using the inks and air at all the different effects, so much to learn...........I'm itching for more so have subscribed to your channel exciting times ahead...........love the brushing too.
+mewdar thank you so much for the kind comment and subscribing. You can get some really nice effects with the brush. good luck can't wait to see what you make.
@@AskariArt I will eventually on you Facebook page but it wont be for a while as I have my regular arm out of action for about 3 months due to just having an operation 4 days ago.
@@mewdar not a problem hope you get better just watch and absorb as much as you can.
Thank you so much! Love your banter as you paint 🎨 😊
Thanks so much 😊
Hi, this is Dolores. New to the craft and binge watching tutorials for guidance. I have a Ranger blower that I am having difficulty directing, don't know if the bulb will soften with use but I am far from directing the ink in the manner I want. You seem to use a downward approach and from other videos I watched the angle seemed to be almost parallel with the surface. What angle gives the most control.
Thank you very much for this demonstration and all the information given. This helped me a lot. I like your videos.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you!
Great use of a brush , finally an artist shows how to actually use an artistic versus crafty approach. I personally use brushes and only the blow dryer when mixing the alcohol or blender solutions into the inks. Any tips to how to seal the finished painting? I'm still having a little trouble sealing the finished product . Can it be placed under matting and glass framed without sealing.
Hi Graham, Thank you so much! Yeah I'm more about using the brush to move the ink the way I like it not leaving it to chance, It's more of an intent of the artist's perspective when painting. Here's a video that shows how to seal a painting after I've completed it. This approach would work on paper or canvas. The video is showing how I do it on Canvas but it's the same process th-cam.com/video/dZXhwfeqptc/w-d-xo.html I think you could put it under matting or glass as long as the glass is UV. The problem is sunlight and UV. That is what fades some of the alcohol in colors not all colors. I do have some demo pieces that my wife framed that sit in a bathroom that were never sealed or under uv glass protection and it was painted 4 years ago. it just depends on where it's hung
This is so beautiful!! Apple should hire you to make backgrounds and wallpaper for their phones!!
That would be soo cool, if Apple did that.
Thank you for sharing your videos, they have been very helpful to me.

+Fran LaRose Schindler You are too kind, Fran LaRose Schindler. Let me know if there are any videos that you'd like to see on this topic.
The beautiful thing about alcohol ink (IMO) there is no right or wrong way to create with it. I like how you're applying it.
Thank you so much
