I'm sorry but I really have to disagree with this false advertising of blending solution. I've had great success with using regular isopropyl alcohol to blend ink and in your example you weren't actually moving the inks around with a dryer or air gun or straw etc... you just threw on some isopropyl alcohol and yes it will look like it's bleaching the inks but you need to work the alcohols and that takes skill and time. Cheers 🎨
What about pearls? What's your experience with them and iso?
All the videos I have watched, done by experts, use rubbing alcohol. It works beautifully, and they never mention a blending solution at all.
Thanks for tips! It took me awhile to figure out what surfaces do or don’t work. Your tutorial saves much time and resources.On trick i “discovered” though is to take yupo or glossy cardstock and spread on a layer of acrylic gel medium and while still wet add drops of alcohol ink. Then you can take your favorite modeling tools and lightly draw designs in the gel medium and watch the colors swirl around; they may run together and look like mud but somehow when it dries the colors separate and form a textured marbleized effect. I like to then take the sheet and either punch out shapes or run it through the die cut machine to make embellishments for cards.
Yupo paper is fabulous in cutting machines and great to make your own stencils too
The blending solution does actually bleach & remove alcohol ink as well as blend it. The alcohol dilutes it.
Good tips. Photo paper can be used if you put your inks on the back side of the paper and it’s almost identical to using Yupo. Not all photo papers work, but I believe my HP papers did the trick. Also, the best gold ink out there is the Jacquard - Piñata brand - it is very beautiful and shiny and much prettier than the Ranger gold.
Maureen Lee I bought my photo paper at Costco
I have both Jacquard and Ranger and I do prefer the Jacquard but still use both, depending on needed color.
Nancy Lynn There’s a greater palette with the Ranger colors and they’re more translucent than the Jacquard, so those tend to be my go-to colors. For Gold, it’s almost always the Jacquard.
I agree with you. The back of photo paper has worked for me and it's significantly less expensive than yupo
You can use isopropyl for blending... All I used is just 91% and up. For diluting, cleaning, blending. I just put it in a cup and use a brush...
Actually you can use some photo papers - Canon is the one I use but turn it over! Don't use the glossy side. Use the back of the photo paper. Works GREAT!
Lisbet Cox I completely agree with you. The back side of some photo papers, such as HP, work almost identical to Yupo. It’s great to use while learning and practicing alcohol ink techniques and the paper is easy to glue down into projects, because it is paper, not plastic.
I have trouble finding photo paper that doesn’t have the brand name all over the back. Any supplier suggestions?
@@personalestok6693 yes! Go with very specifically, Staples Brand Basic Photo Paper. Red box with a kid in a ball pit on the front. So many photo papers don't work because we use the BACK side and not all are treated the same. This one SPECIFICALLY had a light resin coating on the back that behaves exactly like yupo. I'm an alcohol ink instructor and this is what we use in my course exclusively. No, I'm not affiliated.
I am so very glad I watched this . I didn't know there was a difference with Alcohol and blending solutions
Acetate makes an incredible galaxy sky as well !
Great tips!! Thanks for sharing this info. 😊
Also. Use a glass mat with alcohol inks. It will stain you silicon mat and other services
Some of this I knew, but seeing the difference of alcohol and the solution was helpful. I used alcohol inks and pearls on Core'dinatons Glitter Prints and die cut some feathers. WOW did that ever turn out cool. It's fun to play with the inks and use your dies to get a one of a kind look. Happy Crafting!
Thanks, as an alcohol newbie this is really useful
Just getting into this and seeing the difference in the Alcohol and Blending Solution is GOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the tips on the paper, I tend to try things on any paper and sometimes it is a disaster. I appreciate your video. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you again, Alexandra! This was very informative. I have a few Ranger Alcohol inks and silver, copper and the pearl mixatives! You are right I would have liked to have known these today bits before I started playing with my. Alcohol inks. You’re the best! See you tomorrow! ~ Katz
Thanks for the tips on the use of this ink. I do have some but it's been a while and had forgotten a few things. The pearls are #1 on my to get next list. Stay cool and God Bless!!
Thanks. Have been self taught and I didn't know about those things either. Keep up the good work. Irene
Great tips! I learned the trial and error method!!
Thanks for the updated tips on using alcohol inks. I have used the plain inks years ago on some kind of glossy photo paper with fabulous results. I did a little research then and found out there is a thin smooth coat of clay on some photo paper. Those never turned out well! I do not know what paper the good stuff was. From the looks of Yupo papers results being more confined and don’t appear to spread out beautifully I like the results from Tim holtz’s paper better. Yupo is new on the scene so we used what was available and that was photo paper or clear acetate. Those projects turned out gorgeous when stamped over the top. I would love to see what more can done for backgrounds. Thanks!
I did not know what the difference between blending solution and alcohol was either, so thank you. I would love to see alcohol ink techniques and perhaps other project ideas than cards if you have some. Always enjoy your videos.
Mixatives don't just stay in one spot - even in your demo they spidered out on the Yuko. I use mixatives in the same way that I use alcohol inks for some amazing designs. A great effect is created when you drop a few drops of mixative on your alcohol ink then add a drop of blending solution.
Hi new to your channel! Nice to have a Brit. lol. Very good info. Love your hair!! Have subscribed. Love and hugs from Sussex!! xx👏🏻👏🏻😍💕🐶🐶🐶
Yay! Wish I would have watched this before! :) Now I know! Thanks!
Thankuuu soo much for such a simple yet very clear information.
Thanks for this info! Great video!!
Great video!!!! So helpful!!
The first thing I noticed was how addictive using alcohol inks are. Second, they are very messy to use - especially when you don't wear plastic gloves!
I would like to see different things and ideas for things using the alcohol inks.
I just began working with AI yesterday and thank you sooooo much for the blending solution/alcohol info!!!
Great video! It was good to meet you at Ranger Ink last Fall at Sharen Harris's workshop. (this is Laurie Williams).
Totally love your style🥰 btw where did you get your custom Apron love it
Thank you ...these are great tips for me as a newbie.
So helpful! Thank you!
Great review. Thanks.
I did a test of Yupo paper and photo paper and now only use the photo paper, the non glossy side. I love the results so much I have a hard time turning them into cards as i want to keep them all and I am not an artist. So much more affordable as well. I also use my reinkers for my spectrum noir alcohol markers which have a huge color range and are far less expensive. I feel like I am watching a commercial for ranger here. Pity.
Yeah, the 'look I'm a Ranger product commercial!" vibe is way too strong. I can barely watch most of HH's videos. Doesn't even mention that you can also use poster board, which also behaves very similarly to Yupo but only costs pennies a sheet instead of dollars. Plus it's actual paper so both are less wasteful plastic garbage at the end of its life cycle.
@@katstoybox I liked the posterboard paper. I GREATLY enjoy using glossy cardstock. Alcohol inks are also fun on dura lar. Dura lar makes great stencils from dies.
I bought all of the products in this video except the pearls it was not sponsored in any way by ranger; i believe in the products and will only feature ones i like, i have been sent other alcohol inks for videos and not featured them because i didnt like them
What type of photo paper?
@@llavanill I just purchased the cheapest off of Amazon. Sadly the prices are so much higher now, but still a better value than Yuko paper. Of course Yuko paper is superior, but I just can’t justify the cost. Good luck!
Well, this was enlightening. Thank you! I have been struggling to get good results, as I was trying to use isopropyl alcohol to blend my inks - not successful! Thank you for this video, Alex!
I tryed it on bone .I liked that it soaked in.
Just order some ink today can wait to try everything, will post my results on my channel, thanks for the tips 🙂
Very informative , thanks for sharing
Extremely helpful…thank you so much
Thanks for info. I have a hard time telling how porous different paper is, so I now just use the ones you guys tell me to use! LOL
Thank you
I put it on the back of photo paper and it worked amazing like yupo. I did try another brand and it just soaked right in so I believe it depends on the photo paper used
Brill was getting there but this really helped. Thank you. Could you do the air sprayed flowers etc. LA
Hello! Thanks for your tips! Have you created a large piece of art (20 in x 20 in) using alcohol inks? Do you have any tips on how to make a big piece look really gorgeous?
Thx
U explain alcohol solution and alcohol reaction the best, plain and simple
Helpful. Thank you
I've also found photo papers from thrift stores work well..
You pull off your hair color brilliantly! I'd look ridiculous, but it looks great on you.
Interesting. Thanks so much!
Love the difference between alcohol and blending solution
Do you know how to do the alcohol ink roses?! 😍 love you see a tutorial! ✌🏻👏🏻
great advice now is the extender also alchol to? ty❤
Woo how should i use it on canvas.
Pls do a video on that too
New to this art and learning before I buy anything, so your video was important. Question: do I need to ‘protect’ the finished art with a fixative? (Worried about changing art by spraying a fixative on it.)
Can you do this on a bowing ball? Can it be left outside?
Thanks 😊
Would the large pieces of poster board work? The have a semi gloss finish it seems...
I need a large piece and I'm not finding something large.
If I do alcohol ink on glass for a stain glass project, how do I seal it. If I want to make a candle holder and decorate the glass with alcohol ink, how do I seal it?
Hi, great info, thanks. I have some alcohol inks which are 3 years old and still in their bottles - can I still use them? I have had a go on yupo paper but they are still a bit tacky after several days! My isoprol and blending solution are the same age! I want to get some more but didn't want to waste the old ones if they could be used. Thanks so much
Nara paper doesn’t stain like yupo paper does
What is the best airbrush to use for alcohol ink paint?
i would like to see how to work with alcohol ink and resin on big boards please
Thank you for making and sharing this video,i just subbed to you :) last month i ordered my very first ink sprays-i ordered the set of the first 12 distress oxide inks,i also ordered 4 alohol inks,one was a pack of 3 and one alone and i ordered the 12 alkohol pearls,they just came a week ago,the 3 pack of alohol inks was not there and the seller said that sometimes the custom removed alkohol inks and i belive her,i got a refund even though i did not ask for it. (i ordered from usa and i live in norway). I have not used any of them yet,i need to get some yupo paper for my alcohol pearls-or can i use it onsomething that i mat have? i also need to learn more about it,and i need some blending soloution and i want some gold and copper mixative.... if you got any advice for me that would be great :) I am a beginner,i love everything that is papercraft,from card making to journal making and multi media art :) Big hug from norway :)
Hey so is it ideal to use the blending solution when working with resin??? Im trying to make epoxy keychains using the alcohol ink but when i layer the white seems to go straight to the bottom leaving white spots... how can i fix this?
I have a great tip, thanks to Nichol Sporh. I was disappointed in the metallic mixatives , they just didn’t spread. On one of her videos, Nichol used piñata gold alcohol ink. Big difference. Piñata is the answer
Can you use alcohol inks on a canvas if you put gesso on it first?
Maybe you could show use how to blend the chakras colors without ruining the lighter colors. Thank you for your video!
Great instructor
They work on leather and suede...also
How can I colour plain glass glitters
I actually don't use the Ranger mixatives anymore. I thought they were dull and took away from the beauty of the alcohol inks.
Thanks so much Alexandra, as always, great information!!! You look amazing with bright pinks/fuschsia, I love the hair, lipstick & nail color(s)!!! What are the names of the lipstick & nail polish? Hugs!!!
Not sure ont he lipstick but the nails were OPI Neon
Thank you❤️ great video !!
i have a huge problem with my Ranger alcohol inks .. i have undertones who appear after mix with my 95% alcohol on yupo paper (and canvas). i don’t know why my brown tones became green and little bit of pink it’s so bad and ugly. please can you help me
Do you have to have the blending medium ? Or the isopropyl alcohol ? Can you just use alcohol inks by them selves ?
Just getting started in this. Great info for a newby cause I just watchedanother video that said the alcohols were the same. Clearly not.
ss mam. ur just amazing ...we want mork alcohol ink videos and tips too
Please make a video sharing the color combinations of alcohol inks which won't create muddy colors..
You will only have mud if you are using two complimentary colors together with the blending solution. Green and red, orange and blue, yellow and purple. Having a color wheel helps.
karen richardson Great tip!
Can I mix the watercolour and the alcohol ink . I mean add watercolour layer on top of the , background done with alcohol ink.
Here is my question. I recently did a large painting on a patio door we had replaced on our home. I tried two different alcohol inks in white. But every time no matter what the solution when I mixed the white into the clear glue to apply to the class. The white ink would instead of going milky. It would separate! Never actually creating a nice milk glass of fact. But rather looking like snot. Any advice? Thank you
What's the water content of your glue? That's most likely your problem. Alcohol ink does not play well with water-based products. It's why she's using 91% isopropanol instead of 70%.
Can you please do alcohol ink on shoes like crocs, thank you
Does anyone know why mine hasn’t dried….it’s been a month…in the U.K! Only alcohol inks and blending solution with a touch of the I. alcohol? It’s put me off doing any more! They’re not soaking wet but touch them with your finger and you get colour on your finger!! Help!
Question: I noticed that the color rubs off the yupo and graphix surface once dry. Am I doing something wrong, or does it need to be sealed. Another thing I wish I knew.... :)
It needs to be sealed with Krylar varnish spray and then Krylar UV protection spray
Then what do you do with these ?
Can you use alcohol ink on canvas?
Interesting tips, thank you. I'm loving the subtitles, apparently you are working with alcoholics and using the Copic alcohol markers to make pants! (Presumably for them?) Isn't technology wonderful? I am yet to get to grips with alcohol, I'm still at the "why did that go all over the place?" stage, but I will get there.
I am glad its not going to behave like an alcoholic... subtitles are a little bit off.. thanks for the explanation, very usefull😀
Why am I getting a skin on my pinata alcohol inks its never happened with my other inks in resin
❤️❤️❤️
TikkiMom. I found this video very helpful as I am just starting out with alcohol inks. Many of my questions were answered and appreciate the sharing of your knowledge. Now I can’t wait to start experimenting!
You can work imposter board too
sara pardo ...I just recently saw a TH-cam video about that. Have you tried it yet?
I've never used alcohol inks before
Hi dear why we can’t work on canvas?
The alcohol will be absorbed by the canvas, whereas with yupo paper the alcohol spreads out. It sits on top of the paper.
You can, you just have to seal it first with a spray sealant.
E, please get me posca pencil for masking alcohal inks in India
Love your hair
The
So what is the deal. Some people don't wear a mask or respirator while others say it's completely foolish not to wear one. Which is it? And your space doesn't look ventilated. I don't hear any fans or anything like that. Shouldn't you be promoting ventilation at the least?
Can you use alcohol inks on plastic? Like plastic vases, or plastic glassware?
Yes
