Thank you so much for being a supporter and promoter of safety with alcohol inks! So needed!
Thank you! So many people are just so unaware (even I was oblivious when i started out). I can't help but cringe when i see people unmasked or using straws
THANK YOU for putting so much emphasis on the safety and importance of using a mask. I also tell people to be sure to use nitrile gloves to help minimize exposure through absorption through the skin.
Great tutorial on how to move ink with different tools!
I know how ill I have made myself when I was none the wiser in my beginner days! It's an incredibly awful feeling, and one that is definitely not worth ignoring! There are still people that don't take it as seriously as I think they should, but all it takes is a quick google search to know the vapours are harmful ❤️
Omg! Thank you! I live in Florida, so soo humid. I thought it was just me!
It can be a bit of a bugger when you have a specific task! 😅
Thank you for this instructional video on using different air tools with alcohol ink! I have lung issues as it is and I appreciate your emphasis on safety precautions! Again thank you!
You're welcome! Definitely want safety to be something people consider! ❤
Hi Bree -- I just love your tutorials and definitely looking to more of your videos. The way you control your ink is very inspiring! Your explanations of your techniques are extremely clear and very helpful. I can't wait to see more full tutorials that show more composition techniques. Hope it's soon!
Thanks for that, Margaret! What a wonderful compliment you've left for me 😄
OMG you have sheep:!!?!? cute !! Thanks for showing this , so helpful
I do! 😄 adopted 4 randoms that were abandoned in the property next to ours ❤❤
Thank you for the valuable information about the harmful vapours being inhaled.
U r f’ing amazing Bree! The one with the airbrush is GORGEOUS 🤩

Thank you so much for this tutorial on different tools to use....i just got my alcohol inks and cant wait to give it a go💕
Hooray! I hope you love them!
I’m new to inks so your video is especially helpful. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful! Hoping I can continue sharing useful info for everyone ❤❤
Loved this, can't wait to try my new inks. But will wait until my respirator arrives. Thanks Bree!
Yay, enjoy! ❤
Thank you Bree. Your art is lovely!

I really enjoyed your video. Thank you. 🥰
Thank you so much, I appreciate you saying so 🥰
Thank you Bree, it was very helpful!
Thanks Patti! Glad you found it useful 🥰🥰
Hi Bree! I just learned about you through Shelee.
There is no need for apologies, I was pretty engaged with your lessons.
I really really want to dive in and learn a ton about Alcohol ink art, sooooo I'll be back! I'm subscribed and the bell is set to on!
Love your work
And thank you for what you do!!
Jennifer from Colorado USA
Love that, thanks, Jennifer! It's always so lovely to hear I've helped or encouraged people in some way! 🥰
Very beautiful! 😍 3. questions: 1. do you use alcohol or blending solution with your inks? 2. do you dilute your piñata brass in alcohol if so in approximately what proportions, or you use it straight? 3. You mentioned non-staining paper, is it Nara of graphic paper, what would your recommend? I hate Yupo because it stains right away…
Thank you! I don't use blending solution very much at all. If I'm working on ceramic dishes, I might use a little then. Otherwise, it's still just isopropyl.
Yes, I do dilute my brass. I have a small needle tipped bottle that i use, so it's always ready to go. I am terrible with amounts, but my guesstimate would be about a quarter to a third of brass, and the rest isopropyl (mine is 100%).
I think the grafix paper is lovely to use- if i was only allowed to pick one, I'd probably choose that. They really do all have their place, however.
Some inks break out beautifully into multiple colours better on yupo than grafix (the joys of dye). But I also love the convenience of the nara rounds. I get annoyed having to cut it up myself 🤭 But I'm also limited to the size I can get in the grafix paper, so I bounce between all 3. 😄
Please can you show us a huge art like one humongous rose with gold streaks and also by using a hair dryer. What kind of board or paper should we use
I use a variety of substrates, but Nara is great because it doesn't stain like yupo does. Maybe I'll do a large flower one day, when inspiration hits! 💖
Great video, just getting some supplies together, so I will follow your channel closely.
I suppose living in Broome and just starting the wetseason might not be the best time, but I am to impatient to wait until next year 😅🤣
Oh no, the humidity, the humidity!! 😂 My best advice is to just let it happen 🤭 Thanks for visiting my channel! X
Thank you so much.
Thanks for watching, Sandi!
Great video, thank you! I don’t ink often or for long periods of time but I don’t have a respirator. I do wear a good quality face mask though. Will that be providing some protection do you think?
Thank you! Your mask needs to be for VOC's. A particulate mask is not going to be adequate, as it filters vapours differently to particles
Can I ask what sort of compressor you have? I have read about some that do air on demand so the compressor only fires up when you push the button and turns off as soon as you let off the button, which would be good!
I bought my set up from ebay, and the brand is called voilamart. There are some different ones out there, so see what suits your budget 😄
Very interesting, how important are brand name inks verses what they sell on Amazon?
I'm so sorry but i can't answer that one- the brands i mostly stick with are copic, ranger, and pinata. I haven't purchased any of the amazon options x
Hello!
I've been watching a lot of these videos b/c I want to get into alcohol ink painting.
I havent seen anything that says anything about using an Electric Air Duster? There's no heat with that tool, or do we need the heat for alcohol inks?
Great question! No, heat isn't imperative; cold air is perfectly fine too, it'll just take longer for the alcohols to evaporate 💖
Thanks for this. I'm intimidated by my air brush also as it is still in the box months later! I'm going to open it up today! Also, what do you finish your pieces with?
I love that I've inspired you to try it! How'd you go?
I use 3 light coats of krylon kamar and then 2 to 3 coats of their UV archival spray 💖
I am super interested in Learning these techniques with alcohol eaks. However I am stuck at what I actually need to start the basics. Any pointers from you would be awesome. I don't want to waste money on not so great products, and I've tons of question.
You can start with just a small handful of items! Ranger inks by Tim Holtz are a good start- and they sell 3-packs of inks, as well as individual bottles.
You will need isopropyl alcohol- anything above 90%. In Australia, I can get 100% isopropyl alcohol, so that is what I prefer to use, but sometimes other places can't get it that high.
You will need a surface to work on- Glazed ceramic tiles are good because you can wipe them entirely clean if you want to start over, and they're reasonably cheap. Yupo and Nara are synthetic papers designed for alcohol inks- but they are more expensive, and yupo does not wipe clean, so you might not want to start with yupo. Nara is a better option for being able to clean the page back to white.
The air tools in this video will all work, i recommend you start with the air bulbs and a hairdryer (with low power). The synthetic papers can melt and warp if you use something with too much heat.
You will also benefit from having things like paper towels, cotton tips and small cups (to mix the ink and isopropyl alcohol together), and pipettes/eye droppers. (This is handy for beginners because the inks work best with the isopropyl, and pre-diluting them in a cup or needle-tipped bottles makes them easier to handle). The inks are very saturated (depending on the colour), and the dilution with isopropyl is what helps them become beautiful.
Please consider your safety as well- a respirator is also included in my recommended must-have items 😄
@CoolBreezeArtStudio Thank you for such a detailed response. I appreciate it! Sometimes, there is so much information, and being new to it, I get overwhelmed.
@CoolBreezeArtStudio Thanks to my fluid art obsession, I have a lot of small cups, pipettes, and I finally found alcohol that is 99%. I have a small hair dryer and a heat gun that's good for embossing. The rest I have to get but thank you, now I have a good list.
Hello! Are you able to help, is that the clear alcohol that you put down first? I've seen other techniques with it being droppered on to spread it, but not this way around and wanted to check!
Approximately how long do the filters of the masks last? I’m wondering how soon I’ll need to have replacements ready to go.
This will depend on your level of usage and storage, but please always refer to your mask's manufacturer guidelines 😊
What paper are you using? I am struggling to find one that doesn’t stain…
In this video, i used Grafix paper. I got it from amazon. It's probably the best at minimal staining. Copic ink in black has stained all my papers, so they aren't 100% flawless, but it's the best so far 👌
Have you ever tried Mighty boards for alcohol inks?
I haven't! I will go look them up 😊
What is the name of the gold
Ohh i always forget to say these thing, sorry! It's brass, by Piñata ❤
what is the name of the tiny air blower?
The small handheld one? It's called an air bulb 😊
is Yupo the only substrate you use?
Hi Marilyn, no it isn't. I use Yupo, Nara and Grafix as my main synthetic papers, i also like to ink on ceramic/porcelain too. If you're wanting to explore, just remember anything that is non-porous is good game!
