Painting With Alcohol Ink On Canvas

By David Anderson


Painting is one way to showcase the inner expression and feeling towards a particular subject, such as politics and how it is done wrong has dire consequences or even express emotions about said consequences. There are many ways to paint but few are as special as using Alcohol Ink on Canvas to do so.

The inks themselves come in of two states. The first being an already made solution that is ready to use, and can be purchased in most online and arts and craft stores. There are many brands available and some can get rather pricey, so for those who are new to this kind of product, a little research is needed and of course, buying one that meets your budget.

Because of the manner in which the ink is made up, it means that it s suitable to work on a number of different types of materials and textures from glass, gloss paper, metals and even fabrics. Basically anything you throw at it and it will stick.

The internet is a great way to grab inspiration on how things are done using this particular medium of painting. There are also plenty of videos showcasing how it can be used, which is great because it means less time can be spent trying to reinvent the wheel and more time drawing in some creativity.

It all begins with the jar and the spirits. Pour around a quarter or third of the ethanol into the jar, depending on its size. A quick rule of thumb when it comes to the alcohol is that the higher its percentage the better it will be suited for the job.

There are two ways to about said fingernail excuse if the use of this specific product gets the creative motor running. The first option is to make a purchase of inks that are already made and ready to go from any online or art store that happens to stock them. The biggest benefit to this is instant gratification and satisfaction of buying something that can be used then and there.

With those concerns in check, time to pull out the penmanship and start drawing away. In pen/pencil first, as this makes it easier to outline what your drawing. When satisfied, the painting can begin, or for a more abstract look, toss out the pen and let the hand guide the paint on where it wants to go. This will give the painting an overall more abstract look compared to the first method.

This process can be fun and the outcome even better, but there s a large risk and that risk comes in the form of a person suffering from OCD nightmare. So it s important that the necessary measures are taken place to ensure that the working area is well covered from any potential spills that may happen, in the name of art.
