Alcohol Ink On Canvas And Some Precautions

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 entire ethos of working with such a medium in the first place can be attributed to one thing. Experimentation. The use of alcohol inks is ideal for those people who want to try new things, whether or not they re any good or not. All in the name of, that s right, experimentation.

Making use of the dye is very easy and is as simple as spreading a few drops on an applicable surface and spreading them around until they dry. This can be done repeatedly with other colors as well or, an initiative can be sought out to make fancy designs to fill the surface that happens to be worked on, be it metal, plastic or paper.

If the second option sounds better than the first that there s some good news. It s possible and doable to make your very own alcoholic ink solution to paint with. All that s needed is a couple of sharpies, rubbing alcohol, a glass jar some scissors, tweezers and something to work on.

It s also not only a great idea but wise a wise one to wear protective gear around your hands. Unless there s a strong prevailing attitude that it will ruin what is being created and your content with paint around your fingernails for the next 2 to 3 days. Not a train smash if you stay at home, different ball game when in a corporate venue on a Monday morning.

Another own related to the work area is keeping the area in which the inks will be based in. Prolonged exposure to the alcohol can mean bad news as it pollutes the air with toxic chemicals which, in the right conditions, mean respiratory problems like asthma and emphysema.

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.

As for the techniques and technicalities that come with painting, they all still apply as the only thing that s changed is the medium in which that paintbrush lands. So you shouldn t forget to rinse off the paintbrush if more than one color is being used in order to avoid making a mess of the colors and that one should paint using the whole entirety of the brush rather than 2 or 3 bristles that make it up. All of which should serve you well in painting with alcohol ink and making psychedelic like artwork.
