Spirit can be used for plenty of things, most notably, a Friday night that ends up as a Saturday morning filled with headaches, regrets but tons of memories to remember. But alcohol has other uses besides temporarily picking up the spirit such as being used as a cleaning agent and medicine. But one of liquids lesser known uses is as Alcohol Ink on Canvas.
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.
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.
Whether this product is brought or made there are a few things that need to be kept in mind and adhered to in order for the best user experience possible, the first is to ensure that the work space in which the ink will be utilized is prepared properly for the unfortunate but possible spill. A flick of a brush that s too strong or knocking over the paint entirely can result in a long and messy clean-up operation that could have easily been avoided.
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.
The other option, not as simple but still as effective. This is because the alternative involves making your own alcohol ink from scratch. There are plenty of tutorial videos to follow and use available on Youtube, as well as some websites that give detailed step by step instructions.
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.
