This tutorial shows you how to paint with alcohol inks on watercolor paper, with explanations of how it is different to yupo paper etc. Normally people don't recommend using a porous substrate, but this video will show you my technique.

If high humidity is making it difficult to work with your alcohol inks, try painting on watercolour paper!

Some examples of work on watercolour paper:

  • This is EXACTLY the tutorial I’ve been looking for - I just hope mine turns out anywhere NEAR as gorgeous as yours. Thank you for the upload!
  • @timeenuf4200
    So beautiful. I have always been told you needed special papers and you do to get the standard alcohol ink effects. This method shares many of the qualities of using alcohol inks without the hard lines. So soft. So pretty. Thank you for opening my eyes and mind.

    I live in an extremely humid area, and I'm super excited to try this! I don't want to invest in special paper just for alcohol ink, especially if it won't work as expected here

    I'm new to alcohol inks. Definitely going to try this soon! I've been wanting to do flow painting and this looks like it's v fund and easy. Thanks for the video - cheers!

    @Coyasauce I would also REALLY love to see you do a tutorial on ink and watercolor together. It sounds amazing!
  • @EC-lq3qw
    @Coyasauce thank you so much for this, I've just got my first alcohol inks and really didn't know where to start but have learned so much from you and some of the comments. I'm looking forward to playing with these now!
  • Very cool technique. I’m excited to try this when I get home from wintering in FL. Thanks for this video. Have a wonderful day!😊
  • This is exactly what I needed. I just love this. I also am fascinated by the fact that you said I can use my watercolors on it.
  • Can’t wait to try this. Had no idea that I needed to start with isopropyl alcohol! No wonder all my efforts to date look like crap! LOL!
  • I am so glad I found your tutorial. I would definitely like to try on watercolor paper. Thank you.
  • I just came across this video. Thank you! So helpful. And your 'painting' is beautiful.

    Extremely helpful. I bought a lot of art supplies not knowing what the heck I was doing and then I would just sit aside because I was too fearful to use them.. So today April 19, 2022 I decided to take them out and try them and it was a disaster. I forgot the hairdryer method of moving them around and saw the color she’s pretty much stayed a little dots. Thank you so much for taking your time to show us how to do this
