[72] Alcohol Ink Tutorial - Simple Flowers - Part 1

Published 2021-01-25
Sorry about the length of this one. I struggled quite a bit, but wanted to let you see how to fix some of those issues if you have them yourself. Part 2, where I embellish it a little bit will be posted in a few days. I hope you like them both! I think I forgot to mention in the video, but I used 12 in. x 12 in. Grafix opaque white craft plastic for this one. Hope you enjoy!

    This is the first alcohol ink art I have liked. This is gorgeous. The rest were okay, but this is really pretty.
  • Your thumbnail alone was FRAMEWORTHY. Thank you for your artistry, so glad to find you! Happy Grandmama-ing...it's the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow of our baby-raising. Love.
  • Lorri this is beautiful. ! I think you should not stress about how long the video goes. If people don’t want to watch it until the end well then they can say bye bye. I quite enjoy them. If it is long “ oh well” :) If I have to be somewhere I can come back to it and watch the rest later. No biggie. Don’t stress girl! Your doing great! Lol
  • I think that is really pretty and your future granddaughter will love it forever! My granddaughter is 8yrs old I think I will do this for her as a keepsake from Nana
  • Lorrie, the ink whisperer! This might be one of my favorites! Letting people see where things don't go as planned is what "tutorials" are all about.
  • @mebarnhardt
    I did not find this boring at all. I need the repetition. Thank you!
  • This is so beautiful! I love all the colors with the brass. Your granddaughter will cherish this painting forever!
  • Thank you for all of the tips & tricks. Also, watching you is therapeutic:)
  • You absolutely crack me up! You so me of myself! I love watching you! And I love learning from your mistakes. I will definitely keep watching. Your work is beautiful! I'll never forget "herding in the sheep!" and you make supper, not dinner!
  • @DisplayofColor
