Abstract alcohol ink tutorial using Ranger colors Teakwood and Stream, and Pinata metallic Brass. I used 91% isopropyl alcohol and 9 inch x 12 inch Grafix opaque white craft plastic. I also use a Revlon brush style hair dryer (on the cool setting) with the brush attachment removed to move the ink.

It's comforting when you say that you used to feel like you were chucking it because you can't get it. I'd be very very happy to get what you think are not done or look bad to you and I'd be THRILLED to have it like that LOL

‘Don’t ever feel like you come up short to someone else’s art’ That is beautiful and wise advise!

Finally, I found my teacher. Thank you so much for your tutorials. I've only watched 18 mins so far, but I now know 180% more than I did before. I'm excited to use what I've learned so far on paper!

Absolutely Mesmerizing..thanks so much for the detailed tutorial. I can't wait to try!

I love your work. I’m a beginner in alcohol inks and find your tutorials are very informative and easy to follow. I also appreciate you providing the links for the materials needed.

You are so right. I thought the same way about not ever being good enough, and not wanting anyone to see my stuff. Then, unbeknownst to me, my husband put some of my paintings up for sale on eBay, and something that I didn’t even like, sold! I couldn’t believe it. Somebody actually liked my stuff enough to pay for it! So, now I just do for me to let that creative whatever out, and who cares if anyone else likes it! I love your painting. I’m new to alcohol inks, so when I saw your tutorial, I had to watch, but your encouragement is just fantastic! Thank you so much! ( P.S. - I’m not a flower girl either.)

Beautiful! I’ve just started playing with alcohol inks and realise that I’ve been way too heavy handed. I love the wispy look of this piece and am amazed how little coloured ink you actually use. Thank you for sharing your technique ☺️

I just got supplies to start experimenting with Ranger alcohol inks… this was fun to watch and helpful! Beautiful piece. Thank you 💜
