The cards which looks scribbled were done on photo paper. On photo paper they do not spread much therefore scribbling works well. On Yupo, alcohol inks work better if you drop rather than scribble, The drops bleeds and will connect with another drop if it is nearby. In this first photo, The two photos in the bottom row right and left redone on Yupo, which is a synthetic material similar to plastic.
This one was done on Velum, as you can see there is some spreading but not circular as on the Yupo.
The velum gives it a stained-glass type effect.
These were done on Yupo.
This one is a close-up of alcohol inks on Yupo.
These are the inks dropped on a full sheet of you about before I cut them to size for cards. The feathering of some of the circles comes about when you drop some 90 % alcohol ink onto it. Without the alcohol the circles stay fairly intact. If desired, you can doodle onto the circles with permanent marker's or paint pens. I hope you enjoyed my post and I would love to hear your comments or questions. What kind of art do you do for total relaxation and fun?
Just stunning.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Peggy, glad you stopped by!
DeleteSorry Peg, I must have been AutoCorrected!
DeleteThey look great, especially the one with Yupo paper. Dit you use high glossy foto paper? I have heard that it works better than normal foto paper.
ReplyDeleteI used free photo paper from my HP printer :-) so not sure if it is high-gloss, but it does look glossy. Yupo does probably give you the brightest sharpest color.
DeleteJust can't beat alcohol inks for POW! colour and effects!
ReplyDeleteNo kidding, Win! I read you were supposed to set the inks with the finish and although it was recommended and it is labeled hi gloss, it dulled the colors. ;) next time I will take the risk and leave them alone :-)!
DeleteGreat job Becky!!
