Repeatedly inspired by @jamely 's posts with alcohol inks I finally gave it a shot! I’m a little in love, and have a lot to learn I adore the ability to make them crackle/pool…but am not yet 100% sure how I made them do that! Luckily this was the trial piece to see if I wanted to give the full one a shot, so I’ve got that to play with!
The piece is 8" x 11", 1/4" clear acrylic with the design cut out of 1/16" black acrylic and glued on with 3M tape, and then the paint applied to the pockets cut out of the black acrylic.
These are the inks I bought, and they are lovely and highly pigmented. Instead of cutting off the tips as instructed, I opened them with just a pin prick so I was able to deliver paint one drop at a time.
The full art I’m going to do looks something like this:
