Alcohol Painting

Last Saturday I attended a very interesting workshop on alcohol painting!  Alcohol inks can be a fun way to do impressionistic designs for making greeting cards and other works of art.  They are acid free, highly pigmented and fast drying in a medium that can be used on non-porous surfaces. The free flowing quality of alcohol inks allows you to experiment with the layering of colours on your desired artwork.  I am going to experiment with making birthday cards for my family (I have been doing this with acrylic paints on canvas in the past), but with alcohol paints I have purchased Yupo paper which is tree free, recyclable synthetic paper!  I have also purchased my inks and am ready to see what I can come up with!!!  I will let you know in a future post how I make out!!!!!
