Description
Autumn Tree in blazing reds and oranges, in alcohol ink and enamel pen and acrylic, by Conni Schaftenaar.
Using a stunning reference photo (see note below), I drew the tree in Testor Black Enamel Paint Marker and let it dry thoroughly overnight. Then I started dropping inks onto it, blowing ink, smearing ink, dragging ink with tools, whatever I thought would give me the look of a canopy of blazing autumn color. I then added some red, orange, and yellow leaves using acrylic model paint after all the alcohol ink areas were dry. The Testor's enamel paint is the only thing I've found to use for drawing on an alcohol ink piece that won't break up when touched with alcohol, but it has to be thoroughly dry before beginning to use the inks.
Happily, the original of this piece sold today right after I posted it on a FB alcohol ink group to explain the use of the Testor marker. Thanks to the buyer from Tennessee who will soon be receiving it!
