Medium
Painting - Alcohol Ink On Yupo
Description
Red, Blue and Purple abstract flowers in alcohol ink on Yupo, by Conni Schaftenaar
The title is tongue-in-cheek - this summer, along with other members of my watercolor classes, I've been experimenting with other media. I've worked on Yupo before, using watercolor, but this time we played with alcohol inks.
Great fun, splashing on brilliant colors, spraying with a mister bottle with alcohol in it (I just LOVE the textured "cellular" background THAT created!), using a straw to blow the ink around, using a cotton swab to manipulate color placement and shape.
Those of us who participated in this activity have declared ourselves to now be "alcoholics" - totally addicted to the mesmerizing possibilities of creating with alcohol ink!
