Learned to Make Peacock Feathers with Ink!


Working with Inks has been such a fun new experience for me. I've been manipulating the abstract paintings by turning them while the ink dries. You can get some really cool effects and they have some of the brightest colors.


Before the ink completely dries...you can use brushes to get the inks to move and create some interesting textures and patterns.  Here I used a small brush to give the appearance of feathers.
It can be tricky... .and you never know what you'll come out with!
