Hi there my Art Peeps!

I would love to show you how you can create your own Iridescent Shimmer Sparkle Paints with your Mediums!  I have a new class on my website. Many new alcohol ink brands are coming out with Shimmering colors, but you can create some lovely colors with your basic colors.

Alcohol Ink on Tile

Alcohol Ink on Tile is just as fun as Yupo and less expense.

It's a great medium to start with if you decide to try alcohol Inks.

I  used a small glossy white tile, 4 colors of ink, one small paint brush, and a white gel pen

to complete this one.

Ink Colors: 

Stream

Shell Pink

Snowcap

Pitch Black

Original Alcohol Ink on Yupo Paper

8x10 Mat - $125.95

I absolutely love the green...not your typical blue water and sky with inks.

I use a pouring technique for the background then wait for that to dry. The next step is to use a dryer ink, one that has been poured into a paint palette and sits for about 3-4 minutes. Once the ink has thickened a bit the details of the trees and rocks are painted in with a small fine tip paint brush. I go back and layer them letting each section dry first.

Hope you all have a wonderful Saturday - thanks for taking the time to stop by!
