Steps On How To Use Alcohol Ink

By Thomas Wood


The artistic sector globally has vested much of their diligent efforts towards the quest to achieve remarkable and attractive creations. This has been manifested through drafting various optimal procedures on how to use alcohol ink in making creative paintings on certain surfaces. This is a brightly hued solid-based dye that is often used in creating flowing textures on non-porous surfaces. It can be used alone or with mixed media.

The decorative component requires the use of an appropriate procedure which must be followed religiously. It starts by cleaning the surface on which you will make the painting and then squeezing approximately three drops of the ink onto the surface. Using a canned compressed air with a straw, spray the drops to create a spatter like pattern. The straw is essential in that it ensures you get the desired angles. Then seal the painted surface with at least two coats of clear acrylic sealer to prevent drip.

Selection of an optimal alcoholic blending solution follows. The solution is typically for diluting and lightening the dye crystals. This solely prepares the ink for the application. It also provides the medium in which varied dyes with different colors are mixed. The solution is further used in fostering the trinket looks of the surface as well for cleaning slippery surfaces, hands and application tools when the job is done.

After preparing the solution with colors of your choice, you should select an applicator that can be either makeshift or manufactured. They all operate similarly as they allow the user to mix diverse hues of ink as well applying the resulting solution on the opted surface with minimal errors. Nevertheless, the manufacturer-developed applicator is more hybrid than the makeshift since it is used in events where cleaner applications are desired.

Selection of a smooth surface follows. The surface selected should be leak-proof and highly non-porous to offer a soothing application exercise. The surfaces that are widely used entail; shiny paper, smooth metallic, ceramic, and glass surfaces. The porous solid surfaces are not suitable for the painting since they allow the solution to leak in any surface which leads to fading with time.

Also, the actual application exercise supports the usage of diverse technologies. The hobbyist can adopt the spatter technique which spreads the dripped dye evenly using a straw in a compressed air can. This is the effective technique in that it results in desired angles. One can also adopt an applicator to spread the dye on the surface to attain desired looks. Similarly, you can also adopt a felt applicator to attain a marbled effect on your patterns.

Moreover, the inks are typically used for decorative purposes which yields beautiful results. It is featured by a simple process that requires no technical training for one to gain the skills. The use of varied dye colors results in the realization of amazing paintings on the surfaces applied.

Therefore, the activity is a lively exercise that requires a procedural process to attain remarkable results. It thus obliges one to effectively master the laid steps in achieving the desired looks on surfaces applied. The decorative aspects it realizes on household items is the reason behind the ever-ballooning application of the hobby.
