By Betty Young


Perhaps you have been thinking of taking up a new hobby. That is a great idea. If you are yet to decide on what you want to pursue, consider attending a painting class. If you look around, you should be able to find tips on how to use alcohol ink in your area or even online. It is not difficult, and you can expect to learn the basics in months.

When it comes to abstract painting, you will not find a better medium than alcohol ink. It easy to use and contains no acidic parts. Some people use it to bring into existence breathtaking abstract collages. If you have some creativity and imagination, there are many ways to manipulate it into wonderful creations. Get the right supplies, and you are ready to start.

Buy ink. Several places carry this product including your town store. Do a quick online search, and you should get a couple of suppliers who provide great products at affordable prices. Choose ink that has kits with many colors that can complement one another. If you are clueless about hues, do some reading on the worldwide web or in relevant magazines and books. Understand beforehand how different color mix and the effect you could create.

The next step is purchasing a blending solution. This material dilutes paint such that a unique effect is created when you apply it to the medium. You do not have to use it, but there are reasons most people use it. It supports you when you want to come up with amazing effects. Besides, the solution helps you to wash off ink from your brush and hands.

Naturally, you must also have a canvas. This is where you will be practicing or learning your artistic skills. The best canvasses include metal, glass, shrinking film, gloss paper, primed wood, and ceramic. For learning purposes, consider buying some Yupo paper. It is quite popular in the community that loves this type of art. Again, you might need to do some reading up.

Use a pencil or pen and trace out an outline of a preferred picture. Your picture could be a hill, a mountain, a flower and so on. Thinking too much is one of the biggest mistakes people learning this craft keep on making. Allow yourself the luxury of free imagination. Put some drops of your medium on paper, and then use your brush to soak it all up. Then, proceed to fill the outline.

Since you are aiming at an abstract look, paint freehand. Typically, the material you are using is used to develop abstract art. For the best results, forget about being organized and orderly for a while and let your imagination flow. Different hues can be used to create different work each time. Darker colors result in brooding artwork while brighter colors let you create happier pieces of art.

Allow a few drops onto your canvas. The drops form themselves into pools you can play with. Take your brush and make light strokes that spread the medium out. Repeat the process until you are satisfied. Have your blending solution on top of the wet work and watch the resultant reaction. This solution helps you get rid of any color you no longer want. Allow the painting to dry.
