By Shirley Burns


Using inks is a fun way of painting and creating beautiful art. This can be done on metal and glasses. The liquid is highly pigmented, acid-free and fast drying. It should be used on non-absorbent surfaces. You can mix colors and apply them to create a vibrant effect. Below are some of the ways in which you can use alcohol ink on glass to create beautiful art.

Before you start the project, there are certain things you need so as to make your work effortless. You first need different types of inks. The market is filled with different types hence you can easily get a variety of them. If you want to get more beautiful results, consider utilizing many of them. There are sellers who provide them in packs of three. This is a good option if you want to save on money and are trying out the project for the first time.

You will need a blending solution. Its work is to lighten and dilute inks. This liquid may be used to enhance your project and also clean up the mess when you are through. It cleans inks off your hands, surfaces, and tools. You will also require an applicator. This enables you to mix colors and apply them on glasses without creating a mess. If you cannot afford an applicator, wear gloves before application to avoid staining your hands.

Clean the working surface you intend to use. Make sure that it cannot absorb the solution. In addition, it ought to be flat to enable you to easily carry out your project. This can either be gloss paper, ceramic or metal. The sealer used needs to be clear for colors not to fade away or be wiped off. Two to three thin coats are enough for coating.

There are certain methods that can be used in applying the inks. This can be a direct application to surfaces or the use of a marker that ensures a direct application. A felt applicator allows you to start by creating a background, applying the bending solution and then the liquid directly.

Applying the liquid directly provides you with more power of the areas the colors need to go and how much of it should be used. You can then use the tip of your applicator to blend the mixtures. You can also put the solution on the surface and press it into the medium so as to come up with different patterns. One can also put the medium in water and immerse the glasses for creating a different look.

Do not start with many projects at a go. The projects you work on when it comes to painting will provide you with good results when you start with the simple tasks. With time, you can be able to better your skills and can move on to complicated glassware. If you are not happy about a particular outcome, use a blending solution that can clean it off before you start again.

The glassware that should be painted needs to be ready. Any dirt covered will provide you with poor outcome. The glassware needs to be tidied well and dried with all the labels removed before you start working on it. You can enjoy the inks for quite some time prior to buying other colors.
