I thought I'd share some of the videos I used as inspiration for my ART4U alcohol paintings. I could watch these videos all day! I need more practice, that's for sure. I'd also like to do more of the ink dripping and doodling.

Stamping with Alcohol inks

Joggles has other AI videos. I searched youtube on "Joggles alcohol ink"

Please share if you try these techniques! The painting was not as hard as it looks, you really can get the ink to thicken just by putting it on a palette and stirring it around for a minute. My problem is I am not a painter (well, one of my problems).
Also, what do you think about stamping with AI? Joggles said she cleaned her stamp with rubbing alcohol. That made me a little nervous. It seems it would dry out your rubber ... but then it's not something I would do over and over again. I did clean mine with rubbing alcohol but made sure to wipe it again afterward with a damp chamois.

I did catch one of those videos while watching creativation or however they spelled it.
I put it in my going to try it folder but hadn’t got to it. She made it look easy, but she has a art degree. You did a wonderful job. I must try it!

Yes! Try it! Jan reminded us that yupo paper can be wiped almost clean with rubbing alcohol. I’d forgottten. Now I’ll save a few practice sheets and I won’t feel like I’m wasting paper when I’m just playing with ink.

I haven’t gotten my hands on any yupo paper yet, but it is something I would like to try with the alcohol inks. Thanks for sharing the resources.

You're welcome, Heidi!
I think the ink might "bloom" (move) a little less on yupo than on glossy paper. Or was it more? One of the videos I watched did a comparison, but I can't remember which one at the moment.
You might also try Tyvek if you have any of that around. Maybe a used priority mail envelope? I remember playing with that YEARS ago, and darn it I just threw one out yesterday!
