Last week, I showed you the first of several techniques that I've been using to experiment with alcohol inks. Here are some of the other pieces that I made using this wet into dry method.
To recap, you drip your alcohol ink colors onto a dry background. They can sit there and dry, or you can begin working with them while they're still wet. Using 91% rubbing alcohol in a squeeze bottle, you add the solvent to one small area at a time, manipulating the running inks with a blower. You can use a hair dryer (set on cool), canned air, a heat gun (at a distance), or even just a straw.
One of the things I most like about this method is the airy, wispy, ethereal look that you can get.
