Inks with alcohol for piñata
As an artist who loves to be spontaneous, well isn't it for everyone? - and enjoy your artistic playtime, this exciting new product really gets the creative juices flowing. That feeling you get, when you first discover the potential of these amazing inks, when you can't wait to get started, is what I feel every time I open a bottle of Piñata Alcohol Ink. I am driven by the need to be wild and free and unleash a spectacle of beautiful and luscious colors. "Wow" is the word that comes to mind to describe the freedom of expression that he never fails to deliver with every drop he distributes on paper. As an artist, I am constantly looking for new ideas and products to use in my Splash of Gold art workshops. I am eager to share my enthusiasm for allowing others to release their artistic inhibitions.
First of all I used Brusho, a fantastic product with a wide range of colors and so much versatility. Piñata Alcohol inks offer a host of new possibilities to explore. Yupo paper, which has a high gloss finish, is mainly used in the printing industry. But thanks to the interplay between glitter and alcohol-based inks, we can all have a blast and embark on a journey of wonderful discovery. A riot of color emerges before your very eyes. Rich vibrant hues blend and dazzle. It's like that Queen song, you know, "It's A Kind Of Magic", it really is. Seeing the murmur of color turning, shape changing into an abstract myriad of patterns is inspiring.
I found that you can take random shapes and semi-control where to put the inks so that you can create a more traditional style painting. Playtime always starts with just putting in three or four colors, usually enough to get things flowing. Notice how the colors merge and begin to take shape in recognizable shapes. Call it what you want, but I liken it to cloud watching, as the images and shapes are formed right there in front of you. Sometimes this can be advantageous to achieve something surprising, yes, even unexpected. Then tell people, “Yes, it was all planned” while knowing that it is about allowing your inner child to come out and play.
We as artists do not allow ourselves to view creativity in such a blatant way. The opportunity to do so should be seized wholeheartedly. Rediscover the sheer joy that creativity can evoke and give up those expectations of our own art and whether it is good enough for a show. Can I sell it? Ultimately, the fun factor can be obscured and lost, so take some time to have fun. You can use a flow agent to slow down and increase the surface area of ink coverage on the paper. This agent can be applied many times. So each time it will change and lighten the composition. This is extremely useful for achieving depth of field.
I have found that the following items have shown excellent results;
- Alcoholic Inks Piñata
- SAA pipettes; These are great for dripping smaller amounts of ink onto your paint.
- Pipettes can also be used to add the clearing agent and are useful for making smaller marks.
- SAA Silver Range brushes.
- Masking fluid with applicators.
- Sorbet.
- SAA Yupo paper.
- Wax relief bars.
Experiment with whatever is available to you and discover the unrivaled sparkling and iridescent effects that Piñata can reveal. Let your imagination fly!
