This is an introduction to alcohol ink painting. It is meant to be fun – no expectations except but for pure entertainment and exploration of a new medium! Alcohol Ink is a permanent ink that reacts with rubbing alcohol similar to the way watercolor pigment does with water. It is intended for non-porous surfaces such as slick Yupo watercolor paper, ceramic tile, glass, etc. It dries very quickly due to the alcohol base, and the fluid motion lends most toward abstract images.
