Alcohol Ink On Canvas And Some Precautions

By David Anderson


Spirit can be used for plenty of things, most notably, a Friday night that ends up as a Saturday morning filled with headaches, regrets but tons of memories to remember. But alcohol has other uses besides temporarily picking up the spirit such as being used as a cleaning agent and medicine. But one of liquids lesser known uses is as Alcohol Ink on Canvas.

For starters, what does ink made from alcohol? The simple answer to that question without getting too technical is describing them as solidly based dyes, which happen to be quick drying and acid-free. This type of substance is suited for different type of substances such as glass, metals non-porous plastics and are perfect for scrapbooking and other similar uses.

The second option is a little bit messier, as it requires people to make their own type of ink. On the fun side, it does allow for large amounts of freedom when it comes to creativity. A spirits blending solution drop here and another drop there and the potential to make a combination of colors is virtually limitless. The solution also limits the mess that could potentially happen so that s a plus.

If the second option sounds better than the first that there s some good news. It s possible and doable to make your very own alcoholic ink solution to paint with. All that s needed is a couple of sharpies, rubbing alcohol, a glass jar some scissors, tweezers and something to work on.

Whether this product is brought or made there are a few things that need to be kept in mind and adhered to in order for the best user experience possible, the first is to ensure that the work space in which the ink will be utilized is prepared properly for the unfortunate but possible spill. A flick of a brush that s too strong or knocking over the paint entirely can result in a long and messy clean-up operation that could have easily been avoided.

There are two ways to about said fingernail excuse if the use of this specific product gets the creative motor running. The first option is to make a purchase of inks that are already made and ready to go from any online or art store that happens to stock them. The biggest benefit to this is instant gratification and satisfaction of buying something that can be used then and there.

The other option, not as simple but still as effective. This is because the alternative involves making your own alcohol ink from scratch. There are plenty of tutorial videos to follow and use available on Youtube, as well as some websites that give detailed step by step instructions.

Using spirits ink for arts and crafts can be fun, and the work produced as a result of it be a sight to behold. But unlike other means of rendering paintings or anything needing a graphic touch. Be it paper, metal or glass, its use is unlike other products and precautions need to be taken in order to avoid inhaling fumes that may cause respiratory problems with prolonged exposure and nails that are hard to clean.
