A Work In Process . A First! Using Yupo Sheets With Alcohol Inks!!

Yesterday I shared my tutorial on creating a suitable substrate for alcohol inks because I didn't have the Yupo Sheets yet. And yes, because i is costly stuff. Finally I tried it (so far only one sheet - too scared of wasting it).
this video isn't really a tutorial but more about my first time experience using Yupo. I was surprised at how different it is. To see what I learned watch below.

These are all the same painting in different stages. Guess which one is first!

Learn With Me - No Yupo? Creating A Substrate (surface) For Alcohol Inks

The past few weeks, I didn't have the ever popular Yupo "paper" and wanted to create a similar surface so I could use my alcohol inks. Yupo paper is not actually paper but polypropylene sheets that are nonporous. They are used a lot for alcohol ink painting. Now that I have tried the real thing, I can see why artists use it. Colours are bright and bold, no bleeding or absorbing, just pure pigment flow.

However, aside from being able to use alcohol inks on other nonporous substrates or surfaces, I thought hey, I can create a nonporous surface using my acrylic medium and/or gesso and such. Nonporous means a non absorbent ssurface so the inks can move and flow. You can see why when you put a drop on cardstock or paper, a porous surface and see how it wicks up the ink. The fun and beauty of alcohol inks is what the do when the meet each other. Far different than any paint I have ever worked with. Try it and you will see why this medium is so addicting!

Come see what I did and maybe you could use these ideas too.

Inspired By More Flowers...

Just wanted to show you the video I just made to share some more about just how inspiring flowers Georgia O'Keefe knew that, take a look at some of her beautiful paintings. It was because of her, that I even thought of painting close-ups of these most colourful blooms. Check out this Kid's activity page on Pinterest about Georgia's work.

 Leon checking out my unfinished painting.

have been in my artistic life. You'll see a few of the hundreds of photos of those flowers I took. Oh, I forgot to say, that some of the flowers, I even planted from seeds just so I could be inspired when they grew up! If you want to know how to be inspired try looking at flowers in a really close way. God didn't want us to just pass them by.
