Artist
Statement
I
fell in love with Alcohol Inks after taking a workshop with a local artist. After
joining an AI group on Facebook, I started to develop new techniques for more
interesting compositions.
Alcohol inks are very
vibrant and transparent. They allow the artist to explore the ways colors
blend, shade, splatter, float and flow.
They continually transform themselves; that’s the exciting part of
working with AI. As an artist, every piece I paint surprises me.
Alcohol Inks are ideal
for use on non-porous surfaces – yupo paper, plastic, glass, metal, ceramic,
acetate -- anything that allows them to float and spread on the surface until
they dry.
