  • @kraftylady23
    @kraftylady23 3 года назад +43

    When you use cheap acrylic paint, the paint has a filler in it and not pure pigment of paint. Therefore it is always be cloudy. If you tried to use an expensive watercolor paint that is pure pigment you would get a clearer outcome.

    A little tip. You can drop 2 BB's from a BB gun in the bottles to help mix while you shake them up. You want 2 because 1 can block the hole were hardly any thing comes out.

    Would the paint work better with a different type of paint, like watercolor discs or Tempura?

    • @MakeShapeCreate
      @MakeShapeCreate  3 года назад +1

      I think tempura paint would have a similar problem with the alcohol breaking it down and not truly mixing with it! Watercolors I’m not sure, the disc are a good idea! Might have to try that in the future

    question, I was trying to sell some unused old ink that was for an old computer can you extract the ink using the needles like you would refill ink cartridges. then i don't have to worry about wasting printer ink and reuse it to make me alcohol inks

  • @ES-hr8yx
    @ES-hr8yx 3 года назад +2

    Sorry, i have several questions.
    How much alcohol did you use in the final one? How much bang for the buck in the final option if you were to use double the quantity of ink than you used, to make the colour match with the store bought alcohol ink. & In comparison to the store bought alcohol ink bottle, what's the price difference then finally? & Finally did you use it on yugo paper and what were the results in comparison with store bought bottle?

    • @MakeShapeCreate
      @MakeShapeCreate  3 года назад +1

      I believe it’s in the video and the description! I believe it was like 3/4 of an oz off the top of my head! I’m sure adding more printer ink would “enrich them more”!

    The commenter was right. Acrylics have a plastic-like binder. Alcohol is a solvent. They two don't mix. The results were from pigment, but the solids were separated out.
    Thank you for showing how to try, learn and keep on going!
    Blessings!

      That’s a hard question because the alcohol is cheap normally, and the printer ink is like $15, the little bottles are less than $10 for 30! Rough estimate is the the homemade ones cost about 80¢ or less to make and you have more of everything to make more if you want, verses buying that is a dollar to $5 and up! Thanks for watching!

    Love the whole idea of making these paints. I got lost when you pulled out those bigger bottles. Are they large acrylic paints? Also, when you put that you added 3 ml's of a particular paint it didn't look like you added a full 3 ml's to the alcohol. I am a nurse and 3 ml's would fill the entire syringe. Just a bit lost on that part. Is it more like 3 drops? Thanks for making this great video. Love you guys. Also, is any type of acrylic ink good to make these alcohol inks, or is any type of acrylic paint, cheap or costly, fine to use for making these alcohol paints. I so thank you both for sharing your expertise with me. I can't wait to get started. Again, thanks a bunch!

      @@MakeShapeCreate thank you for your response! So when you guys say 3 ml's is it truly a full 3 milliliters? A standard syringe, like one I would use to give a shot is a full 3 cc's So finally, I want to know if I should really add a full 3 milliliters of alcohol per the directions or a few drops? I apologize if I sound dingy but I just want to get it right when I make these wonderful alcohol paints. You guys are funny, love your interactions and of course your response.

    Stick with the printer ink but add a binding agent. Then it wont separate, and it will stick! There is a binder sold with alcohol inks , it's just clear. Then you add some to the inks your making.

    Try testing it on Yupo paper next time, as we get no sense of how the 'inks' you've created behave in a real piece of artwork... Blobbing it on a plate doesn't really help! 😂 The colour is only _part_ of the measure of what makes a good alcohol ink, tbh. How it blends, spreads and mixes with other inks - essentally, how it behaves on the substrate - is also key.

    Hi Guys! I was so excited to try this after watching your demo. I mixed the 91% alcohol and the inks per your instructions. The color values looked beautiful. But that's where the beauty unfortunately ended for me :-(. Even though I shook each printer ink before using AND shook each alcohol ink I made, they granulated a lot...esp the purple. I did some research and learned that printer ink is now made with tiny plastic particles instead of dye. I think that may be the problem. So going cheaper backfired but it was worth a try.

      sounds like you got pigment ink instead of dye ink. epson dura-Brite and Claria inks, for example, are pigment. most Canon inks are dye based, although they do make a couple of pigment inks. (many of their individual ink tank printers have a separate pigment black used for text) if you get a printed sheet wet and the ink runs, it's dye. if it stays put, it's pigment. so, double check for pigment vs dye when purchasing.

    Looked like you were using 50% alcohol. That means the other 50% was water. Now try using higher alcohol content. 70%, 91%, and 99%. You will get a better solution the higher the alcohol content. Should get rid of those little clomps of pigment that don't dissolve. You will also have different solutions for different effects. There is also distilled alcohol. Primary colors are Magenta, Cyan, and Yellow not red, blue, yellow like we were taught in school.
