✨ Between Ranger and Jacquard Piñata, my MUCH preferred ink now is Piñata! It is more concentrated, more vibrant, more lightfast AND less expensive! It is easily thinned and blended for endless colors. If you watch later alcohol ink videos of mine you’ll see that I use a new NON-TOXIC alcohol ink brand called Kielty Ink even more. They are low in odor, more lightfast, and more concentrated. I hope you’ll have a chance to learn about them.✨

The price of isopropyl alcohol (also called "rubbing alcohol") is exorbitant online ... I was unable to find a reasonably priced listing to add for you here.
Ceramic tile prices were equally, or more, "just wrong" online ... $15 for 10 4x4 inch tiles?!? There should hopefully be no need to pay that. Home improvement stores, some hardware stores, tile shops, recycle/reuse shops, and more, carry them for much less.
If you'd like to seal your alcohol ink paintings, I use a museum quality spray by Krylon. Unlike most spray varnishes and acrylic sprays, it will not react in any way with the alcohol inks ... so, even the most tiny details will remain crisp and unchanged when sprayed.

I hope this was of help in getting you started.
Thank you in advance for watching the videos, sharing them, commenting and leaving a thumbs up. Your kindness helps my channel continue and it is all greatly appreciated! May the alcohol inks, resin, and paints be kind, and may the pours be with you. 😊💕 Хобби
Myriam, I hope an art school, high school or college/university has the honour of having you on staff because you are one of the best teachers I have ever seen. Your pace, tone, content, humour, knowledge all promote learning in students of all levels, even someone like me who had never attempted making art until I hit my 70s. Thank you for your generosity in sharing what you know with us.
But why teach 30 people when you can teach 500,000 at a time?
If only ALL teachers were this clear and thorough! From one teacher to another - THANK YOU!!!
You are by far my favorite alcohol ink artist to watch. Not only do you share tips and tricks using alcohol inks, you also share the best products to use. Plus you always put a smile on my face. I love your videos.
The art teacher I always wanted 🥺❤️
What a lovely thing to say Allie... thank you!! 😊💕
Ikr! Best One on the Tube!♥️
If she was there as my art teacher. I hadn't bunked classes
FIRST, let me congratulate you on one of the MOST thought through and well prepared videos on you tube. thank you for not ''winging it'' on our time. i want more ! thanks
Oh my gosh... thank you so much for that!! My plan is to make videos I'd want to watch and hope that they go over well with others. I also want to make them as quick as I can so that you can go and paint!! 😃 I greatly appreciate your encouragement and will certainly keep trying to oblige with more videos. 😊💕
I totally agree! Myriam (with a Y 😆) is a natural and explains things so well. All that and her infectious laughter make her a favorite.
I especially jest about with a Y because I frequently say my name is Kristina with a K......
Totally agree, SO informative. She’s a great explainer
@@kristinaandthegerman4554 I feel your pain I always have to say Geri with a G
This is a great video. Finally someone who broke down the mysteries of alcohol ink in a way that everyone can understand. I love how detailed you were and the passion that you have. You’re a great teacher. Thank you Myriam ❤️
That’s so good to hear... thank YOU! I’m really happy that this was useful. I hope that you have lots fun exploring this wonderful medium. 😊😘💕
I wish every lesson I need to learn in life would be taught by you. You break things down. You are animated and talk like a storyteller to children. Holds my ADHD mind still so I can actually learn something. I'm 420 years old in dog years!
That is one of the nicest comments I’ve ever gotten… Thank you so very much Debi!! I’m only 6 years younger (or 42 dog years 😉😁) and it doesn’t take much to make my mind race a mile a minute in 12 different directions so II am right there with you. My goal has always been to make videos I’d want to watch from start to finish. I’m just over the moon delighted when I hear they work for others. Thank you for taking time to tell me!! 😊😘💕
These starter videos are ULTRA helpful, Thank You!
Only thing I'll add is I'm confused as to why a youtuber such as yourself would think ANY material (in this case the inks) did not have literally thousands upon thousands of amazing options to use. Honestly the .000001% of options shown are pretty underwhelmingly bland LOL.
I'm anxious to find the videos of you using some cool stuff. Anyway, Thanks!
I am new to alcohol inks, having had a couple lessons, but I found this video today and learned sooooo much. In particular, my favorite-turning your painting surface to the side to create the landscapes. This video was very informative! Well done and thanks!
You are a wonderful, knowledgeable teacher who makes art accessible with your gentle and fun way. Thanks for a great video!
Oh Myriam with a Y!! I feel SO fortunate to have found you! I appreciate your thoughtful presentation, always keeping the viewer in mind by using your lazy susan, by adding music or lowering the sound of the blow dryer, all of your great and sensitive tricks, but most of all! It's your LOVE, your sheer enthusiasm! It's infectious, and I've caught it! Thank you, I have so much to learn, I believe I'm beginning something new and amazingly fun here! Hooray! THANK YOU my new teacher!
Oh thank you so very much Diana! 😊💕 I try to make videos a friend might want to watch without getting frustrated 😁. I’m so happy that translates well for viewers. It was very kind of you to take time and leave this comment.
If you’re on FB, I’d love to have you join my group... there are a lot of alcohol ink artists sharing their work, resources, etc. It’s a great place to ask questions, get inspired, and show off what you make. If you’re interested, here is the link: facebook.com/groups/Myriams.Fluid.Art.Tribe 😊
I hope you have endless fun on your alcohol ink journey.
I’m just getting started with alcohol inks & have watched a bunch of Tim Holtz’ videos, & now discovered your wonderful tutorials! Jackpot! Thank you!
Thank you for being an awesome teacher. I absolutely Love how you explain and demonstrate your lesson. You also have a great teaching voice that is clean and clear. That’s especially good for those who have hearing problems. I’ve watched 100’s of teaching videos on different subjects and by far you are the BEST!!!
May you be ABUNDANTLY BLESSED😊
When I hear the joy in your voice as you create, well it just makes me joyful!
Thank you so much for this demo, especially giving the basics so I can learn from the beginning.
Thank you Myriam for your tutorials and your happy nature!
Myriam 😁 you’re so engaging. I love your giggles 😂 and teaching style. I found your channel recently and I’ve learned a ton of information. Thank you🤗🤗. Wished you lived next door...

This is the best tutorial I've seen. Thank you for assuming we're absolute beginners!

Lady, I cannot complement you enough I mean I couldn’t find a decent tutorial yet yours is as they’ve said well thought and answered all my questions, also , you could be the next Bob Ross , you have a very calming so ASMR like voice and way of speaking,,
Great video so enjoyed all the information! Just getting my supplies so very excited! Look forward to seeing your other videos!☺️
Such a beautiful voice, logical sequence of info, and clear direction. Thank you! Love your landscape tile, too.
Thank you, I am looking at new mediums to craft with. I have seen these in the stores for years but was never really sure what the heck you did with them. This was a very helpful video explaining the basics of what they are and what they do. Much appreciated.
Literally everything I needed and wanted to know about this medium with real time examples?! Unbelievably informative video!!! Well done!!! Thank you!!!
AmandaH7hearts you are a wonderful teacher.
She’s SO amazing!!!
Thank you for your generosity in sharing your knowledge and tips. I love playing around with this medium even if it gets a little tricky at times.
Sooooo informative - thank you for sharing this Myriam!
Myriam does a great job going over the basics if you are a beginner with this medium. Very good advice on getting started without breaking the bank for starter supplies. Beautiful art work!
This is two years into the making of this video: it is still the most thorough, informative, comprehensive, clear and engaging tutorial I have come across. Thank you for making it easy for me to proceed with this beautiful hobby!
Great description and tutorial! Thank you!
Thank you! I didn't know where to start. Now I feel ready to go! Your voice is so soothing to listen to!
Thank you so much for these videos! I'm new to the medium and you were able to make SO MANY THINGS make sense in ways that hours and hours of research & tutorials couldn't!
You broke down how to use the materials and why you need to so thoroughly and thoughtfully, and blessedly kept in mind the perspective of those of us that are brand new to alcohol inks instead of forgetting to explain things that have become second nature to you.
I feel so much better about diving into alcohol inks and I love your energy and kindness! Thank you so much again for taking your time out to make this video!
Thank you. That was super helpful, clear and well- thought-out. Best alcohol ink video I have seen, and I have watched quite a few of them. I look forward to watching your other videos. You are an excellent teacher.

Hi Christine! This is such a fun medium… I think you’re going to have a wonderful time. Thank you very much for your kind words. Happy inking! 😊💕
I really appreciate all that you shared and taught in this video. It means so much to understand this medium a little bit better! I am so excited as I finally got some alcohol in this Christmas as a gift, and I am about to try it out! I love your descriptions of everything, and how you share. Thank you!
Myriam, thank you for sharing your knowledge and kindness here on RUclips. I appreciate your technique, your passion, and your sense of humor. I have subscribed, & will watch more and share with others. You Rock!
Extremely helpful, thank you Myriam! I was wondering how people were drawing with them and I saw you use that stylus, and that was what I was really wondering the most. Very educational video. I saw the most gorgeous alcohol ink at an art show and I want to try it. Thanks again!
It was my pleasure... Thank YOU Jeff! The inks can be used in so many different ways. Though they behave quite differently, you can use anything one would use for watercolor with the inks too... e.g., paintbrushes, sponges, misters, etc.
If you’re on FB, I’d love to have you join my group... there are a lot of alcohol ink artists sharing their work, resources, etc. It’s a great place to ask questions, get inspired, and show off what you make. If you’re interested, here is the link: facebook.com/groups/Myriams.Fluid.Art.Tribe
Happy, happy holidays! 😊💕

It is completely my pleasure Carol! They are a wonderful medium… I think you will thoroughly enjoy diving in. 😊💕 Thank you for your kind words!
A delightful introduction to alcohol inks. Thank you.
Excited to star to start!....you are a fantastic instructor!
I've just come across this video while binge watching your channel! I've been using alcohol inks for about four or five months. I can't tell you how much this video has helped me. It's made me excited to go pull out my inks and create today! I love all your videos and I love the joy in your voice when you talk about your artwork, other people's work, and the passion for art! 🖌️👩🎨🎨. I'm a watercolorist primarily, so it's been fun exploring this. And you've been amazing at guiding my adventure! Thank you, thank you, thank you! 😘
Hi Stacy!
I am just delighted that you are excited by this medium. If my videos have helped in any way it makes me all the more happy. 😊 Thank you so much for your super kind and very thoughtful comment. 😘💕
Interestingly I am starting to dabble (I mean really just dabble) in watercolor... THAT is an amazing medium! So much to learn and so challenging!
I wish you lots of fun with all that you create. May you and yours be happy, healthy and safe.
Very informative as usual. Nicely done. You are such a great teacher. You thought of everything in this video.
Oh my gosh, thank you Sheri... I'm glad you think so! 😊💕
Love, love,love this! Thank you so much for sharing and teaching us! I’ve been playing with alcohol inks this week and now am ready the rock it!
Wooo hooo!! That’s awesome to hear... thank you for telling me Janet!! 😊💕 😄
Excellent and so well thought through. Logical and detailed. Thank you!
This was a most informative video!!! Thank you. I am a card maker and have seen these inks used for making backgrounds and it looks like fun. But now I see them in a whole new light and am intrigued by the possibilities. Will definitely subscribe.
Hi Paula... I'm so happy that this was useful! Yes the inks make wonderful soft and variegated backgrounds as the colors blend so beautifully and have such life! Full on painting and drawing with the inks are wonderful experiences for the same reasons. I hope that you will have a chance to try them soon... I think you'll be instantly hooked. 😊 Thank you for your kind and thoughtful comment!
My Goodness, what a wonderful, informative video! I've been wanting to do "something" with alcohol inks for quite some time, but this has given me the knowledge I needed to actually go purchase some, and the confidence to know I'm getting only what I need to get started. Let me also say that I LOVE your voice, and the laughter in it. I'm looking forward to learning from you!
Thank you ever so much for that very kind and very thoughtful comment Tina! 😊💕 I hope that you will have endless fun playing in this magical world of alcohol inks ... just a little warning, they are addictive! 😉
Thank you so very much! I am an acrilic fluid artist that is still very new. I just decided to try alcohol inks and this short video has already taught me so very much about how they work!
The best video I’ve seen EVER!!!!!thanks so much answered everything I needed.
Absolutely the best video ever, you have answered every question I had . You rocked this 100 percent. God love ya!
Oh my gosh, that is just wonderful to hear Laura! Thank you!! I wish you endless fun with the inks! 😊💕

I always wondered how to get those "Lines"
Thank you for sharing this...
Oh thank you so very much Judi! It was a labor of love 💕. It’s such a wonderful medium. Those “lines” are amongst my favorite features 😄.
I love what you do...
and it is such a pleasure to
watch you.
Thank YOU for all you do.
I have learned so much from you...

You are a wonderful teacher!! Thank you so much for clearly breaking it down and for sharing your beautiful, inspiring art!
Comprehensive lesson while remaining entertaining. Thank you, Myriam. Cheers, Constance.
so helpful...thank you....btw....ignore the thumbs downs....they probably are jealous of your knowledge. LOL!! have a great day,,,,,and keep up the sharing..we love it. God bless!
Ha... Thank you for that... It totally made me smile! May you be blessed Christine! 😊💕
When I see a thumbs down after such an informative video, I can only assume someone was on their phone and hit thumbs down in error. You are such a great teacher. Thank you for your time and efforts in sharing your knowledge.
christine Koz
I totally agree about the thumbs down. She is so generous and good at what she does that I can't imagine why they are giving a thumbs down.
Hi Myriam with a “Y” (I love calling you that). I have just commenced my alcohol ink journey and I have watched thousands of videos on this subject. This is THE MOST comprehensive video I have watched. I really look foward to your tutorials going forward. I hope that you will tutor both the abstract and painting styes. I look forward to your next video. Xx
Really... Oh wow... That is amazing to hear! I'm so happy this was helpful. It took a while to make and I kept second guessing what to include 😄. I will make both abstract and realism videos whenever I can! I'm glad the "y" makes you happy... I kinda love it too!!! 😃💕😘 Thank you soooo much Debra!
I absolutely agree and couldn’t have said it better, thank you Myriam!
Debra Ryan vg
I agree
I agree Myriam. I've been watching several videos, and yours is the best. Looking forward to more of your tutorials. :)
Excellent for first timers like me! Thank you!!
Fantastic introductory video, I look forward to watching more!
Knocked it out of the park friend!
Wow thanks Will... That means a LOT to me! Alcohol ink is such a great medium. I'm so happy we both get to show that too! 😘💕😀

Super! Love your teaching style. Have you tried to make the blending solution with glycerin and alcohol? Also, have you tried 99% alcohol? If so, any noticeable differences or advantages? I'm still mucking around with acrylic pouring but see alcohol ink in my future. :-) Thanks!
Hi Marie! I have tried the glycerin and alcohol DIY solution a lot... It is no better than straight alcohol. There are many "recipes" out there with varying amounts of glycerin added... Sadly none are substitutes for genuine blending solution. The glycerin does nothing but slow the drying time of the alcohol a tiny bit but doesn't maintain the sheen and binding properties that the "real" stuff does. Is that important, often not but it does mean that if you use alcohol only (which I definitely do sometimes to save money!) you absolutely HAVE to seal your piece because the ink will EASILY rub off. Real blending solution keeps that from happening because it has binders built in.
I have not tried 99% but know many who have... they report virtually identical results as 91%. I hope that helps. 😊
Thank you for your sweet comment! 💕
Marie caire I believe 91% dries slightly slower than 99% (I am not an expert but it was discussed on a group that I follow). You can mix your own by using 10 parts alcolhol to 1 part distilled water. 😊. I mix up small batches at a time. I haven’t done a comparison but I think I might compare the two. Thanks for your tips too. It’s a great medium.
@@MyriamsNature I am impressed by you, not only your art is beautiful but the way you share your knowledge and expertise so generously, even in this long reply to a comment your explanation is so valuable.
Thank you so much for this overview!! Loved it!! Will watch many more 💕
OMGosh, this is such an informative tutorial! Great job! This media looks like so much fun, makes me want to run out and get some now. Love it! THANK YOU!
Your videos are truly one of my Favorites! thank you for going over everything a step at a time, this really helps to know what i need to make a really beautiful picture. just found your channel and will be following all your awesome videos. Thank you!
Wow so glad I found your channel!!! Liked and subscribed, I just learned about these alcohol inks, I must have been under rock the last 10 years, lol. I ordered 6 inks and a small starter kit on Amazon. Hope they come soon !!! You gave detailed info yet so easy to watch and learn, thanks so much👏 will be back for more 😊 Maddy NY 😎
You are a great teacher!! thank you for such a great tutorial. I was really wanting to use my inks in more of a creative multimedia way, and you have provided me with great inspiration and confidence!! Thank you!!
Brilliantly concise, perfect for a beginner like me, I can't wait to follow along in this series, ty :)
Thank you! Can I also say that I love that you number your videos? Genius!
It’s a Joy watching your posts 😀❤️
Thank you for your truly comprehensive starter video on alcohol inks!!
bought some alcohol inks recently and can't wait to get started, thought i'd do some research first and stumbled across your video. so clear and concise and now even more excited! and beautiful art btw! xx
Thank you so much!! I have been terrified to even start this new medium, and now, you have taken the “monster” out of it!
Thank you!! My first time on alcohol ink!! Thank you
