      Woo Hoo. Glad you started. Must share. BTW my first couple of pieces were awful. Hopefully you are more successful in the beginning, but don't get put off if they are not. Just keep swimming.

    I like the effect of the blending solution much better.

    • @ClaraLawrence

      Yes I agree, sometimes the blending solution does a lot better.

      Thanks. I was seeing so many people having this issue and my brain said Wait you have this stuff. Show what it can do along side alcohol so people can art.

    Thank you Clara! Great experiment. Have you tried the matte archival spray over the blending solution experiment to see if it reactivates?

    i do acrylic fluid painting but have recently started tinkering with alcohol inks. loved this video! Question: I have a lot of alcohol left over from the pandemic but its 99%. does that effect the inks vs. 91%?

    • @ClaraLawrence
      @ClaraLawrence  Год назад +1

      Yes, you can use 99%. Be super careful because the fumes are MUCH stronger than 91%. I would use a respirator with that stuff.

  • @michellesallerson8201
    @michellesallerson8201 4 года назад

    Hi Clara....is a blow dryer or heat gun better to use. I’m just beginning to use alcohol inks.

    • @ClaraLawrence
      @ClaraLawrence  4 года назад

      I primarily use a small travel blow dryer. I have been putting a list of supplies on my videos in the descriptions because of all the inquiries. I find the travel dryer works great. The low setting is just perfect for me. BabylissPro Travel Dryer - amzn.to/39jepiI

  • @greenones8754

    Alcohol hard to come by by by by. Like I'm in a tunnel. Ethy, Isopropyl and methanol are all an option white spirit or any mineral spirits. Turpentine, naphtha, toluene, MEK, DMF or any other gycol ether is all sorta rank one. There's a list of alternatives too but you focus too much on that one alcohol whilst all of these would work.

  • @ivanmedrano3753
    @ivanmedrano3753 2 года назад

    very good comparison. I want to start working with alcohol inks on wood but my biggest doubt is what type of paint to use as a base (that is, the white base)

    • @devilblueduke
      @devilblueduke 2 года назад

      on wood? you don't use alcohol inks on that kind. it's for glossy stuff like mirrors, glass, glossy paper, yupo paper.

    • @ClaraLawrence
      @ClaraLawrence  Год назад +1

      If I want to use alcohol inks on top of wood, I will add something with a gloss coat on the wood first. Alcohol inks like things that are slick.

  • @pamh9674

    So basically, they both are worth having depending on the look you need for your specific artwork.

    • @ClaraLawrence
      @ClaraLawrence  Год назад

      Yup, it is up to you and how you feel comfortable working. However with white, I would highly recommend using this over alcohol.

  • @crystallee9295
    @crystallee9295 3 года назад

    Here in Hawaii we have to make our on Alcohol inks and blending solution(91% alcohol & glycerin). Because no one will ship it here because it restricted

    • @ClaraLawrence
      @ClaraLawrence  3 года назад

      That's cool. RezinArt pigments can be mixed in with alcohol and used as an alcohol ink. However the pigments will be on the surface of your board and will need to be sealed in. Highly recommend resin over them. ArtistTillDeath.com sells the pigments. Use code "howdy" to get an additional 5% off.

    How much alcohol or blending solution do you need to put on ?

  • @nicnak4302

  • @joanbejune7751
    @joanbejune7751 3 года назад +1

    Does 70% alcohol work or do you need 90?

    • @ClaraLawrence
      @ClaraLawrence  3 года назад

      I wouldn't do it. 91% is best or 99% (a bit pricey but available). Blending solution is easier to find right now. Single bottle amzn.to/2DjQQMn and 2 bottles amzn.to/3fwe6E2 I have other links in the description of most of my videos.

  • @devilblueduke
    @devilblueduke 2 года назад

    ever since I use Tim Holtz yupo paper I don't use any kind of alcohol or solution

  • @sunnyartist1785
    @sunnyartist1785 4 года назад +1

    Thank you for doing this comparison! I've just recently begun dabbling in alcohol inks, and I can't buy the 91% Isopropyl. I have actually been using the 70% Isopropyl until it's gone. I had one bottle of the blending solution but didn't realize it can be used exactly like the Isopropyl. This was extremely helpful, and I really enjoyed the video.

    • @ClaraLawrence
      @ClaraLawrence  4 года назад +1

      You are very welcome. I had heard a bunch of people talking on a live that I moderate for about the struggles of getting alcohol and it made me start thinking about alternatives. I'm very glad that helped.

  • @materialgirl338
    @materialgirl338 2 года назад

    Are you wearing a mask? Also note that alcohol can ignite with heat or fumes.

    • @ClaraLawrence
      @ClaraLawrence  Год назад +1

      My studio is large and the ceilings are high. A lot of air circulation. I will also take a break and air it out if I've worked on lots of pieces.

  • @devilblueduke
    @devilblueduke 2 года назад

    I say the 91% and Tim Holtz is about the same. since 91% u can get a big ass bottle for under a $1 and Tim for a tiny bottle for $7 it's not worth it at all. even if I was a millionaire I wouldn't do it. I do have both but rarely use Tim's.

    • @ClaraLawrence
      @ClaraLawrence  Год назад +1

      At the time I did this video, alcohol was no where to be found because of covid. But was available was blending solution. So, that is the reason I made the video for those who still wanted to use the medium but couldn't find alcohol.
