What is alcohol ink painting?

Alcohol ink painting is the process of using alcohol ink, which is made from isopropyl alcohol, resin and pigment, to create beautiful, fluid looking works of art.

Alcohol inks are vibrant, can be used on many different types of surfaces and are often used to create abstract pieces. The inks are fast drying and once dry are waterproof.

Some examples of surfaces that artists can create alcohol ink paintings on include metal, glass, plastic, yupo paper, primed panels and smooth non absorbent surfaces.

The colour layers are vibrant, yet translucent and artists will apply the inks with various methods, such as dripping and layering. Artists will optionally use a tool like a brush or air blower to spread the ink across the surface.
