How to Paint an Ocean Wave with Alcohol Ink

It should be pretty clear by now that I am obsessed with the ocean. I've been playing around with TREX Inks lately, I love the color saturation on them, and decided to use them painting my favorite thing. With TREX Inks you're not going to want to use the Varnish spray and UV Resistant Clear spray from Krylon as it may make it spot or distort the image, instead you're going to want to use Krylon UV Archival varnish spray to seal it. Hope you all enjoy this video, let me know in the comments what you'd like to see me paint next! b
Materials:
INK: TREX INKS Glacier Blue, Tidal Tea, Sunshine Yellow, Dragonfruit Pink, Deep Sea Blue.
NARA synthetic art paper
Alcohol 99%
Pointed Filbert brush
Spotter brush
Make sure to do all your art activities in a well ventilated area. Always seal your artwork with Varnish spray and UV Resistant Clear spray. If using TREX ink use Krylon UV Archival varnish spray which I have since switched to avoid spotting with the TREX ink.

    I love these waves you have been paintings you have been doing....they look wonderful 💜💙❤️💜💙❤️....I actually started one a HUGE one like this on a full sheet of sanded pastel paper, and I have half finished it, but in pastel I still so much more layering to do ...one day I will get around the finishing it but in the meantime I will try one like this in ink...I now have my new S-ink paper, the other paper I have there is no way I could ever do this as soon as I touch a brush to the “plastic ink paper” it lifts off the top layer, no matter how light the touch is and it’s 300 gsm ! .....Thanks for the tip on the spraying to seal.....you wouldn’t think it would make a difference...sorry you had a ruined painting from being unaware 😢 Thanks for sharing this Teresa ! ❤️❤️❤️😘🌊🌊🎨🖌xo

    Thank you for how beautiful this is and for not saying ISOPROPYL in front of alcohol 1 million times. How is the Nara vs Yupo? I find my colors are not as bright on Yupo. I found an old pack of those plastic clear and white cutting boards and that was awesome to play on and they are big so with the Tim holtz scissors I cut them in to different sizes. Thanks as usual for these tuts. I just did the palm tree one yesterday and it was ok. I need to play a little more before I’m happy with the outcome. And just for reference because I used to boogie board,surf (Hawaii girl) when it makes the curve or pipe it’s very soft and clear, like light blue ice and with sand at the very beginning. All the rest of the water is all the blues but that pipe is just clear and beautiful. I love everything you do and I can’t wait to watch this over again and then try it.

    Have used Kumar on my alcohol ceramic tiles without problems. As matter of fact it was recommended by art companies for use on alcohol inks. Wonder if just that brand is an issue. Worked on brea reese, tim holtz, aet company without problems.

    Yes it is the brand that I was using the T-Rexinks does not work the same as ranger, if you look at my other to Tutorials you will see that I use ranger with kamar varnish and uv resistant made by krylon. 🖌🎨

    I enjoyed doing this with you! Tyfs! New sub ❤️ Regarding the sealing process.. I'm new and just getting my sealers in and I'm using pinata inks right now. Is the step you mentioned unique to the trex ink? My plan was to do the kamar varnish and then the uv archival spray. I'll definitely do a test piece first but I'm just clarifying that that tip was specifically for the trex inks.

    Thanks so much I'm so glad you enjoyed my tutorial, 🖌🎨 If you are using the T Rex inks then you need to use the sealer that I told you to...Otherwise with Pinatainks or Ranger inks the sealer that you're going to be using as just fine.🌊🌤🏝 Hope this helps.😉
