Omg I used to always watch your channel when I was like 12...you were what inspired me to start painting and I’ve been doing it ever since. I lost ur channel a couple years ago after I got a new phone but I’m so happy to see ur still doing good:)) your art has improved so so much this piece is amazing

One of my local art stores just added these inks to the shop floor and I was really curious about them, might check them out now!

Yep DR picked the perfect artist to showcase their products! I love re-discovering artists that influenced my early growth! I was also influenced by many of Rembrandt’s works! I am so glad paints and other supplies have matured and that you are able to continue to grow yourself and keep creating content for your channel and art journey! I am astounded by how much simple paints have changed. I will keep using watercolor paints because they have NOT Changed and I can fall back onto them for comfort in trying times! Like when I am working with a new medium and reach a frustrating point. You continue to “wow” me/us your viewers, Thanks for that! Now you go out and enjoy your day!

This piece is absolutely gorgeous! I really like where your art is going and all your latest pieces and I'm so glad to hear you say that you are proud of what you are creating because you've been too hard on yourself in the past! It brings me joy to see how much you are enjoying yourself recently! Keep going girl ❤❤

Ink is watered down paint #TechnicallyRight

I just got this brand of inks today and I love them. I used to use watercolors but struggled to have the control I wanted as they would either not blend or blend way to much. I used to use oils so I love layering as well. These inks flow exactly the way I want AND don't disturb what I've already done. I plan on using watercolors when I do want that disturbed effect but otherwise it's acrylic inks form now on. I can also do lineart with black first the way I love doing without worry the colors are going to disturb the (dried) black.

I was literally just thinking the other day about how to use my acrylic inks in future art and then this video appeared! Thank you for sharing all this information, your painting looks wonderful 👌👍🎨💜😊

Can we just admire how good of an artist Alice is Love u Alice ur such an inspiration u make me wanna get these inks

This is spectacular. I love what you did with the light. I know that’s hard to do. I own several of the inks but have been hesitant to use them because they are permanent so I really enjoyed watching what you did here. Thank you for the inspiration.

Gorgeous! I loved watching the textures come out in the sky and then as the petals of the flowers emerged. You may have talked me into trying a new medium!

HulloAlice you definitely deserve it! I am really happy you’re taking this new direction with your art, I think it’s making you one of the only bigger art channels I still enjoy because you aren’t doing these crazy unboxings and challenges and you’re doing more just like... art and exploration using materials, not making your art succumb to the new crazy materials

I have been using these inks for quite a while now and I absolutely love them. They make me so happy with their versatility and pigment. I have used them as watercolours though I am not particularly skilled in that use. I love the painting you did, gorgeous.

This is just gorgeous! You can feel the heat from the sun. I bought a lot of acrylic inks but haven’t tried them yet. I can’t wait to get them out.

I absolutely love this style that you've been exploring recently. To me it feels so you, if that makes sense? I've never used acrylic inks myself, but they look like a fun medium for sure!

Beautiful! I’m so intrigued with trying acrylic inks now myself, they look wonderful to work with

Man, this turned out so cool. I’ve recently bought these same type of inks and haven’t really used them because, funnily enough how permanent their layers are. 😂 It scares me. The ability to utterly obliterate the details and layers I’ve done before. By just building up the colors to true opaque. I use a mix of staining and non-staining watercolors. I know which ones move and save those for last... or for dramatic effects. The others for layering... etc. I’m almost tempted to pull them out again. This piece is utterly insane. Very cool. I’m definitely gonna look up this New artist too. You wield these inks very well. Definitely seems to be a great change for you. Gives you more options and allowed you not to be limited by your supplies. Excited to potentially see how this new technique will be used in your future work. Thanks for sharing.

You should check out Enrico Marini! He's an amazing comic artist who first introduced me to liquid acrylics. He prefers it for many of the same reasons you list here. It dries so fast he can hammer out pages while achieving a beautiful transparent/layered effect

I love what you made with these! The shading is gorgeous and I love the flowers in the bottom right! ❤️ I've only ever used them as drawing inks buy now I'm tempted to try painting with them myself!

Fabulous artwork and talented. You have inspired me to get my inks out. I love to let my inks merge with water, dry, then salt and more ink merge 🤗

I love this, watercolor techniques plus the ability to layer without lifting 😍

This is beautiful! I've never used inks before, but have been thinking about giving them a go. This really made me anxious to try. Thanks for sharing your amazing work!

oh my gosh, Miss Alice! this 'painting' is AMAZING! i wish i had a copy to hang in my room for inspiration!

Holy crap Alice! I loooveeee this piece! It's beautiful!!

Oh holy heck Alice, this is amazing! I'm a watercolorist of 3 years and have finally gained enough skills in general to take on Inktober and though I have a few DR FW Acrylic Inks, I was looking to purchase some more for the purposes of this month. Your video and the information shared was exactly what I was looking for! I am definitely subscribing to follow you and just wanted to say how much I appreciate all the info you shared and watching you paint this amazing portrait was so enjoyable! Keep up the amazing work and congrats on finding a new niche you love!

Beautiful art with the inks ! I used acrylic inks during my Inktober and now I really on love with them 😍 I guess I will use my inks more than my normal watercolors now. I couldn’t find those FW inks so I’m using another brand but also the same result! Thanks for sharing this video ! Learned a lot of those inks during the past month 👌🏻

Such a gorgeous piece!! Beautiful colors!

We have the same issues with watercolour! I’ve wanted to try acrylic inks forever, this is such an exciting video!!! Thanks for sharing your discovery!

This came out SO BEAUTIFUL!! Wow! Thank u SO much for sharing this with us!! LOVE IT!💯😍🎨👍✌

Glad I stumbled across your channel! Outstanding work! Beautiful!

I get inspired about your acrylic ink paintings and try them. Now i love them and use them all the time😍

This piece came out so beautifully 🤩 I also wish I would have found your channel before I bought a set of Koi watercolors as my first adult watercolor set. It's possible I'm really bad with them, but now that I see how watercolors are supposed to look in your videos, I have to acknowledge they just aren't very good. Unfortunate, but I discovered a love for watercolor pencils in the process of trying new mediums. You win some, you lose some.

Definitely needed a tutorial on how to use FW acrylic inks. Got some on discount and have yet to use them. Only familiar with acrylic paints and watercolor paintings. Layers! Thanks for your advice and painting!

This is so amazing! I want to get some acrylic inks now~ As soon as I get some money, I definitely will invest in these.

Your art is stunning. I subscribed. Thanks for this demo. I got acrylic inks for Christmas and I had no clue what to do with them. ❤️

Wow, stunning Alice! You keep growing, it's amazing ❤

Wow, simply stunning work. Truly amazing technique

Whaaaaaaat? I had no idea that acrylic ink could do all that!! This is gorgeous!! Now I want to try.. Lol

Wow, beautiful!! I think I want to try these!!❤️❤️❤️

Okay I love how talented you are. Your art is so beautiful. I clicked on your channel because we have the same name and fell in love with your art. I hope I can be a good artist like you one day.

Your art style has improved SO MUCH! WOW!!

I love the daler-rowney fw inks. I try to use them as often as I can!!

This has been really helpful, thank you! The piece is stunning as well

Beautiful! I want to try these acrylic inks!

Dang this is incredible!!

Wow, this is stunning, I love it!

I'm at last watching this video !! As an acrylic user, I was quite curious about this and it took me at least half of the video to understand how it must feel like :D Indeed, it seems to closer to gouache but without the inconvenient of gouache being... How did you say ? Rewritable ? Haha. And once again, that's a really beautiful piece ! It doesn't surprise me that it took you 15 hours to complete. We can see so much how it built up little by little, with a lot of layers work. But for that reason, it was quite magic to watch

A beautiful piece. Well done.

wow what a beautiful piece!

This looks sooo incredible, you really got me inspired to paint Like right now

She turned out beautiful. Love those colors. Red is my fav. So this pallet is right up my ally. ( Pun P LOL) I would like to try these inks. I like to layer a lot. So these might be good for me. TYFS

Natural flair for using any kind of watercolor & inks. Beautiful painting

absolutely stunning Alice

If you really like the idea of permanent watercolors the derwent inktense are also a good choice. They behave more like watercolors but are also permanent once applied to the paper

The colours are amazing your very talented artist

Wow, great talent girl. Keep it going.👍👍

Omg thankyou? I am really digging the outline style thing as well! It's making me really inspired and I'm super excited to play even more with it! It's like I get to take the things of lineart I like and do totally different things with them instead of what I used to do because it was the "normal" way to go about it, if that makes sense? I'm just really happy with how my style is becoming more cohesive and unified and i'm more and more inspired by things every day and it just means so much to me that you are also noticing some of those stylistic components that I'm repeating and that you also appreciate them! ugh i love you

HulloAlice Yaassss girl you’re killin it, love you too! I’ve watched your artwork just consistently improve over the years and you have most definitely developed a style. Like if you put 5 pieces of art in front of me and I didn’t know whose is whose I could pick out which one you did in a second. I am loving it and I can’t wait to see more!

Ive used apple barrel acrylic paints as watercolors, i mixed some of it with water and went for it. It works really well, esspecially for salt and nail polish remover effects. They can hold for as long as there is water (i had little tiny jars/containers, so i put a drop or 2 of the acrylic paint and half a pipette or more of water, mixed it and used it and it kept for a long while.) It works for any acrylic paint from what ive seen. Its alot of fun!

The problem is the acrylic will break down over time with that much water mixed in. 🙂

Wow! I just got Somme of these inks. Beautiful work!! What is the whit you use at the end for the highlights?

I’ve been doing this for a years. Acrylic ink is my favorite supply.

Consider looking into keep wet pallettes for these. I have one for my regular acrylics, that wouldn't work for inks because it has no wells but I'm sure there are options with wells out there :) Also I've never even thought of acrylic inks that way, always kinda wondered what their purpose was. I own a sinlge white one for highlights, but I'm extremely excited to try this since I hate disturbing lower layers.

This is so so gorgeous. I don’t usually buy art (fairly broke uni student) but I would absolutely buy this piece!! Do you have prints available or will you in the future?

How quickly do these dry on the paper? And how soon until they have dried in the palette? I bought some acrylic gouache to use as an underpainting for my gouache, but the drying time is so bloody fast that I can't really blend much. Your painting looks really cool! I love the comic-like effect you added at the end.

Loved your video and your painting! Do you suppose you could use acrylic inks to paint on a canvas if you used a watercolor ground on the canvas first?

Never stop calling out overrated art supplies. I started following your channel after watching your video on overrated art supplies, and that's the reason I ended up buying White Knights as my first watercolor set.

Well done, thank you. Do you need to use WC paper or can you get the WC effect on canvas?

That's kinda how the Derwent Inktense pencils work too. They're like watercolor pencils but once they dry, you can layer over it without losing what's underneath. I like to scribble them out on sandpaper and use it like watercolor.

Fabulous

Would a wet palette be more helpful for the inks to not dry as fast? Stunning work

I like this piece a lot! You also made me want to buy these even though I'm broke and slightly intimidated by them. 😂

You can make your own :) Search up how to make acrylic inks... I have made my own and they work awesome

This looks like the balance between watercolor and gouache but you can't rewet them. I can deal with the dry time if I can make both consistencies as I prep before I work anyway. I like use as many mediums to achieve whatever look I'm going for and this could change a few things for me. I'm gonna try these I'm excited.

LOVE

This is beautiful..how do these inks compare to gouache?

I am usually not attracted to anything warm for some reason but this really is beautiful.

@polenya1000

inks tend to be less opaque and are liquid. practically it means that if you want more opaque ink you'll have to be mindful of which ink youre buying (otherwise you will need to work light to dark). and since gouache is thick and paste like you can use pallet knifes and techniques that resemble work with acrylic paint on top of using techniques similar to watercolour. a big plus for ink is that due to its high pigment, a small bottle can last for a really long time (especially if you use it like watercolour). while i find that gouache basically disintegrates while im working on a painting... (especially if you'll be mixing a lot of custom colours). lastly, ink doesn't crack and doesn't need any type of glaze or varnish, while some types of acrylic gouache will crack if handled poorly, and may need a layer of glaze/varnish to finish it off. tl;dr- ink lasts a long time, you can layer it basically endlessly, won't crack, doesn't need glaze, but it isn't always opaque so you might still need to work light to dark. gouache is much more opaque, you can use both acrylic and watercolour techniques on it, might crack if handled poorly, may need varnish, but it tends to run out more quickly. i hope this helps!

I just bought one of the system 3 in carmine res to try, are they different to the F3?

How do these compare to acryla gouache? I love ink and primarily work with it, and love traditional gouache but for some reason acryla gouache just dries way too fast for me (I also am inexperienced in it). I really am eager to try these 🌼

amazing

I 100% love it! I am interested in acrylic ink because I have experience with acrylic paint? Can still achieve the same effects with acrylic paint? Also, Alice I have a learning disability and I'm slow. I'm 21 years old and I want to practice and still have fun drawing things for my comic and illustrations based my characters and their world because I want to work with a publishing company called Saturday AM. I know artists say focus on the basics but which ones in order should I practice on? I spoke to an art professor at my university and she said start with basic shapes. But what comes after that which I'm unsure of.

Hi! i was wondering, how do clean brushes and palettes used with acrylic inks? being permanent once dried, would they ruin a watercolor brush? Thanks.

so with waterbrushes i take acrylic paint that is thick an ill add some to waterbrush an fill also with water shake it up good an omg just wow been doing this for a good few years an they dont clog at all the color mixes r amazing u should try it out i use it as my own water colors😁🖌🖊🦄

Do you still gesso a canvas when using acrylic ink?

Love this painting. Its beautiful and sooooo huge... I'm to afraid to try to draw and paint that big xD Now I want to buy these xD after your last video I wanted to buy the other ones (system 3 inks I think?) What is the difference between them?

@HulloAlice

4 жыл бұрын

The last ones are the aquafine! The aquafine are watercolor inks so they're essentially liquid watercolors, and they rewet sooooo nicely! These are the FW inks which are fluid acrylic inks that have a range of opacities! The System 3 ink video hasn't come out yet but I've shared it on my Instagram - system 3 are also acrylic inks but they are all super opaque! So that's the differences! They are all pigment based. Let me know if you have any other questions, I know entirely too much now about all the inks 😂😂 I've been working with them for months now!

@@HulloAlice thank you for clarifying this. I think I saw the system 3 on Instagram then. (I loved that opaque medium and corresponding painting you did!)

Hi I love your videos so much♥️ I was just wondering if anyone has any tips on proportion's for faces 😊

This is how I use my Bombay India inks. I can't get truly opaque colors, but I layer to my hearts content.

Thank you for explaining the reason to use alcohol ink instead of acrylic inks..
