I don't know how I missed posting this earlier. When I was getting ready to teach the alcohol ink class I tried painting on yupo with the alcohol inks. In case you don't know...yupo is a synthetic paper which is sort of like painting on plastic. I've painted on it before with watercolors, but they puddle much more than the alcohol inks and dry much slower. I liked using the inks on the yupo and hope to do more of these. This is 5 x 7.
Dear Joan gorgeous landscape. I have never tried alcohol inks. Your work is inspiring me to try using them. Hope your class was super! Hugs
ReplyDeleteThanks, Debbie. The class was really good. I think everyone enjoyed it.
DeleteI love the effect with yupo. A few people that I know work with it and I love the way it looks when they finish.. More please...lol. This is beautiful!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHilda, thanks. I just love the vibrant colors.
DeleteI love your experiments with Yupo and alcohol inks! I've been trying out a little sketchbook made with Yupo pages. . .very weird paper! It works well with pencil and ballpoint, but most pens take forever to dry.
ReplyDeleteTina, you're right. Yupo is very weird paper. lol You have to give up control. Thanks.
DeleteThe colors are very vibrant and beautiful, I love the effects you obtained. Beautiful landscape painting, Joan! Look forward to seeing more.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Celia. Maybe I'll do one tomorrow when I'm stuck inside in the snow.
DeleteJust beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jo.
DeleteThis piece is great Joan. Such a super job on the whole thing but especially the sky and the mountains.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Val. I had more control on the yupo than on the tiles.
