Alcohol Inks on Yupo Paper


https://www.etsy.com/listing/232060137/coconut-palm-tree-3-original-alcohol?ref=shop_home_active_5

I have been having lots of fun playing with this newly discovered medium, alcohol inks on Yupo paper which is made from polypropylene and has a nice, slick surface (non absorbent) to work on.  The alcohol inks are dyes immersed in alcohol and can be dripped, scraped with a card, and led around the paper with household items like cotton swabs and markers.  I don't even use a brush with this technique.  But, the best method is loading up an old tooth brush with a little alcohol and raking your finger across it to create little droplets that create exciting effects on the paper!!  Hope you will enjoy these new pieces of art :-)
