We all have those moments when we just start creating and aren't totally sure which direction we're headed. I watched a great alcohol ink video the other day where the artist made this beautiful piece outlining some of the ink blobs to transform them into gorgeous leaves and flowers. I thought to myself, "Cool! I think I'll channel that into an ATC." Yeah, well, hmmmm....
It ends up that I don't have fine enough pens to doodle on Yupo paper on such a small canvas (most of my black pens smeared on it). I ran into some other interesting ah-ha moments while creating this, too.
- Archival ink can be removed with alcohol
- Alcohol inks leave behind a shadow of color when removed (which is kinda pretty in real life)
- Copic markers don't blend on Yupo paper but leave behind cool, brush-like marks
The final result looks like this:
Major lesson learned is that I should stick to doodling on a larger canvas (hence the 'Note to Self' sticker). 😜
In spite of my trepidation in sharing this, I'm going to enter it in the Rubber Dance monthly challenge. What the heck - you only live once!
