alcohol ink

Hello, friends and neighbors! A couple of weeks ago, I worked on some new stuff with alcohol ink. When I worked with it before, I had only tried one technique. I wanted to make an actual picture, so I used a paintbrush to apply the ink to the tiles. The end result was a four part series that my friend Bria has named "Majesty." The images go from coast to coast: a sunrise over the ocean (east coast), a bean field (mid), purple mountains (west), and a forest of trees (west coast).

They are definitely not perfect, but I think they turned out alright! The pictures don't look quite as good as they do in person (you know, lighting and stuff). I am excited to try more techniques and see what other cool things I can do with alcohol ink!
