Day 199: Welcome Spring in Alcohol Ink on Yupo Paper

I have been busy with the ink. Come check out my new stuff on Etsy.

Day 198: Dream of Spring in Alcohol Ink on Yupo Paper

The early bird catches the worm. Now off to run errands so I can get back and paint alllllll afternoon!

Day 197: Fish School in Alcohol Ink on Yupo Paper

Crazzeeeee day! So I went for loose and fish. This is probably the 5th version of what I wanted to create. Sometimes it “just happens”, sometimes you keep trying and trying and you have to stop and revisit it another time.

Day 196: Wishing Waterfall in Alcohol Ink on Yupo Paper (not for sale)

Having fun with different subjects and new techniques.

Day 195: Walk With Me in Alcohol Ink on Yupo Paper

This started out as edamame. I was not happy with it at all. So I inked all over it and this path and trees revealed itself. It looks like somewhere I would like to explore. The size is 2.5 x 3.5, mini painting.

Day 194: Electric Fish in Alcohol Ink on Yupo Paper

Hoping to add several new pieces to my Etsy store this weekend. Stay tuned…

Day 193: Chianti Corner in Alcohol Ink on Yupo Paper

Inspired by Jana I did some googling and found a photo taken by Gary Yeowell of a farmhouse and vineyard near Pansano, Italy. Still not able to control the ink quite like I want to.

Day 192: Three Trees in Alcohol Ink on Yupo Paper

Still experimenting and trying to control the ink.

Day 191: She Dances Alone in Alcohol Ink on Yupo Paper

Trying out different subject matter with the inks.

Day 190: Not Bevo in Alcohol Ink on Yupo Paper

He didn’t turn out like I wanted but you can at least tell what it is. Controlling this ink is a chore. And not working from a sketch, just free handing makes it an even more challenging combination. If you don’t know who Bevo is, Google it.
