Alcohol Ink eBook
Giraffe By Wanda Stewart
Materials: 5 x 7 inch Yupo, Adirondack Inks: Watermelon, Aqua, Raspberry, Sunset Orange, Sunshine Yellow, Pool, Clover, Stream, Meadow, Pinata Ink: Rich Gold, Black gel pen, Q-tips, Blending Solution, masking fluid, pencil for sketch. Method: I first sketched the giraffe then randomly dropped the various colors of ink trying to stay within the sketched giraffe. After the inks had dried (about 15 minutes) I dipped a Q-tip in the blending solution to remove the ink from around the sketch. I then put masking fluid over the sketched giraffe and let it dry. I added the background by pouring Stream, Clover, Meadow and Rich Gold and tipping the Yupo on an angle. After the background was dry, I removed the masking fluid and used the black gel pen for the eyes and nostrils. Wstewart10@stny.rr.com
