September Sunflower ~ alcohol inks on Yupo

7x11 alcohol inks on Yupo done tonight as a demo for Big Spring Art Association and also for day #20 with Leslie Saeta 30 day challenge.  Beginning with yellow dropped onto alcohol prepped Yupo, quickly added magenta then red.  When about dry, blue was put in for the third primary color, resulting in green.  The group seemed to enjoy seeing new products used to create art.

Abstract Sunflower ~ alcohol inks on Yupo

6.5x11 alcohol inks created a few days ago on Yupo, a synthetic plastic paper.  After spritzing with rubbing alcohol in a mister bottle, I dropped yellow, blue and red inks, letting them run and blend while tilting.  Inks dry very fast so next I did the centre in several shades of reds; yellow was dropped in on top as was green.  Small dots of rainforest green details put in around the sphere.  I used Pinata brand inks by Jacquard.  This is the second floral experiment.  Today I did a larger sunflower so will show it later.  Stay tuned.  I'm loving the vivid hues of these inks and the overall free spontaneous look made with no pencil or brush.
