7x5 alcohol inks on Yupo synthetic paper done a few days ago as I'd not done any of that medium in awhile. These florets resembled the hydrangea bloom; only one color was used, then one color for the stem.

Sunflower Seeds ~ alcohol inks on Yupo
7x11 alcohol inks; so here is number 4, another so called floral using Pinata brand alcohol inks begun yesterday then finished today. With it, I focused on its centre rather than petals, having patterning and design elements closely focused. This is my last sheet of Yupo so it was cut in half. I did use a wooden chopstick to apply ink rather than the plastic bottle tip for a lessened amount and smaller dots.

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.

Poppy Persuasion in alcohol inks
5.5x8.5 alcohol inks on white foamcore done a few days ago, my first experiment with using Pinata inks. Using a scrap of material I cleaned the surface with rubbing alcohol then spritzed it over, applying paint near the centre. Tilting it caused the very transparent medium to blend and move. I put two shades of red and one magenta along with yellow to form the focal point. Dark blue and black were applied when dry for the stamens. To me it resembled a poppy, hence the title. Stay tuned for the second AI, also another floral, but a vivid sunflower.
