Frilly Indigo Flower

7x5 alcohol inks on Yupo synthetic paper done last week, another in my abstract ink floral series.  With this one I started with Willow, a very pale transparent soft green, added blending solution then Indigo blowing towards the top using canned air.  Lastly the stem was made using an old dried up felt tip marker moistened with Botanical ink and Lime Green ink.  Edges cleaned using 91% alcohol on tip of a cotton swab applicator.  No pencil drawings are done first using this medium.

Blue Song (tulip)

6x6 alcohol inks on foamcore board done yesterday for a cool hues abstract floral resembling a tulip.  Using indigo ink over teal blue background, I directed canned air at the bottom forcing ink to spread out and upwards.  Bubbles were made be spritzing 91% alcohol over its base.

Indigo Tulip

7x5 alcohol inks on Yupo, synthetic paper, painted Tuesday night.  I have used Indigo ink and Emerald ink colors along with canned air to blow from its base upwards.  Background is left the white of the Yupo.  Although there are black tulips I've not ever seen an indigo hued bloom.

Indigo Iris

7x11 alcohol inks on Yupo medium weight synthetic paper done this afternoon as I was in an iris mood.  They're blooming everywhere you look.  With this floral abstraction I've used three colors of ink:  Indigo, Eggplant, and Watermelon.  Canned air was used to blow the ink from the bottom up and the white of the paper is its only background for simplicity.
