9x12 alcohol inks on paper done partly yesterday and finished today; also I added black India ink for the darkest dark. Blending solution was dripped onto the black area to cause separation and this can be seen clearer if you click on the image. I scattered 91% alcohol droplets all over to indicate water bubbles. No reference was used or any drawing for this abstract that reminds me of seaweed or kelp underwater. Here I've used 4 different green inks: Willow, Botanical, Lime, and Forest.
