I was quite intrigued by Deb's beautiful "Pinata" alcohol paintings on Yupo, but not having 'Pinata' paints I decided to experiment on Yupo with regular watercolour paints , using the rubbing alcohol instead of water. I found it an enjoyable experiment but unfortunately I didn't get the excellent results that Deb achieved . The first stage when dry was too blobby so I sprayed some water/alcohol on it , let it dry and it evened out some. I am going to experiment more with this as I do think with practice one could achieve some interesting results as the alcohol seems to make the paint more vibrant .
First stage ... and the second ... .. neither one is good but it was an interesting and fun experiment. |
