Jim shares a new method for using Alcohol Ink.
Alcohol inks are fast-drying, highly pigmented, alcohol-based inks that are great to use on any hard, non-porous surface including glass, metal, plastic, ceramic, stone, leather and polymer clay. Once the ink is applied, the alcohol evaporates, leaving the dye behind.
We like to use it on Stone Paper, Yuppo and canvas we prepare using Kilz Primer.
Alcohol Inks are highly-pigmented, acid-free, and fast drying inks that work on non-porous surfaces. They mix well and create vivid marble-like effects on many unique mediums.

The ways you can use alcohol inks are pretty endless. Before we get into that, let’s breakdown some of the supplies you’ll need for your project.
The alcohol also evaporates much faster, which means that the paints dry within a few minutes. Unlike acrylic paints, however, alcohol inks can be “revived”. This means that when dried ink comes into contact with fresh ink or pure alcohol, it reacts and can be further processed. In this way, different techniques are possible.
