Ink Art: Silver Copper Snowflakes Paintings
I made new ink art. This time I used my black paper. The paper and ink were made by Pixiss. With black paper, I usually oversaturate it with rubbing alcohol. This allows the ink to flow a lot easier. I made videos of both paintings. You can see them in my Youtube and Tiktok Artsy Sister channels. Now, let us talk about the paintings in specific. The one with two snowflakes I made it by spraying white. Once the background was nice and lively, I used white ink to draw the snowflakes. I then painted over...

I made new snowflake art. It seemed like something fun to do this Christmas season. Snowflakes are pretty universals. So, I hope you find this type of artwork amusing. I used pixiss ink and paper.

Ink Art: Snowflakes White and Pink Paintings
I made new ink art. Since it is Christmas time, I decided to paint snowflakes. I had never done snowflakes ink art. So, it was an interesting project. I learned as I went.

Starting with the first painting, I had no idea how I was going to make it. I started by saturating the paper with ink. I added blue ink. I curved the paper...
Ink Art: Blue and Red Nebula Paintings
This is my latest ink art. It is loosely inspired in space. It is a lot of fun to paint with black paper. It makes the colors pop. Sometimes I need to add white ink into the mix to brighten the colors. The pink ink tends to look orange on black paper. So, this is something to consider when working with black paper. The paper and ink I used was made by pixiss. For the time being, I have been using the biggest paper. The bigger the paper, the more ink I have to use to...
