 Art resin alcohol ink is a highly saturated, dramatic colorant for your art. Art made with alcohol ink is vibrant, mesmerizing, fun to make, and easy. In this video, we'll show you a variety of ways you can use alcohol ink to make amazing works of art. Petri dish art like this is made by encasing alcohol ink in art resin. To make it, you'll need art resin alcohol ink, ink sinker, art resin epoxy resin, and a silicone mold. Oh, and some disposable gloves and mixing accessories. Supplies can be found on artresin.com. First, mix up a batch of art resin according to the instructions. Basically, after warming up the bottles in some water, with your gloves on, just measure out 50% resin and 50% hardener, and stir slowly and thoroughly for three full minutes. This will catalyze the mixture so that it will eventually cure. Pour the mixture into your mold about halfway. Then, just drop in your favorite colors straight from the alcoholic bottles, and use the ink sinker to push the colors through the resin. This is the key to getting those squiggles, tendrils, and branch-like effects in your art. A good ratio to go by is two color drops to one ink sinker drop, and it's best to aim for no more than 45 drops per 4-inch mold so that the resin cure can still happen as planned. By switching up a few small details, you can achieve different results. For example, try dripping the ink sinker first, and then the color to see that effect. You can try using no ink sinker if you like the look of the alcohol ink just sitting on the surface of the resin. You can choose to pre-mix your colors with the ink sinker in a separate container if you want pastel or tinted colors with no visible white showing. Lastly, you may notice that the colors spread well in resin that has just been mixed. If you want to keep them more contained, wait 30 minutes and then do your drops. This way time will allow some curing to occur, which will make it harder for the colors to spread. No matter how you decide to go about your Petri dish art, all options are beautiful and fun to make. When you're finished, cover the entire mold to protect it from dust and wait about 24 hours. The next day, you can de-mold your piece and see how they turned out. There are other awesome things you can do with Art resin alcohol ink. They work exceptionally well on Yupo paper, which is a plastic-based paper. The ink will sit on top without soaking in, and the colors stay vibrant. Ink sinker can be used as a white alcohol ink on Yupo. We recommend mounting your alcohol ink Yupo-based designs on wood panel and coating with Art resin epoxy resin to see those colors really pop. You can experiment with collage and other substrates to make the art you want. All the supplies seen here are available on ArtRisen.com.
