This is an unedited video where I discuss how I like to use acrylic inks in my art and creative process.
We do some swatching, and I show you artwork that I have previously painted, using acrylic inks. I show you a few different ways I like to use them.
I choose a card from my Art Poetry artist card deck and talk about the use of acrylic inks in the card.
I share my favourite way to clean my brush on a side piece of paper, while I'm swatching. I use this paper to create backgrounds for new paintings or tear it up for collage.
