ACRYLIC INKS ON PHOTO PAPER

 This is another use for the amazing Acrylic Inks that are made by various companies. For my samples, I used the Liquitex ones exclusively this time. I found the metallics didn't spread as well as the normal inks but are ok when used as an accent. For the substrate, I used Kirkland Photo Paper and yes, I used both sides because they give very different results! I think I love the black ones the best and don't ask me how I got the 2 moons in the first example below, I have no idea as it was one of those happy accidents that you just run with.

"Not what they seem"


"No angel"


"No possible escape"
(You can see the metallic copper on this one doesn't spread
like the other normal colours do, but it's ok as a secondary
accent colour)


"Aquaholic"
(I loved how this one looked like water splashing up!)


"Just another insect"
(This is the back side of the photo paper, it gives
a very different look to the glossy front of the photo paper)


"Mood: nah"
(Another one where I used the back of the photo paper)


"Today is the tomorrow"


"Life looks better"


Finally, a card that I made using one of the atc
samples from this technique to use on a card instead
of an atc.  In each class, I try to make a card to
build up my card stash using one of my atc's 
from every technique.
