@Rajan Seth thanks! This is a completed painting where I used alcohol ink (not acrylic ink, and that could be my problem 🤔) It turned out decent, but I had to do little sections and tough to get the long flow. The ink also kept getting absorbed quickly by the primed canvas.I cant wait to try what you suggested! So excited to be a part of this group 😁

@Uresha Patel I use spackling or ready-mixed drywall joint compound. You can buy it at any of the home goods stores, very inexpensive and works great!

Just was awarded first prize, in my first show for my Dream painting. So excited!!

@Rajan Seth I absolutely love vibrant, rich coastal colors. We travel to the USA gulf coast multiple times a year, and I always come back with more ideas. I "Dream" of these adventures 😁 This painting reminds me of an arial view of islands and the coast. I have an idea of commissioning paintings to reflect a client's personal experiences, perhaps a favorite or memorable trip, arial view 🤔 Im currently working on my website, inspired by the look and feel of yours! I love your social media!

I typically do abstract on canvas. I use plaster-like substrates to create heavy texture and depth. I love metallics, foils, epoxy, alcohol inks. One of my struggles with starting to use alcohol inks is to get the ink to flow over any significant distance across the canvas. I have tried different alcohol/ink/water combinations but haven't found the right mix. I love the vibrant colors that alcohol inks bring to my work. The end of 2026 I will be stepping away from my sales career in Ohio, USA to focus on my art, so excited! Thank you for creating this group. I absolutely love the work you do! Shelly

My latest 3-peice canvas that shows my love for the gulf cost! Vibrant colors. Does anyone have an opinion on framing them? I like how they flow together without a frame, but not sure?
