I should begin by stating I am not an artist. I've very recently been experimenting with abstract art and art journaling using watercolors, but I saw a review of this book and was intrigued to learn more about the use of alcohol inks. My book arrived yesterday, and I was impressed from the moment I started reading through it. The author/artist does an exceptional job of explaining this art form and I particularly like her attitude regarding process over product when approaching art. I was so impressed with this book, I actually ordered a second copy for my sister who happens to be an artist with a Masters Degree in Art Education. I'm eager to hear her reaction to this book, but I'm guessing it will be similar to mine. I am hoping to transform an area of my garage into a small studio area for my blossoming interest in watercolor (and now alcohol inks) as art mediums. The book is full of examples presented by a variety of artists working with alcohol inks and the photos are both inspiring and beautiful. Instructions for exploring alcohol inks are clearly explained and the author's enthusiasm is contagious. I would highly recommend this volume for both the established artist AND the person new to painting or expressing themselves via art.
Love this book - my introduction into alcohol inks. Thanks for your open sharing of fun techniques - so far I've tried only a few and I love it.
I took a workshop focused on alcohol inks with Cathy 2 years ago, and she told us she was working on this book at the time so I kept looking for it and then pre-ordered it. Well worth the wait! The workshop was fantastic, and this book does a great job of summarizing what can be done with this great art medium. And it does what few art books do - it could stand alone completely as an accessible and well explained "how-to" guide OR as a beautiful compilation of gorgeous pieces of artwork that you'll just want to pick up and look at over and over! This is a favorite now of all my art books!
What fun I had with the techniques in this book and playing with the Yupo paper. I'm more of a realist so this was a real stretch for me, but I loved it. Using a straw and blowing through it to create flowers?! Magical.
Wonderful book that shows how to use alcohol inks. There are not a lot of books on the market for this medium yet but this one covers a lot of information and techniques on how to use alcohol inks. It has beautiful step by step techniques includes It is very inspiring.
Great book! Beautiful, easy to follow directions. So many techniques. Have taken 2 workshops with Cathy, and this is a good reference for the many techniques we learned. Cathy is a funny, generous, and down to earth teacher. If you ever have the chance to take one of her workshops, DO IT!
Cathy has done a wonderful job presenting numerous, fun ways to work with alcohol inks. She has included works by several artists encompassing a variety of styles and techniques. There is something for everyone in her clearly explained, beautifully designed book. If you want a good foundation on making the most out of this fascinating medium, invest in Cathy's book and follow her advice to, 'Simply Start.'
This book is beautifully done with great instructions and pictures. I'm getting ready to try all the techniques. You can't help wanting to try what's presented in the book after reading it!
