Today I would like to show you two alcohol ink paintings of opposite temperature along with some presentation suggestions. Considering how fast alcohol dries during the painting process, ink flow art is not really suitable to large format artwork. Besides being cost prohibitive as well, alcohol inks are not very lightfast.

Luckily, we can easily take our original art to the local copy shop, where we can have it scanned and printed out with archival inks in any size we desire, giving us the kind of display options we like. Since we make prints anyway, we might as well forgo the mailing of the physical artwork to the collector and sell high resolution scans packaged as NFTs instead. If you like you can buy a scan of "Autumn Bouquet" at the NFT Showroom.
 

Heute möchte ich euch zwei Alkoholtintenbilder von entgegengesetzter Temperatur zusammen mit einigen Präsentationsvorschlägen zeigen. Wenn man bedenkt, wie schnell Alkohol während des Malvorgangs trocknet, ist Ink Flow Art nicht wirklich für großformatige Kunstwerke geeignet. Alkoholtinten sind nicht nur kostspielig, sondern auch nicht besonders lichtecht.

Glücklicherweise können wir unsere Originalwerke problemlos zu einem Copyshop am Ort bringen, wo wir sie einscannen und mit Archivtinte in jeder gewünschten Größe ausdrucken lassen können, so dass wir die gewünschten Präsentationsmöglichkeiten haben. Da wir ohnehin Drucke anfertigen, können wir auch auf den Versand der physischen Kunstwerke an den Sammler verzichten und stattdessen hochauflösende Scans in Form von NFTs verkaufen. Wenn ihr mögt, könnt ihr im NFT Showroom einen Scan von "Autumn Bouquet" kaufen.

Large prints on poster board are an eyecatcher suitable for modern decors.
Großformatige Drucke auf Kappa-Board sind ein Blickfang mit jedem modernen Dekor.

By placing them in a stylish frame we can add a high perceived value to smaller prints...
Indem wir sie stilvoll einrahmen, können wir den empfundenen Wert kleinerer Drucke erhöhen...

...as long as the frame matches the style of the painting and both harmonize with the decor.
...solange der Rahmen stilistisch zum Gemälde passt und beide mit dem Dekor harmonieren.

As you can see in this example, the above principles hold true for pretty much any painting.
Wie ihr an diesem Beispiel seht, sind die obigen Prinzipien auf praktisch jedes Gemälde anwendbar.

Wow this is very pretty Caro! I love the warm colours of the first painting and generally the fluidity of the ink.🌻

Thank you. I like alcohol inks, because they are so unpredictable and dry faster than I can think. That puts a lot of spontaneity in the painting process - use it, or lose it. A kind of meditation under duress :) The outcome is very much reminiscent of watercolor, only, the alcohol is even more capricious.

@caro-art That sounds awesome and makes sense that you like it because of that reason. I never tried alcohol inks, but I'm getting curious about it 😊

Give it a shot. A few inks, a liter of isopropylalcohol, and a pad of artificial paper (e.g. "Steinpapier" around here) will get you started. Use a curling blower, not a hair dryer, to manipulate the ink. (They're not as hot and strong as hair dryers.)

Alright, I will keep it in mind and look for the materials. Thank you for sharing your art and giving inspiration! 😊

Wonderful
