Abstracts using Acrylics Inks & Mineral Paper

I very much enjoyed using the mineral paper with the acrylic inks--it is amazing how they run and bleed on this "stone" paper! I also tried some samples using Dr. P.H. Martin's India Ink. Abstracts using Acrylics Inks & Mineral Paper - image 1 - student project

I used yellow green and Payne's Gray Daler & Rowney acrylic inks and Amsterdam's Light Gold Metallic Ink on this one (above).Abstracts using Acrylics Inks & Mineral Paper - image 2 - student project

I used Burnt Sienna, Scarlet and Payne's Gray Daler & Rowney acrylics inks as well as Amsterdam's Light Gold Metallic Ink--I used the end of my brush for the wispy marks drawing the tip through the wet paint. This one should be in portrait mode rather than landscape. Abstracts using Acrylics Inks & Mineral Paper - image 3 - student projectOn this one, I used Lemon Yellow and Payne's Gray (hence the green color) Daler & Rowney acrylic inks with a silver paint by Peerless.  The silver didn't move very well; but when it did spread on the wet paint, it had a lovely sheen on the painting that can't be seen in the photograph.  This time, I used a graphite pencil to run through the wet paint.Abstracts using Acrylics Inks & Mineral Paper - image 4 - student project

I used Denise's method for making stripes of color one line at a time using Shimmery Blue, Cyan and Payne's Gray Daler & Rowney inks with Posca pen white accent marks. I am not sure which ink caused the lovely granulation of the Payne's Gray that I hadn't noticed with any other example (maybe the Shimmery Blue).Abstracts using Acrylics Inks & Mineral Paper - image 5 - student project

This was another line-by-line painting; but this time, I used Dr. P.H. Martin's India ink for this experiment. I also used the same Light Gold acrylic ink by Amsterdam which behaved a little differently on India ink--notice how it broke up into small particles!

This one was also done with India ink by Dr. P.H. Martin - the colors are: Magenta, black and white.  The white ink fell to the bottom and would only show after I blotted some of the black ink away.  This too produced different effects in the paint. I also used a white Posca pen for dots. It was so much fun discovering the differences in the various paints on mineral paints--thank you, Denise!
