Hello everyone!
The other day I wanted to experiment with acrylic inks. I have a few colors that I have not tried out yet. I did not have anything in particular in mind, but while going through my stash of art supplies I came across a bag of colorful flower ephemera (originally bought to create greeting cards). These sparked an idea! I thus set about to create these semi-abstract collages with "messy" ink backgrounds with additional marks made with crayons, pens and stamps, topped off with little flower clusters.
What I learned from this experiment was that some inks are more transparent than others. Yes, I know there is an indication on the bottle, but since I watered the inks down I got a different result as opposed to using them straight from the bottle. Surprisingly, the bright green turned out yellow on the page and the yellow ochre mixed with neon pink results in an orange-y color, which is quite appealing.
Most of all, I really enjoyed making these little collages!
I love these. You are very talented
