Painting a VERY LARGE minimalist Alcohol ink piece/ THEME: LESS IS MORE not as easy as it looks [64]

ALCOHOL INK ART
It is not as easy as it looks.....
It Always looks so easy when we see alcohol ink tutorials on Youtube.
And when we are complete alcohol ink beginners - or maybe haven't even tried ink yet - we think that it's so easy that we should be able to create amazing pieces in 10-15 min....... NOT..!!

Yes, on occasion we are able to make a beatuiful alcohol ink painting relatively fast, because things just went our way that day.
But more often than not, we have to spend some time and do the hard work in order to make it happen.

When artist upload their youtube tutorials, they want to show you all the good stuff. The beautiful pieces, the cool techniques - often with all the "mistakes" edited out.

You don't want people to see you mess up or see you struggle.
In the beginning of my Youtube eventure - I was like that too.

But.... We all mess up. We all struggle. We all make ugly things.

Why? Because ALCOHOL INK IS HARD. Fact.
Of Couse the more you practice and the more you learn, the easier it gets.
But no matter how experienced you are, there will always be struggles.
There will always be times where things doesn't go you way.
And that is exactly what happened to me in this video.

I've done this wispy technique a 1000 times before - but on this day I struggled - did everything over and over again because it just didn't look the way I wanted it to.
But I didn't give up. I knew how I wanted this to end up, so I took some deep breaths, excepted the fact that this was not going to be easy and I just kept on working.

And I struggled.... but after several hours..... I was happy.
And the struggle was SO WORTH IT. I was happy with my big piece.

So if you are struggling a lot.... you are not alone. We all do from time to time. But every time we do, we learn something. So I believe it's worth it.

I hope you liked this little video - and find comfort in knowing that you are not alone.

Alcohol ink is hard - that's just the way it is.
