30 In 30 Observations & Outcomes

On Dec. 27th, I accepted Leslie’ Saeta’s Challenge of 30 Paintings in 30 Days.

I chose to paint 30 Alcohol Ink, Ceramic Tile Dreamscapes which are  posted at Daily Dreamscaping With June Rollins™

Here Are My 30 In 30 Observations & Outcomes

Observations

  1. Jan. was a fun, motivated month by having this common, public goal with over 200 other artists.
  2. As a result of this commitment, I planned better and painted more. For example, I knew I would be 1 week out of town mid-Jan., and painted ahead.
  3. Being specific helped me stay focused and meet my goal. The medium was alcohol inks, the brand Piñata and the substrate, ceramic tiles.
  4. There was a sense of accomplishment and relief at the end of 30 days and 30 paintings! 

Outcomes

  1. I really got to know and love Piñata, a richly pigmented, thicker alcohol ink.
  2. I also got to know and love working on ceramic tiles, which are considerably different from Yupo.
  3. I experimented and found sealants for UV protection and handling.
  4. I incorporated my 4″ and 6″ original art tiles into wooden boxes; open, hinged, keyed or with a removable jewelry tray.

New Facebook Group For Alcohol Ink Artists

There’s been a lot of interest in dreamscaping with alcohol Inks.

The first alcohol ink youtube I created has had over 4,000 views.

I’ve been inspired by what I’ve seen others create and wanted a centralized place where we could post and view our work.

So, I’ve just created:

Alcohol Ink Dreamscapes & More

A new facebook group for us to share our creations. The “More” is for artists using alcohol inks in a more abstract or representational way or on surfaces other than yupo. Metal, glass, jewelry, ceramics, etc.

I met an artist yesterday using alcohol inks on gourds :)

This is an open group, but only members can post.

Membership approved by admin, (me).

If you’re experimenting with alcohol inks and would like to share your creations and be inspired by others, this is a group to consider.

Get in on the ground level and let’s keep dreaming :)
