Can You Use Delaminating Inks on an Acrylic Background?
One of my Texture Lab students recently asked me a lovely question: could the delaminating inks I used over a cold wax and oils background also be used on acrylics?
I was curious too, so I took the question into my studio and had a little experiment.
The inks behave differently on an acrylic surface, but that is often where the interesting things happen. I love these small experiments, you begin with a question, try something without knowing exactly where it will lead, and suddenly a new possibility opens up.
Watch the video below to see the process and what I discovered.
Sometimes it is worth trying the same material on a completely different surface. You may be surprised by what happens.
If you would like to try out the inks, use MTVBINKS10 to get 10% off your first order! The video below is not a promo, just me testing, but the manufacturer of the inks liked the video so much they sent me a code for my students! You can explore the inks HERE
A little note about The Texture Lab
This experiment began with a question from one of my Texture Lab students, and I love that. Sometimes a simple question sends me back to the studio to try something new.
Inside The Texture Lab, we paint together each month, explore materials and techniques, and make space for those little creative discoveries along the way.
