In Francine’s demonstration, she highlights the use of Graphix Dura-Lar to make stencils for alcohol ink painting. Dura-Lar is a polyester film that provides superior clarity and stability for high-heat applications. It is extremely durable and resistant to tearing, making it ideal for creating intricate stencil designs. Additionally, Francine explains how to paint with alcohol ink on Dura-Bright White using the stencils she created. Dura-Bright words great as a substrate for alcohol ink painting. It provides a bright white background that adds contrast to any artwork. Plus, when necessary, you can lift out the inks to white adding highlights and depth to your paintings.
Overall, this presentation covers an amazing range of tools and techniques. Watch below.

Great method with new info for me — stimulating. Can’t find the full materials list — is the tool for finishing/stage 3 adding white or removing color? And what is the white stick/pencil-like that is being used for the fine lines in the wings? Thanks for an interesting exciting demo
Great tutorial! New idea, have to try it! It is only nearly impossible to get DIURA-LAR in New Zealand, any tips?
Loved the demo! Looking forward to trying it!
What kind of white pen were you using for detail work?
Thanks!!
