The is the fifteenth in a series to help you understand why and how Alcohol Inks work. In this lesson we add pens to our alcohol ink paintings. We compare 6 different dark pens and 5 white pens to see how they react with alcohol ink and how we might use them in our paintings.
Questions and comments are always welcome.
