Time for this weeks WOYWW - What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday. Want to know more then pop on over to the Stamping Ground.
On my desk this windy Wednesday is a painting of a face. I recently bought some acrylic inks from Oak House Studio. I love painting with acrylic paint but have never tried the inks. I did find them challenging as they do dry very quickly so you can't blend the colours together. After a few goes just using them on dry paper I decided to wet the paper I was using and use the inks as you would use water colour paints. I think this technique worked better but you do have to be careful and let the paint dry first if you don't want it to bleed - like the lips - they were still slightly damp and when I added the water around the face the red from the lops bled onto the upper lip and under the nose. A lot more practice is needed me thinks.
Want to see what other artists have on their desks this Wednesday? Then pop on over to the Stamping Ground and follow the links you never know who you're going to bump into.
Have a wonderful Wednesday

Thanks for the information here re painting with the inks Anita. Like the face - is it for something special?

A very pretty lady. That's beginning to look very nice. Keep playing and trying. Please show us the finished article.
Thank you for letting me peep over your shoulder.

Take care. God bless.

Super artwork. I haven't come across acrylic inks as opposed to paints - might investigate for using with gelli plate. Thanks for sharing. Hope you are having a great day and have a lovely crafting week to come. Hazel, WOYWW #69 x

You've got a lovely steady hand there, Anita. That face is great. Happy WOYWW, Chris # 14
Beautiful face painting, love your style. Have a great week and happy crafting, Angela x 36
I love trial and 'Hmmm' with new toys and techniques. Great face. Creative Blessings! Kelly #66
Using only inks to paint a face must be very challenging. You've managed to make the most of it, I think. Great experiment! Thank you for visiting my blog earlier today! (you gave me the wrong number, but I've found you anyway!) zsuzsa @ InkyDinkyDoodle #22
Hi Anita,
Oh, I love your face!!! The colors you've used are great. I haven't tried the inks either but I'd say you were quite successful. I wonder if adding a bit of gel medium would make them take longer to dry?
I'm so slow in getting around this week.
Happy belated WOYWW
Peace,
