Hello, fellow art enthusiasts! I want to take a minute to discuss showcasing your alcohol ink artwork. After investing time and creativity into your alcohol ink creations, it’s essential to preserve their brilliance and integrity over time. Once your artwork is properly protected, you may also wish to share it with others. Lets look at how to accomplish both of these tasks:
Preservation and Sealing
Sealing methods play a crucial role in protecting your artwork and is essential for its longevity and visual appeal. Choose a sealant that aligns with your desired level of protection and visual finish. I personally use Krylon Gallery Series matte finish since alcohol ink tends to have a natural sheen. Spray sealers provide a convenient way to protect your work from dust and UV light, while epoxy resin coatings offer a glossy and durable protective layer. Ensure that your artwork is fully dry before sealing to prevent smudging or distortion. By protecting it from fading due to UV exposure, preventing accidental reconstitution, shielding it from environmental factors, and enhancing its durability, you ensure that your vibrant creations remain captivating for years to come.
Sharing Your Art
Sharing your alcohol ink artwork with a wider audience is a rewarding and integral part of the artistic process. Utilize social media platforms to showcase your alcohol ink artwork and connect with fellow artists, enthusiasts, and potential buyers. Create an online portfolio or website to provide a comprehensive view of your artistic journey. These platforms no only offer exposure but also facilitate meaningful interactions, feedback, and collaborations with others who share your passion for alcohol ink art, or just art in general. Participating in local art exhibitions and galleries allows you to engage directly with your audience and provide you the opportunity to share your passion with them face-to-face
