Acrylic, Ink and Bleach


Today I have been experimenting with acrylic, ink and bleach. To make these designs I first randomly painted some paper with some fluid and metallic acrylics. When it was dry I covered the whole thing in water-soluble drawing ink.


When the ink layer was dry I painted the motifs in bleach. This dissolved the ink showing the acrylic colour beneath. Unfortunately the photos don't show how bright and glittery they are in real life.
