Acrylics & alcohol

This is another fun technique that does not take a  lot of supplies. I found an old YouTube video I like that does a good job of describing the proses.  Acrylics & Alcohol don't mix, or do they? 


For my first example I started by painting a piece of watercolor paper with yellow acrylic paint, then I let the paint dry completely. Next I thinned down some red acrylic paint and covered the entire painting, before the paint could dry I used a dropper to drip some rubbing alcohol onto the paint. I was very happy with the results.

For my second example I painted a piece of watercolor paper with black acrylic paint, before the paint dried I painted on top of the black with watered down blue and white acrylic paint. With all the paint still wet, I splattered on the alcohol using a brush. The paint blended more than I wanted, but it still looks interesting.
