A year ago a new manufacturer of synthetic paper emerged with a solution for Alcohol Ink art.   Alcohol ink art requires a non-porous surface, which you either have to purchase synthetic papers or   In the past, I’ve used YUPO paper (which I still love), but this new substrate by NARA Synthetic paper offers another solution and opportunity!   I’ve started using the paper and love it!

Why do I like NARA Paper?

  1.  It’s non-porous
  2.  It allows me to lift the ink to the white surface, with no staining
  3. It comes in a variety of sizes and shapes and the company offers custom sizes if needed.

 

So I’ve begun a series of YouTube videos demonstrating this new surface.   I’ve grouped them below for those of you who want to see them.   Currently, I have them on the Alcohol Ink Art Community channel  in case you would like to subscribe!  For your convenience, I’ve embedded them below!
