Nebula

(A glowing form of clouds made up of interstellar gas and dust)

In a galaxy far far away... this months box is going intergalactic! Pour, dip and tip the ink to experiment with the abstract fluid forms it creates. Use the tools to drip, drop and blow around the ink to see what unique marks you can make. Try swirling your paint brush in while wet and then back in again once dry with the extender to see how it expands your galactic arrangements.

What was in the box?

Marabu Alcohol Inks (x3)

These Alcohol-based, permanent inks take fluid painting to a whole new level, offering unlimited design possibilities with their wide range of flow techniques. The brilliantly bold and bright colours are quick-drying, acid-free and can also be mixed to create your own colour combinations. These inks are best used on a non-absorbent paper, but they can also be used on any smooth, non-absorbent surfaces such as glass, metal, ceramic or porcelain. The creative possibilities and applications are endless.

Marabu Alcohol Ink Extender

Marabu Alcohol Inks are perfectly complemented by this Alcohol Ink Extender. The extender is an indispensable supply for many techniques and can be used not only to increase the alcohol inks’ workable time (slowing the drying time), but also to lighten pigment, lift colour and increase the transparency of your inks, experiment to create a number of stunning effects.

Pipette

This versatile little tool is fantastic for mixing and adding ink to your work. You can use it for marbling, mixing colours or applying your inks and extender directly to paper.

Paper Straw

This simple, but useful tool will help you create magical patterns in your ink with a gentle puff of air. Just try not to breathe in the fumes!!!

ProArte Masterstroke Paintbrush

This paint brush is well suited for all of your painting needs. It can be used for watercolour, acrylic, oil and alcohol mediums as the tip is made from durable synthetic fibres.

Yupo Pad A5 100gsm

Yupo is a non-porous, acid free and pH neutral synthetic paper. It is completely waterproof, stain-resistant and is an intriguing alternative to traditional art papers. With the 10 sheets included, you will have plenty to test out and experiment with this months supplies.
