1. To dilute the inks, use isopropyl alcohol. Maintain a ratio of at least two parts alcohol to one part ink to achieve optimal texture and layering effects.
Low- and medium-delamination inks can create a stronger effect if approximately 20–30% water is added during dilution.
2. Shake the bottle thoroughly before each use to mix the pigment evenly. The pigment settles quickly, so shaking is essential for consistent results.
3. Suitable surfaces for application:
The inks work best on smooth, non-absorbent surfaces such as synthetic or plastic paper, as well as canvases primed with Kamenskaya’s special primer.
4. Drying:
Allow the inks to dry naturally. Avoid using a hairdryer, as it may alter the paint’s structure and disrupt the texture.
Tips:
1. Mixing colors:
The inks blend beautifully. For richer shades, mix colors before diluting them with alcohol.
Low- and medium-delamination inks can create a more pronounced effect if approximately 20–30% water is added during dilution.
2. Expand your possibilities:
These inks can be combined with products from other alcohol ink lines, opening new horizons for creativity.
3. Protect your artwork:
After drying, the surface becomes sensitive to abrasion. To protect your work, we recommend applying several layers of acrylic spray varnish.
4. Tilt effect:
To create sharp and expressive effects, tilt the surface. Start with a slight angle and gradually increase it. This allows the alcohol to flow and evaporate while the pigment settles, forming intricate textures.
5. Easy removal:
The inks can be easily wiped away with water or alcohol, making adjustments simple.
Safety Precautions:
• Work in a well-ventilated area.
• Keep away from open flames, as the product is flammable.
• Store out of reach of children.
