Acrylic Painting Technique – Using Alcohol with Acrylic Paints

I found this really cool video on YouTube today from artist Howard L. Cowdrick. He demonstrates a fascinating acrylic painting technique using alcohol. It is a very interesting way to work with acrylics. I know many artists get somewhat bored sometimes and are looking for ideas to breathe new life into their work and I hope this video helps inspire you!

Enjoy!

I love it! i’d love to use this technique in my final project, as i am attending SCAD. Though, i am concerned about what format to use. Canvas? paper? what works best? there are no restrictions for my final project, though i was hoping to be able to do it on canvas. will this technique still work on canvas??

thanks for your help!
