Brighten up your projects with this Kamenskaya Yellow alcohol-based ink, perfect for adding vibrant, translucent color to resin.
The fluidity of this 15-ml ink makes it easy to mix with resin and allows you to create everything from lightly tinted areas to more intense effects. Yellow can be combined with orange and red for a sunny palette, or with blue and green to produce strong contrasts. To achieve a Petri effect, use only special Petri white paint with translucent shades: alternate between color and white to create the characteristic branching patterns. Never use a burner over the inks, as they contain alcohol.
What is the difference between standard alcohol-based ink and special Petri-effect alcohol-based ink?
Standard alcohol-based inks are used to color the resin and create marbled effects, color gradients, or swirling patterns. Kamenskaya special Petri-effect alcohol inks forresin, on the other hand, have been specially formulated with alcohol, pigments, and polymers to achieve the Petri Art technique. They allow you to create more intricate patterns, with colored filaments that sink into the resin and spread out deep within it.
Why use it with a special white Petri-effect ink?
The white ink plays an essential role in creating the Petri effect! Unlike conventional white ink, which is used simply for coloring, the special Petri white ink acts as a “sinker.” When applied after the drops of colored ink, it pulls them down to the bottom of the resin, creating branches, filaments, and stunning depth effects.
What can you create with this yellow ink?
Create luminous pendants, cabochons, accessories, or small resin decorations. This color is also perfect for projects inspired by flowers, the sun, or citrus fruits. You can explore different shape possibilities in our selection of resin molds or experiment with color combinations using this tutorial for a multicolored resin ring.
Usage tips:
- Use a resin with a curing time of no more than 24 hours.
- Mix the resin thoroughly with the hardener to prevent defects in your finished piece; stir slowly to avoid trapping excess air bubbles inside.
- Pour the resin in a thin stream to minimize air bubbles within the resin layer.
- Work on a flat surface and cover it with a protective material to keep it secure.
- You can begin working once the bubbles rise to the surface and you’ve removed them.
- After each drop of color, use white. The white color blends with the colored paint, creating effects within the resin layer.
- Use only special white paint designed for marbling, with luminous, translucent shades. Only this paint has a composition that allows you to create marbling effects with these inks.
- Shake the paint jars regularly before applying each drop to ensure the mixture is uniform.
- Do not let the paint fall near the silicone edging, as this prevents it from sinking into the resin.
- If the resin is too runny, wait 20 to 30 minutes before starting to work with the paint. This will increase the viscosity, and the paint won’t sink too far to the bottom. The more runny the resin is, the more likely the paint is to sink to the bottom.
For beginners, a few drops are enough to observe how the color changes and spreads. Experienced artists can create more complex layers and gradients. Our tutorials and technical guides provide tips and advice on measuring out inks, choosing the right surfaces, and protecting your workspace.
