Create shimmering metallic accents with this Kamenskaya Opaque Metallic Alcohol Ink in Silver, perfect for adding sparkle to Ink Art pieces and resin projects.
Natural metallic pigments produce a distinct silvery effect that can be used to draw borders, create shiny highlights, or form fine patterns in colored inks. The bottle must be shaken thoroughly before use to ensure the pigments are evenly distributed. On a smooth, non-absorbent surface, dilute the ink if necessary, then use a hair dryer to move it around and create the desired outlines. This ink can also be used with epoxy resin to add metallic accents to your project.
What can you do with this silver ink?
Pair it with black and gray for a contemporary monochrome look, with blue to evoke icy reflections, or with bright hues to create a metallic contrast. It can highlight the patterns on a pendant, enhance a cabochon, or add a few shimmering lines to a decorative object. To choose the right material for your project, check out our guide “UV or Epoxy Resin: Which Type Should You Choose?” You can also experiment with different shapes using our resin molds.
Tips for use:
- Wear protective gear and gloves when handling the ink.
- Apply the ink to a smooth, non-absorbent surface. Shake the bottle before use.
- Dilute the ink with a mixing solution or alcohol until it reaches the desired consistency (saturation) when working with the Ink Art technique.
- Pour the diluted ink onto the surface and brush it while applying heat from a hair dryer. Use circular motions around the drop to create attractive edges.
- Add a few drops of metallic ink to the paint to create a weightless golden spiderweb.
- In Ink Art, finish by coating the painting with an acrylic spray varnish to increase the durability of your image.
After an Ink Art creation has dried, protect the metallic pigments with a suitable acrylic spray varnish to minimize oxidation. Our tutorials and technical sheets provide tips and tricks for working cleanly, controlling effects, and achieving a polished finish.
