Masterpiece Alcohol Ink Art panels feature a non-porous double vinyl substrate designed specifically for alcohol inks, but can be used for acrylics and other multi-media applications. Vinyl is mounted to both sides of an MDF board with pH neutral glue, so you can paint both sides. The vinyl has a light texture, which provides more control over the painting process, and it produces a pearlescent shimmer to artwork. The vinyl surface is an impervious moisture barrier that will resist warping and extends the open time of alcohol inks.

The Hardcore Alcohol Ink Art Panel by Masterpiece is a new surface that offers you more control over your artwork than traditional papers currently available on the market. The non-porous vinyl is mounted to both sides of a MDF solid wood core, so you have two paintable sides, and it works phenomenally well for Alcohol Inks.

The surface has a little texture and therefore has tiny peaks and valleys. There is a pearlescent shimmer effect due to the way the light reflects off the little peaks, and slight shadows are created in the tiny valleys. The ink does not flow as much, so you can paint a line and it therefore gives you more control over your artwork. If you want more flow, you can add more blending solution or 91% Isopropyl alcohol. Your inks also don’t dry as fast, so it gives you more open-time to work on your project. If you want the inks to dry faster, use your heat-gun. The solid vinyl panel can take the heat…just make sure to always vibrate or move the heat gun around, not focusing on any one particular area.

When you are done, we recommend that you apply a couple of coats of a varnish or sealer, and then apply a UV protectant. On top of that, you can apply a two-part epoxy resin to the surface which transforms the artwork into something you would expect to see in an art gallery. The combination of the brilliant alcohol ink colors with the resin produces a lasting work of art that really makes the colors pop and offers a glossy glass-like finish that will impress your friends and art buyers!
