Sorry if this is an absurd question. I'm recently been playing with alcohol inks and noticed certain pigments seem to repel and apparently attract each other and create interesting patterns under the right conditions. e.g. non absorbent substrate with no 'tooth.'
So far this has worked best in an alcohol medium poured over a non absorbent plastic substrate. . Some have exploited the relative weights of various pigments to create patterns in acrylic paint.. I was wondering if its possible to electrically charge certain pigments positively and others negatively to see how they react when mixed. These could be pigments suspended in water (watercolor) or alcohol (alcohol inks) or even fluid acrylic inks.
Here's an example of pigments forming patterns on their own. This was done entirely by dripping alcohol inks and clear 91% isopropyl alcohol.I'm not sure of the exact pigments since they were not disclosed on the paint containers. Thank you in advance!
Thanks in advance!
