Alcohol Ink, first picture

So a few weeks ago, I went to an art festival and saw some really cool works in Alcohol Ink and figured that it looked interesting as a medium to work in.

I went out and purchased a starter kit, some paper and a few other inks to get started and just started splashing some ink on a 4" x 6" piece of small paper.

I thought I'd stick to some yellow, green, blue and gold.  Here's the picture:

The brand of inks I purchased made drips quite a bit larger than I though and people weren't kidding when they said the ink dried fast.  The problem in my picture came with the gold, it came out pretty fast and ended up being more than I had wanted.

Oh well, I'll definitely have to play more with the techniques, and I love the abstract nature of the art, but for a first piece, this wasn't too bad.

Below is the kit I purchased.  I haven't really used it much yet, and I frankly have nothing to compare it to, so as of yet I'll withhold my opinion or a review.
