How To Use All-Purpose Inks On Canvas With Ink Potion Number 9

Posted on July 19, 2022 by Imagine

By Katy Ingram –

Hello Friends! Katy here with something a bit different today. I am using some All-Purpose Inks and Ink Potion Number 9 to do some painting on canvas. I did some research and could’t find anything that shows All-Purpose Inks being used on canvas so I thought I would share my experience today.

I used the All-Purpose Inks to create a Coastal painting and used some sea shells, sharks teeth and a small pelican feather that my husband and I have found on our many beach walks over the years.

Check out the video below to see how this came together and get some tips and tricks for painting on canvas with the All-Purpose Inks and Potion Number 9.
