Alcohol Ink Paint Base – 3oz Multi-Surface Prep Paint

Turn almost any surface into an alcohol-ink-ready canvas with our Alcohol Ink Paint Base—a versatile prep paint designed to give you the freedom to ink beyond paper.

This 3oz multi-surface paint creates the ideal base for alcohol inks, allowing color to move, blend, and react beautifully on surfaces that normally wouldn’t support alcohol ink techniques. Use it on wood, canvas, MDF, panels, and more—or apply it through stencils on cardstock for controlled, creative designs.

This is a must-have for artists who want to expand what alcohol inks can do.

Hedgehog Hollow Pro Tip

For best ink movement, apply a smooth, even coat and let it fully cure before inking. Thin layers give the best control and results.
