NON- LINEAR RESISTS : ISOPROPYL ( RUBBING ) ALCOHOL

As salt attracts moisture, alcohol repels it. Alcohol can slow and also stop the flow of the dye. It can also be used for very subtle blending and can remove ( discharge ) controlled amounts of dye.

In the next sample, I will combine the line building with alcohol. By keeping the white areas saturated with alcohol, the layers can be built without disturbing the white areas. They can then be colored in with a contrasting color.
