Watersoluble Ink

Watersoluble Ink

Welcome to Draw Tip Tuesday!

Remember last week's drawing? I used a marker for it with watersoluble ink. When you use a wet brush to add water to the ink on the paper, the ink will be diluted and will bleed. Now you can paint without using any paint!

With the diluted ink, you can add shadows and shading give more depth to your drawing.

Try it and have some fun with it.

Materials used in this video:
-Hahnemühle watercolor sketchbook A6, landscape
-ITOYA Doubleheader Calligraphy Marker Black
-Pentel Aquash Water Brush

Here's your assignment for this week:
-Find a pen with watersoluble ink, like a fine liner or marker (I'm pretty sure you have one in your stash of art supplies!), use it to make a drawing.
-Then use a brush and water to play with diluting ink, adding shading and other fun bits.

Have fun!
