Exploring Materials: Ink
Ink is a versatile drawing material and had lots of potential for experimenting with mark-making and scale.
It responds well to a range of mark-making tools to create lines that range from scratchy and thin to thick and flowing, so it’s important to choose the right mark-making tool.
Like watercolour, ink is fast-drying and water-soluble, allowing it to flow between soft washes, layered textures, and sharp, expressive marks.
