What a great idea! I never would have thought to fill a brush with it. I have always just been drawing with it with my fountain pens. It is very interesting how the colour changes on different papers and with more layers. Great for quick sketches! Thanks for sharing.

So effective in a tonal sketch. I use Lexington Grey for line but haven't thought to use it in a wash - I always dilute black for greys. As you say, LG is pretty neutral. It looks great with black lines and and a couple of grey tones. Thanks for sharing your ideas, I always enjoy them.

You should try doing one of these gray paintings except with one or more buildings or objects done in color to draw attention to it. And perhaps instead of black sketch lines perhaps use a red or blue or other color. Since you're using ink instead of graphite there shouldn't be any issue with experimenting. I've seen this done occasionally when browsing people's sketches. Might be fun. Thanks for these tips and advice Teoh. Great sketch too! 👍 😄

You can also use a light grey to very loosely block out a basic shape / design, then go back in with black ink on top to refine it. It can be a faster way to prototype ideas.

@teohyc
@teohyc 5 жыл бұрын
You can as well. But not all India ink will have a neutral tone. Some are warm, some are cool. Lexington Gray is surprisingly neutral. That and it's more convenient because you don't have to mix. The gray is always consistent

Are there other grey inks you recommend? Where I live they don't have lexington. You recommend waterproof, correct? I love your sketch/painting. Thank you!

@@teohyc Hi Teoh! As a follow-on question, why not use a (diluted, inexpensive) black watercolor for a tonal study? Does ink have some properties that make it a better medium for a tonal study? You've mentioned that layers of ink don't make subsequent layers darker -- that would seem to be a drawback.... Thanks!
@teohyc
@teohyc 4 жыл бұрын
@@SmasherBunny You certainly can use diluted black watercolour. It's a personal choice. Note that some black may look warm or cool but when diluted the colour temperature may change. Other blacks may appear patchy when painted. Some have texture, eg Sumi ink, Lunar Black, while others are just flat. You have to find the black that works for you.
