Frequently Asked Questions

What is ink painting?

In East Asian art, ink painting, also known as sumi-e or ink wash painting, is a traditional method. Black ink, which is typically made from materials like soot, charcoal, or other pigments, is the most common color used in ink paintings. To achieve different tones and dilution levels for various effects, the ink is combined with water. It places an emphasis on simplicity and brushstroke mastery. 

Can we paint ink on canvas?

It’s unusual but not impossible to paint with ink on canvas. The canvas should first be gesso primed to reduce its absorption. Apply the ink to the canvas using a waterproof ink brush after dipping it in the ink. Practice layering for depth and experimenting with dilution for various tones. Plan your composition carefully and accept the fluid, unpredictable qualities of ink on canvas because it can be less forgiving. For added protection, use a fixative at the end.
