Ink and watercolor art can be used to create a variety of beautiful designs. This guide will take you through the basic steps you’ll need to get started on creating your own unique artwork.
Before you start, you’ll need to gather the necessary supplies:
Start by sketching out the design you’d like to create with your ink on watercolor paper. Make sure to keep your lines thin and light, as the ink will be visible underneath the watercolor.
Use a brush pen or ink to carefully trace over your design lines. For a softer finish, use a cup of water to lighten the line or even smudge the ink. Let the ink dry.
Choose the pigments you’d like to use, and lightly mix them on your mixing palette. Then, fill up the cups of water with the colors you need. Use a brush to apply the paint to the paper.
Again, use a damp brush to apply the paint in the areas of your design. Use the paint to fill in any large areas, add shadows, and bring your artwork to life. When you’re done, let the paint dry.
Once the piece has dried, you can add any extra details to your artwork with a sharpie or ink. And voila! You have your very own unique piece of ink and watercolor art.
