Preparation ink painting and basic learning _How to make ink for Sumi-e and express the brightness
You can easily find the ink for Sumi-e online, but you can also make it yourself.
How to make my own ink?
To prepare
Ink stick and inkstone, some water, a round brush, a plate for ink, thin papers (It can be replaced with other thin paper that spreads well), a used waste paper, a pressing stone (something that you can press to keep your paper from moving.), etc.
1. Add some water to the inkstone and continue rubbing it with an ink stick.
2. Continue slowly and for a long time.
If your ink is a bit viscous and has turned a golden deep black, it’s complete.
Prepare some water on a plate.
Adjust the brightness by mixing water and your ink. If you want to make it brighter, add more water.
Practice expressing the brightness by mixing ink or water little by little and drawing on paper.
