How to make a splash with ink and water
Step 1:
With an absorbent natural hair paintbrush, paint a design on your watercolour paper using only water. Make sure your lines are very wet and interconnected.
Step 2:
With the eyedropper provided in the cap of the Hydrus ink bottle, gently drop ink onto the wet areas of your drawing, one drop at a time.
Step 3:
Watch the ink travel along the water lines to fill in your painting! Leave your drawing on a level surface until it is completely dry.
