Ink, The Versitile Medium

Ink has been revitalised as an artists medium in recent times with the uses for ink ranging from painting, airbrushing and design work to the more traditional pursuits of sketching, calligraphy, writing and embellishment.

Ink, Very Complimentary

Inks are also the perfect complimentary medium. Ink is often used for a wide range of activities as diverse as tinting gesso, to enhancing watercolours, to creating mixed media works.
