I will practice wetting the paper first and spread the paint over smoothly.

One, if the paint is too dry and you try to spread over too great an area. Two, initially, there was enough water and fiddling too much as the paint starts to dry out.

An easy way to get a reasonably smooth area is to first moisten the area you want to paint before applying the paint. This method allows the paint to spread evenly over the surface.

The actual amount of water used will change according to the weather conditions and air temperature. It comes with lots of practice.

I feel really good about doing it, especially since I was so set against ever doing pen and ink.

Excellent, Mea, for one of your first tries. You can only get better.

I tried it, too. Must say, I am really like this ink/wash technique..

Nice lesson, Dennis.

Please let me know where I need to improve. This will be matted to an 8 x 10 size (from 11 x 14), so the signature will be in the right place.

Nothing much has changed, tip got caught in paper, ink spots, and black fingers.

Need to find/make a close end funnel like you have Dennis for the ink… would solve the black fingers problem.

Thank you for this nice introduction to ink and wash.

Most people won’t notice it. It is just that I know the animals very well, having lived in South Africa most of my life.
