Ink

Kind of an introduction to doing art (not sure it can be can painting, because it isn't paint...) with ink. Perfect for people who would want to learn different technique and how to do/try them. Well done!

I loved this book! I think ink tend to be an underrated medium, and this book does a great job of showcasing how it can stand on its own for a myriad of creative possibilities. With a variety of techniques and ideas, great artwork, a layout that works well with the concept, this is a very inspiring book for anyone who already understands basic technique and wants to stretch their imagination and see what other possibilities are out there.

Thanks to NetGalley for providing an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This is an excellent introduction to some of the different methods of using ink in art.  It is a good starting point for experimenting, and while the instructions are quite brief there is enough to get you started and give you a taster.  I loved the variety of projects and example pictures that are used, and the author encourages you to have a go in your own way.  It is a creative book full of ideas and a great addition to any artists library.

Ink is a interesting and informative book about using ink as a medium for art. Great advice and techniques.

I'm in love with the creative ideas in this book! There are so many fun, artistic, brilliant ways to play with ink in all kinds of ways. Examples -- use straws, salt, turpentine, masking, collage, wax, etc. to play with effects. There are simple step-by-step instructions to do all kinds of novel effects. The examples are gorgeous and inspirational for your own inky experiments or those of your kids.

I read a temporary digital ARC of the book for the purpose of review.

A great book for beginners or the more advanced.  Clear and concise information from the types of paper, pens and ink with a range of examples and styles.  Also gives idea to experiment with to help build confidence.
