Pigment Ink Colour Mixing and Watercolouring

Pour a small amount of water into a mixing container or palette.

Add three drops of red pigment ink to the water and stir to combine.

Add a couple of drops of blue pigment ink to create a purple tone.

Shake the bottle well if the ink is not flowing smoothly from the bottle.

Optionally add a drop of opal or rose gold pigment ink to create shiny, reflective effects in your colour mix.

Use a water brush or regular brush to apply your mixed pigment ink colour onto your page or textured surface.

Allow the pigment ink to dry completely; it will crackle as it dries, creating a textured, aged appearance.

Once dry, you can layer additional watercolours or pigment inks over the crackled surface without muddying the colours.
