(Sumi means ink) The best results come from using actual Sumi ink. <br />This is because the ink is slightly oily so it sits on top of the water. No need for soapy brushes. You just have to drop the ink onto the water and swirl it very, very gently. If you mix it too quickly you loose the pattern and the water becomes black. I find that each tray of water only gives one or 2 at the most prints before it becomes too inky. I get the best results from using inexpensive hot press watercolor paper.<br /><br />Have lots of paper towels to hand. From every batch of 5 or so prints you may only get 1 sheet you like but it makes an incredible background. I like to paint on the marbled paper when dry with watercolor or gouache... hazel Jarvishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02459374258081708758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4737632497628061488.post-9982852975995685432016-11-30T20:14:03.996+00:002016-11-30T20:14:03.996+00:00I like it.
