ive heard several people say they use ink for washes. i was wondering is it used by the same methods as a regular wash? if so, what does one use to thin it if need be? what kind of ink do you use? this is a lot to throw, i know, but id appreciate it if someone could give me some advice on this. thanks!

Inks, inks... Well from my little experience, I've used inks after aplying the basic paint coat... The ones I've used were thin enough at least to me! So I can't help on that, sorry
I've used some inks from games workshop ( I think they are from citadel, or something like that). It's the ones they used in their painting tutorials for their miniatures...
Hope I could help you some way

See yaaa

you should be able to use inks for pin washes ect no problems, I've seen weathering been done using sepia ink as a dust coat and looked really good with it games workshop does inks for washes in browen,black ect and are ready to use from the bottle hope this helps

Hello, I just am learning about inks as well. you can find the inks you use at the same counter where they keep the oil paints at stores like hobby lobby. with the wash on the thatch of my barn i used a drop of ink to about a shot glass of water to thin it. the ink is india ink for calligraphy. Hope this helps. Cheers Kevin
