Watercolor and Ink
Glenn Hirsch, Instructor
Learn to control the value of the ink by diluting it with water first – start with very light tones and only use dark at the end
In a landscape, light tones recede and dark tones come forward
Shading with the brush on a line drawing after it’s dry
Try drawing lines with the brush too, you can achieve some beautiful line
Claude Lorraine, ink study, 1630
“value’ = the black-and-white of the color
Work from light to dark, reserving the white paper where you want white color
Allow each step to dry before proceeding to the next
Since color is “relative,” we use warm and cool versions of each color to enhance the feeling of “light”
Chromatic scale
• Light to dark• Bright to dull• Warm to cool
Chromatic scale to enhance the illusion of “light”
Lighter value in the light
