Encaustic & Ink

Ink can be used in conjunction with encaustic to create a variety of effects. In this video, we demonstrate four different ways - underpainting directly onto a panel; painting onto or between layers of encaustic; and using ink either full strength or diluted to create a pale wash or patina on the surface of a painting.
Materials used in this demo include: Ampersand Encausticbord, R&F encaustic medium, R&F encaustic paint, and Speedball India Ink.
For step by step instructions and additional suggestions, visit our blog Unique Color: www.rfpaints.c....
R&F’s Resources page provides downloadable articles and lists to help you find a teacher in your area, download a color chart, learn the history of encaustic, and ensure you are practicing safety in the studio: www.rfpaints.c....

Is india ink the same as sumi ink?

[@rfpaints]

No. There is a difference and it has to do with the binder. Here's a helpful link. www.quora.com/Is-there-a-difference-between-India-ink-and-Sumi-ink-This-is-in-reference-to-inks-used-for-calligraphy-and-art#
