Washes

It is possible to make washes using a black water-based ink for woodblock printing. Rolled in a single layer evenly onto the plate, the ink creates grains which later can be etched. You can paint in the still-moist ground with a brush and distilled water. It is also possible to mix the ink with distilled water and to paint directly onto the plate.
Before etching the plate must be dried completely which depends on the thickness of the application.

Material: Graphic Chemical Water Based Ink, Black No. 1659
