A project from our live show CATCH UP with Toni & Emma for A FRIDAY LAUNCH in the HTCN studio broadcast 14th Jan 22 · 14/01/2022
Discover how to mix custom colours using pigment inks by combining drops of different colours with water. This technique creates unique, vibrant hues that can be watercoloured onto your pages and will crackle as they dry.
Pour a small amount of water into a mixing container or palette.
Add three drops of red pigment ink to the water and stir to combine.
Add a couple of drops of blue pigment ink to create a purple tone.
Shake the bottle well if the ink is not flowing smoothly from the bottle.
Optionally add a drop of opal or rose gold pigment ink to create shiny, reflective effects in your colour mix.
Use a water brush or regular brush to apply your mixed pigment ink colour onto your page or textured surface.
Allow the pigment ink to dry completely; it will crackle as it dries, creating a textured, aged appearance.
Once dry, you can layer additional watercolours or pigment inks over the crackled surface without muddying the colours.
