Liquitex Professional Acrylic Ink, 1-oz (30ml) Jar, Muted Violet

I love these acrylic inks so far. I currently prefer it over copic marks for coloring my illustrations because it more bang for your buck, and one drop goes a long way! It is lightfast, very fluid, can be thicken with the pouring solution to create cool effects. They can be mixed to create more colors, and thinned out with water to create light washes. Similar to watercolor, but it doesn't need that much water to do it. More versatile compared to markers.Still playing around with colors to see how they stacked up on top of each other.I played around with it and created two octopi, with it. The purple octopus is mainly a violet with a muted green. I played around with it, and did the shadows first and then when over it with watered down violet, and came out cool. The paper is just regular 90lb drawing paper, and only warped a little when i did my washes with water.The orange octopus is the same, but did shadow with muted green, then a wash of yellow, and then a light wash of red to give me the orange hue.OH! it also does not bleed through the paper. just fyiI haven't use them in this way, but you can add the ink to refillable markers. but google "Acrylic Ink Refillable Markers " and it should come up, so i can wait til i experiment with this, in that way.will update review if anything else comes to mind, but i love them so far.

Love texture
