INK HAS MANY HATS

  Once control over water flow and ink application becomes confident, the nature of ink can really be explored. It can be extremely bold, and erratic creating wonderfully unexpected streams; light and delicate in low key intensities, and bright white where the paper has been blocked with wax or a masking medium.

The two right images, above and below, have nicely stippled or spattered areas offering texture in the midst of the flows. The upper left image involved washes throughout the entire background, and contrasting, the lower right one let the white background have its own life.
