Done with gouache first, painted very heavy. I left the paper white where I wanted it to end up black. When the gouache was dry I quickly painted india ink over the entire project. That's the scary part. When you can't stand to wait any longer you wash off the ink under running water. I think it turned out pretty good for my first attempt at using this technique.

Great illustration! Now I want to try this technique.
I love your style here, and the technique is really interesting! It reminds me of the batik process.
It's great when you take a chance and it comes out great! I'm going to try it! Beautiful work!

very cool atmosphere! I really enjoy the effect of the indian ink on the piece- very spooky indeed! :)
just great!
That is definitely spooky enough. Great illustration!!
This is great! I've recently started experimenting with this technique as well and I love it.
Love the fee, SPOOKY. For me has a 1950’s vibe.
Also I think your painting of “son and son” is beautiful.
Sorry, that should say FEEL. I must learn to type.
This is gorgeous! And a really interesting technique, lovely!
