I loved this book! I think ink tend to be an underrated medium, and this book does a great job of showcasing how it can stand on its own for a myriad of creative possibilities. With a variety of techniques and ideas, great artwork, a layout that works well with the concept, this is a very inspiring book for anyone who already understands basic technique and wants to stretch their imagination and see what other possibilities are out there.

Thanks to NetGalley for providing an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This is an excellent introduction to some of the different methods of using ink in art. It is a good starting point for experimenting, and while the instructions are quite brief there is enough to get you started and give you a taster. I loved the variety of projects and example pictures that are used, and the author encourages you to have a go in your own way. It is a creative book full of ideas and a great addition to any artists library.

I'm in love with the creative ideas in this book! There are so many fun, artistic, brilliant ways to play with ink in all kinds of ways. Examples -- use straws, salt, turpentine, masking, collage, wax, etc. to play with effects. There are simple step-by-step instructions to do all kinds of novel effects. The examples are gorgeous and inspirational for your own inky experiments or those of your kids.

My rating system:

4 = really liked it
5 = love it, plan to purchase, and/or would buy it again if it was lost
