Take an old toothbrush and dip that into the
ink. Aim it at the paper and then pull your
thumb over the bristles of the brush, firing
speckles of paint at the paper. In this way


you can build up areas of tone out of this
speckled effect. You can also use the brush
to apply the ink as though you were drawing
with it.
