    You need to load the brush in classical sumi-e style: in three different containers, add water and then dilute a little of the ink on the first, then 50% more on the second and then a lot on the third plate. Then dip all of the tip of the brush in the very light container, then dip until half of the tip on the secon and then dip just a little bit of the tip on the second container. That way your brush will be loaded with three shades of the ink. Then you start drawing.

      @@lemmetalkaboutthis sumi-e is a traditional Chinese painting style. What this accomplishes is that it creates a smooth gradient on your brush, from dark to light so it conveys light flow. Google sumi-e and you'll understand better

      I recently got a small palette of Derwent Graphitint watercolours in a Scrawlrbox. They are a paint that is mixed with graphite (also in a Scrawlrbox last year we got some tubes of 'liquid pencil' by Derivan which is the same kind of thing). Due to the addition of the graphite the colours are lovely muted shades. I really do need to have a proper play around with them as they look fantastic. One thing that I found both a positive and a negative about the addition of the graphite is that the medium isn't fixed once dry like inks etc. This actually makes the paints erasable (to a certain extent lol) which is kind of cool and I think you could get some really interesting effects. However, this does mean that like graphite pencils/charcoal/chalks/pastels, this paint also smudges and gets really messy and you have to be careful not to rub your hand across it as not only will it smudge but the oils in your skin can get onto the page and cause the graphite to become patchy etc. These are paints that you will definitely need to use a workable fixative spray and probably a wrist guard/rest thing so that you don't touch the page with your hands.

    The effect of colors getting granulated and seperated is so popular in my country right now. It's called 'seperate layer colors'. We love it because it's create the 'sumi' effects that appears in chinese and japanese art.
    Guess it's a thing here in the eastern asian.
