Chinese painting ink is a kind of ink used in Chinese painting. It is usually made of graphite, binder and water. This kind of ink is characterized by deep color, delicate texture and good fluidity, which can give the picture a sense of depth.
What's the difference between ordinary ink and traditional ink in China?
Ordinary ink is a kind of ink widely used in writing and painting in daily life. It is usually made of carbon black, water and other additives. Compared with traditional China ink, ordinary ink is lighter in color, relatively rough in texture and poor in fluidity.
In addition, the use of traditional Chinese painting ink and ordinary ink is also different. Chinese painting requires advanced painting skills, such as "dry pen and wet pen", "stippling" and "painting", which may not work for ordinary ink painting.
The Use and Preservation of Chinese Painting Ink
Before using Chinese painting ink, it is necessary to mix ink and water evenly to achieve the concentration suitable for your own use. In the process of painting, we should pay attention to the fluidity of ink and adjust the depth of ink with different techniques.
Chinese painting ink is durable, but it needs to be preserved. Keeping its area in a cool and dry environment can prolong its shelf life, and at the same time, it should avoid sunlight or high temperature environment to avoid ink deterioration.
Application field of Chinese painting ink
