Мы подобные работы делали с детьми ещё в 1980 году! И даже интереснее. Я об этом писала в своей докторской диссертации и в книге - "Графика, первые шаги".

Truly inspirational! My bamboo pens and Indian ink is being delivered today and I can't wait to get started. I think I know the answer to this question, but are you working on a flat or angled surface please? I tend to start off at an angle and then lie the board flat, but the water all tends to pool at the bottom of the paper and dry out quickly at the top. I'm just wondering if you can still get those effects on the trees if the paper is flat throughout. Thanks and keep posting.

@ChrisStephenArt

Hi Lorna. I usually keep the board at an angle, but will occasionally lay it flat if needed. The effect will still work, it’s mainly about water content and the mist bottle. Just experiment and enjoy the process!!

If you are thinking about doing that, you will be amazed at some of the unusual techniques that are being used with different types of inks. For instance, some fountain pen inks and using bleach. Or, alcohol inks and using a wash with alcohol, etc. I really want to try some of these techniques but am living in Central America and have not found any of these types of inks. I will purchase some on my next visit to the USA. Here is one link but you can search for other videos. kzread.info/dash/bejne/m6Gtm8-yn7Kfkrw.html
