Description
This is Empire Ink's whitewash system, designed with value expression in mind for graywash work.
Empire Ink Whitewash Dark is an ink developed for artists seeking more intentional tone control in graywash work. Inspired by the traditional method of adding a few drops of white to graywash, it is formulated as a semi-opaque gray with pre-mixed white. This allows it to blend into the skin like a graywash while providing a consistent milky gray tone.
Colt Brown, owner of Empire Ink, explains that he differentiates between using whitewash for value expression and graywash for transparent shadows. Whitewash is suited for artists who use slow hand movements, and is designed to be combined with techniques where the needle glides only backward, maintaining a consistent depth.
