Supplies:
Step 1: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a bowl, add pigment and gum arabic, 4:1. For example, add 4 TBSP of pigment with 1 TBSP of Gum Arabic and stir the two together.
Step 2: Making a Liquid
Add 2 TBSP of water to the mixture and stir it together until it is smooth and well blended. Some pigments require more or less water, so add more water if necessary. We are using the Natural Gold Mica pigment and added approximately 7 TBSP of water total to the mixture.
Step 3: Drawing
You’re ready to draw! This drawing ink works great with a calligraphy pen or a paint brush.
Step 4: Storage
Store in a jar or an air tight container to use later on.
