The use of Indian Ink requires the learning of graphic techniques. To give some expression to a simple black line with a paintbrush or a pen nib is very close to the activity of writing. It is also an introduction to the world of illustration. It is easier for the children to let their imagination tell us a story with the simple use of a pen. I show them, for example, the great illustrations created by Maurice Sendak for his wonderful children books, which can be very inspirational. We sometimes add color spray over the ink work for more fun!
