Thanks. The ink is just liquitex acrylic ink and I put it in a small dish and a few drops of water. To apply I use small pant brushes. ( A fine point rigger type brush for detail, a flat and a small round. You can dip the brush in water first before picking up ink for wetter washes. Rubbing alcohol will lift up the ink off the yupo, so works like an eraser. Rubbing alcohol also works on prismacolor markers and even sharpies to a degree, but they can leave small stains. Your daughter may have been using too much water. I think the trick is using just the right amount. With the liquitex you dont even need water, but the less water, the darker the mark. I can get a full value range with just the black ink if diluted (like in the thumb nail b&w)
Ah ok, a rigger brush makes more sense. It doesn't run all over then?
