Inky Meditations - Inky

From Inky, Inky Meditations is a paperback guide to creating ink-on-water paintings, designed to help you explore expressive mark-making while developing a more mindful approach to making art. Using a simple set-up of sumi ink, a paintbrush, watercolour paper and water, the book introduces a technique where ink moves across the water’s surface to form organic patterns and compositions.

Across 26 step-by-step projects, you’ll work through subjects ranging from leaves, flowers and insects to birds and sea creatures, with drawing templates included to support each painting. Every project opens with a grounding exercise and a note on breathwork while painting, alongside practical guidance on brushstrokes, tips and techniques. QR codes link to videos that explain the methods and walk you through a number of the paintings, and there are also ideas for packaging and gifting your finished work.
