Black ink was known as ‘masi’ in India, a mixture of different ashes, water and animal glue. In India, scribes have used needle and pen since antiquity to write many of their Buddhist and Jain scripts. Traditionally, black inks were favoured by Chinese artists who excelled in producing monochrome paintings, where the gift lay in creating texture and emotions through strokes and varying shades of black and grey.
Often using animal glue as a binder, the black ash pigment was dried into small sticks or little saucers which needed to be rubbed with water to create a liquid ink. A recipe by the Greek scribe Dioscorides (40 – 90 AD) still survives on parchment.Īround 3000 BC, drawing ink appeared in China. Different recipes for carbon black can be found as far back in history as the ancient Egyptians and Greeks. It can be made from any ash, mixed with a binder such as water, white vinegar or gum Arabic- which is hardened sap from the Acacia tree. It flows well on the paper producing strong, crisp black lines or washes.Īlso known as Chinese ink, Indian ink stems from one of the oldest and most durable pigments of all time: carbon black. We wanted to run a small drawing workshop for the visitor team using Indian ink that we mixed and produced by ourselves.Ī permanent and opaque black, Indian ink mixes well with other colours creating cool dense tints. In this post, Dave explores the origins of Indian ink and takes our audience through a workshop in which we made our own ink drawings.ĭrawing workshop in the Learning Studio on Twelfth Night 6 th January 2020.
