Today's Tutorial is about Using the Aquapainter with Classic Ink Pads for watercoloring.
There are two ways to pick up in from the Classic Ink.
One way is to make an ink well in the cover by squeezing the lid into the ink while still closed. Then open the lid and you will see a little ink well. This is what it will look like:
Or, you can get the ink directly from the ink pad like so:
To change colors all you have to do is move your aquapainter across your paper till it runs clear and then you can move to the next color:
Then you can continue to paint your picture!
BIG TIP if your aquapainter seems to be leaving a bunch of water then I recommend that you dry your aquapaint off on the paper a bit before picking up new color. You will know it it's leaving water when it bunchs in a puddle on your picture. If this should happen DON'T PANIC! Take a papertowel or kleenex and put just the edge of the paper into the puddle and it will soak up the extra water. This works 99% of the time. If you have any questions, just ask and I'll get back to you!
