What is the purpose of Art?
What is the ART? Ink particles flow through water, creating unique patterns. As if under some kind of spell colours shift into other dimensions , changing, hiding and dissolving. It takes your breath away.
Pure delight.
This is real magic. It might seem like that all magic is chaos. But what if I told you, that it is not what it seems? The thing is, all of this has been planned. Behind each picture was a sketch, I thought about how to compose every single one. In this video I will explain how I created these 9 pictures for Inktober.
We live in amazing times. AI gives us the opportunity to generate anything at any time. And the most important thing is you can generate any picture in a second. It might seem like there is no need for ART, that it is unnecessary and useless.
All of this is illusion.
Despite the fact that AI has been with us for several years now, we did not give up Inktober, we are as usual walking into art stores, choosing sketchbooks and paints. And companies still create for us wonderful pigments and products. The world has not stopped. We haven’t stopped being human.
While many people are looking for a magic wand I will show you a different way. Behind magic stand days of work. Planning and sketching. This is the foundation of real magic, which guaranties the result and save you from wasting days, months and even years, when you can find yourself in sutuation where quantity does not equal quality.

Chromo inks can also be very gentle and transparent, working in complimentory colours like reds and greens.
While choosing inks you should rely on real samples. If you are bying inks in an art store, you can ask for real samples, they often have custom ones for clients.
Before working with Ink always create small sketches, carefully plan your composition and test your tonal range. This aproach can make the painting process much easier and predictable. These tests will save you from headaches.
