Can I use inks instead of acrylic paints?
Yes! If you’d like to move towards a more sustainable art practice, as I’ve been doing over the last couple of years, I encourage you to use India Ink for your black background. You would still need a acrylic marker or gel pen to go over the ink, but not using acrylic for the base makes a good reduction in use of plastic. You could also use these techniques with watercolors and fountain pens, the effect will just be different than the white on black. You can also use posca pen and gel pen over some watercolors. (It’s important to test first.)
