Tips from the show

• Pigment inks stay wet longer than dye inks, allowing you to blend colour on colour effectively.
• You can push the pigment ink pad directly through the stencil to get more concentrated colour.
• The oil-based consistency of pigment inks creates beautiful halos and blending effects that dye inks cannot achieve.
