What are acrylic inks?
These are the most fluid of the range which means they can be used with a variety of exciting tools like calligraphy pens, dip pens, fine brushes and airbrushes. Liquid acrylics are available in bottles with dropper caps, as spray paints and acrylic markers. These are similar to concentrated inks – very bright and especially good for watercolour effects and washes.
