Manuscript's solid Chinese Ink Stick offers an authentic means to creating Chinese calligraphy and brush paintings. The solid ink is also commonly used in many other disciplines including calligraphy practise with a dip pen & nib. By grinding the Solid ink stick against the ink stone, you will be able to control the depth of colour that you require. Grind a little bit and add more water and you will create a light grey, muted tone. Repeatedly grind and add less water for a more saturated and in depth black pigment.
