I like to add color washes to warm up the tones but I don't like some of the color calligraphy inks available, So I tried using cheaper options i.e. leftover coffee and tea. Since the pigment is fairly watered down, I can keep layering it on to get subtle lines and textures. Also there's some oxidation that occurs whenever using these materials (green tea & wine especially), so the tones feel more natural to me. A bit unpredictable and time consuming, but that's all part of the fun. =)
