Daseng Transparent White Ink is a water-based resist solution designed for use on absorbent rice paper, especially raw or unsized Xuan paper. When applied before washes, it helps preserve selected areas of the paper, creating masking and water-resistance effects for subjects such as moonlight, snow, rain, mist, ice, and frost.
Unlike opaque white ink, this transparent white ink can be diluted for softer, more subtle effects. It may also be mixed with sumi ink or watercolor to create delicate textures such as icicles, frost patterns, snow edges, and other special atmospheric effects in Chinese brush painting, watercolor, and experimental ink work.
For best results, shake well before use. Apply the ink and allow it to dry completely and naturally before adding washes. Do not use an iron or hair dryer to speed drying. Once dry, the ink becomes permanent and can be wet-mounted without smearing.
