Watching over a strange world

I love to paint with acrylic inks. I know that these inks are either used with an airbrush or poured on a surface. I am doing none of that. I use these inks with a brush on watercolor paper in a very small format.

With this image I used a new technique (new for me!): I used glazes and washes in the last stage of the painting. Acrylic inks are highly pigmented, and so it takes quite a lot of drops of water to thin them down. I used a dark brown glaze to darken parts of the painting and a yellow glaze to lighten up the parts on which I wanted to put a focus.
