Lascaux Tusche Wash Oil-based Ink Monotype ghost printsThis tusche has handling qualities similar to ink and can be diluted to make graduated washes typical of stone lithography. By scratching into the dry marks, delicate non printing lines can be created. Work on a clean white horizontal surface or a lightbox. Shake the container very thoroughly before squeezing some tusche into a china or glass bowl. Different types of brushes, paint shapers, rags and sponges can be used.
