India Ink + Watercolor?

Kim asked:


I’ve read online one way to make a realistic painting is to use India ink, water color, and colored pencil. What I don’t understand is how can one put watercolor on top of India ink and keep from running/mixing?

I just dont get how whats going to pan out, thanks.

   The pigment will depend more on the watercolor paint it depends on the ink is waterproof but the pigment will move when the effect you can be clean and sharp adding colored.

   I would experiment with putting the India Ink last in the process.
