In this instructional segment, artist Jason Nicholas showcases his preferred method for working with Birmingham inks. He demonstrates dipping his brush, dabbing it onto paper, and allowing the ink to pool in select spots to achieve deeper, darker tones. He contrasts these pooled dark areas with lighter sections, then blends the two by bleeding the ink together, creating a smooth transition between light and dark. The brief demo emphasizes a hands‑on, experimental approach to ink handling and visual effect.
