CHOOSE BY PRACTICE
Start with what you want to make: work with ink, draw and paint, build volume or prepare traced incense.
Each entry brings together the materials used for that practice. This makes it easier to compare a paper, brush, pigment or modelling tool according to its actual function rather than browsing products without context.
Where to start?
The heart of Ikane .
Ink sticks, textured papers, paintbrushes,
inkwells, small bowls, calligraphy mats.
Working with solid ink allows for progressive control of the color and intensity of the line or wash.
The gesture adjusts the material.
Graphite pencils, colored pencils, watercolor pencils.
Textured papers, sketchbooks, suitable pads.
The choice of paper is crucial; grain, absorbency and resistance all influence accuracy.
Modeling, sculpting and pottery tools, shaping, cutting and detailing instruments.
Working with materials engages the body.
The precision of the tools determines the shape.
