inkston also publishes some tips from Mustard Seed Garden here:
the Wenzhou papers and Japanese papers are from mulberry tree bark rather than the Qing Tan used in Xuan paper. The Song papers are a special blend and each one is different.
Plus is normally the 138 x 170cm size of paper which is nearly twice the size of the standard 100 x 50xm, see the paper size chart and explanation here:
the actual sizes are specified on the product descriptions:

These are setting the paintings in their historical context more than specifically commenting on materials and techniques.

Hi nurimmas,Yes, you need to grind them and add some clean water drops to the color. Or add water drops to the pigments and then grind them. If you are familiar with using gelatin/ glue, you can also play the pigments with extra gelatin/ glue to create special effects.
We have uploaded some photos on this page about colour preparation:

Yes it would be great to have more subtitles… it’s time consuming to do.
to refer to any other videos and links on the forums, just put the link on a separate line and the embedding etc will happen automatically…
If your ink is coming out grey, do you have good quality ink? that’s the first question – I’ve seen a lot of comments around the internet about some of the cheaper inks that turn out too grey. All the inks on inkston should be ok, for example Jin Bu Yi is popular and there are also special inks for more deep or glossy black effects.
And did you mix the ink yourself?Thanks for the suggestion tibiliu, actually there is an „edit“ link for forum posts but it was only available for 10 minutes after posting, I have just increased it to 24 hours.
The idea is that the forum discussion is a conversation so apart from correcting initial typographical errors, you would normally add a new reply to the conversation rather than change what you originally said.
It’s now even easier to join the discussion on inkston. Even if you don’t have an account yet, with the one-click login with Facebook, Google or LinkedIn you can get started straight away. Alternatively, just enter your email address for immediate access.
The forums have improved too, images are now automatically resized and added to slideshow.
