ink drawings

Art using pigment

Ink drawings are artworks created with ink applied to a surface, typically paper.

The medium ranges from fine pen work to bold brush strokes, producing images that rely on line, hatching, and wash rather than color.

The museum's collection includes ink drawings by Rembrandt.

The term distinguishes these works from pencil sketches, paintings, or prints.
