🖌 What is Line and Wash? Line and wash is a two-step painting technique where a soft, flowing watercolor wash is applied first, and then fine ink details are added on top. The watercolor creates a loose, organic background, while the ink adds structure, definition, and contrast. This technique is popular because it balances the spontaneity of watercolor with the control of fine-line drawing, making it accessible for all skill levels.
