Ink can be used as a painting medium, it’s true. Based on the site “Visual Arts Cork” it states: “In fine art, the term 'pen and ink' denotes a drawing technique involving the use of black and other coloured inks which are applied to a support (generally paper) with either a dip pen or a reservoir pen. This traditional, versatile media has been used by Western artists since ancient-Egyptian times, for sketches, finished drawings or ink and wash paintings. It is also one of the main mediums involved in book illustration…”. Ink was used in the past to paint beautiful scenery’s and sketches. In today’s time many animators and illustrators use ink to animate cartoons.

Answer:

Manufacturers advocate the use of ink for both clearly defined line work or broad washes of subtle colour. Inks undoubtedly stand as a medium on their own, but are also great in mixed media pieces used as washes to unify areas in drawing, collage and pastel.So that ink can be used as a drawing and painting medium.
