 Welcome, samikwest,

I'll ask the North Light editors whether they know of a book that covers the ink and gouache resist technique. In the meantime, you might try a Google search with the phrase "ink and gouache resist."  I got a good number of hits with this, the first being a demo from our sister message board WetCanvas.com. To see the demo, click here or paste this URL in your browser: http://www.wetcanvas.com/Articles2/17097/662/

Be sure you post an image of your gouache and ink resist when you finish. We'd love to see it.

Hello, samikwest,

I've heard back from the North Light editors, and they don't recall any books that include an ink and gouache technique.

In October 2009, however, Journal Spilling by Diana Trout will come out. It’s a book with a focus on art journaling for beginners, and there are a lot of wet media techniques in it, including resists with gel pen, wax paper, salt, oil pastels and so on. It's targeted more to the craft audience than to the traditional fine artist, but the editor tells me it should be a very fun and colorful book.
