Chinese ink, known for the rich depth of its blackness, is traditionally made from soot mixed with animal glue. The most highly-regarded Chinese ink paintings are monochromatic because they are painted using a single color - black. The values are therefore created by varying the amount of water that is added to dilute the black, as well as altering the strength or lightness of the brushstroke upon the paper. Colors were considered vulgar in the Tang dynasty because, in the right hands, black ink was fully capable of expressing the artist’s vision. Chinese ink is made from a mixture of lampblack, carbon black, and bone black pigment ground together with hide glue.
