Ink wash goes dark fast and never comes back lighter. Test the dilution on scrap, and build up in thin layers — one over-dark wash can flatten a whole passage with no way to recover.
淡彩变深很快，而且回不了浅。先在废纸上测试稀释度，用薄层慢慢加——一次过深的淡彩会压平一整块，无从挽回。
A rainy street in brush and ink: waterproof fineliner for the building edges, then three ink washes — pale sky, mid pavement, dark doorways — over the top. The line holds the drawing; the wash carries the wet grey light.
毛笔加墨画雨中街道：防水针管笔画建筑边缘，再罩三层淡彩——浅天空、中路面、深门洞。线条撑住画面；淡彩承载潮湿的灰光。
Ink cannot be erased, so it teaches decisiveness: build value with pen marks, sweep from thin to thick with the brush, layer ink wash light-to-dark, and turn mistakes into decisions.
墨水不能擦，所以它教果断：用钢笔笔触建立明度，用毛笔从细扫到粗，把淡彩从浅叠到深，把失误变成决定。
