In reply to Lin Chen. Thank you for sharing that info. I have not yet tried ink so this info comes in handy.

Thank you for the wonderful lesson! I really like your way of teaching and organized material! I will try the brush and ink next time in my sketches… is it water resistant as pens?

In reply to matt. thank you that makes sense, although I've never tried it, I really do like the effectiveness of the black ink

In reply to Maureen Anderson. Yes, but the blacks will not be quite as strong. Just be sure to apply the gouache after all of the watercolor has been added. If you apply the gouache first, the watercolor applications will reactivate the gouache and you'll end up with a mess.

can black gouache be used instead of black ink?

you could use a thicker pointed sable brush, fill the entire brush with water and only the tip – about one third of the hair – with ink. That way you get better line quality, a richer variety of tones, and save the brush from ink damage. Just be sure not to let it dry entirely with the ink on up to the handle. Wash the brush with a mild soap after use. It will last for years.
