They are not substitutes. Practicing with "grinded" ink and paper is the fastest way to gain progress since the propensity, density, and characterisitcs of ink and water are different inside the brush hairs and on the paper. These videos of water writing are not intended to encourage practices without real ink and Shuan paper.
