In my ink painting experimentation I have not yet settled on 'brushes' or layering approaches yet - though I quite like the soft single swipe of colour with a squeegee over graphite pencil.
Megan (http://www.meganbiceartist.com/) did some experimental swatches of different inks and paints that could give some techniques to try - see below.
On Thursday I not only tested the single swipe using a squeegee as in the opening photo; but I also tried glad wrap over wet acrylic ink with a base image of marker pen; and glad wrap over base image drawn with marker pen. Some process photos follow.

Outcome of the experimentation follow.

Some conclusions include: the marker pens cannot hold up under the ink. Both on the wall image and fishing hut images the colour was wiped out. Pencil is still good for doing base images - I will test coloured graphite pencils!!! It is better to leave glad wrap over the image until it dries. Gladwrap is good if one is after a textured layer look.
