That's the stuff.  I use a mixture of about 3 parts water to 2 parts
Future, 
mixed with the appropriate amount of ink.  The only pre-made washed that
I 
have right now are black and brown, and I mix others as needed.

Fantastic stuff.  I've had really great results by makig a magic wash
out of 
Vallejo's "Smoke" ink; instant weathering.
