An image recording method including the steps of applying an ink containing a coloring material and anionic resin particles to a recording medium; and applying a liquid composition to the recording medium so as to at least partly overlap with an area where the ink is applied, the liquid composition destabilizing a dispersion state of the coloring material or of the anionic resin particles in the ink. The ink contains a polyamine compound having a group formed by substituting a hydrogen atom of an amino group by a structure represented by —Rnn—H, where R is an alkyleneoxy group including an ethyleneoxy group, and the number of Rs per molecule is 5 or more and 180 or less.
