DANIEL SMITH DS WALNUT INK 2OZ BOTTLE

What I don't like about this ink: It's very transparent and light, I wish it was darker.What I DO like: Everything else! This ink, when used with a leonardt principal or hunt imperial on 100% cotton vellum is a dream! It's unlike any other ink I have. It doesn't bleed or feather. It doesn't flow from the pen too quickly, I can achieve the finest hairlines. Normally when you come off of a shade into a hairline sometimes the flow doesn't stop with other inks, but this ink lessens it's flow immediately, allowing for amazing control. It's thin like a water color ink would be, but I have water color inks and they will flow from the pen like a fountain, giving you very fat hairlines. I'm not sure what the secret ingredient is but I definitely recommend this ink to all pointed pen calligraphers.

excelente para practicar pintura y escritura, el color nogal es maravilloso y rico, excelente para practicar pintura y dibujo renacentista.

I like the fact that it is a delicate colour and flows well off a brush. I use it with my water colour paints.

Die Walnut Ink wurde schneller als erwartet ausgeliefert und ich bin sehr zufrieden mit ihrer Qualität.

This was one of the very first inks I bought when I started learning dip pen calligraphy. Considering the high quality, the perfect viscosity and flow, and the ease of cleaning it off my nibs, it's a fantastic price, which makes it my favorite practice ink. I never have to thin it; just open the container, dip, and write. It results in writing with such wonderful character, and I think yields a fun vintage feel to the finished product. I highly recommend this brand of walnut ink and also recommend it as a good choice for beginners to learn.
