Daniel Smith Walnut Ink

This is the first time I have used a walnut ink and I love it. It dries to a sepia tone which gives my calligraphy a vintage feel. I really appreciate the wide mouth jar it comes in, too.

Jeg har prøvet nogle forskellige typer blæk, nogle er jeg blevet glad for, og andre har været en skuffelse. Efter at jeg flere gange har set, at andre har talt positivt om valnød blæk, har jeg været lidt nervøs for om de var betalt for at skrive noget positivt. Det undskylder jeg for nu. Jeg er helt utrolig positivt overrasket over stort set alt ved den. Det er helt sikkert ikke sidste gang jeg køber det. (Translation) I have tried a few different types of ink, some I have been happy with and others have been a disappointment. After I have seen several times that others have spoken positively about walnut ink, I have been a little nervous about whether they were paid to write something positive. I apologize for that for now. I am incredibly positively surprised by almost everything about it. It's definitely not the last time I buy it.

Add these crystals to water to make a wonderful fluid for writing. The ink can be layered with other watercolours or metallics & may be lifted to create lighter negative shapes or writing. A lovely way to create interesting work.

Very smooth, pleasing brown ink. An unexpected quality is that it flows generously and when blotted has a golden glow. Sort of shading, sort of sheening. I like it.

I like the old bottle better, but it's the same ink and the same amount. I've been using this ink for many years, to practice mostly: it's reliable and very rarely does it bleed--it does not bleed on the John Neal grid paper, and that's what I use to practice on. Clean up is easy.

Daniel Smith walnut ink has a nice, deep brown color. I use it in a broad-edged pen. It flows well from my pen.
