Winsor & Newton Black Indian Drawing Ink 14ml

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Intense, flexible, waterproof This W&N black has been at my side for three decades and is a dependable mainstay of my work. Probably, the key fact to note here is 'Waterproof'. It is certainly a great ink for many uses that don't require that quality but is fabulous for when you do. There are many uses for which being waterproof is great but the two most obvious are when you want to draw in ink and then paint over in watercolour or even acrylic and the second is when you want to apply further ink, either neat or thinned with water. The ink is rich and deep black with a very slight sheen towards blue. This is probably most noticeable if applied very thickly and pools before setting dry. You can add increasing amounts of water (W&N recommend distilled water but I use tap) to get lovely grey tones. Be aware of course that you need to be wiping the ink off your dip pens/nibs in between re-loading with a tissue and regularly swirling in some water to ensure the ink doesn't dry permanently on to the pen. Also, DO NOT use in any type of fountain pen style art pen unless you're happy to chuck it after one use. This is great ink and you can use it in pens, brushes, pads, fingers, splatters from toothbrushes, drips, pours and with stencils on all kinds of surfaces. Give it a try.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Versatile permanent drawing media The ink was bought for my sister who has a sheep farm in Wales. Appropriate art materials are not always readily available. She wants to practise a technique she learnt many years ago, sketching with a dip in nib.I explained crosshatching is possible, together with a monochromatic wash technique where the ink is watered down into different tones. Application of a wax candle prior to the ink can produce interesting texture techniques.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent I've always been a Hobbycraft shopper, but will be shopping more and more with them in future - the range of items that's available is excellent, and with Amazon continuing to provide poorer and poorer service and introducing their recent ridiculous policies on packaging (items arriving poorly packaged due to hidden opt-ins for types of packaging) and doing away with free returns I'll be shopping more and more elsewhere.
