Really liked the plastic cylinder case used to protect the bottle of
Holbein Special Opaque Black Drawing Ink. I would imagine that this sleek packaging might also help cut down on solvent evaporation while in storage.
Broad base for stability and precision dropper for dispensing ink neatly with ease.
The bottom of the ink bottle cleverly fits over the square peg inside its plastic cylinder case, so the bottle stays firmly in place without rotating inside it.
The bottle label cautions against storing or working with this ink near a flame or heat source since it is combustible. Its alcohol smell reminds me of
Copic inks, so its solvent might be also alcohol-based.
Sample doodle drawn with a
Pentel Neo-Sable No. 6 synthetic round brush on white card stock.
Had originally intended to use a
Winsor & Newton Series 7 No. 2 Kolinsky round sable brush, but I feared that this ink's solvent might dry up the natural hairs prematurely.
Some test mark making with a
Winsor & Newton Sceptre Gold No. 4 round blended brush.
Some lines might take a tad longer to dry up if applied too heavily with the side of the brush.
This acrylic-based ink flowed fairly smoothly on
Canson bristol paper, but it dried rather quickly in the small bowl. Will try diluting it with water or even
Copic solvent to see if I can make it last longer before it dries up. The dried film required a bit more scrubbing in order to wash off completely from the porcelain plate.
