Thanks to
Karen from
Exaclair for this sample of
J. Herbin Encre de Chine India ink.
2 minute video testing the
J. Herbin India ink with a
Pentel Neo-Sable 6 round brush (FYI: I have never tried the service of the
Stationery Art website, but they have several pictures and basic info on this synthetic brush that I picked up at a
Kinokuniya stationery store a few years ago) on white card stock.
Test doodle on
Georgia Pacific white card stock. Given its shellac type lacquer formulation some sections dry with quite a bit of shine depending on the viewing angle.
Drew this quick coloring outline on the
Maruman Art Spiral watercolor book.
Colored with
Winsor & Newton Artist's watercolours.
2 minute video testing the
J. Herbin India ink with a
Tachikawa dip pen on white card stock.
The lines drawn with the nib pen dried within seconds and remained undisturbed by the watercolor washes. Thus the
J. Herbin Encre de Chine would be a good choice for black ink drawings that you plan to immediately color with water based media.
These porcelain plates (starting on the top left corner and going clockwise) contained dried washes of
Lyra graphite crayon shavings,
Daniel Smith Quinacridone Gold watercolor stick, and
Faber Castell Albrecht Durer Lemon yellow aquarelle stick shavings (this last one was the harder to redissolve - notice the clump of yellow waxy residue 0n the bottom plate). The first two were easily reactivated with the
atomizer bottle and a wet brush.
For the last test of the evening made this
1-minute video checking if the dry graphite wash from the previous night could still be revived with some water and used for some sketching.
The reactivated
Lyra graphite crayon wash was still usable after drying up on the porcelain dish for a day.
