Under construction!

I decided to place all my bottled inks colors under this page.  If I have blogged about the inks (a slow process and a labor of love for me) you can see that as the inks will be shown in the long images (left) versus the shorter images (right, examples above).

Ink images can take the form of any of the above before being posted in a blog.

Shimmer inks are listed by their primary color below,
or on the page: SHIMMER INKS (under construction).

Note: Blackstone is no longer making inks, whether this is a temporary stop due to Covid or a permanent one we are not sure.  Nemosine is discontinued,
but Josh is now making inks with his brother Nick at Birmingham,
and I am placing Nemosine on Birmingham’s Maker’s page!
Regarding Birmingham inks, you will note that I have some marked as “OLD”;
these are from the old line, and will be next to the new formula.

GREY, with soluble BLACKS

Note: Greys are so changeable with water and light in ink painting.
Also, greys are chosen based on their name (charcoal, pencil, or graphite or grey)
or by pigment, which means I put them into the lineup because they can be
used as a grey from a painterly point of view.

NOTE: The journals I am using are several fairly awful
Fabriano watercolor journals that
pill, fall apart, and are unsuitable for watercolors,
and I decided to use these for my watercolor
and ink swatch books.
Unfortunately, they have even bled through
in my ink swatches a couple of times.
