Tom Norton's Walnut Drawing Ink, Ultra Dark Brown

Tom Norton’s Ultra Dark Brown Walnut Ink is very heavily pigmented and made with the same binder as the original so it can be mixed without changing its working properties. When used straight from the bottle it is a very intense dark brown that adds a rich “punch” of color to your drawings.

Experience the rich walnut hue and superior rendering capabilities cherished by art legends like Rembrandt, DaVinci, and Van Gogh, all while knowing you're using an archival ink that stands the test of time.

But the benefits don't stop there! Unlike shellac or acrylic-based inks that dry permanent, Tom Norton’s Walnut Ink behaves more like watercolor, remaining water-soluble even after drying. This makes it a favorite among watercolorists for layering and lifting techniques, allowing for nuanced tonal adjustments with ease.

Calligraphers rave about its compatibility with both dip and fountain pens, appreciating its water-solubility for easy nib maintenance. Encaustic artists find it ideal for underpainting on wood substrates, as its water-soluble nature allows for seamless integration with wax paints. And artists across all mediums delight in its beautiful sepia tonal qualities, perfect for adding warmth and character to any piece.
