Winsor & Newton, Deep Red Drawing Ink, 14ml Bottle, Acrylic

This violet ink is rich, saturated, and easy to work with. It flows beautifully from both brush and dip pen, dries quickly, and layers well without lifting. The finish is smooth and slightly glossy thanks to the shellac base, giving it a polished look even in simple linework. It’s dye-based, so don’t expect perfect lightfastness—but for sketchbooks, illustration, and mixed media? It’s a gem. Great color, great control, and a classic for a reason.

This ink is some of the best ink I have ever used. I cannot believe I got such a god product for so cheap. I draw all the time and use it again and again. The black color is true black and doesn't have any green or blue undertones. It goes on the paper beautifully, does not bleed, dries in appropriate time and easily wipes off surfaces! When using other ink it stains my hands sometimes for a week. This ink stays on paper but comes right off of my hands! If it's dry I can just scratch it off and it also comes off easily with soap and water. Im buying more the second I run out. I am so happy with this purchase. I attached a photo to show the ink. One wet and one dry.

Elegant bit of glassware. I originally set out to buy an inkwell and for little more or less the cost have a wonderful. Beautifully labeled little treasure and wonderful ink.

Everything about this ink is very good. It feels great to write with. But the Vermillion is not close to how it looks. The container ~does look exactly like the photo, tbf. But when you write with it, the ink is more of a...watermelon. Almost a dark bubblegum. If this is the color you are going for, then this is your ink. I think I'll still keep it, because I do like the pink it makes. On an off-white paper it makes a delicious looking watermelon.

I use this ink in my coloring books and collage to make easy splatters on the pages. I love this product and keep ordering it.

This ink was just what I was looking for. I'm a watercolor/mixed media artist and like to add embellishments to some of my abstract art. I use metallic watercolor but sometimes that just isn't strong/bright enough. This Winsor & Newton Gold Drawing Ink fits the bill. The color is strong, has great coverage, and adds just enough "Wow" to my work. You have to remember to shake the bottle well before opening it to use, and I then use my paint brush to get the ink in the cap. I find this is usually just enough paint for what I'm doing, if not, I simply replace the lid and shake again. The ink washes out of my brush with water and can also be thinned with a small amount of water. I read in a review or two that the cap becomes "glued" to the bottle sometimes, To prevent this, using my finger, I carefully apply a very small amount of Vaseline around the outside of the neck of the bottle before screwing on the lid for the first time. I use this same hint on all my tubes of watercolor/acrylic/oil paint. There is plenty of ink in the bottle for me to use on many, many projects, but if and when I run out, I will order again.

Everything you expect from an ink, it's key point is that there's so little that is bad about it. Consistency isn't perfect for every application, however I found that just diluting it with water works for fountain pens. So its consistency actually works well. Overall it is perfect overall.

Nice consistency and flow. Works well with my dip pen.
