These inks are fantastic; I've used them for decades. The colors are beautiful and easy to work with, whether I'm doing simple drawings or mixed-media projects. The attractive packaging doesn't hurt, either! Highly recommended.

Still love this line of product, however I have learned that the inks are prone to fade in UV light exposure. So disappointing! Apparently they are made with dyes and not pigments. So for me the options are to make prints, keep the originals out of bright rooms, or to use these inks as a creative base layer and then paint over them following my designs with lightfast paints. If I understand correctly, calligraphy inks are made with pigments and have better stability. I will experiment with them next.

This W&N black has been at my side for three decades and is a dependable mainstay of my work.Probably, the key fact to note here is 'Waterproof'. It is certainly a great ink for many uses that don't require that quality but is fabulous for when you do. There are many uses for which being waterproof is great but the two most obvious are when you want to draw in ink and then paint over in watercolour or even acrylic and the second is when you want to apply further ink, either neat or thinned with water.The ink is rich and deep black with a very slight sheen towards blue. This is probably most noticeable if applied very thickly and pools before setting dry.You can add increasing amounts of water (W&N recommend distilled water but I use tap) to get lovely grey ... MoreThis W&N black has been at my side for three decades and is a dependable mainstay of my work.Probably, the key fact to note here is 'Waterproof'.

Also, DO NOT use in any type of fountain pen style art pen unless you're happy to chuck it after one use.This is great ink and you can use it in pens, brushes, pads, fingers, splatters from toothbrushes, drips, pours and with stencils on all kinds of surfaces. Give it a try.

I've been using Windsor & Newton drawing inks for years on everything from cartoons and greeting cards to fine art drawings. I usually work in pen, ink and watercolor and these inks work well with the watercolors and sometimes result in some pretty happy accidents. I did an entire series of clowns for children's bedrooms (my grandchildren) and the colors are as sharp today as when I first made them nearly ten years ago, despite having been on display all that time. The colors are true and are light resistant, staying vibrant for years even when displayed in locations that would fade other inks. You do have to be careful and make sure brushes are really clean or the shellac will ruin them.
I purchased the nut brown and the silver. I used the nut brown in class this week and it was so underwhelming and did not blossom like the inks the instructor was using. I have not tried the silver yet. But at this moment - I would not recommend. If I thought I would be around Opus to try to return both inks - I would.
It's extremely difficult to find a good quality pigment-based ink that's non-waterproof. Most are dye-based, which can prove to be very fugitive over a surprising short span of time. But Winsor & Newton's Indian inks are made from lamp black, one of oldest, most durable, and lightfast pigments in the history of drawing. The Liquid Indian Ink doesn't contain shellac so you can use it in a brush pen and rework it with water somewhat after it dries. It's not the smoothest ink I've ever used, however. It feels like it wants to drag and the pigment particles somehow feel more pronounced. Higgins Eternal ink is definitely much smoother to work with, but it's also a combination of pigment and dye. It's hard to get around Winsor & Newton's use of one very trustworthy ... MoreIt's extremely difficult to find a good quality pigment-based ink that's non-waterproof.

It's hard to get around Winsor & Newton's use of one very trustworthy pigment if you're looking for a stable, permanent drawing ink for fine art. On an unscientific note, it smells very badly of what can only be described as old-lady perfume. I don't what it is, but it hits you in the face as soon as you open the bottle and lingers on the paper long after the ink has dried.
I'm still fairly new to drawing inks, but W&N have a fantastic product here. The ink is a rich black, dries quickly (when spread evenly), and is 100% waterproof. I've currently been using it for small personal illustrations with both a dip pen and brush and it is 100% up there with Sakura archival pen ink. It is on the expensive side but for me it is worth the cost.
This appears to be the only product having this product's characteristics. It's made with lamp black but only the Indian drawing ink is made like that, with the dragon on the label. Creates interesting effects and is more like a watercolor. Not waterproof. The price is fairly high but a little goes a long way. I hope Winsor Newton continues to make this particular product.
I'll admit, when I got into traditional inking I went through a lot of really bad inks. Then I found Winsor & Newton inks and I fell in love. The colors are incredibly pigmented and have a lovely vibrancy and application to them. I recently bought some colored ones (began with the plain India ink black) and while they don't have the same thick, lasting consistency as black, their vibrancy and gorgeous fade between light and dark more than make up for it. If you're looking for good drawing inks, this is my go to.
Great ink! Did what it says it does. I used this ink with watercolor and guache, it stayed put. No bleeding or feathering no matter how much water i used. Love it!
