Winsor & Newton Collection Drawing Ink Set, Black, White, Metallic

Very nice

The metallics are particularly striking although the gold needs a few coats and regular mixing to work fully. The white is a bit insipid and also needs a few coats. Black and silver are excellent.

the size is a bit small for everyday use and metallic colors are a bit difficult to work with for the newbie

I loved the colours 😍

Je recherchais un produit couvant et brillant pour mes colos et ce produit est vraiment top . Le noir est magnifique, le blanc est super couvrant et le bronze et l'argent aussi . En plus même sur du papier fin ca ne traverse pas . En plus avoir les 4 en même temps c'est encore mieux .👍

I bought Henry Collection pack and love the vibrancy of colors. I bought them for painting and nib pen and modern calligraphy. I was hoping I could use them for lineart before watercolors but, as you can see in the video, all of them (except for the black) bleed. Brown doesn't bleed too much, so it can work if you are careful not to brush heavily on top of it. Things I really loved is that you can mix them to create new colors, you can also blend them while applying (like the green/blue/yellow on the leaf of the video) and they can dry as smooth blends (although it dries fast). When diluted with water you can create soft pastels which are still vibrant. The way they look reminds me of copic markers, so I will use them as a cheaper alternative. Because of all the uses I can give to them (painting with them similar to watercolors, or for calligraphy or even instead of alcohol ink markers), I would definitely recommend them. Also because of how pigmented these inks are. I have noticed that some reviews mention that a bottle leaked. In my case, it was sent to NY, then it traveled to Finland and my inks arrived in perfect condition. I'm really happy with them!

Presi per un regalo assieme all'altro set da 8 chine, sono piaciuti molto ed i risultati sono veramente notevoli.

Je ne les utilise pas tout le temps, mais il faut dire que l’encre est vraiment pigmenté et de bonne qualité. Je cherchais quelque chose pour commencer qui ne soit pas trop cher et j’ai trouvé ce kit. Facile d’utilisation mais demande un peu d’entraînement pour arriver à faire quelque chose de bien.

This is a great way to enter the world of artists inks. If you've never dabbled before, then be assured that the colours offered here, and the quality of the ink will not disappoint. Firstly, the outer packaging itself, though relatively flimsy, is enough to keep everything together in transit. But the bottles themselves are great - slightly wider at the bottom, and squat enough to reduce the risk of tipping them over in use. The inks themselves are incredible. The vibrancy and consistency of the colours is mind blowing. It really will take your art to another level. They can be used with a dip pen and/or applied with water as a wash. Using the 'wash' technique opens up a whole world of possibilites. They react well to different ratios of water offering a very subtle colouration, all the way to the supremely vivid. the colours also layer very well, allowing you to build up value or blend shades. From loose, washy sketches to fine line pen and ink drawings, these won't let you down. And, finally, for those worried about the 'value for money' given what seems like a small amount of ink per bottle - don't worry about that. You'll use very small amounts of ink to achieve the desired effect. I can imagine these lasting for a very long time to come.
