The KWZI colour range has a feel of the Scottish Highlands about them. Rich purples, greens and ochres – mountains, bracken, tartan (Outlander!) … BUT just to demonstrate how creative these KWZI inks can be, this test involves a blend of Honey and Grey Plum. Using wet in wet on a heavy Bockingford, the inks have created their own scene. All I have done is add a hint of bracken in the foreground and a figure in the midfield. I flicked some bleach onto the art while still wet to add a little more drama and then flicked clean water on the art once dry allowing the water to settle before blotting and removing some spots of the ink giving the art a mystical quality. Why not give it a go?

Claudia - Artwork in the post to you first thing tomorrow. Thanks again for supplying the samples. I've spent a long time testing many inks, of which many are disappointing. These are are fabulous!

Gorgeous! These 2 and Hunter Green are ones I've been meaning to pick up.

(I showed my daughter some of your work and she was so impressed that she's decided to "ink & bleach" for her next art assignment)

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
