From my limited use so far, Herbin VdeG seems like a less saturated, less sombre and less paper dependent version of R&K Verdigris. Less really can be more :)

 

Thanks for the lovely ramble :wub:

Love it when you do these, Tas! :)

 

Thank you. Makes me realise how much time, effort and love goes into the many "real" ink reviews here.

I didn't get on with R&K Verdigris. Too saturated and too shouty for me. I mixed it with grey's and blacks and reds to get something a little more to my taste. It all eventually ended up in the same bottle though. I plan to ramble on about that journey one day soon . . .

Ah, but they don't have your wonderful little stick man who manages to be so expressive despite being a stick man! :)

Fun review that shows off the ink very well ! I've my own bottle in the mail - and this review confirms that I made the right choice ordering it. Should arrive tomorrow, and I can't wait to ink up a pen with it.

Love your ramblings :) I'd previously convinced myself that I didn't need this ink, but we'll see how long that lasts... there's a nice range of darkness in the Statue of Liberty picture that I didn't expect based on other pictures.

Thank you for the great review!

:) Looking forward to your thoughts on it soon.

 

I know it's not my kind of colour (mine are those "saturated and shouty" kinds :lol:), but it's a lovely "rambling" Tas!

Thank you. Happy to send you over a sample if you'd like a little more convincing. It is a little paper dependant. A lot of it's subtleties are lost on The Rhodia. Tomoe River, as ever, loves it . . .

Love your handwriting and drawing!

And I like Vert de Gris from what I've seen so far. It looks like a subtler, calmer (more soothing?) version of RK Verdigris.

Tas, your love of cloudy, darkish colors has definitely rubbed off on me! : )

Ok I did my best... I have no training as an artist... I cannot compare to you at all. But after agonizing minutes... I was finally able to do something quite close to my likeness....

 

Hopefully, you like it...

      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
