L'artisan Pastellier Encre Classique Brun Ours

[lgsoltek]

"Brun ours" means brown bear. This is a grey brown which reminds me of R&K Sepia (but I don't have it with me to compare).

 

The ink is medium saturated, watery but not lubricating. Nice shading.

I like this ink

Yea, I like it, also. Thanks.

Hmmm. I may have to try this one, and see how close it is some vintage Skrip Brown (red box) that said "sepia" on some sides of the box. Unfortunately, the bottle leaked (and it was one of the good glass Skrip bottle with the built in inkwell in the top ). So I've been trying to find a close match for the color.

I keep doing this.... I find some ink that looks interesting and then try to find a modern ink to match as best as I can.

Thanks for the review.... And not....

Nice one - I'm into "shades of grey" at the moment, and this grey-brown fits right in. Also... I really like the Callifolio line of L'Artisan Pastellier, and it might be worth it to take a closer look at their Encres Classiques.

Who wouldn't give an ink a chance with such a wonderful name?

 

I did & was glad I did, a wonderful brown, without red; altho I like those as well, I enjoy the cooler browns @ times.

Stunning grey-brown--thanks for the review!

I was sent a small sample vile of this ink with the Pelikan Marbled Brown EF that I ordered.

It does look sort of R&K sepia or cuttle fish sepia-ish.

EF is not a nib for a a shading ink. I'll have to put that in an M or even a B to see what it will do on fairly good paper.

 

Happened to find a sheet of M&K 95 typing paper...sized on one side only, and there was a slight bit of shading with the EF nib.

 

(Any of the three M&K papers are the only Brunner paper worth buying)

Nice one. I know the Callifolio series. This one is new to me.

So many inks....

I love this ink. My favorite brown. Thank you for the review.

Wait a minute.

 

I have this ink!

 

I can't believe I forgot that I bought it a while back. I haven't inked a pen with it yet, because I've been doing online classes lately, so I'd forgotten it!
