Jacques Herbin Nude By Marc-Antoine Coulon

[Intensity]

Hm I have the pastel-purple-tinted G. Lalo pad, and I love the paper itself. But it is indeed not optimal for a lot of inks. I naturally started adding a line of each new ink to the same single sheet of this pad to figure out which inks look good on this paper, and which don't. Quite a few inks to reference at this time. Perhaps it's the lavender tone of the paper that makes it not look very good with many inks: for example Lie de The looks really washed out and bland on it. Any olive green as well. I should try Rouille d'Ancre and my Colorverse Brunch Date on it. I still find those perfectly usable on white and cream paper with higher flow pens.

 

My bottle of Rouille d'Ancre is a coral pink. Colorverse Brunch Date is a more beige version of Rouille d'Ancre with beautiful dark outlining.

I was referring to the G Lalo cards sets. Mode de Paris and Coreale cards sets. https://www.exaclair.com/brands_glalo.php

 

I do write with Bouquet d'Antan and Gris Nuage on white paper with my bold nibs, and I plan to get the other lights colors.

But, not Rouille d'Ancre and the color reviewed here, which name I find in bad taste, because I don't like beige.

 

Herbin could have surely found a better name for it like Ballet Slippers or the name of a flower in that color.

[bluebellrose]

Those very light inks are made to write on dark paper, especially G.Lalo stationery, which is -the- classic formal stationery in France, since the 1920's.

 

The pale Rouille d'Ancre and this ink, which I call a pale warm beige that reminds me of caramel ice cream, have followed Rose Tendresse, Diabolo Menthe, Bleu Azur and Gris Nuage in the ultra light, cannot really be read on white paper, inks.

 

At school, in art classes, I wrote on Canson color paper (Canson Mi-Teintes) with a dip pen and light color inks.

 

 

Canson has expended its line of color paper, many with a dark hue, for art and craft, they now have 2 other lines.

 

Herbin has expended its sets of writing instruments with a goose quill, reed pen, glass pens, 2 fountain pens and one refillable with ink cartridge roller ball pen, they, now, also offers 8 writing sets with dip pens.

 

 

That color is the only one available for girls and women's ballet shoes and tights in the most available brands, from dance studios.

 

I am much paler than that color and asked to buy white ballet shoes. White and black ballet shoes were reserved for boys and men dancers.

 

 

As far as makeup is concerned, I had to wait until Shiseido introduced their makeup line in France, to find a foundation shade that wasn't pale honey, or weak tea with milk.

 

In the U.S, I also saw the same thing, until one makeup brand, hired Halle Berry, ensuring a wide spectrum of foundation shades.

 

 

An Albert Durer Watercolor pencils has almost the same shade which they now call Beige Red, it is a pinky beige, the hue of ballet slippers.

You missed the newly expanded writing instruments consisting of refillable markers that can take all of their inks including the pigment inks.

 

I don't see this as a fountain pen ink but more of a refillable marker ink. A refillable marker ink that works in preppies. I see this color in crayola markers. I don't think it was designed for dark paper, it's not saturated or opaque enough to work. Someone tried it on the first page.

 

Look sharp Platinum. You've got competition now!

Please do show us some writing samples of such pale transparent inks on darker paper. I for one very much doubt their visibility given how transparent they are. After all they are dye-based inks and not pigmented ones. As I've shown in an earlier reply, it's definitely invisible on black paper. I would love to see some samples of such inks being legible on coloured paper.

I don't think she did her research properly. If she had she would have known about their venture into the refillable marker range to compete with Platinum.

I didn't realize they were refillable. It is a very nice addition to Herbin's lineup.

I did that a long time ago, when I was a little girl.

 

I now, use some of the light inks on white fountain pen friendly paper.

Ghastly.

(Tomoe River. With Han Chinese male skin)

 

 

 

I'm pretty sure that this a little darker than my skin. I would not use this ink. DANG. What happened to the rest of the dye?

like I said. This is not a fp ink like you would expect, But rather a marker ink that doesn't destroy the feed of preppies.

 

And its not even cataloged as a fp ink. Its under their creative artists collection.

For writing? 😂.

 

For illustration? I can see an ink that washed out to this colour when diluted being useful, in fact I have and use dye based markers which do just that. I cannot for the life of me see the point of this weak and transparent ink though, especially at that price point! No reason why you wouldn't buy a pan of "naples yellow reddish" watercolour for £4 instead. It would last infinitely longer and avoid offensive naming conventions. It's a perfectly pleasant colour but I really don't understand the point.

it's environmentally friendly because it goes into a refillable marker!

[bluebellrose]

Looks like Herbin released new inks called watercolor inks with a huge disclaimer that it's for artistic use only because of the response to this ink.

[Jared]

Interesting, but it looks like what I'd expect to see if I was washing my pen out. As washed-out as it looks, if it's got some lubricity, I'd be impressed.
