De Atramentis Artist Green Grey

[yazeh]

De Atramentis Artist Green Grey has a Document sibling, which I won't be reviewing. The difference between the two is that the latter is forgery proof and is slightly more expensive than the former. 

 

This is one of those dreamy green, which is perfect for grey days, so that you can muse dreamy thoughts in the confines of your journal, in front of a nice fire

I really love this colour, and have enjoyed writing and drawing with it.  

 

 

Let's start with the chroma:

Writing samples:

You can see a comparison with Octopus Green Squirrel which is more olive and darker on Midori

It doesn't like thin copy paper as you see, it ghosts and bleeds  But on thick absorbent paper it's absolutely fine. 

Photo: Paper is Mnemosyne /Pen is Osmiroid with a Copperplate semi-flex nib

Comparison:

Watertest

And as usual an art work entitled, Least Endangered Species

The Squirrel is done, by Octopus Write and Draw, Green Squirrel 

The background is by De Atramentis Green Grey

and finally the Brown is by Octopus Fluids Sepia Schwartz (ink is not waterproof)

 

• Pens used: Pilot Kakuno, Ef, Lamy Safari (EF/F/M/B/Stub 1.1), Osmiroid Copperplate nib 
• What I liked: Lovely muted/subtle colour, shading.
• What I did not like: Nothing much. 
• What some might not like: Does not like copy paper. 
• Shading: Lovely
• Ghosting: Yes, on copy paper
• Bleed through: Yes, on copy paper
• Flow Rate: Wet
• Lubrication: Excellent
• Nib Dry-out: Didn’t notice.
• Start-up: Didn’t notice.
• Saturation: No
• Shading Potential: Excellent
• Sheen: No
• Spread / Feathering / Woolly Line: No
• Nib Creep / “Crud”: No
• Staining (pen): No
• Clogging: No
• Cleaning: On the easy side. Octopus Green Squirrel was slightly easier. 
• Water resistance: Excellent
• Availability:  50 ml bottles. 

 

Please don't hesitate to share your experience, writing samples or any other comments. The more the merrier

Hmm.  Another interesting color.  I like the look of it on Midori most.  And that halo-shading (for lack of a better word) from your flex nib in the photo is fabulous!   Artist-kitty and leaping-squirrel are fabulous!

 

Thank you, @yazeh for another great review!

Hmm... cat paints mouse, and gets observed by... guess what ? Great review as usual ! What I like most about this ink (and your review of same) is that such inks' colours are best depicted by the choice of pens and papers employed !!!
