FPN Dumas Tulipe Noire Scans

[Limner]

Here are my scans of the new FPN ink color, Dumas Tulipe Noire. I'll break this into two posts so that I can upload each page separately.

 

I added a few samples of my own under Elaine's--I was trying to find out if the ink would shade at all, but I only got very subtle shading in my wettest wet noodle.

 

Below:

Thanks for the scan!

OOOOHHHH AAAAAHHHH !! Can't wait! Love it!

[Limner]

...and:

 

FPN Notepad

Clairefontaine Pad

 

Edited to add: since I had the pens inked up anyway, at the bottom I've added a sample of pen & ink with inkwash...Dumas circa 1832. The pens used were Waterman 52 wet noodle; Pelikan M205 with XXXF/XXF flex duopoint; and Niji waterbrushes.

I think I found the ink for my black Sapporo Mini

ooooh... yeah.

 

No, I won't wait until summer. Just an "appropriate" length of time. Like, when the Tulipe Noire gets here, maybe? (Taki knows what I mean.)

Can't wait to see what my B nibs do with it.

Sounds good to me

Nice work, Limner! That portrait looks great! Is it Dumas the Father or Dumas the Son?

[Elaine]

Limner, that portrait is perfect - color and all! Could we (by that I mean you) add that to the label thread?

Hi HyperCamper,

 

Thanks for the compliments--it's Dumas pere (in his youth)--after a portrait by Achille Deveria (below).

The bummer is this looks very close to my R & S Alt Bordeaux. Of which I have an entire bottle still.

[DovR]

Great job Limner!

 

Got me drooling......

[SamCapote]

I didn't see all these scans before. That is really a winning color.

Excellent! Nightshade is my most favorite Noodler's color, so the Tulip will be an acquisition.

Thanks Limner.
