- Collection Drawing Ink Set, Set of 4, Rich Tones

These inks are truly beautifully rich. The colors are vibrant and consistent. The thickness of the ink is perfect and you can get a lot of uses out of a set of jars this size.

This brand is so good , and worth the price . Good quality acrylic ink

I bought Henry Collection pack and love the vibrancy of colors. I bought them for painting and nib pen and modern calligraphy. I was hoping I could use them for lineart before watercolors but, as you can see in the video, all of them (except for the black) bleed. Brown doesn't bleed too much, so it can work if you are careful not to brush heavily on top of it. Things I really loved is that you can mix them to create new colors, you can also blend them while applying (like the green/blue/yellow on the leaf of the video) and they can dry as smooth blends (although it dries fast). When diluted with water you can create soft pastels which are still vibrant. The way they look reminds me of copic markers, so I will use them as a cheaper alternative. Because of all the uses I can give to them (painting with them similar to watercolors, or for calligraphy or even instead of alcohol ink markers), I would definitely recommend them. Also because of how pigmented these inks are. I have noticed that some reviews mention that a bottle leaked. In my case, it was sent to NY, then it traveled to Finland and my inks arrived in perfect condition. I'm really happy with them!

These are very nice inks but I’m telling you, I bought the Henry collection and the emerald is straight blue, maybe I’m tripping, pretty sure I’m not. Also someone said these inks aren’t for fountain pens, dead wrong, use em for whatever you want. :) just make sure you buy an extra green if you get the Henry collection.

Winsor and Newton drawing ink is, in a word, incredible. This is one of two sets, but aside from both having black their colors are a bit different. I believe the Henry collection pack has slightly darker tones and more secondary colors while the William collection is brighter. Both sets are boldly colored and will definitely pull their weight while drawing with them. Regarding the ink itself, it's dye-based and has a range of applications. You can do line art, paint (ink?) in colors, use a dipping pen for writing (do NOT use a fountain pen, it wasn't made for this kind of ink!), and if you're daring you could also mix the colors together for new combinations. If you need a light tone, simply thin it out with water. All colors are water resistant once they're on the page, so they will not be smearing easily. The ink dries reasonably quickly, doesn't bleed, and its transparency allows for colors to be layered on top of one another for added depth. My only gripe is that neither set has a dedicated light skin tone (the image used Copics for that instead), but it's just a nitpick. If you're serious about drawing with ink, Winsor and Newton is definitely worth the price and a brand to keep in mind. Inktober may be over, but I believe I'll still be using these inks for a long while.

One of my teenaged grandsons is an artist who put these on his suggested gift list. I was pleased to purchase them for him because I know the quality of Winsor & Newton products from my own days painting in college. He was pleased beyond measure with these beautiful inks ~ saturated colors, ease of use. He uses the inks to color his black line drawings to great success. Highly recommend!

The canary yellow isn’t as expected, very dull and separated with specks floating in it. The other colors are very pretty.

Great!
