This is a lot darker than I’d been expecting but it’s a good dark rich colour with just a hint of shading. Reminds me very much of the 70s. Here I am doodling the Inkling. Many thanks to Chris Stafford for sending me this sample.
Apparently Rouille d’Ancre means rusty anchor, which is an absolutely lovely name. The ink is a fascinating colour. I think I like it, even though it reminds me a little of mould. It’s certainly different. It writes a little dry and is quite pale so needs a generous nib. Here I am doodling the Inkling.
I don’t know if you’ve noticed but I’m rather partial to orange and orangey browns (and orangey reds and orangey yellows). It’ll come as no surprise to learn, then, that I like this ink really very much. It’s a great colour and has lovely shading. Here I am doodling the Inkling. Many thanks to Paul […]
This is the last of the eight inks Kaweco sent me to review. It’s the last because I’ve been putting off trying it. A Fool With a Pen described it as hideous and he and I often have very similar tastes, so I wasn’t looking forward to using Caramel Brown at all. Was he right? […]
This is an interesting colour with good shading. It was a little runny for my dip pen. Private Reserve inks need a little care with some pens. I do like this colour, though. Here I am doodling the Inkling.
