Tom Norton Walnut Drawing Ink

Description

Walnut Drawing Ink (60ml, 290ml)
Tom Norton Walnut Drawing Ink owes its reputation for supreme quality to its unique formula which uses premium imported pigment. Experience the unique characteristics and beauty of the ink used by the Old Masters without the acidic qualities of the old formula that fades, is highly acidic and damages paper over time. Tom Norton Walnut Drawing Ink is extremely lightfast.

NEW! Darkening Medium (42ml)
Tom Norton's Darkening Medium is not an ink but an additive used to darken the original ink when a drawing needs that extra punch. Some artists will add black india ink to darken the colour of Walnut Ink. This will work but you will sacrifice the unique watercolour characteristics of the ink and lose the ability to lift colour or lighten areas.

The Darkening Medium is very heavily pigmented and made with the same binder as the original so it can be added or mixed with Tom Norton's Original Ink without changing its working properties. It can also be used straight from the bottle. However, it is so heavily pigmented it will behave more like a Sumi ink and stain the paper and not lift as easily as the original.
