Winsor & Newton Collection Drawing Ink Set, Set of 8, William Collection,Black,green,purple,yellow

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.

New favorite medium!! These are a dream to work with! So pigmented! So smooth! Blend wonderfully! Faster than watercolor!Plus they layer SOOOooooOOOo beautifully with colored pencil! I can go back and forth between pencil and dry ink with ease!

These inks are stunning! Not just the gold and silver but the black and white are also smooth, opaque, and flow smoothly. They don't bleed and they dry down quickly. The gold is more of a glitter consistency and is very rich; the silver is very smooth and fine, with no glitter to it but a satiny shine. Very impressed- I'll be recommending these to friends for sure, and trying the rest of Winsor and Newton's drawing inks.

Can't recommend this ink enough! Perfect for those wanting to start out and experiment with ink, But has great quality that I continue to use it. Beautiful color selection. Just perfect! drys great and goes down smoothly.

These inks are real nice and for an 8 pack they aren't badly priced. I'm very impressed with the emerald green and the blue. Though the scarlet looks more like pink and the vermillion is like a red tinged orange. Not what i was expecting, but still usable and colorful. Great for brush work or dip pens.

I used the Winsor & Newton collection of inks for a pen and ink class that I'm taking. It's surprising what you can do with 4 basic colors, mixing, diluting, etc. I would buy W&N inks again, based on this experience.

When is come to using liquid water color and ink paint this product works extremely well. Drys fast and blends smoothly when applying different colors. If you’re looking for a good writing ink, this works so well with that. If you do watercolor you will love the blending and blooming you can get.

The colors are all lighter and brighter than expected. I love their little sturdy glass bottles as well. Black is included in this set, which is great if you don't have that yet. This is really more of an all in one ink set due to that inclusion. Colors goon clear and easy. The mixtures are clear of debris, even after heavy use. Make a palette once you get these to really get a feel of the color. The yellow is very gentle. The brown is surprisingly warm and pops very well. The violet is deep and exciting, as is the magenta. Black is the classic rich and near opaque that ink artists are used to. Green is okay. Applied in layers, though, it is fantastic. Far and away the best ink in the set is the orange. It is my go-to in the set. If you have any interest at all in buying this, if you are down to your last dollars and are thinking of buying this, then BUY IT!

Was already familiar with the properties of W&N's black India ink, and metallic gold and silvers. But the WHITE is new to me. I wanted it for glass dip-pen calligraphy or script over deeply coloured paper. And this ink delivers! With a thicker point, it wrote like a fountain pen, one stroke. With a very thin point, the ink goes on like a fine-point Sigma. Good control, note that it is very fast-drying. Pleased with it!

O set é maravilhoso! As cores são ótimas, vibrantes, super pigmentadas, misturam extremamente bem umas com as outras, são super fáceis de usar, de diluir e secam num tempo ótimo entre o rápido e o demorado, o que permite você fazer correções ao mesmo tempo sem ter que esperar muito para ver o resultado depois de seca. Tive apenas um probleminha com um dos potinhos, o Violeta, que veio mal tampado e vasou dentro da embalagem, o que me fez perder metade da tinta sem nem mesmo ter usado... Mas não vou condenar a compra por causa disso... Aconteceu apenas com um dos potinhos e acredito que foi um caso isolado, pois o restante veio extremamente bem embalado dentro do estojo lacrado, o que me leva a crer que realmente foi uma questão pontual. No meu caso, então eu recebi 7 frascos e meio de tinta... Mas ainda assim, são lindas e eu recomendo.

Chegou depressa e sem defeitos. Variabilidade de cores muito boa, e depois de ser aprender a utilizar, muito bom!

Good value for the set, works well, not much to complain about
