guess the ink!

Taccia Ukiyo-e Sharaku-natane
Noodler's Harold's Hearse
PenBBS 399 Noon
Color Traveler Sanuki Udondashi Gold (though I think this might shimmer too much)

Ok, seriously, is there any ink that you DO NOT know, mizgeorge??



It is indeed the Taccia Ukiyo-e Sharaku-natane or Rapeseed Yellow (was my little drawing a good clue?)

And our little game of ping-pong continues hahaha...

[mizgeorge]

LOL, that one was a combination of luck and google! My immediate first thought was mustard, which rapidly took me down the 'but we never see real mustard seed fields any more, just rapeseed'....

I can't say it's one I'd be a hurry to add to my collection - especially given that there are some Ukiyo-e inks I'd really like

Back shortly...

[Yazeh]

Bravo ladies...... I see you've had fun already

Yeah, it's definitely not one I would choose for myself since I use my inks mostly for writing (thus far). This free sample came with a stationery order and in the vial it looked quite dark. On paper, not so much. While I do like the color yellow (not as a favorite, though), it is just not a color that works well for writing. But I saved the vial thinking it might be fun for drawing - and now I've finally used it on a drawing... for guess the ink! LOL

You could also add a dash of black ink to make it darker....

Or a little very dark green, which might make it more interesting too

[mizgeorge]

So here's something completely different. Well it's another of my blue inks, but other than that it's different. I'd say this one was moderately difficult - widely available, but largely ignored.

Well done mizgeorge, and thank you Darla for sharing another one of your inks.

This one looks like Robert Oster Grey Seas

[Darla]

Hmmm... interesting color and interesting color variation!

Maybe Diamine Indigo?
Robert Oster Grey Seas? or Evening Sapphire, although that might be too dark?

Oh, I was just two minutes too slow with checking and typing... but great minds and all that! I think you may be right on that one.

[DrPenfection]

or perhaps Parker Quink Blue

[DrPenfection]

Waldman Blue
Laban Blue

[DrPenfection]

Taccia Light Washed Jeans or Classic Jeans

[Yazeh]

Pelikan blue black?

[Darla]

R&K Salix?

[Darla]

None of the above. Salix is probably the closest, but is greyer than this ink.

[Darla]

Lamy Benitoite?

[Yazeh]

Diamine Prussian Blue?
Vinta Aegean (Armada)?
De Atramentis Document Fog Grey?
De Atramentis Night Blue aka Sherlock Holmes?
