What Can You Do With Walnut Ink? (Oct. 2023)

Explore walnut ink and its rich sepia tones. Rembrandt, DaVinci, and Van Gogh all used it in their sketches and drawings. Discover what they found so enchanting and why they used this extremely forgiving water-soluble medium.

One dip of a brush will get you a wide variety of tones or lighten up dark areas with a wet brush. Create quick, playful sketches on the go or finished pieces.
