Quick Overview

Tom Norton Walnut Drawing Ink is a versatile ink medium for artists that delivers a rich and warm sepia tone. It has the flow of acrylic ink when used with pen nibs but will layer like watercolor when thinned with water.

Tom Norton Walnut Drawing Ink is a versatile concentrated ink medium for artists that delivers a rich and warm sepia tone reminiscent of sketches by the Old Masters. It has the flow of acrylic ink but will perform and layer like watercolor when thinned with water. This highly pigmented synthetic walnut ink is lightfast and acid-free, unlike authentic walnut ink, and remains water-soluble and liftable even when dried.

Artists in all media love to draw with Tom Norton Walnut Drawing Ink. Watercolorists love the layering and lifting properties that allow the artist to darken and lighten tones. You can achieve lighter values by adding water or using a wet brush to lift color. Calligraphers use it with both dip and fountain pens because it's water-soluble, even when dried, and easily washes out of nibs. Encaustic artists use it for underpainting on wood substrates because it's water-soluble and will not seal the wood, allowing the wax paint to absorb into the surface and form an archival bond. Encaustic printmakers use it for the same reason so that they can draw on their printing papers before printing. Pastelists use the ink for underpainting on sanded paper since it will not affect the paper's texture.

Is Tom Norton Walnut Drawing Ink made from real walnuts? Nope, the ink is not made from walnuts but is instead walnut-colored made from premium lightfast pigments that will not fade over time. Walnut Drawing Ink is also acid-free. Genuine walnut ink is highly acidic and eats the paper over time. The drawings of the Old Masters were made with genuine walnut ink, which was black when freshly made but over time faded to the beautiful sepia tones seen today. Walnut Drawing Ink replicates these sepia tones but with archival permanence. Handmade in the USA with imported materials.
