A range of 26 colours from Winsor and Newton that are all intermixable and all but the white, gold and silver are suitable for stylus pens. They can be applied with brush, pen or air brush and are widely used by illustrators, designers, calligraphers and artists. The advantages of Winsor & Newton Drawing Inks are the brilliant colours, fast drying and water resistance. They are fully intermixable, easily diluted (with distilled water) and show good adhesion to most types of sized surfaces.

Daler Rowney Pearlescent
An acrylic water-based ink in 21 colours producing a shimmering pearl effect. Pearlescent colours are water based colours which don’t leave a harsh or stiff feel to natural or synthetic fabrics. The Pearlescent colours permanently cover leather, wood, clay and paper very well and can be applied, using dip pen, ruling pen or brush. Due to the acrylic content, it is not advised to use in fountain pens.

FW
An acrylic based, water resistant ink from Daler Rowney that works well through an airbrush or technical pen. The 30 strong colours can be diluted and are intermixable. Such a high degree of lightfastness over such a range of fully intermixable colours makes them ideal for use by artists in the production of pictures for permanent display.
