on saleDiamine Golden Brown - Ink Sample

I used this with a glass dip pen on Tomoe River 52gsm white paper, and it writes like a dream. Pretty much a perfect thickness/wetness for me. The color has a lot more shading than expected, and hovers in a sort of antique gold realm. A really lovely way to evoke a metallic shade without having any shimmer. I'd recommend it to all fans of brown ink.

This color strikes me as more of a golden. The swab photo doesn't do it justice, I fear. I was looking for a brown brown, and for me, this will not be it. It's a good golden ink, and I may consider it for more of a yellow-gold than a brown.

After hearing so many great things about Diamine I decided to try them for myself. First it was Prussian Blue. Then Monaco Red. Now it is Golden Brown. The first two are universally popular and Prussian Blue has become one of my favorites but the Golden Brown is one of those love it or hate it. Personally I love it. Great flow, smooth and TONS of shading. I like it because it is more golden than brown. No doubt I am buying more. Plus, Brian was great to work with.

This was my first sepia ink, and my all-time favorite ink for a long time. Has a deep rich tone and gives you that ancient manuscript look. Also a fast drying ink, at least for me. Diamine satisfies again!

I love inks in brown shades, so I have several bottles. This is an ink I will buy in the future.
