Winsor & Newton Drawing Inks have been used by illustrators since their 

introduction by Winsor & Newton in the 1890's, 

where the main requirement is brilliance of colour.

Today they are formulated from a series of soluble dyes in a superior shellac solution. These inks can be applied with brush, dip pen or airbrush and are widely used by designers, calligraphers and artists as well as illustrators.

Fast drying, water resistent & transparent, this allows the overlaying 

of different colours for attractive optical colour mixtures.  

All the colours are water resistant except Liquid Indian Ink, Gold and Silver.

Fully Intermixable

All the colours are intermixable. Gold and Silver should be 

added to other inks in small quantities to avoid thickening. 

Mixtures of Gold and Silver together should not be 

stored due to adverse chemical reaction.

Easily Diluted

The colours can be easily diluted with water to 

reduce the strength of the colour or to increase its transparency. 

Distilled water must be used as tap water causes the 

dye to separate from the binder.
