Jacques Herbin Vert Amazone - Ink Sample

Lovely green ink with blue tone

This was a lovely ink to write with & to draw with - when I used a water brush on the drawing, just enough color tint came out leaving the line. It’s a nice clean vivid green, flowing well and drying relatively fast. I liked it a lot.

Jacques Herbin Vert Amazone - a rich, luxurious, vibrant Forest Green ink.

I love Jacques Herbin inks and this one does not disappoint. "Luxurious" is the only way to describe it. It feels luxurious as one writes with it, the colour "pops" off the page; very saturated colour, has great lubrication, very low Shading, no Sheen, no Shimmer; no Feathering, no Bleed-through on better papers. No Yellow undertone. In a very wet pen the ink will go down with a Jacques Herbin Èmeraude de Chivor like Blueish tint and will then dry to a deep dark Green. Excellent readability with Extra Fine nibs. Writing on Leuchtturm paper did not affect it; it looks just as vibrant, just as bright, just as saturated as when writing on White and Pure White papers. It ages well, it does not dry to an Olivine Green, nor does it fade over time. Dries within 30 seconds. To me, it is worth every penny to get a bottle.

Best Green I've ever Seen

This ink is fantastic. It is pricey for sure, but wow is it worth it. First of all, the flow is remarkable. It does not bleed or feather at all and yet it is so smooth and flows so well. That alone makes it worth it. But more than that, I have been looking for a vibrant, saturated, true green ink for no less than a year. No ink has ever wowed me as much as this one. It is exactly the shade of deep, rich, primary green that I wanted and the shading is amazing. I cannot wait to get a full bottle of it (maybe even 2)
