Review on Dr. Ph. Martin's Bombay India Ink Set 1 – 0.5 oz (12 Bottles) - Vibrant Colors for Stunning Artwork by Carol Miller

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very resistant and coloring, but good. Initial purchase

This ink is a little interesting. they're really permanent, they look like watercolors, but... very solid. To explain better, they almost feel like a gel in a way when dry and even hard; maybe that's why they're so constant. DO NOT get them on your skin if you can help, they will last a week and a half or less if you are lucky and longer and longer depending on how long the ink stays on you and how much you have gotten on your skin in an area. This ink also dries FAST no matter what container you put it in. They are a bit difficult to wash off, so I suggest getting an ink remover or cleaner, but other than that they seem pretty good. They fade fairly quickly if left in a container. Sun for more than three days, so don't do it. Otherwise I would offer this ink and buy it again. This is a great buy if you're just dipping your toe in ink, so to speak, or learning the art of using ink like I'm doing. =-) They work well for watercolor painting if you use thick thick paint on the page or even acrylic as drawing on canvas with a marker doesn't work, try a pen and this ink, it should work fine. Generally very resistant and coloring, but good. First purchase. Since drawing on canvas with a marker doesn't work, try using a pen and this ink, it should work fine.
