I picked-up some of this 'solid' ink in Peterborough, & it is gelatinous. I was desparate to finish a project, so I used some & it is amazing! I can raise the viscosity with water or specialty medium, but I just use it raw to age & darken my artwork with texture! It resembles oil or ooze. Thank you Tri-Art!
I bought the "new " Ultramarine blue , because it looked good-slight more vibrant,bitmore intense. But until you test it, I don't exactly know how it will affect and behave with other colors. When I mixed it with alizirin-crimson, or med red with TI White , it turns to a WA Grey, not COOL Grey, which I need.
