胡桃墨水是一种精细着色的水性墨水，由胡桃壳制成，适用于绘画、素描和书法。其棕褐色调不易褪色，质地如同透明水彩，具有良好的叠色和提亮效果，尤其适合深色晕染。胡桃墨水耐光、无酸性、低染色性，在用黑色永久性墨水绘制的草图上叠加使用，更能增添温暖的色调和历史韵味。.
I’m doing a little 丹尼尔·史密斯 胡桃墨水 deep dive to document all the ways I love it. I originally picked up walnut ink because it reminded me of my Granny, and it has become the art supply I use most.
Walnut ink is a beautiful brown with a perfect personality. The closest watercolor color match is Enviro-friendly Brown Oxide. The closest watercolor character match, transparent and non-granulating, in the brown family is 永久棕色. Sure, I can mix to match, but any match has its own chemistry and, therefore, its own distinct behavior in water.
I use walnut ink straight from the bottle, let it sit out to concentrate and darken, add water to dilute it, and even let it dry and grind it up to toss tiny particles into wet watercolor for texture.
Mark making, sketching, sketch and wash, mixing with watercolor, even mixing with gouache.
Walnut ink is my close-to-the-heart go-to.
I keep coming back to DANIEL SMITH Walnut Ink.

关于 洛尔·卡特曼
洛尔·卡特曼 是一位居住在华盛顿州的自学成才的艺术家。她以创作空灵的层次感作品而闻名——尤其是在她创作的透明花卉作品中——她对丰富纹理的运用以及对胡桃墨水的喜爱。.
洛尔的创作热情在于通过色彩和抽象形式讲述故事。例如，她的“太平洋西北雨滴”系列作品源于这样一个理念：美始终存在——即使在失去之时和失去之后。她创作的水彩墨流作品旨在捕捉转瞬即逝的瞬间，并用色彩将其凝固。洛尔最钟爱的主题是抽象花卉，这源于花朵所传递的人生哲理：它们拥抱当下，脆弱而短暂；有些花朵在夜晚静静蜷缩休憩；有些则在白天追逐着光影。她最欣赏的花卉特质是许多植物在逆境中绽放。她喜爱这种生存中蕴含的绝望，因此，她将挣扎与力量的微妙平衡融入到许多花卉作品中。.
洛尔接受过科学训练，她的技术背景体现在她对颜料化学的深刻理解、对实验技法的热爱以及对细节的关注上。她喜欢手握画笔，享受创作的乐趣；她渴望学习，并从中获得满足；她也乐于结识同样热爱水彩画的艺术家。.
