胡桃墨水是一種精細著色的水性墨水,由胡桃殼製成,適用於繪畫、素描和書法。其棕褐色調不易褪色,質地如同透明水彩,具有良好的疊色和提亮效果,尤其適合深色暈染。胡桃墨水耐光、無酸性、不易染色,在用黑色永久性墨水繪製的草圖上疊加使用,更能增添溫暖的色調和歷史韻味。.
I’m doing a little 丹尼爾史密斯 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 顏色 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.

關於 洛爾·卡特曼

洛爾·卡特曼 是一位居住在華盛頓州的自學成才的藝術家。她以創作空靈的層次感作品而聞名——尤其是在她創作的透明花卉作品中——她對豐富紋理的運用以及對胡桃墨水的熱愛。.
洛爾的創作熱情在於透過色彩和抽象形式來講述故事。例如,她的「太平洋西北雨滴」系列作品源自於這樣一個理念:即使在失去之時和失去之後,美仍然存在。她創作的水彩墨流作品旨在捕捉轉瞬即逝的瞬間,並用色彩將其凝固。洛爾最鍾愛的主題是抽象花卉,這源自於花朵所傳遞的人生哲理:它們擁抱當下,脆弱而短暫;有些花朵在夜晚靜靜地蜷縮休息;有些則在白天追逐著光影。她最欣賞的花卉特質是許多植物在逆境中綻放。她喜愛這種生存中蘊含的絕望意味,因此,她將掙扎與力量的微妙平衡融入許多花卉作品中。.
洛爾接受過科學訓練,她的技術背景體現在她對顏料化學的深刻理解、對實驗技法的熱愛以及對細節的關注。她喜歡手持畫筆,享受創作的樂趣;她渴望學習,並從中獲得滿足;她也樂於結識同樣熱愛水彩畫的藝術家。.
