My husband came into the room during this video because he wanted to know why we had to listen to hold music for so long. He was not impressed when the response to, "What are you doing?" was, " Watching ink dry!" 😂
The most beautiful video I've ever seen from you. Congratulations for the charming moment you offered to me. For those who wonder, the title of the song is «Dear Frédéric» from Elise Solberg, from the album «grow in the dark».
Oh, how I love these. I already have Rainfluff, Thunderfluff, and Hinoki. I'm gonna need to add Manyos Haha and Fuji to my collection immediately. Love them ALL!
Loved the music in the video, and the super close-up shots really did the inks justice. This was a nice change of pace, though I honestly don't think anyone minds when Drew is not being silent. Great vid!
This style of shading is just so gorgeous, and I would not complain if it became a bigger thing. Currently have an Iridescent Kaweco Sport (M) loaded with Nekoyanagi, and its just such a nice match and performs so well. May have to look into getting a bottle of Ink Studio 173 soon.
I think if I had an Iridescent Kaweco Sport (which is one of those pens that keep tempting me), I would fill it with Troublemaker Abalone. Sailor Manyo Haha might also be a good match.
Drew your a fantastic spokesman. Always enjoy the pen casts. You are getting more comfortable in front of the camera and pleasure to watch. This video is great. Beautiful music, beautiful inks, great company.
I just want to warn people who may be considering buying these inks. I own two of these dual shading inks by Sailor, and a couple other dual shading inks. They look good when they are spread on big space on paper, or used with a big nib calligraphy or calligraphy style pens. But if you want to write normal cursive writing with them in using Medium size nib, or smaller size nibs you will not only not see the dual shading, you 'll probably not be able to see just the ink itself. It will appear too faint. I actually thought that maybe my ink was watered down by someone , or maybe it was a defective batch. No. It works as shown but only when applied heavily with big nibs or a brush. Just keep that in mind as these inks are not very cheap.
You got some particularly dramatic and excellent results. I just want to mention that I personally have been fooling around with Haha, and get similar results on less absorbent, coated paper. On my main paper, bristol board, which is more absorbent, though the ink shades, it remains in the base light blue color. Finally, on printmaking paper, which is super absorbent, you can get a halo of the secondary color.
Great presentation Drew. I’ve bought more than enough pens for the year, so I’ll now indulge myself with some of these beautiful links. The shading is amazing.
I didn't know there was a specific term to describe this attribute. I always just called it color-separating, similar to certain convenience watercolor mixes where the pigments separate out according to their relative weights. I am still scratching my head as to how inks do this without pigments. It makes them all the more interesting.
You have blown my socks off with your last several videos, and that’s despite an already sky-high expectation level set by your consistently strong content and video production quality. This is a new fav! Love the drying time-well, absolutely everything. If I ever have trouble sleeping, why count sheep when I can slip into peaceful slumber with stunning chromo-shading ink dancing in my head? (Of course, if I awake to a Goulet order confirmation I won’t be surprised!) Nothing short of superb.
Hey Drew, It was nice to meet you Sunday at the SF Pen Show. Thank you for video. It is very informative. I think I need to start playing with inks more. Marty
I just realized I need the inkvest calendar inks version of this video (at least with the most crazy shimmering and sheening inks). Also with the platinum series (the ones that change colour once dried).
I tried already the Kitsune Biyori (Yurameku sailor ink) and the Itezora (same collection) and I absolutely love them! They are very pale but legible and I like a lot the base color so even if I'm using a more absorbing paper (that don't allow the chromo-shading effect) they look beautiful. But of course they look specially great in my hobonichi notebook (tomoe river 52 gsm paper).
Looooove the chroma shades! I found HaHa to be too light to be legible, but all the Manyo inks I've tried have been a joy to write with. Thanks for highlighting these!
That was beautiful to watch! I love chromashading inks! Just a little correction because I am a nitpicker and hairsplitter: It's "Nekoyanagi", not "Nekoyongi" (as you wrote in the video) or "Nekoyonagi" (as it says in the description).
This is a wonderful video concept. I do wish the inks were allowed to completely dry and then remain on screen for 3-4 seconds to allow study of the shading properties.
What a lovely, chill video, thank you for sharing. Slightly less chill about all of these ending up on my inky wishlist, my poor budget will go out the window!
I had a little giggle at the last sample and the pause while trying to figure out what you were writing. 🤭 I have the Manyo sample set, but just now realized there are way more colors in the Manyo series than the 8 I have.
Oh my word, Drew. As Nemo dried, I think something inside me broke. 😍 If only I could get paid to watch ink dry like this. I’d be the happiest millionaire ever…
I really wish there were more red, orange, and pink chroma shading inks. The only ones I know of are Studio 173, Manyo Sakura, IWI Spring Equinox, and IWI Grain Rain. There or tons of purples, greens, and blues. There needs to be some more color variation in the chroma shading space. If anyone knows of any other red, orange, and pink chroma shading inks please let me know.
Oh man I would have loved to see "thunderfluff" and "rainfluff" written out there :p thanks for the ink sample set! So excited to get one when it's back in stock :)
I didn‘t think this kind of ink would interest me, but your video has taught me otherwise! Now, when will I order some? I sense another order heading the way of Goulet Pens in the not-too-distant future.
I'm just a beginner in the fountain pen community but these inks are beautiful! I don't have any pens with anything greater than a medium nib. It seems like they aren't "juicy" enough for such beautiful inks. What would be the next size up to get a little more ink on the paper, one that puts down maybe just a little less ink than the glass pen?
Oh, these are such great inks. I have only the Manyo Haha but for sure I will need some more of the Manyo inks. That was such a lovely, relaxing video. Now I can go to sleep and dream of inks (instead of sheep). ❤
@@lozared the two I like the most are Noodler's Sunrise and Rohrer and Klingner Helianthus. They're both very nice. But I think for best results, use a medium nib. The ink will dry and kinda darken a bit, or become slightly orange and I think it's really pretty, but you can experiment with smaller nibs
Sorry, Drew! I fell asleep around 3:54 with that nice piano, but I really liked what I saw before then. 😲 My question is, are these like pigmented inks that might clog nibs?
I love those inks. I didn't find the music calming. I actually found it a bit jarring. But, to be honest, I enjoy videos with you all talking more in general.
Brian, you are close, but “not yet” on a chromashading shirt. The Italian Renaissance term is “cangianti”, and refers to depicting volume not just with value shifts but also color shifts. It’s origin is in the depiction of draped figures and has connections to textiles (shot silk or “seta cangianti”) and how it was depicted in the time of Giotto when pigments were limited. Very much enjoyed this video tour, and I always prefer to buy my pens from Goulet to support all the rich content. You all strike a delicate balance between fun, geekstacular, and insightful.
Maybe I missed it but was this all on tomoe river paper? Or something else. These are my favorite type of inks but the paper makes such a difference. Any additional paper suggestions to pull out all the colors?
@@cursumperficio119 I do really like those inks too..but they arnt chromoshading inks..they are sheen and shimmer inks...im looking for a chromoshading black.
After the recent Pencast where you guys talk about what “we’ll behaved” means, I am curious what you have to say about these inks. They are beautiful, but I don’t know how much hassle I want to take on in an attempt to try them.
No, not as much the more ink, the better these properties with show up. Using notebooks with Tomoe River paper also helps a ton! You can find them here: www.gouletpens.com/collections/goulet-notebooks
My husband came into the room during this video because he wanted to know why we had to listen to hold music for so long. He was not impressed when the response to, "What are you doing?" was, " Watching ink dry!" 😂
I can imagine how "watching ink dry why listening to hold music" may not exactly sound like a thrilling experience! lol - Drew
Loved the calming music on this one. How about a ink sample set for us to give some a try?
Agreed.
Me too! Would like more.
The background music seems to be Chopin - Nocturne op. 9 no. 2
@@GeraldDeBelen i think it is a different nocture
It's by Elise Soldberg. Called "Dear Frederic"
The music on this was excellent!
I love the shirt, Drew.
It's just so cheerful that I can't imagine being able to have a bad day seeing it.
I feel that way every time I put one on! - Drew
The most beautiful video I've ever seen from you. Congratulations for the charming moment you offered to me. For those who wonder, the title of the song is «Dear Frédéric» from Elise Solberg, from the album «grow in the dark».
Husband: How was your day? Me: Great, I just watched a relaxing video of ink drying. My wish list just increased. 🤪. How to pick? Beautiful colors!!!
Oh, how I love these. I already have Rainfluff, Thunderfluff, and Hinoki. I'm gonna need to add Manyos Haha and Fuji to my collection immediately. Love them ALL!

Is it easy to read or is it just an ink you use for fun?
@@tiramisucocolands7952 it's very readable to me. I've used it on Leuchtturm, Rhodia, Tomoe River.
Such beautiful inks! 🥰😍❤️
Ink is one of those things where I’m always searching for my next new favorite lol

Can you guys do another one like this format? It's so soothing to watch with the music
This is my fav dual shading ink video.
Superb video of astonishing inks.
This was incredible!! I love your normal style of videos too, but this is really so calming. I love watching ink dry, and the music was so perfect.

Tomoe River 52gsm Paper and an Herbin Glass pen. - Drew
Very attractive sounds, shades, and colours.
I currently have Fuji in my Kaweco iridescent pearl and it’s my absolute favourite ink/pen combination!
Great presentation Drew. I’ve bought more than enough pens for the year, so I’ll now indulge myself with some of these beautiful links. The shading is amazing.
I've bought Visconti Van Gogh Red Vineyard, my third fountain pen and Noodler's golden brown ink. This pen is really gorgeous.
It’s a pretty small operation and you don’t sell their ink (yet), but Troublemaker Ink offers some very cool chroma-shading fountain pen ink.
I've seen some really good ones from them! - Drew
The 173 was such a nice contrast. The other inks, while many beautiful, are so overwhelmingly green and lavender in color.
I agree! I definitely wanted to include that one because of how different it was! - Drew
These are gorgeous. I'd love to see more ink showcases! I'm new to fountain pens and I'm interested in experimenting with different colours

I fell in love with the last one. 😍💕
I've got that one inked up right now in my Pilot 912! It's lovely! - Drew
I love the comparison of those shades. Great sound and video!
This was just beautiful to see and listen to. I adore these chroma shading inks.
I like this format.
Wonderful video. True excellence.
❤❤❤ 😊 OMG how gorgeous! Thanks, just loved this video
Thanks for watching! - Drew
Wright on! Love this.
I really enjoy these too…nekoyanagi is a fave…
This was so satisfying to watch 😌 especially when the inks start to dry!
Thanks, Abbey! - Drew

Thank you! Loved watching the colors appear.
It's so fun! - Drew
Beautiful, calming, wonderful!!
Ooooo Lovely, Music & ink samples, definitely more videos like this. A regular feature for ink collections, perhaps?

Yay! Thanks, Marty! - Drew
Really beautiful ASMR. Love love love the music and finally a place online where most if not all the chromoshading inks are listed together!
This was so dignified.
Thanks for watching, Dave! - Drew
The music was exquisite, Drew! I feel quite refined now and should withdraw to my escritoire and pen a heartfelt missive to my darling overseas…
LOL Well said! - Drew
I just realized I need the inkvest calendar inks version of this video (at least with the most crazy shimmering and sheening inks). Also with the platinum series (the ones that change colour once dried).

Wonderful, relaxing a oddly satisfying. I would have liked an overview of all completely dried inks at the end and I missed inks from 'Pennonia'.
That was beautiful to watch! I love chromashading inks! Just a little correction because I am a nitpicker and hairsplitter: It's "Nekoyanagi", not "Nekoyongi" (as you wrote in the video) or "Nekoyonagi" (as it says in the description).

Thanks for this Drew!

I kept waiting for a shout out to Noodler’s Apache/Southwest Sunset!
That one has great shading, but isn't exactly a multi-tonal ink. - Drew
If I had to only use one brand of ink for the rest of my life, it would be Sailor. I’ll take shading/chromoshading over sheen and sparkles any time.
Drew, did you use “Thunder Fluff” for any of the examples?
Yes! That was Ink Studio 224! :) - Drew
What kind of pen is that? It’s so damn beautiful & unique
This ink should be tested with the Kaweco iridescent pearl for maximum vibe
Dang, you just sold me on a glass pen.
Tried to blow on my phone during drying timelapses:)
LOL
🤣
What makes this different than sheening inks?
I how these aren't expensive because the shading in the writing samples is so delicate is almost nonexistent.
Will these shade as much in a fine-extra fine nib?
No, not as much the more ink, the better these properties with show up. Using notebooks with Tomoe River paper also helps a ton! You can find them here: www.gouletpens.com/collections/goulet-notebooks
