Lately, I've been enjoying the gold and golden brown inks in my collection. Here are some of my favorites, loaded in a variety of pens (Edison Première, Beaumont and Colliers, Levenger True Writers, a vintage Waterman 0552-½, Pelikan M205 and M800), with cotton swab washes:

 

 

It's dark, cold, gloomy, and wet today in Indianapolis, so these colors are a nice way to brighten the day!

I think your mix looks the best!

Thanks! Most of these are my "desert island" inks in this color range...

​Inspired by kfoss' recent review, I ordered a bottle of Krishna Banana Yellow for myself.

 

 

Very interesting color but performance on good paper leaves much to be desired. It does better on more absorbent paper with a sufficiently wet pen.

One of the recently released inks from Pure Pens, this is Pendine Sands.

 

In the same colour range as Edelstein Amber, N. Apache Sunset, D. Autumn Oak and TAG Kyo-Iro Arashiyama, but still different enough from any of those to make a welcome addition to my ink collection.

 

It's an ink with low saturation, so generates excellent shading. It has a more reddish shade when wet, becoming somewhat more muted and lighter as it dries. It isn't a lubricated ink but doesn't feel as dry from the pen as D. Autumn Oak. It's one of those vintage-looking inks, which are en vogue and which I've come to really appreciate.

 

Being very familiar with Pendine Sands I wouldn't say it is a particularly accurate representation of the beach there, but I enjoy the Celtic place name theme being used by Pure Pens for their inks.

A remarkable ink, this is almost at the point where shading meets color variation. Thanks for posting.

 

I think they hold car or motorcycle racing on Pendine Sands, found this clip on Youtube

Youre welcome: its one of those inks thats fun to watch as it dries. Im sad like that, lol.

 

Thanks for the interesting video. I did mention the races in my scribbled description of Pendine but appreciate my handwriting is pretty scruffy.

Looks a dramatic place wide open firm sand.

 

Great color too,

By coincidence, by luck and by the generosity of a benefactor, I received a bottle of Pendine Sands today.

 

migo984 is exactly right, and I have had the same experience with the ink. It's very warm, and very shady.

 

I tried it out —along with Cadwaladr— on Clairefontaine paper and Tomoe River:

Cadwaladr is my favourite of the Pure Pens inks. A gorgeous red, as you show so clearly in your photo. I’ve had it in one pen or another for several weeks & still haven’t become bored with it.

 

Celtic Sea & Flower of Scotland are nice too.

 

Llanberis grey is similar to Pendine with regards to shading. It has a lovely purpleish undertone.

The red is lovely. Now I have to learn how to pronounce it.

 

[update: the sound quality of the only pronunciation on Forvo.com is terrible.]

Welsh is a delightfully unusual language. Does Wikipedia have a better pronunciation system?

Halloween - Have you tried KWZI El Dorado? I recently got a bottle, and find it an intriguing ink. I have tried samples of a couple of other similar range of inks (Ambre de Birminie among them) and to date like it better than those.

[Runnin_Ute]

Somewhat more yellow, but still extremely appealing, is KWZ El Dorado. DREAMY.

 

really digging this color. Just recently got a bottle.
