De Atramentis Sepia ..... Sepia ????

 

A Little while ago fellow member Visvamitra posted another of his excellent Reviews. This time De Atramentis Sepia

 

https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/topic/291331-sepiabraun-de-atramentis/

 

Although Visvamitra is a Fan of De Atramentis in general he is not a fan of reddish Browns as I understand it....

 

And he thought the colour was not sepia..

 

 

that is what I and most of us thought so........ :excl:

 

Here is Lord Jansener a.k.a the Famous Dr J

To Help you I will insert some scans of written texts an Ink Vomitus and I added a Ink Sampler form so that this becomes a short review at the same time

I love the colour reddish Brown less red than i.e Waterman Havanna Brown or De Atrametntis Wilhelm 2

 

It is more like an EARTH (TERRE) Brown

Somehow this resembles J. Herbin terre de Feu another ink I love dearly

 

 

Where the Herbin inks tend to be on the dry side this D-A sepia is a lot wetter like most of the De Atramentis inks

 

 

Down here I did some tests

BTW Not only MAN Lord Jansener wants

 

 

WOMEN are welcome too of course

[fountainpagan]

- Archimede's Palimpsest

 

- Ancient scrolls

 

- Manuscript's dust

[lgsoltek]

Maybe Red Earth?

As for the sepia colour, I think the colour of R&K Sepia is pretty correct IMO.

Raspberry Chocolate or Cherry Chocolate (either name would make me buy it )

Devil's Food or Red Velvet (cakes where the red is drawn out of chocolate with soda or vinegar)

Auburn

Fertile Ground

Sunda Colugo (exotic animal)

Black Forest (cake)

Oh yeah, there's that second question too: rather than rely on color inaccuracies on monitors, the best way to see true sepia is to go to a fish market and ask for some cuttlefish ink. That is the real, authentic sepia. People use it to cook with so it should be available. And seeing it in person eliminates the iffyness of colors online.

Nice if you to notice about the cuttlefish

 

The wikipedia text in dutch is all about that

[Davros]

This color is a dead ringer for the darker, red-purple-brown wood found in the hearts of some trees. I'd call it Heartwood.

You guys, until I read this thread, I wasn't hungry. Now, I'm searching the office for chocolate.

I would apologize, except chocolate is an antioxidant and therefore good for you. How's that for justification?

[janeblundellart]

I really like the chocolate options - cherry chocolate (or chocolate cherry) or black forest cake or bavarian forest cake or devil's food cake all rather sum it up :-)

That too, and can you believe chocolate is not to be found????

 

I didn't believe it either. I was offered a fig newton.

[amberleadavis]

Having been offered a Fig Newton, how about Ripe Fig?
