Kwzi Brown #3

[white_lotus]

There are four KWZ inks having "brown" in their name: Brown #2, Brown #3 (this ink), Brown #4, and Dark Brown. These are the warm browns, the red-leaning ones, that some people don't like. That's not an issue for me so long as it's a nice color, and the handling is how I like it in my pens. Each has their own qualities in handling and appearance, however, only one of them, #3, is actually a brown to my eyes. With this preview out of the way, let's look at the individual inks.

This is a definite brown, and it looks somewhat golden, and more of a brown undertone. The wettest of the four browns, and the slowest drying. This has the kind of handling I like the best, and so this one is my favorites of the four. But the pictures are lacking in their ability to show the nice brown color, as they push it too far red, and/or too dark, certainly the latter.

Anyway, you can get a sample and see how it looks in your pens, on your paper.

The usual papers: MvL=Mohawk via Linen, Hij=Hammermill 28 lb inkjet, TR=Tomoe River.

Sorry, I forgot to retake this image, and uploaded the fuzzy one.

Definitely showing as too dark and one-dimensional here.

Again too dark.

Far too red, but yes, not water resistant.

It's a fish!
