Our drawing inks have been used by illustrators since their introduction by Winsor & Newton in the 1890s, where the main requirement is brilliance of color. Today, they are formulated from a series of soluble dyes in a superior shellac solution. These inks can be applied with a brush, dip pen, or airbrush and are widely used by designers, calligraphers, and artists as well as illustrators.

Fast-drying, transparent, and water-resistant ink with outstanding color brilliance. Intermixable colors can be used with a brush, dip pen, or airbrush.

Winsor & Newton drawing inks are made from high-quality dyes in a shellac binder. The use of dyes produces bright colors, making these the perfect inks to create rich and vibrant artworks. All of our drawing inks are water-resistant. The white, Indian black, and gold are also pigmented, meaning they are lightfast. All inks can be used with a brush or dip pen. There are 26 colors in the range, loved by designers, artists, and illustrators.
