The vine branches come from a vineyard here in Denmark, I cut them all into suitable pieces and burned locally in a ceramic kiln before being processed into pigment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"395\" data-end=\"500\"\u003eYou crush the vine and then mix the black pigment with binder and water and work it until it becomes smooth and usable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"502\" data-end=\"771\"\u003eAt first it feels a bit loose and unpredictable. The material separates, the water sits on top, and it does not quite look like ink yet. Then it starts coming together. It darkens, thickens slightly, and begins to move in a way that feels controlled without being stiff.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"773\" data-end=\"953\"\u003eYou adjust it as you go. A bit more binder if it feels too watery. A bit more pigment if you want a deeper black. You get a sense of how much is enough, and where the balance sits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"955\" data-end=\"1167\"\u003eWhen it feels right, you pour it into the bottle and it is ready to use. From that point on, it works as a drawing or painting ink, but with a surface and movement that feels more alive than most ready made inks. OBS: Not useable for fountain pens. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-section-id=\"1oynw49\" data-start=\"1169\" data-end=\"1191\"\u003e\u003cspan role=\"text\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1173\" data-end=\"1191\"\u003eVine Black Ink\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1226\" data-end=\"1458\"\u003eVine black comes from burnt plant material, which gives it a different character than mineral blacks. It is not as heavy or flat. It sits lighter on the paper, and the edges often stay a bit open instead of locking into a hard line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1460\" data-end=\"1646\"\u003eWhen you dilute it, it moves into a wide range of greys without becoming cold or dead. It keeps a slight warmth, which makes it easier to work with if you are layering or building depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1648\" data-end=\"1870\"\u003eIt reacts quickly to water, so you can push it, lift it, and move it around more than you might expect from a black ink. That also means it asks a bit more from you. If you add too much water, it will tell you immediately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1872\" data-end=\"2017\"\u003eThere is something very direct about working with it. No hiding, no overcomplicating, just pigment, water, and whatever you decide to do with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-section-id=\"1hxe45i\" data-start=\"2019\" data-end=\"2036\"\u003e\u003cspan role=\"text\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2023\" data-end=\"2036\"\u003eContents:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\nBurnt Vines\u003cbr data-start=\"2056\" data-end=\"2059\"\u003eGum Arabic\u003cbr data-start=\"2065\" data-end=\"2068\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eCloves\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"markdown prose dark:prose-invert w-full wrap-break-word light markdown-new-styling\"\u003eMortar \u0026amp; Pestle\u003cbr data-start=\"2084\" data-end=\"2087\"\u003eStirring stick\u003cbr data-start=\"2101\" data-end=\"2104\"\u003eBrush\u003cbr data-start=\"2109\" data-end=\"2112\"\u003ePipette\u003cbr data-start=\"2119\" data-end=\"2122\"\u003eGloves\u003cbr data-start=\"2128\" data-end=\"2131\"\u003eInstruction recipe \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003ein Dutch\u003cbr data-start=\"2149\" data-end=\"2152\"\u003eBottle for finished ink\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"markdown prose dark:prose-invert w-full wrap-break-word light markdown-new-styling\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eSketch paper, 300 gsm\u003cbr data-start=\"2513\" data-end=\"2516\"\u003eDust mask\u003cbr data-start=\"2526\" data-end=\"2529\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"arttobasic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53065915531531,"sku":"SQ7899798","price":67.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0798\/1111\/7323\/files\/ArtToBasic-JuRstijl-Artbox-6-1_34e33245-ea31-4e8e-bf06-d2231c483969.jpg?v=1777734797","url":"https:\/\/arttobasic.com\/products\/the-vine-black-ink-box-in-dutch","provider":"arttobasic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
