Tom Norton’s Darkening Medium® was developed as an ink additive to be used to darken the original ink when a drawing needs that extra “punch”. Some artists will add black india ink to darken the color of original Walnut Ink. This will work but you will sacrifice the unique watercolor characteristics of the ink and lose the ability to lift color or lighten areas. Adding black ink will also lose the beautiful tonality of the rich walnut color. After introducing the Darkening medium we have found that many artists are using Walnut Darkening Medium straight out of the bottle to achieve rich dark brown tones. Due to the high concentration of pigment it will be much thicker but still allow the same lifting abilities of the Original ink.
