Weenk - Deep Highlands

Weenk - Deep Highlands - Ink drop

The third ink in Weenk’s Vol. 3 Slow Adventure series is Deep Highlands. It’s a fresh and vibrant green, and like the others in the series, it’s a shimmer ink. The series was inspired by Korea’s wetlands, and the inks match the theme quite well.

Weenk Deep Highlands is interesting. It’s very much a lush, highlands green. Some papers bring out more of the yellow influences, while others take it closer to an emerald green with only a hint of yellow in shading. Check out the swatch comparison images on Tomoe River (original) and Cosmo Air Light to see what I mean. In both styles, the green is brilliant and inviting.

Weenk’s shimmers have been largely trouble-free, and I’ve really been enjoying them in look and use. Here, it’s a mix of blue, silver, and I think a touch of gold. It looks great against the greens. Shading is really nice again, too. I found nice variation on both coated and uncoated papers.

Writing sample on Cosmo Air Snow paper

This is a wet, well-lubricated ink that is very comfortable in writing. There’s a nice stroke profile edge, and I didn’t have any problems with feathering. Show-through was very minimal on high-quality papers, but there’s a bit on cheap office copy paper (no surprises, right?) This is a nice writing ink.

I can see myself often reaching for Deep Highlands. It’s a beautiful green, and the touch of yellow makes it much more interesting to me than a standard emerald. The shimmer never takes away from the color. It decorates, but never disturbs in look or writing experience.
