Ink

What is ink?

Ink is a liquid medium traditionally used for writing, drawing, and calligraphy, but it is also widely applied in modern crafts and art projects. It offers bold, vibrant colour and can be used with pens, brushes, or nibs to create both detailed lines and expressive strokes. Ink has been a favourite among artists for centuries because of its versatility and intensity.

Different types of ink

At Vaessen Creative, ink is part of the drawing and writing supplies collection. It is available in many varieties, including pigment-based ink for long-lasting, fade-resistant results, and dye-based ink for rich, flowing colour. Waterproof inks are ideal for combining with watercolour techniques, while specialty inks come in metallic or shimmering finishes for decorative effects. Ink bottles can be paired with dip pens or brushes, making them suitable for both precise drawing and expressive painting.

Creative hobbies & projects with ink

Ink can be used in many hobbies. In watercolour painting, waterproof fine liners and ink outlines can be combined with washes for expressive illustrations. In Halloween crafting, black or metallic inks can be used to create spooky lettering, tags, or invitations. Another inspiring use is in flower crafting, where coloured inks can be used with brushes or pens to add fine details and vibrant shades to floral motifs. With ink, you can achieve both bold and delicate results.

Why choose ink for your projects?

The main advantage of ink is its flexibility. It can be used for traditional writing, technical drawing, and expressive art, adapting to every creative style. Ink provides depth of colour that other mediums can’t always match and allows for both permanent and experimental techniques. Whether you are making cards, artworks, or seasonal decorations, ink gives your projects a professional and artistic finish.
