Encre Classique - Ecarlate

Encre Classique - Ecarlate - ink drop

In my eyes, coral has always been a color that instantly communicates its beauty. L’Artisan Pastellier’s Encre Classique Ecarlate is exactly that kind of coral.

This is a strong, rich, highly saturated pink-red coral. With different nibs and different papers, it will appear somewhere along the spectrum from a light, dusty pink coral to a concentrated, dark candy red-pink coral.

In writing, it produces crisp, well-defined strokes that sharply contrast against a white paper. It's highly readable, with no evidence of feathering or bleeding. It’s also a quick drying ink, which is always a plus to me! There’s some shading, but that’s not its strong suit.

Encre Classique Ecarlate is a simple writing ink wrapped in a glorious coral costume. It does its job beautifully, and it does it in style! L’Artisan Pastellier inks are some of the best bargains on the market, particularly if you order direct. If you’re looking for a nice coral, or an alternative to the more typical range of reds, this might be the ink for you!
