Ink Review #471: Troublemaker Sea Glass

Hello and welcome to today’s post! I ordered a bottle of TM Sea Glass back in February, and it was delivered around 8 months later (due to COVID). Sea Glass is a pleasant, unsaturated light green.

This ink had high shading and no sheen. I've included a close-up of the ink where you can see lovely orange undertones. The color is on the warmer side of the green spectrum.

I found this ink to have a dry flow like the other Troublemaker inks. The shading is fantastic but the ink is too dry for my taste.

Overall: If you are looking for another excellent shader from Troublemaker, I suggest taking a look at Sea Glass! It does have a dry flow so I would recommend use in broader and wetter nibs.
