Ink Review #495: L'Artisan Pastellier Encre Classique Olive

Today we will be continuing our foray into L’Artisan inks. Olive is from the Encre Classique line and is a lightish grey-green .

Swabs:

This ink had high shading and no sheen. It is a grayish green that is slightly darker than Kala Blue Lagoon Vapor and Kala Winter Dawn.

This ink had an average, smooth flow. I liked this color a lot! It’s a desaturated, muted green that can be used in the office.

Overall: This is a legible olive green with great shading and flow. It would be a good alternative to the Kala Nostalgia Abstraction series which is pigmented and waterproof.
