fountain pen ink swatch #13: private reserve orange crush

[cimorene]

Private Reserve’s “Orange Crush” fountain pen ink on Clairefontaine white paper applied with Speedball C-0 italic, C-4 italic, and B-3 dip pen nibs, a Hero 616 petite fountain pen with an extra fine nib, and a paintbrush (and water).

An intense reddish dark orange with a lot of shading that can go as dark as maroon if thick enough. Writes smoothly and without issue; verges on amber in a fine pen.
