Скачать или смотреть Diamine Inkvent Calendar 2021: Day 15, Night Shade

This is a daily video series of the new red Diamine Inkvent calendar for 2021. Each day I'll open the day's calendar door and swatch the ink that's inside. Some days I may also compare some other inks, but mostly that will be all. There may be some spoilers if you read below this line... fair warning.

This ink is called "Diamine Night Shade", and it's a high-shading purple blue ink, very similar to Rhorer & Klingner's Isatis tinctoria, though slightly more purple. I was puzzled about why it was called "Night Shade" at first; I know that mistletoe is a poisonous plant and I thought that it might be in the Nightshade family, but it's not. In Tim Burton's "A Nightmare Before Christmas", the protagonist uses nightshade as a poison, so that might have been a reference, but in the end... I think it's just because this is a high-shading ink that's a blueish color.
