Van Dieman's April is an innovative multi-tonal shader with at least four different hues, and a variety of different characteristics depending on paper and pen combination.
This ink looks a hue of forest green in the bottle and pen, and on first writing, but then quickly changes to pink, purple, blue, turquoise, green, brown, grey and even yellow. On more absorbent papers, like office copy or plain lined, you can expect to see more greens and a small amount of pink, but on high end fountain pen paper such as Tomoe River and Canson, you can expect far more of the pinks, with blue rivers and green halos.
Inspired by the early autumn in Launceston, Tasmania, which starts at the end of March and continues through to mid-late April, when trees have an array of oranges, golds and ruby reds, but also greens and pale yellows remaining, and the sky mottles towards sunset in a multi-coloured spectacle of pinks, blues greys and purples.
