## Questions & Answers

**Q: The colors of large box and small different? In pictures it looks like small sicks are brighter. Large ones look more for landscape.**
A: I have the larger box, and I use the colors for all my color needs., not only landscape. I believe this is a good question for the seller. The product is excellent and I relayed always on materials from this seller to being very good.

**Q: Are these opaque when ground or transparent?**
A: Opaque comes from the lights.  I will change the pictures at once.

**Q: Are these made with plaster or animal glue?**
A: These are made of different natural mineral with bone glue or oxhide gelatin

**Q: Can you tattoo with them like horiyoshi the 3 does**
A: I have no idea, sorry.   But I wouldn’t advise it because pigments often contain heavy metals - which is how many are derived, such as cadmium, cobalt, etc.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I am in love with these.
*by C***. on September 23, 2024*

These many not be fire everyone. They are a soft slightly muted shade on paper. They can be as sheer or opaque as you would like by using less water or more from the ink stick. Just playing around I was able to layer the same color in varied shades easily. I was also able to mix them for other colors. They also seem to have a bit of a granulating effect wet on wet with different colors. Obviously none of this is the original intent but, it is amazing as an art supply. A lovely water based ink.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very Pleased, Vibrant/Intense Colors
*by C***K on August 30, 2024*

I’m not an artist, so keep this in mind when reading this review. I’m also just starting out grinding my own ink, so have a lot to learn. As others have noted, the colors are, indeed, very vibrant, almost intense. This is a major difference in the few other Chinese color ink sticks I’ve used so far in the limited amount of time I’ve been trying this - not to be critical of the other ink sticks, just something to beware of. This collection and the others I’ve used are all great when used in works where their characteristics help. I’ve attached a very quick painting of a roadside scene in Texas at the height of a wildflower bloom. Several of the ink sticks used together produced a very realistic rendition of the Bluebonnets. Ditto for the Indian Paintbrushes. The yellow and green combined worked well for the grass. Beware, there’s no black in this collection. I attempted to mix the darkest stick (thinking it was black) with the green to produce some shadows in the trees - as you can see, no luck. This is actually a blue or violet, albeit very dark. And I need to work a little harder on the trees - I’m not very good yet. The paper used proved to produce a lot of feathering - again a characteristic that’s a mixed bag. I feel this was what was needed to capture the line of trees in the distant background, not so much if one wants sharp detail. One also needs to use the right choice of brushes. I used this painting to “go to school” on, so used only one (mediocre) brush. I could’ve done a bit better using some of the good brushes I have and using the right brush for the right subject. I’m very pleased with this product, I just need to hone my skills and use the right paper/brush(es) so I can use this product to its fullest potential.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good quality, but..
*by S***S on February 12, 2022*

Easyou Hukaiwen Ink Block 12 colors small set:The colors are pretty good , they have a very earthy tone to them, the stick size is 6.5 cm on 1.5 cm.But this madium is not made for kids!Because of the natural pigments they are indeed toxic, be carefull when using them, to not eat or sniff or apply on your skin ( for long time/open cut)!But overall these are a very good quality inks, they blend smoothlly and vibrant, and they make a very relaxing painting experience (as long as you take a basic care while using them )Hope it helped😊
