Professional - Natura Dualis Sea Spray Dual Tone

Sea Spray – Natura Dualis Collection

The Natura Dualis collection by Van Dieman’s is a series of inks inspired by the meeting points in nature — not just where colours change, but where they blend and coexist. Every ink in this line is carefully crafted to highlight multi-shading, colour splits, rivering, and halos, designed to move on the page like light across water or wind through trees. No ink is flat — each one carries within it a subtle tension between opposites.

Sea Spray is the gentlest in the collection, and perhaps the most elusive. It evokes the fine mist at the edge of the ocean — not the wave, but what the wave leaves behind. It’s a breath of salt and wind, where pale light hits drifting water and vanishes again.

This ink carries a delicate seafoam green base, split by blooming lavender-pink hues and edged with cool marine blue. In broader swatches, it reveals luminous haloing and soft internal textures — like sunlight refracting through mist. On Tomoe River and Clairefontaine, expect soft rivers of colour that shift tone mid-stroke; in writing, it remains legible but uniquely atmospheric.

Sea Spray is for the dreamers — an ink as airy as it is expressive, capturing the meeting of sea and sky in a shimmerless, multi-tonal wash.
