How do you manage to get the brown shades?

The brown is a self made ink out of the green from black-walnut. Sometimes overlaid with pencil

The mixture of the ink? I know the recipe and ingredients of ink from a book and the colour of the walnut-capsules is a trial

i love the mood in this.
is it black ink that ends up
a bit on the brownish side
or coloured ink?
