Hi!

 

In the thread on Rome Burning I promised to do some drawings using this unique ink. I have still not found a way to use the effects of the ink (yellowish brown turns to lucid purplish blue when washed with water) in art composition in a successful way. The paper has to be put underwater, or under running water for this effect to take place. A standard waterwash with a brush isn't enough to initiate the colour-change. I used it in the drawing below without experimenting with this colour-change, it is the yellowish-brown colour.

 

Here is a Nightmare Cityscape inspired by the book Perdido Street Station by author China Miéville.

The inks are Rome Burning (yellow-brown), Burma Road Brown (brownish green), Diamine Damson (purple) and black (Noodlers and Pentel brush pen black). I also used waterwashes. The gray is Noodler's black. I do like a black that turns gray, not any other colour, when diluted (sic).

Meandering among monsters, bottles of ink, teeth, tentacles, old pens and various notebooks…

Thank you very much for visiting my blog! I just realized The Love Letter is actually pen related, so here it is!

The outline was made with Burnt Sienna drawing ink and a dip pen.

Hello Mattias! I love your work and sense of humor :) Are you using a waterproof ink with your fountain pen? What ink are you using?

Love,

Ewa

Here are another two fairies drawn with Waterman Hemisphere (EF). The ink is Havana Brown by Waterman. When you add water it turns a bit purple.

Hi, I'm rather new to FPN and thought I'd post a few pieces in the way of an introduction and say it's a pleasure to be aboard. (I love pens and ink. :thumbup: )

Doodling with my Waterman 55 on a Quo Vadis cahier.

Gorgeous! Your talents with a flex nib really bring the mane to life. What a stunning "doodle"!!

Hi, Ewa,

 

Thanks for including the link to your blog in your wonderful fairies posted above. I've had such fun looking at your artwork. Your fairies have so much personality, they've practically burst off the page (screen). :) I can see why you love your new Sheaffer with the flex nib - you make it sing! What are some of your favourite inks to use for drawing? I love the effects you get with water. For example, I never saw Waterman Havannah Brown look so richly complex.

 

I'm glad you added Love Letter to this thread. It's one of my favourites on your blog. :)

 

Thanks for sharing!

 

All,the Best,

Gem

Hi Gem!!!

Thank you very much for taking the time to visit my blog! I don't have that many inks but here are some illustrations along with a short description...

 

J.Herbin Cacao du Bresil : I absolutely love this ink!!! I use it for drawing with my pen but I really love using it as a wash. The colour is beautiful! In this sketch I added some salt on the roof to see what happens and the ink got a bit more browny orangy rosy where the salt was.

http://ewaludwi.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/rain.jpg

 

J.Herbin Lie de The: I think I've already posted a drawing I made with this ink. It does the most amazing things if you splatter water on it. The wash turns orange green red and grey. The flow is sadly a bit dryer than Cacao and there is a bit more laddering...or maybe it's just my pen?

http://ewaludwi.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/waterspirit.jpg?w=500&h=757

 

J.Herbin Poussière de Lune: Beautiful colour and the flow is very, very nice! I used it for both sketches but the upper one is a photo so it's a bit darker and orangy...The scan shows the colour better.

http://ewaludwi.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/rose-garden.jpg?w=500&h=700

http://ewaludwi.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/cemetery.jpg?w=500&h=666

 

Rohrer & Klingner Alt Bordeaux: The colour is very lovely and saturated and when dilluted with water (in the pen) it's a soft faded pink...maybe similar to Bouquet d'antan by Herbin.

http://ewaludwi.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/vine-fairy.jpg?w=500

 

Rohrer & Klingner Sepia: This ink is beautiful!!!! It reminds me of cacao du Bresil but it is warmer and the flow is even better!

http://ewaludwi.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/fae.jpg?w=500&h=722

 

Waterman Purple: I only use Waterman cartridges for my Hemisphere but I must say I prefer J. Herbin and Rohrer&Klingner inks...I found this purple a bit too light but the colour is nice I think

http://ewaludwi.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/water-baby-41.jpg?w=500

 

Well that's all for now....I still have Königsblau by R&K which I haven't tried yet, Perle Noire by Herbin which I love but I haven't done any sketches with it yet and some Waterman cartdriges (Green, Florida Blue and Black...and Havanna) but these are my favourites so far :)

 

I hope you like it!

Ewa

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
