I've gone for an Italian ink and copied a Belgian man.

 

This Stipula Calmo Grigio Fumo ink in a fountain pen disappointed me . . . loads.

This ink in a dip pen . . . oh my ! :yikes:

 

The written & drawn lines stay dark, dark brown, almost black in fact with hardly any feathering considering the amount of ink going down.

Dipping a brush into the bottle and working it onto paper produces a very rich chestnut colour.

When washed over with water, the ink splits and a bluey grey colour remains.

 

I may have to eat some humble pie with this fella and start sketching more, in a very wet pen with it :unsure:

Nice! What ink is that though? Italian ink... from Stipula?

Oh, poo. I'll edit it now :blush:

Thank you.

 

Look at how it looks when used in a pen :sick:

You're right. Much richer with a dip pen. You made a better ink out of it.

 

Your folded nib would love this stuff :)

I've really been having fun with these weekly prompts. I can't seem to get anything else done! :rolleyes: I was being so careful and then I forgot that I'd added ink on the B and smudged it. Oh well . . .

 

It's a CRV - I hope Amberlea won't mind the smudge. ;)

Once they arrived here, I got busy playing with them. We had no internet for a day.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

      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
