Namrehsnoom that is absolutely beautiful!

Are the background colors watercolor, or all just washes of the ink itself?

"It's very nice, but frankly, when I signed that list for a P-51, what I had in mind was a fountain pen."

Indeed, worked out really well - and it are all washes from the same ink, i.e. it’s a one-ink piece. Really fun experiment... I’m definitely going to try more of these :-)

I have to experiment with it myself! What paper was that?

Bockingford 300gsm Rough White Watercolour paper... but I guess any good quality watercolour paper will do. Use a brush to paint it real wet with water, then apply some ink, and let the dyes do their magic. Let dry and add some finishing touches with pen and ink.

I see I need to get some watercolour paper!

For those of you who, like me, feel inadequate when admiring the artistic skills displayed by others in this post, this will make you feel better. Depending on how you look at it, it's a weirdly 2 dimensional Australian spring day or a bizarre aquarium scene without fish.

 

Missing from the list of inks are Noodlers Walnut and Noodlers Year of the Golden Pig

      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
