Dear FPN Friends,

 

I have done this before in my

 

 

https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/index.php/topic/273578-susemai-van-gogh-colour-plate-experimenent/

 

In which I used a Van Gogh drawing to test some of those EXCELLENT Susemai inks....

 

I am now doing it again :)

 

Today there are not only adult films.... There are also adult coulour plates

I wanted to use as many of my inks as possible. I did not use the cartridges though.

 

But why a Colour Plate experiment.... I am a grown up.... er sort of...

 

Well... the reason I did so you can see in the following picture

 

http://i1286.photobucket.com/albums/a617/Morbus_Curiositas/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20141007_112159_zpslbuviz0_edit_1412674066605_zpsexqiau5g.jpg

 

Well... You see...

 

I am a bit of a spastic-fantastic Luny-Remabrandt

 

.... Wouldn't You agree??? :)

 

 

 

Back to business now.... My Coloured Mandala

 

I used a Mandala as it has many "squares" to fill in

Technique

 

For the bigger surfaces I used a swab

For the finer work I used a dipped in Fountain pen (like the Yellow in the centre)

 

The De Atramentis wine ink Merlot (centre) I used a filled Fountain Pen

for

 

The colours look different when using a Fountain Pen (dipped or filled) they look a bit darker. Although one could always drench the swab more often.

 

I love all these colours... the Pelikans and the Herbins very well

 

Notice :excl: The Familiarity between Susemai TS Red in the outer circle and the De Atramentis Document Red in the outmost red triangles. The DA is Permanent and Bombproof.

 

Centre Star is an own mix of De Atramentis Document Inks wiht thinning agent. Very nice thing to do.... Mixing permanent colours.... As a Dutchman I love the Orange :)

 

Susemai are fine deeply saturated inks.... they stain a bit though. I spilled some of them on the outer cell of a cheap FP..... the white parts of the FP are a bit pinkish now. (from the Susemai outer triangles in the inner circle)... Nice ink though

 

Too conclude

 

Making colour plates is a nice thing to do. Also is ink mixing (look at the DA permanent Orange)

 

I will do some more of this in the future. I will probably use both a swab and a Dip Pen.... The Dip pen is nice for Using Van Gogh's pointilism technique as showed in the link above

 

If you like to try some yourself simply download the pictures down here...

Thank you, Peter.

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

Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison 

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

      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
