I Made A Little Film . . .

[Tas]

I wanted to show, and share, the process involved when I make my little Sumi-E style Koi with my Pilot Namiki Falcon.

I hope you like it.

Wonderful and very well done! Thanks for posting that

Well, you made my morning, thank you!

 

This is absolutely fascinating...

[catbert]

Beautiful. Thank you.

Very nice, indeed.

 

I always enjoy using the flat back of the nib to put down broad swathes of colour!

It (obviously) uses a lot of ink, but the effect is worth it - just means refilling more often!

 

Thanks for sharing,

Beautiful! And beautifully done.

[Tas]

Thank you, everybody

I've spent most of the day making loads of these Koi to share. I think I've got the knack of it now . . . just.

 

It's been very therapeutic. I've had Miles Davis, Chet Baker and some Japanese LoFi Chill on in the background as support.

 

PS. Blackstone Red Cashmere makes for a DEMON Koi.

Very cool video. Brings new meaning to "writing with the pen upside down" but worked very well.

Thanks for posting.

WOW!

 

Surely one of the nicest demonstrations of the beauty of a fountain pen, ink & skillful artist.

 

Thank you for sharing.
