Artline Ek993 Mettalic Calligraphy Pen - Gold

Product Information

The safest rule with all fountain pens is to use the ink recommended by the pen manufacturer. Manuscript Fountain Pen Ink I certainly had reservations at first. It’s advertised as a watercolor palette … and, of course, watercolor doesn’t have a reputation for high opacity and precision {thus its charm}. However, I wouldn’t call this a watercolor palette. Think of it as dehydrated calligraphy inks that you need to re-hydrate. You may be wondering: “How on earth do I use that ink?” You’ll use the same technique as outlined in my watercolor calligraphy post; namely, you’ll wet the ink with a brush and a bit of water …

Given its remarkable design, I thought it was difficult and messy to use. But, it does otherwise. The ink stays on the nib every time I dip it in the ink bottle. I won’t have to keep on dipping a lot of times. These remarkable brands have been pioneers in the field of arts and crafts. Their expertise has developed innovative art tools throughout the years including an immense lineup of calligraphy pens and accessories. At a glance, the metal storage tin strikes me as a fancy professional set. It surprises you with enough selection for the nib sizes and pen bodies that both students and experienced artists can enjoy. Whatever brand or kit you’re planning to invest in, just remember that your first calligraphy kit won’t have to be expensive or look fancy. As long as it has the essential tools such as the pen, ink, and nib, you’re good to go. I think brush lettering becomes a lot more doable with these tips. The soft tip has a buttery feel that lends an outstanding smoothness in every glide. The hard tip does the same and only demands lighter pressure.then, once you’ve created a mixture of water and pigment that is rich and opaque, use your brush to transfer it to your nib. It takes a bit of practice when using these pens, though. As you have to dip it in the ink bottle, it can get messy at times. This may result in heavy streaks of lines and inconsistent textures. Considering this, some of the beginner sets on our lists that you can try are Tombow 56190 and Mont Marte Calligraphy tool kit. Other Important Factors to Consider

The nibs are interchangeable and you can switch between five different types. It also allows you to customize your pen with four pen bodies.

It goes well with any kind of ink. I’ve tried dipping it in bottled ink and I’m impressed how the nibs can hold a great amount of ink—no need to dip the nibs too often. Not only can it prevent any spots and drips, but it also allows uninterrupted writing. The kit includes 12 different colors of glittered ink choices, which I think is a lavish collection to spruce up your craft. Each shade renders an elegant effect on every stroke. It’s also fascinating to see that the colors are very pigmented while keeping its ravishing sheen. Because of its familiar feel in the hand, it’s safe to say it is an easy calligraphy pen that can save your artwork from lots of ink mess. Besides its convenience in use, these pens can create fine lines that can be very useful for drawing intricate elements and writing characters. Many calligraphers resort to brushing pens and markers to illustrate modern calligraphy. Brushes have felt tips, while markers have synthetic fibers. They both glide smoothly on paper and deliver amazing results, particularly when writing Chinese and Western characters.

However, the common problem with large tips is the tendency to bleed through the paper or smear, particularly when used on low-quality papers.For brush lettering neophytes who want to develop their skills, this Tombow Beginner Lettering set has all the calligraphy essentials you’ll need.
