May 31, 2002, Newsletter Issue #45: Rediscover the Fountain Pen
Tip of the Week
I have to share with you my (re) discovery of the old-fashioned fountain pen in my painting. I have used this pen in conjunction with FW Ink, a water-based ink and have had the greatest time getting neat writing and line work. The ink comes in many colours including gold, and, of course, pen nibs come in all sorts of varieties. Fine, bold, broad, left-handed, etc. I wouldn`t be using ink on a painting, but the FW Ink is a waterbased medium that does dry fast and firm - no bleeding. This would be a wonderful tool for those of you needing something more cost effective for pen and wash techniques. A simple quill pen and FW Ink will save you heaps on felt tip pens!
