Hello, came here following your recommendation on the painting gouach on an illuminated calligraphy letter design. And yes! I freezed too when the branches started to bleed. well saved tho. As you said, I use micron pens for the sketching when using watercolors, but more often than not, i use a pencil sketch, apply watercolor, and once dry i use either the micron pen or a nib pen. I loved your brause blue pumpking nib and your handler, seems very comfortable. I'm struggling here in Mexico to get brause nibs (For calligraphy) Either companies don't ship to Mexico or the shipping cost are very high with no much to add to de invoice order to make it worth the shipping. Congratulations you are a very fine artist. Learning a lot from you. Thank you very much.
Thank you. I am interested to know how Speedball India ink works. Both Sumi ink and Speedball India ink have a little shellac in them to help them be shiny and more or less waterproof. Perhaps Speedball has more shellac and will be more stable. I will try it in a future project! I like using Brause nibs, and am equally comfortable using Speedball C-series nibs, especially for larger lettering. For line and wash projects I like pointed pen nibs. Nikko G is a good one!
