I just bought some more rapidographs so I can try ink again, also.<br />SherylMermaid's Palettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07350174833218228420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7061571236470916248.post-90736771345571894582010-12-11T21:03:46.546-05:002010-12-11T21:03:46.546-05:00Hi Brinda ... you pen work looks wonderful on thes...Hi Brinda ... you pen work looks wonderful on these two pieces. As you well know, I often combine watercolor and pen. Over on www.Flickr.com there is a qroup devoted to 'pen and watercolor wash'. <br /><br />AS far as I'm concerned there are no rules, but it is important to know the properties of the pen you are working with. Some pens we buy just to write a letter have ink that fades. I put samples on my windowsill where they would get a lot of sun and two faded completely! Also you want to know if your pen lines will bleed when wet and or stay put. Sometimes I choose one and sometimes the other. <br /><br />I've been very happy with Pigma's Micron pens.. waterproof and archival and they come in different sizes. When I want the lines to bleed I usually use a fountain pen with Pelikan Fount India ink. There are other good inks, just be sure never to put real India ink in a fountain pen. It will clog.<br /><br />Experiment!Elva Paulsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08642197019054496596noreply@blogger.com
