Kakimori brass nib, platinum carbon ink and watercolor |
Before the roses open up completely, these flowers from Valentine’s Day were begging to be sketched. This colorful handful always cheers a corner or a center space in a home. These came from Guatemala. They don’t smell but certainly they look beautiful. I used my newly acquired Kakimori brass nib to sketch this. I dared to use on textured watercolor color paper I haven’t been using, which by the way, working with a fountain pen can be challenge and a little bit unpleasant in this kind of paper. This nib however, delivered juicy lines constantly, it holds a lot of ink minimizing the need to deep the nib in the ink frequently. I was very happy with the performance and result.
