DO you mean the pen and ink ?

~ I use a pen holder such as would be used for calligraphy writing and a nib that attaches into the holder

~ My penholder I purchased when I went to an Art Retreat in Italy last year , it is manuafactured by a company called Giovanni Riela Artigianato Italiano "

~ The nib is a very long but fine pointed steel nib that can be found in the calligraphy section of art stores or a specialist store that may carry letter writing tools

~ I use a variety of nibs, mainly those that have a large holding reservoir and can work with the thicker density of the acrylic inks i use ..as opposed to calligraphy writing inks

~ I work with a pencil underneath and then apply either india ink on top .. both in soluble or non s water soluble form dpending on what effect I am going for


~ If I work in white I prefer to use acrylic inks .. some from windsor and newton, some Daler Rowney depending on the colours

hope this helps
