Mixed Media Art Questions

I've just started using your art prompts for 2010. What kind of pen nib do you use? It seems to write so smoothly! Thank you Milliande!

Hi ,
I am glad you are enjoying our art journal prompts, i look forward to seeing some of your pages..

with nib I presume you are referring to the pen and ink nib I use... mine actually came from an italian calligraphy art supplier that makes nibs and handles for traditioanl calligraphy

I bought it on an art visit to florence and love the way it writes so beautifully on all kinds of mixed media surfaces..

The name of the pack I got is " Giovanni Riela Artigianato Italiano"

They produce a beautiful range of nibs and holders with carved shapes that lay comfortably in the hand when writing..

I use the nib with acrylic ink from Raler Downey or India Ink either permanent or watersoluble depending on the effect I am after..

hope this helps

Artist Statement

I am intriqued by the notion of universal consciousness and choose to peek closely at the small particles that make up existence.

Human and living form cell biology, the interplay of microcosm and macrocosm, quantumphysics and the spiritual connection to the Self all nurture me with an endless stream of inspiration.

The female form and its nature of being, the beauty of motherhood, viewing the world in fragments rather than wholes and the palpable energy exchange and communication between them are central themes in my artwork.

I enjoy making the invisible visible and creating openended visual artworks that invite the viewer to explore deeper within their own layers of perception.

Contemporary Mixed media art techniques provide a rich playground for my artistic impulses and allow room for an individual approach to the multilayered facets of my artwork.
