Thank you! 😊

Little tip; Never shake the fountain pen! Just squeeze a little in the cartridge before using it. If you shake it you can get inkt all over the place.. Store your pen with the tip up, so your pen won’t get clogged.

[@TatianasArtandCraft]

I didn’t know that! Thank you so much for your tip! 🤩

[@NongNyu]

You can buy cartridge converters for fountain pens and then just buy sketch ink (i‘m using Rohrer&Klingner) to fill the cartridge yourself :)

[@TatianasArtandCraft]

Thank you so so much!! I will check them out! It would be great to have more flexibility on what inks I want to use 🤩 Thank you for sharing it!

Temu has a lot of great options for art protection pouches. They're heavy duty waterproof zipper pouches, folders & portfolios in lots of larger sizes. Very reasonable prices. I suppose the leather, zippers and sewing adds to the costs of pricier portfolios.

[@TatianasArtandCraft]

Thanks for sharing! 😊

Try to sketch with the watersoluble inks and 'activate' the ink with a waterbrush! Nice monochromatic sketches!

[@TatianasArtandCraft]

I will give it a go, thank you! 😊

[@becswift2988]

I use De Atramentis archive ink (waterproof) in my fountain pen and it works wonderfully with watercolours. And there are a number of brands that produce waterproof inks for fountian pens in many different colours.

[@TatianasArtandCraft]

Thank you so much! I will check these inks out! 👍😊

❤️ Funny stuff! I watch your videos at night with my two dogs in tow. They laugh and laugh and laugh. I wish my dogs did something extraordinary then they could be on your show. In the meanwhile, great upload.

I had to sub to your channel. I love supply hauls. I love watercolor and all. Happy I found your channel

Those fountain pens look very much like Lamy pens in their design and Cult Pens in the UK sell a convertor for about six UK pounds. Their actual Lamy pens are about £20 but they are great. I use an ink which Diamine made especially for CP in mine called Very Dark Brown but it is only water resistant. What you need is Rohrer & Klinger SketchINK…it comes in a good range of colours and is waterproof. If you sign up for their Penorama newsletter you will get 10% off. They are still shipping to Europe. Hope that is of interest 🙂

[@TatianasArtandCraft]

Thank you so much for such profound information! They do look like Lamy and I was thinking if I should get “the real deal”… but you are right, I should probably try with a converter first, it would definitely be cheaper and might be good enough as I don’t use these pens that often for now. Thank you so much for taking your time to share all this info, highly appreciated!! 🙏😊😊😊

[@gillinacook1477]

For your fountain pens, you need to buy a converter and a bottle of water proof ink. That’s what I did, they are just great to sketch with then watercolour painting over the top with the problems you are getting.

[@TatianasArtandCraft]

Thank you so much for this tip! I am considering to do just that 😊🤩

[@pavlova2126]

Thanks for the video! Did you ever manager to open the second pen?

[@TatianasArtandCraft]

Yes I did! It was very tough though...

[@samantharankinstinamisan5583]

New fountain pen nibs need to be washed with warm water & soap then thoroughly dried. There's a coating on new nibs....

[@TatianasArtandCraft]

I didn’t know that, thank you so much for this info, Samantha!! 🤩

[@charityariverpixie998]

Once you pop your cartridge in you can give it a little squeeze before you screw the pen together to get the ink flowing ☀️

[@TatianasArtandCraft]

Thank you for such a fantastic tip!! I will definitely do it next time! 🤩

[@FaithMidnight]

Orders being shipped by sea will take longer than orders shipped by air. Also they have to pass customs when they make it to the destination country, which also takes time.

[@TatianasArtandCraft]

That is true, AliExpress is not the place to order if you need something urgently... 😅

[@KingKing-bo5yf]

In china, the paper size is how many times it is cut/folded and is always by 2, from the biggest original factory paper sheet. If you fold and cut one sheet of paper once you got 2 sheets. For instance, 2K is folded once, 16k is folded 8 times which is roughly the size of A3. 32K is about A4. 64K is similar to A5.

[@TatianasArtandCraft]

Thank you so much for your comment and for this information! I will keep that in mind for the future! I was so confused when the very first time ordered, as I thought, a large sketchbook and got a tiny one instead 😅 Thank you for the explanation!

[@KingKing-bo5yf]

Waterproof inks for fountain pen are more expensive than regular ink. So if they don't write in the description that ink is waterproof - it won't be for sure. It's like cotton watercolor paper - if it's cotton they will always inform about it 😁 ...unfortunately I've seen (on AliExpress) paper blocks descpripted as cotton and on photos of actual item there was no "cotton" word on it, so the seller was wrong

[@TatianasArtandCraft]

I see, I will keep that in mind! 😊 It actually seems to be difficult to find water proof inks that are in cartridges already instead of a jar… 😔

[@CATAZTR0PHE]

@@TatianasArtandCraft normal ink has super fine particles in it. While waterproof ink is a different type of substance than regular ink, the producer must grind its particles so that it do not clog the fountain pen... but still its particles are larger (and therefore heavier) than regular ink, which is why, unfortunately, waterproof ink tends to clog the pen after a long time if you don't use it. That's why you shouldn't use india ink in a fountain pen because it has too large particles and it will clog your pen super quickly. Unfortunately looking for a cheap waterproof ink for a fountain pen is a search for the Holy Grail 😅 there are few brands and they are always more expensive than ordinary inks, because they are produced differently (probably the production process is more expensive? I'm just guessing). There are cheaper waterproof inks (chinese brand) on AliExpress though.

[@TatianasArtandCraft]

Thank you so much for sharing such great information! It sounds like I should stick to the dip pen for the waterproof inks… It’s just each time I open such jar I feel like I risk having all over my table and me… 😅 Thank you so much for your comment!

[@CATAZTR0PHE]

@@TatianasArtandCraft You can look for refillable converter for fountain pen - it's very easy to use and it's not expensive.

[@Oozaru85]

Isn't the Paul Rubens paper basically just the Baohong Paper but more expensive? I'm pretty sure these chinse brands all use the Baohong paper. I don't think there is any other 100% cotton watercolor paper supplier in China other than Baohong, lol.

[@TatianasArtandCraft]

Thank you for your comment! To be honest, I have not looked into it so I have no idea 😊 There are actually two types of Baohong 100% cotton paper, one is considered a student paper and the other one is Artist's Choice which is supposed to be a professional one. The last one is very expensive, in the same line as Arches and others. Maybe Paul Rubens is somewhere in between? All in all I am satisfied with the quality of the paper, especially in the sketchbooks 😊

[@Oozaru85]

@@TatianasArtandCraft Is it cold pressed or hot pressed? I'm looking for hot pressed 100% cotton sketchbooks for my illustrations. The cold pressed isn't really very well suited for it, imo.

[@TatianasArtandCraft]

It is hot pressed 😊 Just note that the paper is not as smooth as Arches hot pressed or Fabriano hot pressed student line but I think that for the line work, if you are doing it, it should work very well! I think Etchr also have 100% cotton hot pressed sketchbook but I have not tried those 😔

[@Oozaru85]

​ @TatianasArtandCraft Thank you ever so much. Yeah, I just found both versions of their sketchbooks (hot and cold pressed) on the small a. I've been using Baohong Academy hot-pressed paper so far, which also has a slight texture to it. And it works well for me. So I'll definitely give the P.R. sketchbook a try.

[@TatianasArtandCraft]

@@Oozaru85 You are very welcome, it's always so nice to exchange experiences with different supplies! 😊

Well, you need to buy waterproof ink if you want it to be waterproof 🤷‍♀️ I have SketchInk.

Buy a piston for it then u can suck the ink up

Fountain pen inks are not normally waterproof as waterproof inks mostly tend to clog pens.

[@TatianasArtandCraft]

Thank you for your comment, Vicky! 😊 Really?& And I was wondering why all pens stop working as soon as I replace the ink in them... Any tips on how to unclog them?
