How to Make Ink for Calligraphy

[@artistgenixpriyanshigupta752]

I made my own ink using some gum arabic, watercolor, water, and some gold acrylic and it works wonder even with fountain pen. And the best thing there was no bleeding even on the cheapest paper.

Saddly, mine bleeds.

I found you thru Harriet’s channel. I never thought of making my own ink so this was very interesting and I’ll give it a go. Thank you.

Hello and very Good Morning!! I am so happy that I found your channel and the video too. You have made a very nice video showing the differences. But I have a little doubt again, about which of the three that you have mentioned, ie. acrylic, water colour and gouache can 1. give out fines lines in Calligraphy. 2. Which dries faster and 3. why everyone without even a second thought say "gouache" when asked for Coloured calligraphy. Please help me out. I have seen your amazon page., you have quite a collection there.

Hey, I'm so pleased you found the video helpful. I personally prefer using Schmincke Calligraphy Gouache, I find I can get lovely hairlines and it dries so well, I only really use acrylic if I'm doing envelope calligraphy. I'm unsure what you mean by your third point can you let me know? x

@@wildseacalligraphy8319Good morning!! Thank you for your reply. That was very helpful. I was asking you why everyone uses only Gouache and not Acrylic or any other form of colour. I keep watching videos on KZbin. That was my third point. May be personal preference, I dont know ! Thank you for your reply. You are very talented and beautiful.. God bless with all the success.

Very informative. Love it ❤ Can we use the acrylic paint for pilot parralel pen ,please , waiting your answer impatiently..

[@wildseacalligraphy8319]

I don't actually know for a parallel pen, perhaps using a watercolor or gouache might be better x

Awesome! I had a few bottles of acrylic, and wanted some custom ink colors, this really helped!
