Fabulous!!, Nina!!! I remember when I was checking to see which of my pens were permanent and which bled, back when I was doing a lot of pen and watercolor and discovered for myself that the black Elegant Writers were so marvelous! That was in the late 90's, before Facebook, and I remember marveling about it! I thought it was just because my pen was going dry. Turned out to be quite the deal! I love that you made this video!

Oh wow I didn't know they did that, I don't have these pens but I do have a water soluble art ink pen that does something similar, I used it a lot last Inktober.... Love how these flowers turned out, good fun! Your blackcurrant Elaine xx ❤️❤️🌼

Sorry it took so long to get back to you with my test results. I just had a play with my Calligraphy pens. I had a five pack of a black, blue, brown, red, and green. The brand is Sanford. They are about six years old, and used a lot. The black was the only one that separated and changed. The black lines turned brown and the water created only a yellow bleed. I have a brand new black Y&C Caligraphy marker from Japan. It bled a nice blue and purple, but did not yield the dramatic results you got with the Eligant Writer. I am not on Face Book,so I can’t take pictures and share. I hope this information is helpful. As always thank you so much for all you do.

Finally used my Elegant Writer pen. I didn't look carefully enough at the packaging because I got the chisel tip - not the smartest idea when I went to draw. Going to have to buy one of the fine tip markers. Thanks for telling me I can draw a picture in pencil first before going over it with the pen. Edit I also tried my pen on an artist trading card first.

@NinaRibenaMixedMedia

Hi May, mine are the chisel tip ones too. Persevere with them as you don’t need perfect lines to get a good effect with these pens. I think I used the 2mm nib for mine, but experiment. If your lines aren’t even, it doesn’t matter as that will add to the effect once you add water. Enjoy 💕
