Urban Sketching: How To Fill & Travel With Fountain Pens

Your fountain pen questions, answered! In this video, I'm showing how to fill a fountain pen with ink using a converter, how to clean it, and how to travel with it while (hopefully!) avoiding spills and leaks. Another tip I didn't mention in the video: If you have a tiny bit of ink left in a travel bottle, dip your brush in it and paint with it! Add a bit of water to dilute it and have fun. Art supplies mentioned in this video: Lamy Safari fountain pens Sailor fude nib pens Duke D2 and 209 pens De Atramentis Document Dark Red Ink Ink Miser for making use of every drop of ink in the bottle Small plastic ink bottles for traveling with an extra supply.
