I first saw this pen on YouTube during Inktober, I normally work exclusively with watercolour and when I saw online how this pen reacted with water I had to get one. The nib is a block chizzle nib, it is stiff so it is nothing like a brush pen, you can get variant line weights just by turning the pen, you can even draw out fine details with it which is fantastic but personally I didn't find that it writes/draws smoothly because of the stiffness of the nib so try to put less pressure on the pen when using it, however I would love for Speedball to bring out a brush tip with the same ink. It is quite a lightweight pen with a plastic barrel. I have tested the pen on both generic card stock paper and watercolour as I wanted to test the effect of adding water rather than use it as a calligraphy pen. So for anyone interested: I added water with both a brush (which is best if you want more control over where the pigment goes) and with a mist bottle and the effects are beautiful, once the pigment has been saturated with water it won't reactivate you would have to layer down more ink. As seen online the colours that bleed are blue, pink and purple. Once the paper is dry you can carry on writing or drawing with the pen. I think it would be a great addition to any artist's arsenalRead full review

This pen has a lovely chisel tip for calligraphy. For the artists out there it reacts beautifully with water and produces a wonderful blue black effect. Well worth the money.

Having seen a demo on screen, I sent for this pen to use with artwork. If you like pen and wash paintings, you must try this product. I used the fine nib in black and if you do your drawing and then use a paint brush dipped in water as a wash, the colours and the effect that creates are just amazing - a beautiful blue and then pink - but still subtle. If you prefer really colourful paintings, theses pens also come in a variety of colours.
