In this article, I compare Sailor Fude Fountain Pens versus Dip Pens for drawing and writing, plus the different types of Ink considerations for both. When using waterproof inks, I show how easy it is to paint over top of the illustrations with watercolors!

Below is the full video workshop of my live painting session. The Sailor fude fountain pen, dip pens, inks and accessories used in the video are listed afterwards in this article. Enjoy! 🎨

Here is the link to the YouTube account of watercolor artist Diane Antone from whom I have learned many helpful tips for painting with watercolors: https://www.youtube.com/@DianeAntoneStudio
