This glass dip pen is one of the new ones I ordered before Christmas. It is much smaller in scale than the first one, which could be a problem for one with large hands. It is fine for me, though the nib is not quite as smooth either. These glass dip pens hold an amazing amount of ink! I simply dip it as far as I like (as long as I don't go above the twisted part), and start drawing. I choose India ink for this because I am following immediately with my watercolors. My fountain inks would all bleed, giving the color a definite blackish hue, not muddy but very dirty looking. I've only tried that once! Every painting is a lesson. Painting number 1819 in 1819 days.
