Most of the pens I am currently using have been inked for several weeks, but I recently filled my Parker 51 burgundy with my favorite ink, Sailor Kobe Suma Purple.  I don't count the burgundy among my favorite pens, mainly because I have a plum that is exactly my favorite color, but the nib is luxuriously smooth and showcases Suma Purple beautifully.

Woah! Love that sketch. Your application of wash is unique and it conveys dreamy quality.

Thank you.

 

I generally do a rough ink-sketch and then hit the ink on the page with a waterbrush (pentel pocket brush filled with water) to basically "paint". I posted a little vid once on reddit --- here is a trimmed and sped up (2x) version starting where I bring in the waterbrush to a very rough "sketch" (apologies for focus shifting in and out):

An Omas Cristoforo Colombo II M and my grandfather's gold Sheaffer Snorkel Triumph M upstairs, and three demonstrators downstairs--a Franklin-Christoph Model 31 Omnis MCI, my faithful Opus 88 stub, and an amber Jinhao 599A F sent with some ink for review. Here's the FC:

Congrats on that purchase. I looked at it multiple times one day and almost pulled the trigger, but I've bought too many pens lately. I hope you enjoy it!

I restore vintage pens like this one and find good homes for them.
