FOUNTAIN PENS

Fountain Pens are not included in kits or required, but can be a wonderful addition to your journaling experience. These are left off the list  to allow for personal preferences in type and color.  Carbon Ink  (or pther pigment ink such as a sepia pigment ink ) is the preferred  ink for using in watercolor journaling due to its more permanent quality.  Bottled Ink requires a converter. 

Platinum Fountain Pens   (fine tip recommended)

Carbon Ink Cartridges

Converter and Carbon Bottled Ink

If you can budget or put on your gift list, the Platinum 3776 with the gold tip. It is a delight to use with the carbon ink for journaling in the UEF Ultra Extra Fine tip.

The Platinum 3776 is such an enjoyable pen to write and sketch with, and my most favorite tool in the studio and in the field. As
