Mastering the Kakimori Brass Nib with Kuretake Gold Ink: Essential Tips
In this video, I’m sharing my favorite tips for using the Kakimori Brass Nib with Kuretake gold ink to help you achieve better results using this dip pen. If you've been struggling with this dip pen, after watching my art videos and you loved it, you're not alone—many artists find it tricky at first! I’ll show you how I use the dip pens and give you my tips for how I get the best from this dip pen. It is my favorite dip pen personally for its versatility and ease in drawing curves and circles. I'm not an affiliate for this product - I just shared it because I love it. I get enough questions from people to troubleshoot for this pen and ink that I thought a short video would be helpful!
