The one draw back is if you accidentally unscrew the the barrel taking off the cap...you need to be careful. It is great way to carry a lot of ink. You just need o rings and silicone grease. This is the video I learned to do this:<br />http://www.gouletpens.com/Articles.asp?ID=314Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05286006224820770646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-2143516987508148132014-08-01T16:53:52.127-04:002014-08-01T16:53:52.127-04:00James,

I have learned more from your blog and book than I did in 4 years of architecture school and 2 years of art school. Thank you.<br /><br />Second, I was surprised to see that you don't use Noodler's Bombproof ink. It works great in fountain pens and is WATERPROOF.....it is the best. <br /><br />You are absolutely inspiring and I look forward to your video.<br /><br />Jim<br /><br />http://hammeron.tumblr.com/Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06803083760732005646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-33207402668969975022014-08-01T16:43:16.194-04:002014-08-01T16:43:16.194-04:00Dang.

Then we moved on to cartridge pens, with the roller ball (I used to collect them :)). We had the holes in our desks and everything with the divot up top to rest the pens! Cursive writing in Primary school..I wonder if it is taught much anymore; penmanship! In Secondary school, we climbed the back of our school (which was on a hill, of course) and cut off pieces of bamboo from trees in the back of the school and made our own calligraphy pens! (We also used the bamboo to make tables and chairs in Girl Guides).

One thing I might recommend, place the syringe completely in the reservoir when you're filling. Press hard enough to block any leaks. I had trouble with getting Jackson Pollock/Ralph Steadman splatters on my clothes and face before that. Fine, now. jeff jordanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05996337570175075303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-59389738651135731602014-08-01T13:29:43.661-04:002014-08-01T13:29:43.661-04:00Hi James,

It seems easier to me and I can fill it the whole way, which I find difficult to do when using the squeeze method.<br /><br />I've not tried refilling ink cartridges, but may give it a go. <br /><br />I keep on Niji filled with the Higgins Brick Red. It is adaptable and blends well with black. <br /><br />And the last secret in my portable backpack arsenal is a selection of Foray Rolle ink pens. They come in a good selection of colors, bleed/blend well and. used with a water filled Niji, they are a good alternative to carrying a watercolor pallet.Jean At Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14288183476087156126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-75028418754537370642014-08-01T13:02:26.198-04:002014-08-01T13:02:26.198-04:00Arbi, it' a good question, and I'll try to...Arbi, it' a good question, and I'll try to answer it in a week or two.James Gurneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01870848001990898499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-7659443919403913172014-08-01T12:12:50.446-04:002014-08-01T12:12:50.446-04:00Hi James I am following your blog for about two ye...Hi James I am following your blog for about two years but this is my first comment so far(Your and Andreas Deja's blog are my favorite) Thank you for sharing. I do apologize for this irrelevant question and request that I am going to ask but I am really desperate to understand this subject. I have read almost all of your posts about light and color and Googled about it but I didn't find any clear answer for this question. Could you please explain about "complementary shadows". do you use it in your painting? Is it real? How do you implement that. Some says its complement of light's color that we should consider and some says its local color of the surface, or both and also some other artists says its not true at all or it's not always true. Some attribute this(complementary shadows) to impressionist habit in painting the reflected color of blue sky in shadows and others attribute it to simultaneous-contrast. Would you please write about it? I do apologize again for asking this irrelevant question and also for bad English.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
