Thank you, Liz - really comprehensive analysis of these pens and what works with them.

LIz, that was so very helpful to me. Thank you.

I cannot wait for your line and wash book to release.

I love mine, too. Thank you for showing the pros and cons!

Just thinking about buying one, so found this really useful. Love your down-to-earth approach! Many thanks!

Your tips are something I look forward to watching. Thanks so much for taking the time to do them. 😃

Very helpful! Thanks much for sharing all the relevant details!

That was so useful and informative. Thank you very much Liz.

Really interesting, Liz - thank you very much!

Thanks for such an informative video Liz! I've often thought of getting a glass dip pen and it's great to know which of my supplies would work best. I think I'm going to treat myself to one!

Thank you so much. That was very helpful.

A friend of mine uses her glass dip pen to sign her work using a watercolour used in the painting. Going to order my own now that I’ve seen your video. Thank you!

Thanks Liz, great tutorial as always. Think I may put some on my Christmas list 🙂

Great - thank you, that is really helpful

Thank you so much. I just got a glass dip pen and I am really excited to start using it in my pen and watercolor work.

Thank you. This was very helpful.

Fantastic Liz, Really helpful. Thankyou for taking the time to share. Glad to have discovered you on u tube x

Thank you!

Very helpful, as I just purchased two glass pens and have been wanting to try them!

They make glass dip pens now in what are more like conventional pen bodies with screw-on caps. One of those, a brush, and a watercolor set might work really well for drawing en plein air.

Enjoy your videos. Thank you.

I started to do ink some months ago. I normaly do watercolor. I like it. I use watercolor brushes and nibs. I wil buy a glass dip pen and go ahead with it! Thanks for your video-tuto. Tata for now

love to use ink! and thankyou for showing us how versatile glass dip pens are... i would have to use a plastic or silcone pot for washing the ink off,to avoid damaging the nib

Really helpful thanks. Just purchased a glass pen and it is brilliant! Highly recommended. I had wondered how something so beautiful would work in practice, but it’s great. I only paid less than £10 so I’d agree, don’t spend a fortune for one 👍🏼😀

Just received a set of glass dip pens today Thank you so much for your demo and ink review. Very helpful.

The pretty coloured inks supplied with these pens are most definitely not lightfast and in my test at home faded within weeks. Do love my glass dip pen though! Thanks for this informative video - very helpful!

Wow thank you so much for this short and brilliant video!! The best one i've seen so far 👍. I kept watching video's cause my pen drips some, i never know when it starts to drip and Ruin Everything, so i can't use it.

Drinking Indian ink for breakfast! Hahahahaha. That comment made me laugh! I have a mini glass workshop in my garage (for making glass beads) and a few years ago I tried to make my own dip pen, but it was not good!!! I ended up buying a very cheap one with the hope that looking at one close up might help me to make one, but I’ve not tried again since, the grooves are far too detailed for my skill level. Anyway, watching this video makes me want to dust it off and use it!

Thank you, I love glass dip pens and have a small selection of my own. Now, 🫣 I want more!! 😊 Let’s go shopping 🛒💨Fran

Would love to see you updste this glass pen review with some glass pens that have italic nibs and stub nibs. Their benefit is obvious; a variable width line.

Fabulous video, I subscribed. My daughter bought me a glass pen a year ago along with the full range, about 36 Dr PH Martins Bombay Indian Ink large bottles. I'm ashamed to say I haven't tried either yet. 😔 We did move house is my excuse. I'm on it now, TYFS Kate in New York 😊

Interesting. I do a lot of dip pen work and love the flexibility, but sometimes I want a steady line and things like Rapidographs clog so easily (plus it uses a different ink, which can be easy to spot on originals).... I'm intrigued by these glass pens and might give them a try.

I have two glass dip pens and W&N Gold Metallic ink. It doesn't work with one of my pens but works fine with the other. I have a lot of shimmer inks and they all work well. I find that you just have to try each ink with each pen and see which pairings work.

Excellent! I was wondering if it would work with metallics and masking, thanks for showing that too! I wonder if pebeo masking would work, since it can be watered down so much. Going to order one for experimental purposes. Thanks so much! :)

Wonderful video! Recently bought a glass dip pen and am experimenting with it. The ink I use is waterproof fountain pen ink - I found that if it gets time to dry in the little ridges, it can be hard to clean, but I have not found a good way to combat this, since when you do a larger piece and frequently dip, there will be some unevenness and drying, and water then does not wash it off. Any tips around handling this so it does not interrupt the work flow are appreciated! I don't want to be cleaning it fully every three dips or so. 😅

Thank you for this comparison, I love the look of the glass pens, they are gorgeous, however, being of a clumsy persuasion I don’t think they will ever be for me! 😊

Thank you for saying to go for comfort, not beauty, when buying.

Thank you Liz for your film , I would like to try this pen where can I bay one , I live in Holland

Hello Liz. Thank you so much for that video! I just started writing with my glass pen and I somehow can't get used to the shape of it. If it's comfortable in my hand it won't write. If I rotate it a little bit, it writes but it feels so uncomfortable! Now I know its just the pen. I might get a cover thing for my fingers so it won't hurt anymore (I already bought another glass pen with a different shape. I hope it fits better into my hand! 😝) But I saw a lot of people writing with a metallic/sparkle ink and their glass pen. Do you have any recommended for sparkly ink for a glass pen? Like you said, they are mostly too thick or the particles are too big. You would help me a lot! For now Im using a black ink from Parker and a dark red ink from Octopus Liquids. The little ink that came with my glass pen also has glitter pigments in it but since it's a bright yellow you don't really see the colour at all unfortunately I would love to have some more inks! Also, where did you get the Indian ink from? It looks so good! ☺

Thanks Liz. I bought a glass dip pen but have not used it as yet. Could it be used to sign a watercolour painting with watercolour paint?

What is the brand of the iridescent pen? It’s gorgeous.

Thank you for this informative video. May I know whether they are good for doing tiny white dots on eyes (I usually paint on small A5 papers)? I ask because I have bought so many types of pens, markers etc to do this & I am so frustrated! 😢😂 Hope you can answer in the affirmative. Thx 😊

What are the differences in drawing ink, calligraphy ink, fountain pen ink and India ink? I have all mentioned other than drawing ink and really cannot tell the difference.

🤔Can you get a specific line size...0.5mm, 0.7mm, 1.0mm, 1.6mm??🤔 ☝🏻I can see a 1.0 or a 1.6 alot better when writing...the smaller is very difficult to write with🤷🏻‍♀️

I was using with my acrylic ink, Amsterdam brand, and occasionally a big blob would drop onto my paper causing a great deal of trouble. Can you think of what I’m doing wrong? Thank you.

I bought one but I get a blob when I first start. Don’t quite know how to avoid this.

I bought one of these and I just can't get it to work. I may get three words out of one dip, but that is not usual. Frustating when I want to use them for writing the brand and color name on my ink swatching. Any suggestions?

Can you use watercolor with the pen? Or is it ink only?

I got my glass dip pen a few days ago and it was working just fine but all of a sudden now it won't hold the ink.What may be the problem and what should i do???

Liz or anyone help please. I bought FW Daler Rowney White, but it won't flow through my twisty glass tip. It just blobs. It also stuck to the glass tip despite saying it washes off in water. Not even hand sanitizer will clean it off. Any ideas why anyone 🙃

How does alcohol ink work

I hate watching videos like these: a little voice in my head will for days and days be saying 'Buy one, buy one!' I really shouldn't, but then again, perhaps I might! Thanks for the informative video, especially covering the types of ink.

As I started to watch this , my husband asked, What do you want for your birthday?

You haven't prooven with chinese ink yet.
