Thanks for watching my video (how to make a quill pen).
For anyone that made a quill; if you find that your quill pen tip is permanently staying spread apart slightly and not dispensing ink properly, there is an easy solution. Fold both sides of the tip inwardly with your finger or nail. Now the tips halves will be in line again. I usually do this every time I begin drawing.
Tip #2: use a lupe (16x) to check the tip before using it to be aware of it's condition.
Have fun. Quill pen drawing can be a fast and spontaneous medium.
Warning: Be careful about getting ink on your clothes or on someone next to you.
about my working process
- Eddie Ching
- These days I am working from my sketches and drawings instead of plein air painting. The drawings are almost all done with my quill pens (on paper) and ink, with some watercolor or gouache paint. The vitality of the lines made with the quill pens is really inspiring. When I'm canvas painting, I fasten a drawing next to the easel (or on the easel) to look at. As I work I see in the drawing things that I was missing before. The process is not about copying the drawing onto the canvas. It could be described as a process of transmutation of what I see when I'm looking at the drawing. After you look at this blog, you might want to check out my website: eddieching.com.
