Can I use Watercolor Paper with my Fountain Pens?

Hi Pen friends!

Today’s video is about watercolor paper. Have you ever used it for fountain pen art? With a few important caveats, it can be great! This video explains those caveats from my experience. Feel free to drop your experience in the comments!

Like the pen? It’s a PenBBS 499. You can find it here: https://www.etsy.com/shop/PENBBSOffic...

And this is Noodlers Nightshade, the ink I used in the video. https://amzn.to/3Eu1eka

And here are all the papers I tested, from highest to lowest rank:

Bee Paper (I learned after publishing this video that this paper is cold press on one side and hot press on the other. Didn’t know they could do that): https://amzn.to/4aZq4of
