Chapter 1
Understanding Pen Tempera
Pen and ink is a traditional watercolor rendering technique that uses
line and color together to shape the picture. It is a traditional watercolor
rendering method. It is easy to use and has a lot of artistic interest. In this
chapter, let's get to know and understand the tools and materials used in the
creation of watercolor paintings.
1.1 First acquaintance with pen light color
-What is fountain pen light color?
Pen and ink is a form of art creation that uses pen as the main creation
tool, line as the main modeling method, and watercolor to enhance the
visual effect and bring out the atmosphere. What are the characteristics of
fountain pen light colors?
The pen light color technique is accurate, general, realistic, and
artistic, especially suitable for comprehensive scenes with many scenes.
Compared with other expression techniques, such as watercolor and colored
pencil, we choose to use pen light color because the pen line drawing with
the rich color of watercolor will make the picture more fresh and moving.
1.2 Introduction of tools and materials
There is a wide variety of tools for painting with light pen, the most
important being paper, brushes and paints. Of course, when painting, it is
not only limited to using these, but also some other tools should be used
appropriately according to the overall effect of the painting.
1.2.1 Drawing paper
If you use markers or colored pencils for coloring, you don't need high
quality paper, just ordinary copy paper or drawing paper; if you use
watercolor, you need watercolor paper with good water absorption.
Watercolor paper texture
The finer you can draw the deeper
and more detailed, the more realistic the image is shaped, so the thickness
of the paper should be chosen according to the need.

1.2.2 Paintbrush
-Fountain pen (with ink)
Here we recommend you to choose a Lingmeyer fountain pen. First of
all, there are many models of Ling Mei fountain pens with different nibs, so
you can choose according to the needs of drawing and your own
preferences. In addition, Ling Mei ink comes in many colors, so you can
choose according to the overall tone of the picture you need; and there are
two forms of ink bottles and portable ink cartridges, so it will be convenient
for sketching at home or traveling.
In addition, fountain pen light color needs to be colored, some of the
more well-known waterproof ink is also our choice, such as catfish ink, of
which polar bear brown is more commonly used.
