But in our experience, using a good pen holder makes it easier to realize your vision and reduce mistakes. The holder's body should be balanced and comfortable, and its nib mount should be secure and easy to use. Most cheap holders have maybe one of these features. Kakimori's artisan-made pen holders have all of them—plus, they're made with natural materials for a stunning look and feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the Kakimori Sakura Wood Pen Holder, made from Japanese cherry by local woodworkers.  It's sanded perfectly smooth and treated with a nearly invisible coat of ink-resistant finish, so you have a moment to clean off stray ink before it absorbs into the wood. The organic surface and the understated, graceful appearance of natural cherry wood are on full display, without a thick coat of lacquer to obscure them. The holder is gently tapered toward the back, with a low center of gravity and a perfect 7\" length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery Kakimori dip pen holder is fitted with a Tachikawa universal nib mount. The Tachikawa mount is a favorite among pros who use ink, like our resident cartoonist Curt. Unlike the Western style dip pen mount with a large, open hole and metal prongs, the plastic press-to-fit Tachikawa mount is rustproof and harder to gum up with ink. It also holds the nib much more securely than metal nib mounts, which lose their tensile strength when used repeatedly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note, a nib is not included.

Optimist is made with natural shellac, a beautiful organic resin that binds pigment to paper, resists UV radiation, and dries totally waterproof. Unlike many drawing inks, Optimist includes only lightfast pigments, so the colors mix perfectly, and your work can be displayed for many years without fading.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ffffff;\" data-mce-style=\"color: #ffffff;\"\u003eUse \u0026amp; Care Tips\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsing Optimist Mixable Color is simple: grab a dip pen or brush and get some ink on it. You can use Optimist straight from the bottle; it's highly fluid and moves smoothly across paper. You can also dilute it with Optimist Colorless Medium, the purest form of our water-based shellac. (Dilution with water is possible, and produces some nice textures and effects, but please note that adding water will change the characteristics of the ink and make it less waterproof.)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOptimist dries quickly (within a few minutes for a normal application), so you can layer more inks or watercolors over it with no blending or bleeding. It's also an ideal choice for adding opaque highlights and shadows to your watercolor pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShake well before using. Keep brushes wet during use and wash promptly for best results.

Our original formula was hand-mixed and much less consistent than Optimist, but our customers loved it because traditional shellac-based ink is just special, and it's not that easy to find anymore.

More commonly, manufacturers announce refinements to existing products, new colors, etc., but the analog art materials business is a very old one, and it's often thought that there's nothing really new to be invented.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe metal dip pen nibs from Kakimori ares a rare exception. We've never seen anything quite like it: a conical nib with eight capillary slits carved into the sides, capable of holding a surprising amount of ink near the surface of the nib. Submerge the Kakimori Metal Nib in pigment ink, liquid watercolor, or any other water-based artist ink, and it quickly fills with color. Then, you can write or draw for a long time before needing to dip again.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's not just the high capacity that distinguishes this nib from traditional dip pens. It's an incredibly expressive sketching tool, because the ink is continually drawn to the variously shaped surfaces of the nib through capillary action. The ink doesn't run and drip; it adheres to the tip and the wider, wedge-shaped areas around it. As a result of this unique design, you can quickly transition between line weights, shapes, and flow rates by turning and angling the nib.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause you can use it with such a wide range of wet media, the Kakimori Metal Nib is truly a game-changer for artists in a variety of disciplines. Calligraphers will appreciate the ability to write longer pieces without constant re-inking and the unique line transitions this nib offers. Illustrators and cartoonists can pair the ease of use of a fountain pen with their favorite pigment inks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd if you enjoy watercolor sketching, the Metal Nib might just change the way you work.

We designed Tonic for maximum pigmentation, and you'll notice that a pan of Tonic is more concentrated than many other artist-grade watercolors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith just a few drops of water, you can make bold, saturated marks on wet or dry paper. To make typical, translucent watercolor washes, you'll need to add more water than you might expect. Most Tonic colors start out semi-opaque because of their high pigment load, but they open up with water, becoming light and subtle as they're diluted.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt any concentration, Tonic is free-flowing. It's easy to load onto a wet brush, easy to lift from its pan or from paper, and easy to move the brush across watercolor paper. Some brands of watercolor are too sticky or slow-moving to allow painting on dry paper, but with Tonic, you don't need to pre-wet the page for most techniques.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOUR EXTRA-LARGE PORCELAIN PAN\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is our signature package for Tonic Watercolor — a large, hand-poured porcelain pan containing 20 grams of solid watercolor. That's approximately seven times the net weight of a typical half pan of watercolor paint! With its huge size and affordable price, Tonic is one of the absolute best-value products in fine art materials today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlus, when you're done using a Tonic pan, you can easily wash out the porcelain dish for use as a palette — or, to refill with your favorite large tube of watercolor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTonic Porcelain Pans measure 45 mm (1.8\") in diameter and 19 mm (0.75\") in height.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMADE WITH FINE ACACIA GUM\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne element of our recipe is highly traditional: we use specially sourced and carefully tested gum arabic as the binder for Tonic watercolors. Gum arabic, which is the plant-based medium of virtually all watercolors, varies wildly in quality and consistency. As we learned over dozens of materials tests, some grades and species of gum arabic are totally unsuitable for watercolor. Some are merely acceptable. The best-quality gum arabic (which is what we use in Tonic) offers incredible transparency, flexibility, and handling. That's why our Tonic Watercolor Medium is noticeably clearer than many of the other brands on the market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLIGHTFAST, MODERN PIGMENTS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll Tonic colors are lightfast, with ratings of 7 or 8 on the eight-point Blue Wool Scale. Paintings made with Tonic colors are suitable for commissioned work and for long-term display under appropriate gallery conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTRIPLE-MILLED FOR PERFECT DISPERSION\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe put each Tonic color through extensive testing to ensure that the consistency of each dispersion is perfect. That means that each tiny particle of pigment is surrounded by the watercolor medium. Tonic Watercolor is completely free of clumps and inconsistent pigment dispersion—unlike handmade watercolors, which can't achieve the same consistency, and even some cheaper factory-made colors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur process for achieving these professional-grade results involves several stages of mixing, milling, and quality checking. First, we use a dispersing blade to pre-mix each color with medium. The pre-mix can take quite some time, because we use such high concentrations of pigment. But when it's done, the paint is a smooth paste without major clumps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter the pre-mix, we use a three-roll mill to fully disperse the pigment and break up any clumps that are invisible to the naked eye. Each time the paint passes through the mill, it is pushed with incredible force through a tiny gap, generally measuring less than 50 microns (0.05 mm). The shearing force breaks the bonds between nearby pigment particles and turns the paste into a luxuriously smooth, free-flowing watercolor paint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree passes through the mill are required to make Tonic silky smooth. This labor-intensive process requires considerable skill from our mill operators, who ensure that each batch meets our exacting standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNO ANIMAL PRODUCTS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe're pleased to let you know that Tonic contains no animal-derived products.

There's less pigment per milliliter in a student-grade paint, which means that the very darkest colors may not be achievable.

Some brands of watercolor are too sticky or slow-moving to allow painting on dry paper, but with Tonic, you don't need to pre-wet the page for most techniques.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOUR EXTRA-LARGE PORCELAIN PAN\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is our signature package for Tonic Watercolor — a large, hand-poured porcelain pan containing 20 grams of solid watercolor. That's approximately seven times the net weight of a typical half pan of watercolor paint! With its huge size and affordable price, Tonic is one of the absolute best-value products in fine art materials today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlus, when you're done using a Tonic pan, you can easily wash out the porcelain dish for use as a palette — or, to refill with your favorite large tube of watercolor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTonic Porcelain Pans measure 45 mm (1.8\") in diameter and 19 mm (0.75\") in height.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMADE WITH FINE ACACIA GUM\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne element of our recipe is highly traditional: we use specially sourced and carefully tested gum arabic as the binder for Tonic watercolors. Gum arabic, which is the plant-based medium of virtually all watercolors, varies wildly in quality and consistency. As we learned over dozens of materials tests, some grades and species of gum arabic are totally unsuitable for watercolor. Some are merely acceptable. The best-quality gum arabic (which is what we use in Tonic) offers incredible transparency, flexibility, and handling. That's why our Tonic Watercolor Medium is noticeably clearer than many of the other brands on the market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLIGHTFAST, MODERN PIGMENTS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll Tonic colors are lightfast, with ratings of 7 or 8 on the eight-point Blue Wool Scale. Paintings made with Tonic colors are suitable for commissioned work and for long-term display under appropriate gallery conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTRIPLE-MILLED FOR PERFECT DISPERSION\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe put each Tonic color through extensive testing to ensure that the consistency of each dispersion is perfect. That means that each tiny particle of pigment is surrounded by the watercolor medium. Tonic Watercolor is completely free of clumps and inconsistent pigment dispersion—unlike handmade watercolors, which can't achieve the same consistency, and even some cheaper factory-made colors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur process for achieving these professional-grade results involves several stages of mixing, milling, and quality checking. First, we use a dispersing blade to pre-mix each color with medium. The pre-mix can take quite some time, because we use such high concentrations of pigment. But when it's done, the paint is a smooth paste without major clumps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter the pre-mix, we use a three-roll mill to fully disperse the pigment and break up any clumps that are invisible to the naked eye. Each time the paint passes through the mill, it is pushed with incredible force through a tiny gap, generally measuring less than 50 microns (0.05 mm). The shearing force breaks the bonds between nearby pigment particles and turns the paste into a luxuriously smooth, free-flowing watercolor paint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree passes through the mill are required to make Tonic silky smooth. This labor-intensive process requires considerable skill from our mill operators, who ensure that each batch meets our exacting standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNO ANIMAL PRODUCTS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe're pleased to let you know that Tonic contains no animal-derived products. Unlike many watercolors, Tonic does not contain ox gall — instead, we use modern surfactants to achieve the same effects as the traditional animal-derived recipe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMORE ABOUT FEDERAL COLOR\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFederal Color is the manufacturing department at St. Louis Art Supply.
