A little experiment with blue and black calligraphy ink, this one is a bit looser than the ones I posted earlier and I didn't use any gouache. Still inspired by Lena Furberg though.
Sumi ink, a prized ingredient in traditional Japanese calligraphy, can take years to produce and costs over $1,000 per stick. Why is it so expensive and does it really make a difference?

What’s The Difference Between Fountain Pen Ink And Calligraphy Ink?
While both fountain pen ink and calligraphy ink are designed for use with writing instruments, there are some key differences between the two inks- Calligraphy ink is typically thicker and more viscous than fountain pen ink, which makes it easier to control when writing with a calligraphy pen. Fountain pen ink, on the other hand, is thinner and more fluid, which allows it to flow more freely through the pen nib.
