Product Description
The bamboo pen, also known as a "reed" pen, is one of the most ancient writing and drawing instruments. It is a dip pen made of bamboo that yields an emotive line of great variety and power. Many famous and expressive drawings by Picasso, Van Gogh, and Matisse were done with reed pens and these type of pens have always been popular with professional illustrators and designers. The Bill Buchman "Zen" Pens are different from the reed pens generally available to the public in that they are truly a professional quality art instrument. The traditional design has been updated by Bill and these are manufactured by skilled craftsmen in China. Although these dip pens are made to be used primarily with Sumi ink, India ink, and various kinds of calligraphy inks, they can in fact be used with any fluid media. Watercolors, gouache, liquid acrylic, acrylic gouache, acrylic and "tech" inks, Sumi and India inks, liquid watercolors, and even oil paints and other viscous paints may all be used for a great variety of effects. Although the "Zen" pen is designed primarily as a drawing instrument, the pen offers interesting calligraphy and artistic writing possibilities and can be easily customized with sandpaper for unique special effects. It is also ideal for incising on ceramics, pottery, reliefs and sculpture as well. The pens come in three sizes that deliver three distinct line thicknesses. The "Zen" bamboo pen - 1-Fine has a fine point that offers a sturdy yet refined line unlike the line of any other pen you have ever tried. Dimensions:Length: 10 "/ 25 cm; Diameter: ½ "/ 1.3 cm. You can see the "Zen" pens and brushes in action on the Bill Buchman art instructional DVD's, "Art Is an Attitude" and "Creative Breakout", and in Bill's drawing instruction book, "Expressive Figure Drawing (2010, Watson-Guptill/Random House)...all available on Amazon.
