They can be used with most types of ink, some of which are incompatible ...

A chiseled brush permits the painter to cut into tighter corners and paint more precisely. Brush handles may be made of wood or plastic while ferrules are metal (usually ...
No two students have exactly the same view, thus their drawing will reflect the perspective of the artist's unique location relative to the model.

A Flex nib (or flexible nib) is a type of fountain pen nib that can create different line widths. Due to its non-rigid structure, a flex nib allows a writer to control line width by adjusting the pressure of the pen on paper. Increased pressure will cause the two tines of the nib to separate slightly, allowing more ink to flow onto the page.
