Studio Essentials : Chinese Painting : Bamboo Brush Pen : Medium : brush on one end : pen on the other

Worth buying to experiment with. Worked well with my Sennelier shellac inks (which don’t take nibs well). The brush is not good quality (can be useful for quickly wetting the ink) but the bamboo end is great for ‘raw’ and expressive marks.

Loved this brush so much I bought two of them! Exactly what I was looking for with a shorter handle than some other bamboo brushes. Love that you can use it as a dip pen or a brush. The brush end fits snugly into the top of the pen when not in use and to prevent damage when traveling.

3 because fun and cheap but so far brush is quite sticky and stiff (maybe needs more wetting/cleaning?). Have not tried pen end particularly but satisfying to hold. Potentially good for travelling with though as protects its own bristles.

My learners enjoyed the session so much that some of them have subsequently ordered their own supplies from you.
