With calligraphy — and art and general — the name of the game is experimentation. Remember, one of the perks of writing with any pen that you can dip into ink is the ink is super customizable. Write with coffee if you want to, even! As long as you’ve got a thin and smooth liquid that can make a stain, you’re in business. And don’t be afraid to make ink concoctions. Sometimes, you’ve got to work to get the color *just right*.
