What you need : Dip pen, Paintbrush (Round medium), Watercolor paper, Watercolor, Clean water
Start by creating a color well on your palette by mixing your desired color with few drops of water. You can change the consistency of water depending on the transparency you desire.
Now using a brush coated with paint, transfer a generous amount onto the back of the nib as shown from the tip to the middle. Avoid any blobs and shake the excess watercolor off.
Start writing your first 2 letter. Remember : Upstroke ( Less pressure ), Downstroke ( More pressure). Without washing off the nib add the second color at the base of the first color on the nib. Now write the remaining letters using the same technique to get a visually interesting piece of art.
