I Had No Idea This Was A Thing

So my penfriend was telling me about Speedball Elegant Writer calligraphy pens being able to do this arty thing by turning pink and purple and blue when painted with water... I, of course had to Google and found some gorgeous art things being done with this.

So, off to Hobby Lobby, like I need an excuse, and I procured several of these pens and Holy Crap they totally do some amazing things!

I took some stencils and colored them with the pen and then with a watercolor brush, painted the water around it. I got pinks and purples and a nice teal blue - none of which really shows up well in the photos but I might be addicted to this right now.
