Parallel Pen

A Parallel Pen is a type of calligraphy Pen that is designed to create clean, sharp lines and thick to thin strokes with ease. This unique Pen features a flat nib that allows for a consistent and accurate ink flow no matter which angle the Pen is held at.

One of the main advantages of using a Parallel Pen for calligraphy is its flexibility in creating a variety of stroke widths. With the possibility to change the angle of the Pen and the nib, one can easily create a wide range of line thicknesses, from thick and bold strokes to delicate hairlines. As a result, a wide range of calligraphic styles can be created using just one Pen.

Additionally, the Parallel Pen works well with a variety of inks, including watercolors and gouache, making it a versatile choice for artists. It can also be used with various types of paper, giving artists even greater flexibility for their work.

Another advantage of the Parallel Pen is its ease of use. Unlike other types of calligraphy pens that require a particular skill level to use effectively, the Parallel Pen can be used right out of the box. Even beginners can quickly master the technique of holding the Pen at the correct angle to create different strokes.

Overall, the Parallel Pen is an excellent tool for anyone interested in calligraphy. Its flexibility, versatility, ease of use, and ability to create a wide range of stroke widths make it a top choice among artists and calligraphers alike.
