The key to making dip pen ink is controlling its viscosity. The basic formula is:
Pigment: gouache or Chinese ink;
Water: Purified water is best to avoid impurities that affect the ink's uniformity;
Thickener: Gum arabic (a natural plant gum that increases gloss and viscosity and prevents bleeding).

Mixing Tips:
1. Proportion Control: Using 5ml of water as a base, add 0.5-1ml of pigment (adjust according to the shade) and 2-3 drops of gum arabic.
2. Tool Usage: Stir clockwise with an eyedropper or toothpick to avoid air bubbles.
3. Testing and Adjustment: Test on regular A4 paper. If the ink bleeds, add more gum; if it's too thick, add more water.
4. Advanced Techniques: Add gold/silver powder (such as mica powder) to create a pearlescent effect, or mix different pigments to create a gradient.
