Solvent Based Pigment Pens fineliner?
I'm trying to find crayons – fineliners preference – for use on painted metal miniatures (28 mm in size). I have a black line Staedtler pigment that works quite well but the package fineliners Staedtler Triplus are useless because they dissolve on contact with water or saliva to be more specific! Can anyone tell me where I can buy? after an hour and a half of trawling through Google I'm not sure that still exist, but that would be incredibly useful if they do. Thanks Papierdreams and Felineroche. I finally found what I wanted: "Fabien Castell PITT feathers and feather edding Profi.
Ranger Adirondack possibly feathers. They have an ink pigment and resin that works in most of the substrates but say it can be fixed by the heat of iron can not be permanent enough for the thumbnails and the tip is a little thicker than a fineliner. You should find in stores crafts for card manufacturers or can order them for you. The palette is not primary colors. Staedtler pigment coating is next drawing pen only in black. The only exception I know is the DR Pilot Pen drawing in sepia color comes in tip sizes 01, 02, 03, 05 and 08. to stroke width of 0.28 mm to 0.8 mm.

History of Mughal Miniature Paintings, Depicting Indian Culture
If we decide to classify the paintings of India, that would be in two general sections. One would be murals, like the paintings done on the walls of Buddhist caves of Ajanta and Ellora. Another section would be of Miniatures art. These paintings remained small in size. They are painted on materials like Hand Made paper and cloth. These miniature paintings are the artistic wealth ofIndia.
History: The miniature paintings are done by Indian artists since many centuries; we can see some paintings done in sixth and seventh century, too. But the art of Miniature Painting reached its golden height during the period when the Mughal Emperors were in power. The emperors like Babur, Humayun, Akbar, Jahangir, and Shah Jahan were fond of the art. Baburnama, Akbarnama, and Jahangirnama were the books narrating heroic deeds of these emperors. Various miniature paintings and portraits were done to illustrate the incidents narrated in these books.
Fall of Mughal Dynasty: When the influence and power of the Emperors of the Mughal Dynasty started decreasing, the art of miniature painting had found its home in the palaces of Rajaput Kings. These kings and princes were ruling central and eastern parts of India. They loved the art and they patronized the artists doing miniature artworks. This helped the painters to carry the stream of artistic depiction flowing undisturbed.
After that happening, the art had become more inclusive. It became wider in choice of subjects and deeper in injection of meanings. The artists started working on fresh subjects. They started using new technique of perspective painting which they borrowed from the western countries.
The Secular Art: Art of miniature painting was becoming a secular one. It crossed the boundaries set by religions. Hindu kings were adopting the Islamic subjects like depiction of heroic deeds of rulers. Likewise the Muslim emperors of India were respecting Hindu scriptures. They encouraged artists to paint scenes from Hindu scriptures like Mahabharata and Ramayana. Due to such changes in the concepts, the artists were inspired to do their best.
Some of the miniature artists were inspired by popular books of love poems like Geet Govind. There were artists who concentrated on quite a new subject like classical tunes. They evolved a new style of painting, Ragamala, based on Indian classical Ragas. The painting style known as Ragamala Painting is precious treasure of Indian art. Under this style, an artist tries to infuse the feeling of musical notes into a painting.
