Mostly correct.

Dip pens are all you sed. Messy, slow, and tedious ....but, they also
are very "flexible", allowing fine-line up-strokes and thick-line
down-strokes, a phenomena found in really OLD fountain pens (also, very
pricey! FP's).

Lotta Youtube videos with dip pens. Here's one:

BTW, the dip pen she (Suzanne Cunningham) is using is called an
"oblique" dip pen, as opposed to a "straight" dip pen.
