I love fountain pens and inks too! Yes it can be a rabbithole! I have found Pilot Kakuno to be a nice pen for sketching and quite inexpensive. I just refill my emptied cartridges with bottled fountain pen ink. A dropper or syringe works great for the refills. I enjoy using JetPens as a supplier, as well as Goulet Pens.

What a fantastic session! Thank you Art Toolkit and Eileen.

Oh what a video after my heart! There are many possibilities with fountain pens. One pen is a “good start”. The only other possibility is a stick and dipping but it’s not very portable, so fountain pens are the best option. I don’t have deArtimis ink yet, but I’m sure it’s great! Other choices for permanent ink are Platinum Carbon Ink. Diamine Document ink is also an amazing blue black that turns a bit darker with age.

Love color exploration and this template tool for organization of color studies. Excellent adjunct and presentation of its use. TY

Thank you Eileen and Maria, I plan to clean and fill my pens today. What a great motivational video. Yes to daily sketching.

Tk you Art Toolkit for these inspiring videos. I’ve been a journal keeper all my life. My grown son gave me a fountain pen in 2016, and I went in a delightful rabbit hole I’m never coming out of. Recently I took a drawing class. And now I’m ready to combine fountain pens into sketching. Thank you for this video; the timing is perfect!

I'm left handed and find it's easier to work from the back to the front of my sketchbook as well as right to left on the pages. Thanks for such a terrific topic

Wooow❤❤❤

Great video. I started with an old fountain pen I had in a draw for years, once I cleaned it carefully. After using it for a while and doing some research, I then bought a Lamy medium nib fountain pen and then later the sailor fude 55° for the varied lines you can have with one pen. I bought their own converters, too. Recently, I got another Lamy with a different size nib (fine) plus a separate Extra Fine nib. You can buy different nibs separately, and they are easy to swap out. I found the Lamy a good entry-level fountain pen that suits me fine. I also have the platinum carbon ink, again after researching about it. It is still good to use water soluble ink sometimes in sketching as well and blending with a waterbrush. Although I do use fine liners, along with all kinds of materials, I do love sketching with a fountain pen. I've also got an art toolkit pocket size palette I got through Rosemary and Co. along with one of their travel brushes. This video was great because a while ago, I did a lot of research, like I said, through many videos, that you have all in one video. All the best John, South of England

I’m relatively new to sketching but I started at the back and worked forward to avoid that blank first page.

hello- id like to order the standard palette - will this fit 14 standard pans?

Hi Maria! Thanks so much for this quaint video. I wish you and your team a beautiful 2025.

Found that wonderful book "Ish" is read out loud on TH-cam. Saw you both at SketchFest. In fact, I signed up for Genine's class knowing nothing about her and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

I neglected to condition my magnet and when I tried to remove the pans, they ripped the magnet. Is there a way to replace the magnet, I wonder?

So it would work well to put various triads with their related hues in different tins?

Can i use the parallel’s cartriges into the kakuno?

I really enjoyed the video and I always enjoy Romey’s art and tutorials

Fun video! Totally agree about having a number of palettes! They are small, portable and super convenient. Buy more Art toolkit palettes.

Wonderful tutorial, Max! Thank you very much!

Really fun tutorial and paint along! Thank you.

Hi from Australia. I’m brand new to watercolour & I love this idea of working on a smaller scale…much less intimidating. Thank you for the step by step, easy to follow tutorial. Love the ‘Paint it forward’ philosophy 😊

Pushing consumerism says climate concerns in today’s world. Well that’s a relief!

This was wonderful!

Pallet is sold out! 😢 Please make more

I love your watercolors, Max! Thank you for your great explanations. I love mountains as well.

Thank you so much for creating this cute and awesome tool! If I had found this video before, It would be very useful for me, but I still have time, it's a great idea! Thank you 🥰❤️🥰

Hi! I love all these videos and have been going back to some older ones. Were you by chance able to get ahold of his color palette? Super intrigued by all he fits into the art toolkit :). Thanks!

I'm so sad I missed out on the palette when it went live! Will it ever make a comeback?

Why does this video have only half showing?

Thank you!!!❤

19:27 That’s pigment PY129. My favourite pigment.

Thank you! We just returned from Yachats and Cape Perpetua on the Oregon Coast. Your tutorial will help me journal my mini vacay!

Dorlands is the cold wax medium that can be used to seal the gouache paintings .. thx for this video .. Norakag , here 👍

Wow! This was a really good gouache intro. Really appreciated all the good info. I learned a lot!!

Thank you for this tutorial. I’ve learned a lot from you.

I use one of these clear plastic, deep containers with a silicone liner. It never has gotten moldy. It also stays pretty wet.

Use distilled water and that helps keep mold away!

I add a few drops of rubbing alcohol to my mister before closing acrylic, watercolor, or gouache boxes... have never had a mold problem even after months, and I live in SW Florida! Enjoyed this, Jared. Thanks Art Toolkit!

What a happy surprise for today.

What a delightful interview! Thank you ladies.

Purchased and received my Triad!!! I love it! Great addition to my supplies

Very Nice!!!
