Changing color is easier if you don’t ink up the pen cartridge or converter, but use it like a dip pen (they hold a surprising amount of ink in the nib). Great video, lots of new angles to think about. Thanks!
found you through shorts and was pleasantly surprised to see a longer form vid on my feed :) love this experimental vibe, and just comparing materials in general. looking forward to more!
This reminds me of the line of coloring books called Magic Painting Books. They have the traditional black outlines, but there's also water soluble color printed on, that you activate with a paintbrush and clear water.
@@dannydrwing I think I'm actually remembering a much simpler version than I'm seeing online. It had lines of color printed beside the classic coloring book lines, and the resulting paint was pretty weak. But the new versions look pretty great, from the online photos.
Using a dip pen instead of a fountain pen to frequently swap inks would probably be much more efficient with the least amount of waste and contamination
Adding this skill to the list of things I wish I could do 😂 great job! It’s insane seeing you draw/paint a perfect nose as easily as I would drive to work lol
I'm for sure one of those subscribers 😂 cuz I'm just starting and I love watercolours. Your tips are a Great help, thanks a lot! I know I'm learning from a really amazing artist ( just look at how those drawings looked 👏).
This was going to be my question, too - I’ve been hoping for more longform content from you ever since the gorgeous colorful sky and clouds painting you did in the short talking about sizing, which I would definitely have bought a tutorial to learn how to paint, sizing issues and all. So I vote yes on your general question from this video, and also think Skillshare would be foolish not to pay you for a tutorial on that gorgeous clouds piece, if you wanted to make one. :) Truly, though - I have just started to get into fountain pens (and hopefully a dip pen soon) myself, and would love to see more longform content from you on those, on watercolors, on your color theory stuff (I could see a Skillshare class on fruit that starts out the “wrong” colors doing well, too), or whatever else you get into. Different media, subjects, styles… Honestly, your interests and approach remind me of my own, just way more advanced, and I can’t imagine that whatever you decided to make wouldn’t be interesting and educational, wherever your process might take you at any given time. Here, on Skillshare, or wherever. Just make sure to let us know so we don’t miss it. :)
Hm I take a lot of my own pictures and scroll through my camera roll, but also Pinterest is a great option (obviously not for selling artwork, just for practice)
👍🏻 Beautiful to watch. And inspiring .. although i don't have any talent myself, to plug the inspiration into. I'll just settle for watching in awe. Thanks for sharing!
He did oooone non-watercolor video. Come on now. Besides, this honestly had a lot of overlap with watercolor technique, and made me want to consider ink and wash techniques more seriously in a way I wouldn’t have otherwise. I’m not affiliated with him or the channel at all (nor does he even know who I am), but as someone who was a professional working in the arts for a long time, I know what hard work it is, and every subscription helps a lot more than staying subscribed a little longer to see if the content might be worth your while hurts you, you know?

I have a converter not using it like a dip pen is a great idea!! Thank you!!

Glad you liked it! And glad you liked the longer form stuff! :)
Check out Birmingham Pens for great ink colors and pens. They have sales that makes them affordable. I like how you teach.
Definitely , a real artist can create a masterpiece from nothing ✨ .
Truth
Very true

Oh woah, that sounds awesome

Really cool idea nonetheless!
Santa left me one every year as a child, I felt like a creative genius!:)

Yes! I’ve since seen that a dip pen is way better for this. Might have to try it at some point.
I've been using speedball ink for ink wash it's really easy to do lanscapes with.
Oh nice!
Nooo don't throw ur paint 😢
I'm a changed person
Exploring new territory ig 😂😢
Lol. That's what i like about watercolor; it does the work for you. 🎉 Non waterproof ink is very cool though. Can make impressive skies.
True, super fun!
You’ve inspired me to experiment a bit more with my inks….thanks 😊
Have fun!
Adding this skill to the list of things I wish I could do 😂 great job! It’s insane seeing you draw/paint a perfect nose as easily as I would drive to work lol
Definitely takes practice 😂

Thanks for subbing! Glad you’re liking the videos! :)
Keep up the good work dude!
I use less than 16 colors in total and for most paintings it's much more limited. If you're getting like 48 color sets that's wayyyy too much.
Is this water or alcohol based ink? I've seen multicolored water based inkwells in craft stores
I’m almost positive that it’s water based
@@dannydrwing thanks
It reminds me of watercolor pencils, you even tried those? :) Watercolor graphite pencils do also excist.
I’m already a subscriber to Skillshare, but I couldn’t find you listed on it. Are you listed under a different name?
I don’t have any courses on skillshare, they just sponsored this video!
Thank you for the answer. 👍🏻@@dannydrwing

Hey! Quick question. Where do you reccomend to find refrences for painting landscapes, nature, etc?
