- Another soluble ink sketch on Cold Press paper. The advantage of the cold press paper is a finer line and the lines stay more crisp when blended with water.

PAPER: Size- 5"x7"
Arches 1401b Cold Press Paper for this Video.
My papers of choice include Arches 140lb Hot press and Cold press paper and Strathmore 500 series Sketchbooks. All are 100% cotton rag.
For beginners, I recommend starting with a high quality paper and experimenting with different types. As your style develops, you'll get a feel for which type is best. Waiting to switch to a better quality paper later will be much like learning to paint all over again.
PEN: Lamy Safari with extra fine nib
INK: Higgins Fountain India
BRUSH: Sakura Water Brush
REFERENCE IDEAS: come from my imagination/memory, my own photos or by painting on location.
I rarely draw what I see. I tend to draw what I wanted to see. If I use a reference photo, I prefer to look at it on my phone screen, nothing bigger. I'm not looking for a scene to paint, I'm looking for an idea to paint. Once I begin drawing I'll go for several minutes before I check the reference. Sometimes, once I've stared, I never refer to the reference again.
I am currently unable to overlay an image of the reference photo as I don't have the proper software. As well, I haven't room on my current set up to simply display a photo on the work surface. I do hope to remedy this in the future.
Thank you for watching!
Wow! Simply incredible how you're able to draw your images in correct perspectives without first sketching in pencil, Peter. Your hand must be well coordinated with your mind, is all I can think of.
Very kind words. Greatly appreciated. Peter :)
love the drama your imagination brings to a simple study drawing....black and white, shadow and light and the perspective of the sketch adds to it too. Love this. :-)
Love the spontaneity and freshness of water/colour application and your expressive, free lines! You work is an inspiration to me (newbie watercolourist) and you are most gracious to share the process. I have also been watching your other videos and work along with them. Thanks so much!!
Thank you very much. Hearing that makes this all worthwhile for me :) Peter
Positive nostalgic mood looking at this lovely b&w work. Thank you.
You're welcome. Thank you. Peter
Beautfiul, I just copied along and it looked passable. Love pen with wash. So convenient for traveling and diary. Thanks a bunch!
I love your soluble ink wash sketches!
Thank you very much Serena. I'm getting hooked on them too. Peter
You seem very comfortable with the Lamy now! Very nice.
Hi Dave. I do like the feel of the Lamy. I've got new fountain pen I'll be testing soon. It hold a large amount of ink and is not expensive.
I've learned so much from your channel thankyou so very much! I've been wanting to get a fountain pen for sketching for awhile I do paint with watercolours already but I need to change it up a bit... thanks again
Heather
Eerie...great work work and easy to follow along!! Thanks. Mine doesn't look like yours but that is the idea of art. I don't have a fountain pen yet but my micron did the initial trick with several dabs of a mixed grey and some soft splashes of yellow faded into the greys watercolour paints.
Hi Greg. Sounds like a nice technique. Thanks
Spectacular! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you very much Joani. Peter
¡Impresionante el segundo video! La técnica de la tinta soluble al agua! Gracias por mostrarnos su técnica ... y su talento.
Muchas gracias y eres muy bienvenido :)
Bom! A imagem ganhou um certo estilo, ótimo para ilustrar certos livros.
Muito obrigado. Peter
Great job! Thank you. Peter!
Thank you very much :)
🇬🇧 Another great picture , thanks
Thank you Dennis :)
Black and white, shadow and light and all the drama this brings along with the depth of perspective - fabulous - reminds me of a back street in Bruges in Belgium. Can you recommend a 'starter' pen and ink for this method. :-)
Thanks Mogsy. Any fountain or art pen with non-waterproof based ink should work. Lamys are about the best value for the price.
Very inspiring! I've been curious about this technique. This video was perfect.
As beautiful as always :)
In awe of your abilities !!
Thank you very much April :)
I like, but I like more when and colorful,thank you
Thanks Nill :)
I really loved this video, its just what I have been looking for. I have two Lamy safari that I love writing with. I allways carry them with me. But I never tried drawing with them. This beautiful video made me want to start drawing with my loved Safaris. I will buy the inkconverter and try the ink you used. Is this Higgins ink the one You recommend for theese types of drawingtechnics or is there allso other inks worth trying out? Its a beautiful drawing You made and it makes me both want to start travel and draw at the same time. I will watch all Your videos. Thanks. /Noa
Thank you Noa. Higgins is a good choice because it can blended but is archival.
I meant to ask, do you stretch your paper?
Hi Richard. I never stretch. Even with a full sheet I just live with the wrinkles.
Very nice, my favorite point was 10:04 exactly. I would have stopped there but that’s like the difference between John Romita and Todd McFarlane. ; )
I agree! I went too far.
@@PeterSheelerart I disagree! The rest of it really wound up bringing out the sunlight cutting across the street, which I really liked.
I've learned so much from your channel thankyou so very much! I've been wanting to get a fountain pen for sketching for awhile I do paint with watercolours already but I need to change it up a bit... thanks again

Thanks Heather. I think as painters we never get enough time to enjoy drawing. Peter
Now I am very confused. I thought India ink wasn't to be used in fountain pens, only dip nib, due to the heavy pigment sediment clogging up the feed?
I love your style. This is so moving.
So glad you enjoyed this one. Thanks for watching. Peter :)
I love these soluble ink sketches! I will be trying this out. Thanks for sharing.
I'm really enjoying them myself. Glad you do as well. Peter
Bonne ruelle
Is you ever feel useless, remember that this transparent Lamy Safari has an ink window.
By the way, this is a very beautiful sketch. Well done.
Yours turned out really nice unlike mine. LOL. I went 5x7 and with a cheap pilot pen since it's all I have. Not enough ink and because it was larger I needed to put more details in and I didn't. First time with ink so I can't complain. Thanks for the demo!
Thanks Bethany. A good pen helps :)
wow it's mesmerizing
Thank you. Great to hear :)
I'm enjoying these ink washes. They help me with my sketching and I don't have to think about the colors ( lol ). Thank you for listing the paper size and type.. along with all the supplies you are using.
Hi Patrick. Your suggestion was a good one. Thanks :)
That Higgins Ink seems to perform really well, soluble enough to wash in some tonal values but not enough to destroy the line work, I like that. I wonder if you could add sparing amounts of spot watercolour over the top once the ink wash has dried?
Hi Peter. Yes you can. Gives a very unique look.
amazing :)
Wish I had your talent. Was this drawn on site? Wish I could have seen the actual alley. Beautifully done.
Thanks. I just made this up as I painted
so so pretty!
Thank you so much :)
Bello, bellísimo. Thanks.
Thanks Pablo. Peter
müthiş...
