😂😂😂 I was tempted…..but I resisted and did not go straight to the end, because I remembered that You Tube penalises the content provider so it doesn’t help Ellen . I think it’s something to do with the algorithm seeing how many minutes that we have been actually watching . 🧐🧐😳😳🙄🙄🤪🤪
love a bit of abstract. I usually paint in fine detail. But when I do "abstract" I feel so free and use it like a break from my "usual". Thanks for sharing this.
I have been using a glass dip pen as well with my watercolors, they work really well even with cream consistency watercolor/water ratio. I love the regularity of the lines and how long it takes before it runs out of ink/paint. Remember to turn the pen instead of dipping because each groove acts as a reservoir and they don’t touch the paper all at the same time. This is particularly useful before wiping it off since you will waste ink or paint still remaining in the other grooves. I love using palettes with the small slanted wells for using the dip pen with watercolor, makes it easier to fill it back up by rolling the grooves in the well.
@SorciereSylvestre I use my glass dip pen the same way you do. I prefer watercolour over ink because I can vary the colours and give the effect of highlights and shadowed areas as well as outlines.
You don’t need to keep dipping. You can fill a whole page with one dip. Also glass on glass will break easily and I think your pen will be safer if you pour your ink into a plastic bottle. That little tip will break pretty easily. Thank you for the tutorial😊
In case u r unfamiliar, I recommend the Kakimori Steel and its cousin the Brass bullet nibs. In contrast to a glass pen, they hold enough ink on one dip to last a paragraph instead of a word or two. And while if you hold it more upright, a very thin line, but if you hold it more parallel to the paper, a VERY thick line of ink. Really quite impressive the variety. Thanks as always for your helpful & detailed post!
Beautiful!! You may want to use a secondary container to put the ink bottle in as it is susceptible of tipping over while the pen is dipped and that'd make a huge mess
Like when I read a magazine back to front, I did this with this tutorial. Couldn't wait to see what your new pen was. Then back to the beginning , what a great pen. I would love to have one🎉❤. Good work Ellen!
Also there are tons of them on Amazon,from expensive to not so much,Alot of my pens are from Spain and Italy, and they all work basically alike, it is more getting used To using it.
So beautiful. I love leaves! There must be something wonderful to do with my hundreds of giant maple leaves - 12"across? Also love your pen and know a fountain pen if any kind can change your life. I had a Rotring and carried it around 16 years. Now lost it. So sad. But after going thru all nooks and crannies of my too-full house with no luck I got a new one that came in lovely wood box. Not the same but glad to see your ideas for what can be done around leaf paintings. By the way, some of best fall leaves can be found in western Washington state. Can't wait to hear about your next trip to Any Place in Europe. please be extensive in description 😅❤
I’ve been playing with one for a while & I’m amazed how long I can sketch without dipping. Also l learned if you use a pen with straight channels instead of spiral you can apply masking fluid and use watercolors by brushing onto nib. Works great! Wonderful for fine details. I bought one so now have two. They are so pretty too and not expensive…warning….use pen stand or lay on something so it doesn’t roll off…ask me how I know😢
I have a couple glass pens, not a fan, but they didn't come from Venice! What I love about your paintings is that you layer the colors over and they just work. Maybe because you then use an outline or liner. I did buy a Lamy fountain pen with carbon black waterproof ink and it's great! I'll try this as soon as the video is over, need done self inspiration.
If you like an easily variable line width, you might try a Fude style fountain pen. It has a bent nib, and so the line width varies with the angle of the pen to the paper when making a stroke. There are several brands that make them.
I do have a glass pen from Venice, but yours is a much finer point-very nice! Mine isn't too reliable. The pens that produce varied line widths are vintage dip and fountain pens with flexible nibs! They continued making them in Europe until about 1950 and I've found some good ones at antique stores (as well as at pen shows and from online dealers).
Thank you! Love your videos. I found a few glass pens at Dollar Tree a year or so ago. I also have a few I purchased from an art supply store that are fancier. I’ll have to get them back out now. So fun!
I have 3 glass pens and find them so much fun to use both with ink and Watercolour paints. I am just in the middle of doing something very similar and hadn't thought about using the pens, I will be now lol. Inspirational video of a beautiful painting.
Thanks greatly Ellen for sharing again your inspiration and talent, you always make it look easy but it's good to watch you making it relaxed and fun. Greatly appreciate Ellen stay safe and healthy 🙏👍
Amazing fun tutorial. I can’t wait to try it out. Super colours, textures and tips. I shall definitely try out the dip pen. You are so inspiring. Thank you.
I have one and love it as well. You don’t have to dip it as much though. Just turn it a little. I can do a whole page of writing with one dip. Whoops I see someone else already told you this.
Beautiful pen Ellen, I am soo envious!! Although being made of glass it could be quite fragile? It draws lovely fine lines! I love the video , good fun.
I just bought myself a glass dip pen off Amazon. I haven’t tried it yet but I definitely will do now when I try this Autumnal painting. Which, by the way, is gorgeous. 😊
I recommend transferring some ink into a plastic container for use with a glass dip pen. At some point the pen will accidentally come in contact with the bottle and glass on glass can end with a chipped pen which basically renders it unusable 😮
Shopping list,must get a glass pen!! that is a beautiful painting Ellen and I love the pen.Thank you for sharing with us and I also enjoyed the glazing technique xx
This was so much fun. Thank you so much. I wish I could have shared my painting to show you. What a great way to celebrate Fall. I so enjoy your tutorials and painting with you has been so good for my spirit. Thank you so much.
I also have a glass handmade pen 🖊️ from Venice mine is a mixture of red yellow and blue it is gorgeous now you’ve given me a reason to use it ….Thank you Ellen for making time for Us all
I bought a glass pen last year and enjoyed using it until the tip broke off. Bummer. But I bought another dip pen: Brause pen nib and Tachikawa pen nib holder (wood). I doubt it will break. Always love your tutorials! Thank you.
Beautiful painting Ellen!!! Love the composition... but wouldn't trust myself with the beautiful glass pen! I am beginning to paint again as a newbie (kinda) after a year off. I just have to remember your mantra... Have Fun!!!❤ Thank you from a California Gramma 😊
Well Ellen, I do have a glass pen from Venice and I love it. Your slashes and splatters are so fun and give the most beautiful backgrounds!!!. I love this video and giving it a go!!.♥️
What a FUN tutorial, Ellen!! And your new pen i really cool. I am recovering from surgery last Friday. I think I can handle doing this tutorial this week. Something to play with.
I’ve got some glass pens, but prefer my Kuretake real brush pen (#30) because I can vary the thickness of the lines and actually “paint” with them. Did you use black, brown or walnut ink? I have a bunch of colors, but have walnut on my list to buy next
Okay who else jumped ahead to see what was in the box then scrolled back to watch? lol
😂😂😂

Fun, I was using mine just last night, with Kuretake gold, on an abstract painting because my brain is tired. Love the fun painting, Ellen!

How many of you pen nerds fast forwarded the video to see what pen it is? 🤪😝😂

@@ellencrimitrentIt is true you get penalised should the viewer skip through a tutorial ? 😮

Thanks so much - I’ve had a glass dip pen for a few years and I love it- blobs and skips and all!
Wonderful!
I got one from Amazon several years ago. They are fun to use. I have just used watercolor to sign my art.
Nice 😊
Beautiful! Amazon has glass pens although not in pretty boxes.
Beautiful!!

I bought a glass pen and ink on Amazon. I haven't tried it yet but this just motivated me. Love the leaves!
Wonderful!
You can get that here. I have one I bought off Amazon. Works great for signing your paintings and fine lines in painting.
Good to know!
I have one and love it as well. You don’t have to dip it as much though. Just turn it a little. I can do a whole page of writing with one dip. Whoops I see someone else already told you this.

I bought a glass pen last year and enjoyed using it until the tip broke off. Bummer. But I bought another dip pen: Brause pen nib and Tachikawa pen nib holder (wood). I doubt it will break. Always love your tutorials! Thank you.
Sorry to hear that
I love this. I have been looking at glass pens on good old Amazon.

It's great when you 'draw' well
Will you please share what kind of tape you like. Thanks
Just found the tape AND you mentioned it in the tutorial.
Love love the way you teach and share!!!
Magic by Scott’s
Thank you for the fun tutorial!
Thanks. I loved this tutorial!

I ordered a set of five of these from Amazon about a year ago. They were quite inexpensive.
Yay 😀
What a FUN tutorial, Ellen!! And your new pen i really cool. I am recovering from surgery last Friday. I think I can handle doing this tutorial this week. Something to play with.
Feel better ❤️🩹
I bought mine a few yrs ago, but really haven't used it much
Amazing work!
Thank you! Cheers!
I have a few of these beautiful glass pens and I love them
I live in the PNW...we get a very similar fall to the NorEast. Gorgeous right now.
Fun painting! I am wondering how you store your tube paints, by brand or by color?
Store them? They are just on my desk 🤣
Autumn 🍂 is my favorite season
Love it!
Oh those colours 💚
Would it be possible to provide a link to the ink you used? What color. Black, brown, walnut, sepia? This tutorial is so inspirational. Thank you. 😊
Noodlers ink there is one in my shop in description
Ellen..I saw a pen from Venice named Bortoletti..on Etsy
Awesome
Drlightful, I have 2 glass pens I've never used, think I will now and maybe some metallic paint dabbles!
Love it! I want one!!
You should!
I had a glass ink pen and bumped the tip and broke a tiny bit off, so sad as it would not work after that.
Treat it very gently.
Coool pen. Nice painting ❤
Awesome.... LOVE your channel....
I’ve got some glass pens, but prefer my Kuretake real brush pen (#30) because I can vary the thickness of the lines and actually “paint” with them.
Did you use black, brown or walnut ink? I have a bunch of colors, but have walnut on my list to buy next
Blk ink!
O the beautiful wallpaper!!!!
Beautiful ❤Ellen
Thank you so much!
FYI Jerry’s Art store has glass pens for about 17 dollars!
Thx ☺️
I forgot to mention how much I enjoy your videos. They are a great inspiration and help!@@ellencrimitrent
Great painting🎨🎨🎨
