Painting with acrylic inks and watercolours and my artist process.

Painting with acrylic inks and watercolours and my artist process. In this video, I revisit some works in progress, and show a little about how I "finish" some paintings. I teach part of one of my favourite techniques with acrylic inks in a reductionistic method of sorts. I use both watercolour and bristol (for acrylics) 140 lb paper, and also talk about my love of "toned" papers by Strathmore.
I use several different brands of watercolour/mixed media paper - Artist Loft(Michael's in house brand) 140 lb watercolour paper, Strathmore and Canson XL 140 lb paper, and Arches Cold Press paper on a block (12 x16”).
Bristol paper by Strathmore is great for acrylic paints.
I love Neo colour Caran D’ache wax (1’s) and water-soluble (ii’s ) crayons
Paint pens I use:
Posca
Sharpie water-based medium paint pen
Metallic ballpoint pens:
Uniball-signo pens

I like Master's brush cleaner for more soiled brushes.
