Really enjoy all your reviews, you give solid advice, and do a great job discussing the pros and cons of using specific art materials. You're my favorite TH-cam guide. I recently picked up the 12-color set of these, for $27.00 on Amazon, the packaging was damaged, but the markers are fine, and work great. The watercolor markers are quite handy getting ideas down in the sketchbook, and as you stated, really nice medium for ink-line washes. With all the cuts to the Arts and Music programs throughout the US, I'm thankful that there are good people here on the internet, who enjoy and promote art. We need Art in our lives, it's important to create art.
Finally a properly instructive video on how to use these markers. A shame I came to it seven years after it was posted. I have a 40 year graphic design career behind me and in those early years I used professional markers (Magic Markers and Letraset Pantone) to produce highly finished client visuals. Fast forward to now and I'm producing watercolour prints through my Etsy shop using W&N traditional watercolour paints. Then I thought how much less hassle it would be to make plein air studies for the finished paintings with the convenience of markers. I will always use paint in the studio. I don't know why this connection had eluded me for so many years! My approach is probably to use palleting for those background washes with a brush but the dedicated paper seems a really good match. I already have a few of the markers in primaries for mixing. The W&N paper will be the next purchase. Many thanks!
Check out the video I did on Faber Castell Albrecht Dürer WC Markers. A couple other techniques you might be able to use. th-cam.com/video/7o1qT0lAv8E/w-d-xo.html
@@mindofwatercolor I already have. Many thanks.
Goodness you have blown my mind again. Never even thought to add any water to the markers for shading and blending. Wow, Wow, Wow! Gorgeous, rich pops of color. Thanks for sharing this with us.
I really liked this cardinal. Thanks for making the tutorials and, as usual, I appreciate the Bible verse at the end.
+M. E. Stephens 👍
I too enjoy the tutorial and bible verse thankyou :)
Hi. There are a wide number of mediums available today for water colourists and the advertisers make them desirable. Point being that you can spend money on products which don't get fully utilised. This video,and others you have made show some of the great possibilities open to their usage, so thank you for you're thoughtful and thought provoking videos.
Graham Heywood Thanks! You've pointed out a main reason I do reviews. Getting the most from their supplies. Also, not every art material is for EVERY artist. Informed buying decisions are always better. I'm just as happy for someone to learn through my videos what NOT to buy.
It was great to see you really testing ( pushing as you say) this unfamiliar medium. I was amazed that you could use so many standard/ typical watercolour techniques. You also provided a very honest final summary of the product and the possibilites and limitations of it. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
Leaving up references is good for the observer to understand where you are referencing from. Thanks and I love this technique
Thank you for your video. I am a watercolour artist, but have never used watercolour markers. I think they could be really good for traveling. I appreciated watching your all-on-paper technique and your "overworking" it. Both were a very helpful demonstration of what I've been thinking about.
I just purchased a kit of these, so thank you for a much needed demonstration of this markers... And Amen to the last few seconds of your video.
: )
If only I could come close to this... I'd be happy drawing the branch!
I made a mistakes when I went to buy some alcohol based markers and picked one of these without noticing. At home I tried it and now I want to know more on how to use them. So, thank you so much for these videos
Hi, Steve -- I have tried watercolor in the past (LONG before there was such a thing as You Tube) and got so frustrated because I didn't know what I was doing. I put everything away and let it age like the finest wine. Well, now that I have found your You Tube channel and a few others, I am ready to drink deeply from that wine! I always said I needed someone to show me how, but I live in a rural area and could never get to a watercolor class. Besides, I like a certain style, and one never knows exactly what a particular instructor's style is going to be.
Thank the Lord for You Tube! I can see how things are done and I am enjoying playing with watercolors again. I am about to sign up for an online class with Anna Mason--just waiting for the free one to show up so I can be sure that it's for me.
I found your channel just today and am enjoying it immensely. I really like your style and I LOVE the Bible verses at the end!
Thanks for the encouraging words!
Nice one Steve! And to think you like Star Wars and drafting pencils as well. I have used those draftmatic pencils since back in my undergrad days in engineering school. I love those things. I broke down and bought a Rotring 600, another fine pencil if you ever have 30 bucks burning a hole in your pocket haha. You have about convinced me to go get some of these markers. My son especially, he is 8, and says he thinks they'd be a good addition to "our" art supplies. Thanks for your videos as always. I do enjoy and look forward to them!
Hi sadly I think I have watched all your shows they're the best, you're ability to blend speeded up normal speed, voice instructions, no one else seems to have managed this. What a bird does that really fly around your neighbourhood? Thanks keep them coming.
+Big C Thanks so much for the encouragement!
I just discovered your terrific videos and although I'm out of my league on here, because I'm not a true artist, I've learned a lot so far. Please don't cringe when I say that I'm a long time card maker, stamper who loves to watercolor. We who cannot draw, do what we can in order to enjoy the art world.
+Del B I won't cringe at all. I hoped this channel would be a help for anyone who dips their brush into watercolor from time to time.
Fun! I have never tried these. I have just recently have gotten into watercolors and the watercolor pencils. I am loving it, thanks for sharing!
Robin Hoffman You bet, thanks for watching!
The color in this piece is phenomenal!
Saul Del Valle Thank you very much!
I really liked the cardinal painting. However I like the cardinal done in the watercolors. The cardinal is my favorite bird. Dana ,
@Adam- I love my Rapidoliner. Its a .3mm. With H lead in it I can put down a very light drawing on my watercolor paper. A nice sketching pencil too. Never need to sharpen. As for Star Wars, thats just a given in life no matter what the circumstance. :-)
I love your paintings with birds, really love all your paints. I just love watching you paint birds. I've so much from you, thanks. At my gift shop, which is an old house that's been redone on the inside for a gift shop. There was a kitchen in of, obviously, but all is gone except the kitchen sink & counters, anyway above the sink is a lovely double window & a pretty good size tree there. We have a very young red cardinal that is constantly hitting the window. He goes from the tree hits the window back to the tree, over & over. I put a large fake cardinal in the window the 2 of them. Just made it worse. (I do floral arrangements & use the birds for the arrangements) He's now been doing that for over 2 years. I was afraid he'd get some kind of concussion doing it because he really hit that window hard. I did get some pictures of him but he just to fast. I know he thinks there's another cardinal there from his reflection but I can't cover up the window I need the light. Now it's been 3 yrs & he still doing it. Silly bird❣️ I just thought you'd enjoy that story. Sorry it's so long. I wish you'd do a pair, male & female Cardinal. They are so beautiful. Thank you for all the great tutorials you share!
I get bird strikes on our front living room window frequently and its often a cardinal. Not sure why them and not other birds. Maybe because they're large and aren't as agile. Small birds rarely hit the window. Had a cardinal unconscious on the front porch for almost a half hour once. I though it was going to die. We have a bird feeder 20 feet from the front porch. Farther than what they recommend for minimum distance. Difficult to figure out what to do. We also get a great crested flycatcher every spring that attacks its reflection in an upper story window. Very funny, and annoying.
The Mind of Watercolor It is funny but I feel bad they do it. You would think it would give them some brain damage. Silly birds! They are a wonderful bird to watch in the gloom of winter, or when snow is on the ground... I'm happy to hear I'm not got the only crazy cardinal that wants to fight his reflection 😜😀
thanks,you are an artist which can teach and honest, thank you
Fara Abbasian Thanks you!
Another great video! I've watched a lot of videos on watercolor technique and I think yours really are the best I've come across. I particularly appreciate the fact that you do lots of studies rather than full paintings as it allows me to see your full process. Really helpful and much less intimidating for newbies like me. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge and experience
Judy Mason Thanks for the kind words Judy. Studies are so important. The best way to learn. Look through a book of Rembrandt's work and the first thing you'll notice are how many studies he did. Tons!
I love your birds, not sure If I like markers......ill have to try them and see. Thanks for a great video as always
Haven't tried the watercolor markers but do love the pencils. Thanks for testing them out for us. Not sure if I will invest in them. Cute painting when done. tfs
I find your videos are really mixed well with instruction, music and your technique with the medium....I would have to say the watercolor markers look a bit too intense for me. However, you seemed to have "nailed it" again! Thanks, I also enjoyed the bible quote!!
+Debbie Gilbert Thanks. The markers do take a bit of getting used to.
fairly new to watercolour paint,s never heard of markers, just recently started useing pencils, but fancy the idea of trying these markers, really enjoying your demo,s keep it up
Alan Young The markers are a bit of a different animal for sure. Fun to try. Thanks!
I'm thinking getting those, so cool!!!!!!
Thanks so much for painting with these markers. I have been wanting them for awhile but wasn’t sure what to do with them.
I'm thinking of getting either these or the Letraset Aquamarkers. Beautiful cardinal painting. Thank you for your videos. I've been learning so much from them.
+Julie Nielsen Glad to hear it!
Friggin AWESOME Steve. I found I didn't have to use very much at all, as the pigments in these are super strong. Great tutorial as always my friend. Love the Cardinal. - Marty
+Owings Art Right you are Marty. It goes along way. Thanks man!
superb video on the watercolor markers. I appreciate your time and effort in explaining this!
👍
Wow!! I am a beginner... Love Cardinals.... this is beautiful !
👍
Beautiful!!!! xo
Beautiful!
just doing study on painting birds~ glad i bump in to your awesome tutorial videos^^
+marksvid348 Thanks for watching!
I have difficulity using mthe rigjht tool, technique when detailingt, especially finding toolos for white and black - adding white hights and using negative art - toos for white and black are not obvious in sets as white and black are missing from kits - I consider using acrylic overlayeringl but I feel that is not the BEST approach, yes?
Use whatever works. Acrylic could work in the right circumstances.
i love your videos so much!! im so glad i found them.
i use W/N tube artist paints but i was able to try a pen like that but found it so hard, i think i prefer a plalete so much more.
you make it look so easy hahah i cant wait to have as much experience as you do.
god bless
Melissa Vella Thanks Melissa! Markers can be challenging. Use what you're most comfortable with.
Great video Steve, I must have a go at the cardinal myself. Love your work.
+Joanne Kearsley Go for it!
I recall advise that one needs to prioritize equipment before strarting: paper, brushes then last, brushes - can you expand
Not sure what you mean exactly but if I'm guessing you're referring to quality. It has been said that you should prioritize the quality of your supplies and what you spend your money on. Paper is the most important so get the best which is 100% cotton paper. It's the most important for getting good results. Paint is second, get the best you can afford. Fewer colors of higher quality are much preferred over lots of colors of lower quality. Brushes can be the lowest priority for quality. There are many watercolor rated brushes that are inexpensive and will suffice very well.
Awesome Tutorial
👍
just WoW....
Thank you very much for the WN Marker video I enjoyed it and found it informative. I hope you do more video on using the markers.
d phil Thanks, glad you found it a help.
Hey there, I hope you will read this, I got them too and I found something out. You can do some coloring on the cab of the box of the pens, and then take that with some water and even mix it in there! (sorry for my bad english)
Isabelle van bolhuis Yes, you can palette them quite nicely, either on the lid as you said or with a standard palette.
Hi Steve. I have never used markers or watercolor pencils but I’m looking to explore and I keep coming back to these beautiful markers. I would want them to do loose, expressive portraits. I love to layer with my watercolors and haven’t ever tried markers or watercolor pencils. Could you let me know what you think about this? Thank you and love your bird.
Sounds great, just experiment with it and see what you think.
I love your bird work! And the demos of all these different paints, pencils, etc., is fascinating; thanks for sharing.
(But I wish people wouldn't stick religion at the end of their posts. 'nuff said.)
+carmium Thanks for watching. As for the end. I'm sure you know where the back or the stop button is. You aren't required to watch any of it.
+The Mind of Watercolor I think it's really awesome how you put a bible verse at the end, like you said they don't have to watch it. very helpful video, can't wait to get some of those markers and try them out!
I think it would be awesome if an atheist saying about common sense was posted at the end, but neither has anything to do with watercolor. But I would really prefer that people not proselytize either way when we're dealing with something totally unrelated.
It doesn't keep me from enjoying these excellent presentations, and I don't bother reading things that irk me.
I didn't engage you on this originally but now I will. Posting a verse from the Bible is not proselytizing. I think you should look up the meaning of the word. This is my channel and my content. I don't charge a dime for any of it. The ads are far more intrusive than any verse I post which comes at the end and interrupts nobody. Your original comment, not to mention your follow up, is just so totally unnecessary and feels like its meant to start a debate (which it won't, not here).
Pardon me; I clicked on Sara Dixon for the reply as a copy came to my mail box, but it looks like it just went to you. It wasn't my intention to start a debate with you of all people; I should have noted that the comment was directed at you and copied to me! Anyway, that's why I said "'nuff said" and you said I can click the stop button! I was fine with that. All I want to do is enjoy your excellent channel, and I apologize that my reply to Sara came off as a second stab at the issue.
my fav' bird :3 awsome technique
+marine le brun Thanks!
+The Mind of Watercolor I have just a little question :) When you have put the first color on the cardinal then mixted it with water, have you waited a bit before putting the second color or have you put it when water was still wet ? *I'm sorry if it isn't clear, it's a bit hard to explain^^"*
wow... I'd like to try watercolour markers. I have some difficulties to understand English without subs, but it's so nice to watch to your videos. =D
+s101g 👍
Hi Steve, awesome video! I would love to see how you'd approach a landscape sketch with these markers. I got a few of them and I'm struggling to get good results.
Thank's for the great videos.
+Daniel Carneiro I do have plans to do exactly that. Stay tuned.
I like your presentation so much, v inspiring. Thanks dear
👍
NICE, these would be nice to take on a trip with less fuss and for the new artist colouring books out for adults by Pepin press which hold up to light moisture. Thank you for showing how to better use them. Oh, that Reese is such a helpful guy.
dann wiester Yes, they are great for line and wash coloring. Yep, Reese has his uses. Thanks Dann!
super helpful thank you very much!
👍
Awesome
thank you for sharing this! I hope you have more using these lovely watercolour sticks from Windsor. I'm a newbie to watercolour, but my frustration is the prep work and mess that painting with the tubes requires... maybe it's my love for pencils, but I find the whole set up so tedious... especially compared to water colour markers. This seems like a happy medium medium. :D Again, thanks for sharing. It's absolutely beautiful. I wish you oodles of success with your channel. :)
+FunkyLittleWhiteGirl These may be the answer for you. Give em a try. Thanks for the well wishes!
wow hermoso!
👍
Thanks for the information!
+Mary McCaslin 👍
I had a question about the marker tips. I am watching you apply the different colors directly on top of one another. Have you noticed any bleed back onto the marker tips or were you waiting for the paper to be completely dry between color applications? Is there color mixing on the tip of the markers?
Ahnriel Mann In the video I was applying additional colors to a dried surface. But I've also done it wet. On wet color it will bleed back into the tip a little but its not severe. In my experience with them so far, painting out a few strokes on scrap paper will bring back the full original color.
thank you
I womder how brigjt a watercolor pencil will do with the marker? Then the color pencils for soft areas. I gotta try that
I really gotta try my pitt markers with color pencils . That would be cool.
thanks for the reminder. Yes we all know i cant type.
I noticed that on the background it left streaks from the marker when it was first applied. I don't know if it would be appropriate for large areas like backgrounds.
+Joanna Skor Probably not for a finished painting. This was more of a journal sketch and trial. Still I don't mind the strokes showing a little. For a watercolor sketchbook it adds an expressive touch.
Thanks for the demo. I often have problems painting the birds "flat chest", not able to show the roundness of the body.
+Po Chu Fung 👍
Wow! This is amazing.. I would love to start using water-colour instead of acrylic, what would you recommend. Thanks a lot great video!
Interesting! I've not tried them
Hey Steve, could you do a mini on ways to pallette and mix watercolor markers? I seriously love these for watercolor bird sketching!
artgone country They would be great for birds. I'm sure at some point I will demo using these markers off the palette a bit. Pretty simple really. If you watch my Winsor Newton marker review video you can see a very quick demo of how I would do it.
I watched this when it was first posted and I came back to watch it again. Do you use water color markers on a somewhat regular bases? Du You like the albert Durer watercolor marker better or are about the same? Blick has a sale on the markers right now. Oh also I went back and with the few markers I got several years ago started to play with them it getting great rewetting and results (except for mid blue) on Legion 100% cotton multi media paper and hot press wc paper.--just sharing
I confess I don't use them regularly. Just habit mostly and forgetting to pull them out. I like both brands but probably the Albrecht Dürers just a bit more.
thamk you for your reply
I looked up watercolour markers form W&N since you interested me. There are W&N pigment markers, or their pro markers and also blending markers.; which exactly were you using?
Watercolor. Their other pigment markers are permanent and solvent based.
Beutyfull draw Smith 😄😄
That was great! I love your demos... & the soft music too is just right! ... one question with the watercolour markers... can they be refilled?
Officially no, W&N doesn't offer any refill color. Unofficially, I think some people have tried it with mixed success. The tips do come off and there is a sort of sponge reservoir. You'll need a liquid based, concentrated watercolor and eyedropper to refill it with. Something like Dr. Martins Hydrus. I can't personally attest to the success of it, but theoretically it seems possible.
Oh ok... thank you so much for tha valuable inputs
Can you list the colors used in your description above please?
Hi im soon gettig theese markers looks intresting i ve have only used alcobased ones but these waterbased markers seems fun would be so awesome if you could show some more videos of you using them ^_^
👍
I really enjoyed the video, thanks! What kind of pencil were you holding in the beginning?
ian chio Its a Kohinoor Rapidoliner .3mm lead holder. Very fine. I put H lead in it and its nice for very light drawings on my watercolor paper.
More watercolor pencil paintings.
do these markers works for colouring books? what is the best way to work with these water colors? always using water?
Probably work fine for that. Yes, best when using a brush and water after.
what did he put on the bush and he started to blend it's with the copic marker!?!
VagaBondLeo 272 coffee
CrownedX Wolf this is winsor and newton watercolor markers
he mainly just adds water
fantastic painting i find palleting works best for me but i use mine along
side my other water color mediums steve i use art bars inktense water color pencils plus water soluble oil pastels and water soluble wax pastels plus half pans and tubes i find the all work well together
derwent water color pencils
derwent artbars
derwent inktense
crayola portfolio water soluble oil pastels
and reeves water soluble wax pastels
all what i have listed below is worth trying i was
skeptical till i used them and i was impressed by the
the water color markers are an other addition to my usable water color mediums
i love any form of water color medium
Andy Coakes Great input Andy, thanks!
you should try the water soluble oil and wax pastels steve
Andy Coakes They do sound very intriguing.
they are so are derwent art bars
Just out of curiosity, what was the small brush you were using to lift the paint? Was that just a cheap old scrubby brush or did you buy a specific brush for that purpose? Also, how was painting in larger areas with the markers? I can see some streaking with the blue, but it looks like most other color dissolved fairly evenly.
+Shannon Poehlman Its a small hogs bristle brush that I use for gentle lifting. I did buy it specifically for that purpose. Normally those are used for oil painting or acrylics. I have a video on my various lifting techniques if you haven't seen it yet I talk about this brush a little and various other lifting techniques. th-cam.com/video/441zE7tETQs/w-d-xo.html
+The Mind of Watercolor Thank you so much! :D
First and foremost, thank you for your wonderful demonstrations.
Just wondering if the W & N watercolor markers can be reactivated with water when they have dried on paper for a longer period of time (1 week or 1 month or more) equally as well as when they have first been applied. Thank you. In either case, after seeing this demo I think I will have to give these markers a go. :)
Dea A I've heard of people doing it successfully but, not had much success yet myself.
Thank you for your reply!
Did you allow the pigment to dry before you added more after you applied the washes?
Really useful video, thank you. I have some of these but they confuse me a bit.
Some of both but mostly further washes are put on wet on top of dry.
Link the paper please. I cannot find it.
Hiya,
How are the markers 9 months on? Are they refillable at all? How long do they last?
If you put a line or patch of colour down on a vertical easle do the colours run like paint would normally? ...or only if you add water to blend?
Thanks in advance.
+theartyone I haven't had to refill one, I did have to reclaim one that was dryish. It took a few attempts but finally came back full strength just by putting in a few drops of water on the dry side of the barrel. I have plans to make another marker video soon. I'm finding they are a better supplementary tool than using as the primary painting medium. They are great journal sketching especially for ink and wash. They also are a great way to pop in low light details in a standard painting. Still experimenting though.
The Mind of Watercolor
Thanks for the feedback. I was wondering if they'd be good for colouring on the spot caricatures at festivals, etc ...there's the fact paint has to dry though. Markers can cost a lot if you need to refill them or replace them.
I wonder if these watercolour markers have a chuck of watercolour inside them and just adding water will keep them going for ages (like using pans or tubes of watercolour). I'd love to open one up.
+theartyone The barrel ends come off and there is just a fat sort of wick/sponge inside. So they must use a concentrated fluid WC like Dr. Marten's Hydrus. My thought was if they ever go dry I would try refilling with Dr. Marten's.
Hi , Do those markers blend well on canson watercolor paper 140?
I haven't tried them on Canson. They tend to stain on most papers and not fully rewet on anything but their special marker watercolor paper which, unfortunately is a drawback. But I like them for touch ups to standard watercolors or coloring ink and wash.
The Mind of Watercolor ok
♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
Wonderful job you do, with all mediums in my option... Very nice work you do indeed...
When working with pen and watercolor, what kind of pen/pencil is good to use if I'm sketching n such while away on holiday? I'd be interested in finding something that would be permanent so that the watercolor does not make the pen bleed. I'm giving sketching a first try while in Sedona for Mother's Day visiting with Mom-n-Law, so I thought I'd put together a travel kit to play with when I'm out in nature. Now that I've seen this great video, I'm lacking a few supplies like a pen/pencil of some sort. For sure I'm bringing a little palette of watercolor as yesterday I purchased some tubes of M. Graham. They were on sale at almost half off so I hope I grabbed the best colors to get started. Ultramarine Blue, Quinacrindone Red, Hansa Yellow Deep, Olive Green. I received Indian Yellow for free... for purchasing three 15ml tubes. I can't find the Silver, Black Velvet brushes so I've have a few Princeton & Cotman to get started.
I truly enjoy your videos and look forward to being seated in my soon to be, place to create. My studio project to coming along to being finished very soon.
Warm regards,
Karla
Karla Smith Good choices on the paints. For a pen try the Pigma Microns. They won't wet or smear when dry. For a pencil, on location I prefer a mechanical pencil so I don't have to bring a sharpener into the field. Thanks for the comments and for watching!
Great, thanks, I have both... Good day...
Thank you for this. I am curious: it has been two years -- do you still find yourself reaching for these or are they wasting away in the drawer? I don't think we have seen any other videos since these first two ones using them, but more interesting if you use them for your own work?
Yeah, kind of wasting away honestly. Not because i don't like them or they aren't usable but mostly I just forget to pull them out or don't have the right project for them. Markers are not my go to medium in general. Also because I've reviewed so many other products and paint since. I've really wanted to do another video or two at least on these markers. Great reminder. I have used them a few times for deep value touch ups on nearly finished paintings. That may make a good angle for a video.
Great video! Just out of curiosity, why did u buy 4 black markers?
+Homaru Magica I didn't, they are different colors.
oh that makes sense :) The Mind of Watercolor
I'm so sorry this argument had to come up, the fact is it's a good video and that's all that should matter
All's well that ends well.
Beautiful! Do you let each layer dry between applications?
+AndiCat14 yes, mostly.
👌🏻😍😍😍
+Елена Козлова 👍
nice vid dude
+FlovingChannel “Floving Channel” V Thanks!
I would like to request a lesson video on painting rock walls, brick walls, and/or rocky house exteriors, please. The way I'm doing it now isn't working. Thanks.
David Ludwig Ok, might go well in a texture series. Something I've been thinking about.
Thank you, very much. I'm trying to paint a series of old stone houses, and barns around my location here in NW PA, and I'm not getting the texture or the 3-D effect of the stone/ brick walls.
What pencils were you using?
+Nicole Scarafile prismacolor
+The Mind of Watercolor thank you much !! Love your work! Do you sell any of it ?
+Nicole Scarafile Yes, most of the original work at my website is priced. Its not cheap cause I don't like to turn loose of originals but I would sell if the price was right. I also have a "Shop" link there for print sales. stevemitchellstudios.com
Hi. I went to your website after reading the above but i could not find the originals??
the portfolio button just shows the blog topics? sorry am probably being a bit thick :(
Quit painting so fast! You're getting sloppy!
Hehe, i couldn't resist that corny joke.
Its beautiful. And you almost had the reference photo in the shot! 😜
Holly Tree Hey, I had the whole thing in there. Only about 15 secs. but... :)
Ha! Yup.
Beautiful!
JojoLemonJuice Thanks!
