Amazing, so relaxing to watch and really useful tips.

Just what I needed.. thanks

Because using Ballpoint Pens as an Art Medium Consumes a Lot of Time?

Pigments and Arabic gom, and a drop of glycerin, voila that is watercolor paint easy to make at home , instead of spending hundreds of dollars or euro for name brands , those compagnies laugh there way to the bank .

If you haven't already, try Strathmore 400 series Marker Paper. It's really nice for dip pen.

Acura is a Honda brand not Toyota :) Great review. Thank you.

Not sure if you knew this as you didn’t mention in your video but they make these journals with three different types of paper weight, 80 gsm, 120 gsm, and 150 gsm. Per another RUclipsr sharpies and other alcohol markers still show through, but you can paint with watercolors and using water color pencils, etc. I think the 150 may be more of a mixed media.

I planned nearly 10 years, before retirement, to puchase art/craft supplies. I'm glad I did and restrain myself purchasing more than the basics... not so easy! It's like buying cookbooks when we just want a cook... or to be them. Laughter. I live in a very, very rural area... retired here. My slow purging, as figure out what I really enjoy most, has been taken to the local post office where people leave books, sometimes food, and small misc things. I love that the bags of misc art/craft things disappear into this 'miles to your neighbor) community.

Brilliant! Thank you.

Thanks for the very informative video and excellent close ups!

Brilliant peek, thank you. Adore her work, and loved your thoughts on it-really insightful.

Hullo Mark! I have a special place in my heart for brushes and brush videos! I have an extensive collection of brushes that are all working brushes too. I have a set of LeMer natural hair brushes that I purchased in 1988 and they were my last natural hair brushes I purchased. I believe that they have gone out of business or have stopped selling in the USA! I have gone over to the Mimik brush brand for the different mediums I work in. I am also a fan of the Princeton synthetic brushes. The development of synthetic hairs combining different diameter of hairs has made an amazing difference in how synthetic brushes work today! I do remember when if you tried to use a synthetic brush with watercolor you would experience nothing but despair and agony! Now? They have synthetic Kolinsky Sable Brushes that are just tremendous! I cannot see nor tell the difference and I believe others that swear by natural hair brushes would have a hard time telling the difference either!! Oh Geeze I am going on, thank you for sharing your brushes with us, I really appreciate your generosity of spirit and sharing your joy with us. Have a lovely day!

Can you do a review on the paper mate inkjoy gel pens? Please and thank you :)

really nice .. this is six years ago.. nowadays very good watercolour pencils from china are dirt cheap .. i get a twelve colour set for less than 3 euro here in bulgaria and they're awesome .. they're indistinguishabe from prismacolor watercolour pencils

No wonder…

Love that tac bag, the Mollie system has totally changed my studio space

Mark you always find the right topics, thank you for this wonderful and valuable video! I was having conversations about that and how we approach art and painting a few days ago. It's been so nice to hear your thoughts and your experiences. Thank you for sharing!

Great idea. Thanks

Your RUclips channel rock! Completely relate with your students not knowing when to stop or add more.

Making letters and cards are so enjoyable for everyone involved.😊👍

Does anyone know where I can get oldstyle school dipping pen bodies, that is very slender pens that will dip inside a bottle without getting ink all up the side. I mean something no thicker than a Bic ballpen. Those curvaceous pens you see everywhere nowadays won't go through the neck of my narrowest bottles. And they won't even hold my favourite handwriting nib (elongated J by John Heath) because their grip isn't tight enough. I've looked everywhere. The only ones I have came from a joblot of 1950s/60s dipping pens and accessories from eBay. Surely someone somewhere makes them new...?

What's good is you have the Super Specials from the early 80's, which had the 70's stuff that you lost.

All naturals are my other favorite

This are the best brushs i love em

I mainly use Winsor Newton. For me that IS the expensive water color paint. When I get better I will consider spending more. I do understand that we get what we pay for. I also mainly use Arches paper. I like this piece you did for this video. Fun to watch you!

P r o m o s m 🙌

That's very useful thank you. Im discovering dip pens and love them already

Sharpies are good people they work day and night. People don't appreciate them enough. Can we have a moment of silence for all of the sharpies thrown away prematurely. Amen

do i think tracings bad? no, do i think claiming the base as your own yea. tracing helps a lot of people by learning anatomy and basic angles etc. and many pro artist still trace basic things like hands and even their own art to save time. now theres a different thing when you claim the art as your own so just dont be an ass🤷

I have to wonder why advertising is allowed at all, we are so saturated with ads. It is absolutely predatory. It should be criminal that companies can rake in real money but not then pay those creators who do the work. And how is it allowed that without our even knowing, our information is bought and sold over and over to companies who try to profit of us too?!

Thanks for the great video! What type of ink do you use in your brushes? Do you dilute it with water at all?

Just bought my first water brushes and very excited to use them! Thanks for this tutorial :)

Why so many colors when one canuse, say 6 & mix?

Five years later - how have they held up?!

Great discussion! It's true that a few art influencers make it big, but for each one making money, there are thousands of tiny ones buying tons of supplies and doing reviews, trying to get the algorithm to bless them. As I'm sure you know reviews are much more promoted than tutorials, and there's a reason for that! I assume all those small creators account for a lot of the increase in the art supply market. This is not just true for art -- but also makeup, nail polish, clothing... and probably many other realms too. There's also the problem of subscription boxes and reviewing those. That is a way to end up with way too many art supplies very quickly, many of them questionable quality, a strange selection of colors (often the ones that didn't sell), duplicates and ones the recipients will never use because they don't favor that media.

I couldn’t agree enough with making an inventory. It is valuable and sobering. I think 2020 was the start of overspending for me. I usually went to art stores physically before that. Discovering that I could order from SO many places and signing up for their emails really caused an imbalance. I was in school as an are major 10+ years ago and I made several trips to the art store to pick up paper each semester (printmaking and painting)- but they were used in no time and then I’d go back. In recent times- it became more about sets- the pretty boxes they came in etc. I NEVER needed so many pigments- I didn’t even know 25% of the WC brands existed. I do now😂😂. I’ve been slowly selling the watercolor sets I collected (it grosses me out that I was “collecting”sets) and I’m trying to have only what I’ll use. I’ve been merciless with selling them with their beautiful tins/ boxes. I hope I can reach equilibrium soon. Thanks for this video.❤

Se ritaglia il vano pennello ne entrano 3 vaschette in fila in più.geniale

Just found out aboutvwaterbrushes & started w/the small kit you showed. Looking forward to experimenting with them. I'll check out the Pentel ones later.

This is very timely, I am in the middle of reevaluating and assessing my current art supply stash. Having access to every type of art supply imaginable has catapulted my progress in art, and really refined my taste for specific types of supplies. I have quickly discovered what I like, and do not like by trying and comparing different brands. I never could afford or even had access to a lot of these when I was young. I enjoy art , more now than ever. I have a local consignment store that buys and sells used items. I like the fact that I can take things there get some store credit and make accessible good art supplies to other people who may not have access to, or the ability to afford them. Great video :-) everyone needs a reminder now and then about being grateful for what we have, and being mindful of what we use.

I have lots of watercolor sets. Most are in palettes I don't like so one of the fun things I do is look for unique containers to turn into palettes. I've used cigarette boxes, colored pencil boxes, plastic storage boxes (they come in an amazing number of sizes), wooden boxes, candy boxes, CD cases, and any other suitable container I come across while in thrift stores. I especially like to make complete travel sets with some of the smaller containers. It is a very enjoyable hobby.

😊 I just ordered my first sets of A Gallo and awaiting their arrival. They are stunning in the videos so I am so excited!

The narrative without words in the music was fun, I am glad you played it, though I am sorry the reason you had to was illness. I am loving the results you are getting with those Schminke watercolors. They are impressive. Feel better soon.

OH. MY.GOSH! I never thought of filling my brushes with ink! Brilliant! I can't wait to get started! Thanks for the great idea!

I love sharpies but im not an artist and i cannot draw shit to save my life. Lol so i just use it for note taking and journaling and i love the vibrant and boldness of its color and smoothness in writing.

Do you do the color digitally so that it's easy to change? Amazing illustration!!

Get well soon, squeaky-voiced teen!
