I'm glad that you enjoyed the video! A bipping? Was it the music in the background that you didn't like or was it a break in the video itself? I didn't notice anything when I was reviewing it, but I appreciate the feedback. I'm always working to try to improve the quality of my videos.

⁠@@hopalongstudioyes.. you are right, I heard it now again but with higher sound and its indeed the music that has some parts where its constantly beeping. I would prefer no music but ofc its a matter of taste… to me it just annoyed me a lot :(

I was constantly pausing the video to understand where the beeping was coming until I realized it was from the video 😂

@@saralopes6197 Ok, that's fair. I try to add music that won't be disrupting or distracting. Thanks for letting me know. I'm trying to find the balance with music and other features but it's always hard to know what's working and what isn't. I appreciate the feedback!

To be honest, I haven't given their paint pens a try yet. For this video, I was using all the pens that I'd been using in my art practice for a while. I did create another video about inexpensive paint pens that you might be interested in. ua-cam.com/video/3Vc-4KJUNho/v-deo.htmlsi=cYbNefI2fedWEDC7 I would love to try to Arteza pens, but since I have more than 100 paint pens, I thought I'd wait to go through a bunch of them before buying some more!

@@hopalongstudio i am getting them they'll be here in a couple weeks. (The one time Amazon has slow shipping). I can keep you updated if you want.

@@francescacaviasca7333 Please do, I’d like to know how they work for you!

They are created with stencils. This one is a TCW Koi Pond stencil, here's the link from Amazon if you're interested in purchasing it: amzn.to/3LMtSgK

@@hopalongstudio Thank you! 😊

Thanks for sharing! I didn't realize that India ink usually has shellac in it. That's great to know!

I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble with your pens. I just pulled my Artistro pens out the other day after not using them for about 6 months. I did find that a few of the nibs had come crusted paint on them. I ended up using a baby wipe and scrubbing the paint off the tips. I had to shake them super well and several times and it took several times priming them to get them working again, but I eventually got them up and running again. Honestly, if the nibs are getting cranky and they're not working, you can try pulling the tips, scrubbing them with soap and water, rinsing them well and re-inserting them into the pen. When they are being difficult, my thought is that I have nothing to lose by being a bit rougher with the nibs. I hope that helps!

@@hopalongstudio Thank you. Appreciate your comment!

Thanks! I'm glad that you enjoyed the video and that you found it helpful. The plastic sheet cones sounds like a lot of work, this will definitely work better! I tend to use a high flow paint in the bottles, but if you don't have high flow, a bit of thinned paint should also work well. I hope that you get great results with this! I find that depending on your bottle, the paints don't dry out either. These are the ones that I purchase from Amazon. amzn.to/3YtHuF2 I can have paints in them for over 6 months and they are good to use as the day I put the paint in the bottle. I hope that you have great success with this technique!

@@hopalongstudio thanks🥰

@@hopalongstudio is there any way I can thicken up thin running paints so as to make them more viscous, but not losing the colour at the same time. One thing which caught my attention was that you left a working link for the Amazon product. Whenever I post any website links in comments, UA-cam deactivate/removes the links, and they are no longer highlighted in blue, appear, like normal text and don’t work on clicking on the link. Did you do anything different other than copy paste?😁 sorry not related with the subject of your video, but had to ask you how you manage to leave a working web link.

@@Zxcvb137 Yes there is. Use a gel medium or even a heavy gel medium. This will give your paint thicker consistency and you'll still have good color. Just be aware that when you do mix the paint with the gel medium, it'll look a little bit cloudy but will dry clear. Once it dries it'll look just as vibrant as it was before! Oh interesting. I haven't run into that before. All I'm doing is copying and pasting and it works. I hope that you can figure it out so you can keep your links!

@@hopalongstudio THANKS AGAIN. I really appreciate that you bothered to answer me and solve my problem. So many UA-camrs are only interested in getting likes and views from their subscribers. But when it comes to answering queries, they rarely do.

Oh, that's interesting. I'm glad that you had better results than I did! I also live in a semi-arid climate, so we have very little humidity. So my pens tend to dry out quite quickly if the caps aren't perfectly tight or well made. It's great that you had better success than I did! Thanks for watching!

Thanks. I love that book and it's been such a help to me in both my personal and art journey.

You're welcome! I hope that you find it helpful!

Thanks! When I saw that one in an art journaling class that I was taking, I knew I had to share it. It makes everything so much easier!

You're welcome! I'm really glad that you found it helpful! Glass painting can feel a bit intimidating at the beginning, so I'm glad that I could help!

I'm glad that you've been enjoying the videos! So I've played with a lot of different papers for pastels. The more tooth (roughness) the paper has, the better the pastels will stick. I have used bristol paper and smoother papers, but it does mean that less of the medium will stick to the paper and you'll have to use a fixative spray if you want to build colors and layers. When I first was playing with pastels I used a lot of bristol paper but I've now moved to watercolor paper and slightly more textured paper so that the surface will have more tooth and the pastel will stick better. Because I like to add pastels to collage, to help them stick to the surface I'll use a clear gesso to create more tooth. It's nice to have a really smooth paper (it's my favorite) but it means that the pastels will fight you a bit. You can always try to experiment and see what you get. I tend to use the Cason XL Watercolor paper in my classes and my students have had good results with it. It's not super textured but the pastels seem to stick to it quite well. I hope that helps!

It isn't necessary. The alcohol inks won't chip off or move. If you're going to have your piece in a very bright area I would consider using a UV spray. I love alcohol inks but they aren't nearly as lightfast as acrylic paints.

You're welcome! I'm glad that you enjoyed the video!

The paint dries pretty quickly. I tend to do these projects in batches. So it was a couple of days between painting and curing. I don't think it matters as long as the paint is dry. The oven does the final cure of the paint to make it hard and durable.

That would be beautiful! I'll have to give that a try sometime! I mostly work in my art journal, but I really should try adding them to decor around my house. Thanks for the great idea!

@@hopalongstudio can't wait to see what you come up with. I promise you, you will love what you see.

@@Paulsofsteel I'm sure it'll be amazing! Now I just need to find a lampshade to alter......

That's a great suggestion!

Check out the description below the video. In each video's description I share my product supply list. You can also find it here on my website: hopalongstudio.com/choosing-the-best-circle-tools-for-drawing/

You're welcome! The Posca's are amazing pens. After spending so much time on a piece, being able to have a good quality pen to sign with is a great thing. You're right, the colors are limited, but I tend to use a lot of metallics, black and white in my projects.

You're welcome, I'm glad that you enjoyed it. That's sweet of you to say, there's something amazing about blending with watercolors!

@@hopalongstudio It is that magical blending of colours that I love the most 🌺

I'm glad that you enjoyed the video. Thanks for subscribing and I hope that you give this project a try!

Thank you! I love the art journal, it's my laboratory to try out all sorts of techniques without worrying about a finished piece. I like to add personal journaling to my pieces too, which doesn't always work for wall art. Definitely check out art journaling and art sketchbooks, there's so much inspiration out there. Books are so fun to create in!

You can, but I'd suggest a stiffer bristled brush so that more of the pigment goes onto the surface. I tend to use sponges because it generally creates less dust and loose pigment. I've moved away from the Sofft sponges due to the expense and when I teach classes, I have my students use disposable makeup applicators and makeup sponges and they work really well.

Thank you for the info.

You're welcome! I'm glad that you found it helpful!

You're welcome, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

You're welcome!

Thanks! I hope you're enjoying the videos!

Thank you!

It's nice to meet a fellow Calgarian! I love Fish Creek Park, it's definitely one of my favorite places to walk and bike!

Thank you!!

So exciting! I hope that you love using them, they are a fantastic medium!

You're welcome! Thanks for watching!

Absolutely! Any paste or heavy gesso will work. Each paste has a slightly different finish and consistency, but anything that has a bit of grip (or tooth) will work with pan pastels. If it dries too smooth, you can always rough it up with sandpaper.

I like to use tin tape because it has a strong adhesive that I can apply directly to 110lb cardstock. If I'm using aluminum foil, I use a good quality glue like Art Glitter glue, but any PVA or wood glue will also work. To see a detailed video about how to do this, check out this video that I created: ua-cam.com/video/xbJGpunxPo0/v-deo.htmlsi=P3kAusE0QAL2kkmi

I know! It was a new discovery for me too! They are perfect for anyone who wants to try out fountain pens without spending a lot of money on a conventional fountain pen.

Unfortunately I don't have an experience with raster engraving. All the images that I used with the deco foil were PDF images I printed on my computer.

You're welcome! That's fantastic! Modeling paste and stencils work beautifully in paintings. Sometimes I mix the color in and other times I paint it on top. There's so much versatility when using mediums.

I'm not sure if I quite understand your question. My translation is "does it happen on every paper?" Can you give me a bit more context? Thanks!

Yes, they are great paint markers!
