    With great regret, I painted a watercolor floral composition containing water droplets using the Ph. Martins White Bombay India Ink. The white ink made the whole piece very unnatural looking; even worse it cracked and became uneven on the watercolor paper surface. Please don't use this white ink for watercolor painting or watercolor paper. It is real garbage.

    • @jeannettesirois
      @jeannettesirois Місяць тому

      The ink is actually not garbage! It is a remarkable material when used correctly. My videos are for coloured pencil use and not watercolour. I never use it as a full coverage with watercolour and it is very blue/harsh white. I only use it with coloured pencils in tiny highlight areas or whiskers, or dilute it with water for faded highlights, it has never cracked or chipped for me. I also add a bit of yellow or other watercolour to it to tone down the bright whiteness of it when the subject needs a less intense white. I’ve used it for years, and it has been remarkable for coloured pencils art work. Cheers

    For matte, I use either of : Staedtler Lumograph black, Faber Castell Black Matt 1111 (hard to find) and Faber Castell Pitt Matte. There is an even harder to find Chinese pencil named Maries whose 12 B is fairly matt and the 14B is a properly matt (yet not dusty) charcoal based pencil. For the blackest blacks, properly matt however, the best I have used so far is the Conte a Paris Pierre Noir (Black Rock). It isn't graphite (different mineral altogether). They come in an almost indistinguishable b, 2b and 3B. The Conte Carbon pencils are also matt and properly dark with the HB comparable to comparable to a 12 B Faber Castell Pitt Matt and the 2 B comparable with the FC 14B (For avoidance of doubt that's FC 12B = Conte Carbon HB and FC 2B = Conte carbon 14B).

    I enjoy your videos a lot. It’s funny, I peer facilitate a trans support group. And over the time with this group, I’ve realized that we are almost all neurodivergent. So, unintentionally, I created/found an autism group, a place where I feel comfortable exploring that part of me.

    Which orderless mineral spirit? I'm in US and can't find Zest It anywhere, even large art supply online. Jackson's shows they don't even have available. I don't have a good ventilated area to work in so I haven't purchased those at the craft store. Advice?

      @jeannettesirois 2 місяці тому

      Hi, Any OMS will work, OMS, Odorless Mineral Spirits is an odorless product found in art stores, Gamblin, Mona Lisa are 2 brand names. You only need a tiny bottle as it goes a long way. cheers

    • @jeannettesirois
      @jeannettesirois 2 місяці тому

      You can also purchase a blending marker, there are specific blending markers for coloured pencil blending. The OMS is odorless as long as the room is not closet sized, and you keep the door open you should be fine. Dip brush, close lid, if you feel it affecting you. J
