It's fantastic how you can make such beautiful art with these, I am amazed by the way you paint on top of the ink that you have splashed onto the page. Do you consider the colour and placement of the ink with regard to the subject you are then going to sketch onto it? 😊
I'm often asked this question and honestly its totally random. The pages were likely prepared in bulk say 10 spreads at a time weeks or months ago. I just turn over the page and work on whatever is there. Let me know if you'd like to see a video on this method ?
@@OhnMarWinArt very interesting, thank you, I don't feel brave enough to do that! Yes a future video could help I think if you have time and would like to 😊
I would love to see a video of you preparing your spreads. Thank you!
@@OhnMarWinArt oooo yes please a video on this!
@@OhnMarWinArt a video would be so great 🙏
I love these pencils, they're so SOLID. I don't know how else to describe them, they hold up to every paper, every sharpener, every drop, every abusive thing I've done to them...and the fact that I can do a whole piece with only one color really shows they lay down both light and heavy and blend like a dream!
I know right ?! So versatile & hardworking
I just got mine. The sharpeners I have done work well with them and the wood splinters. What sharpener do you use other than Caran D'Ache brand?
I absolutely love your confidence with going straight in with watercolors. I still need some light pencil sketch but I'm gonna try a colour pencil instead. I could really watch your videos over and over again just to get inspired.
I love when artists create their own color palette with pencils- there's always so many in the sets that most people don't use. your choices are gorgeous! I have a few of the colors you have curated as well.
Oh thank you so much 🙏
Your artwork is so stunning! I love your style so much. It is magical how you pull all of the mediums together in such an impactful way without too much detail. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much!
So glad you said that about cars…. I struggle with vehicles and florals. Also I think I’ll invest in the luminance pencils ✏️ thank you
What a treat to find this video tonight! I do love a swatching video, especially Luminance pencils. I have a handful, including the Anthroquinoid Pink and the chrysocolur blue. Really appreciate you showing how you use your pencils.
You are most welcome NIna I think different artists use pencils in different ways so I am happy you enjoyed seeing my particular process
I love the freedom of the pre prepared backgrounds
Such a useful video. Lovely colours. It would be great if Caran d’Ache sent you a full set of Luminance to swatch and talk through.
This is one of your best yet! Seeing the use of the luminance colored pencils was eye opening. Wowsers. Can’t wait to incorporate this kind of use in my art sketchbook.
I'm so glad you found this useful Eva. I'll be using these just as you saw i the video when we are in Provence so get practicing !!
I love these pencils too and your tutorial will help me get even more out of them. I’ll explore the world of combining them with watercolour. Happy days of exploration lie ahead. PS what I love about these pencils is the density of colour that can be achieved easily , as well as the softness and blending capabilities.
Glad the video was useful
I am italian and I really really appreciate your illustrations. Love these pencils so much, thank you for sharing your work!
Glad you like them!
So helpful! Thank you so much😊
I'm so happy, that I found you today🎉 great artwork!
Oh thank you!
Love, love, love, this video thank you so very much...!
I loved seeing the colors you use, why you use them, and where you use them. So helpful.
Thank you so much!
Watching your lesson has been enjoyable. Thank you!
Like colouring pencils have some Caren de arche luminance ,Derwent lightfast, prismacolor great to use trying some watercolour pencils at this time all great to use.
I enjoyed the Demo. ❤
Thanks for all of the great tips. I loved seeing you swatch your pencils- so helpful!
You are most welcome. Which part of the video did you enjoy the most
@@OhnMarWinArt I especially liked seeing how you used your pencils to add the details on top of the watercolor and ink. I struggle with knowing which details to add and when to stop so it doesn’t look like a color book page. Hearing you talk about why you are doing something (while watching you do it) is so helpful.
Perfect timing for this video. I just purchased a set of watercolor pencils and playing with them in my sketches. I really like the feel of the pencil and feel this tool is just what I was looking for.
Wonderful!
Thank you for these tips and your drawings are amazing!
Many thanks Claire - which parts did you find useful?
Thanks for swatching your Luminance pencils! Those aubergines are really yummy :) And it was really fun to see the Italian scenes emerging beautifully from the mix of materials.
I’m so glad you think so. That timed session really helped me think about the most effective use for maximum impact
Loved seeing your process! The luminance pencils are my favorites ❤️
Yay - I'm glad to hear that. Would you like to see more process videos like this ?
Loved seeing your process for approaching the Italian scenes from Katie’s zoom session! I went in directly with gouache and then added the neocolor and color pencil the way Katie does but I couldn’t achieve the look that I was going for 😅 thanks for sharing! ❤
Maybe it’s worth trying again without the time pressure ? I’ve yet to properly try Neocolor - soon though !!
Brillant work! 👏👏👏 cheers from Brasil
Thank you very much! I would love to come paint in Brazil
Amazing video dear Ohn Mar! Thanks for sharing your pencils and your process of how you work! ❤❤❤
Its my pleasure - do you use color pencils ?
They are lovely pencils. Your work is just so delicious!
Thank you so much 😀
I enjoyed the demo.
I’m glad. Do you use colour pencils ?
great sketches! I would love to see those in real time😍
That would have been a long video Enron though they were 25mins. Maybe I should challenge myself to 10mins - see what happens
I loved your process, thank you very much for sharing! ❤
You are most welcome. Which part of the video did you enjoy the most ?
@@OhnMarWinArt the one with the practical part :) second part.
Man, I love what you do!! Every picture is beautiful! You incorporated those pencils in beautifully. Great tutorial, thank you!❤️
You are most welcome. Which part of the video did you enjoy the most ? Do you use color pencils ?
@@OhnMarWinArt I like how you choose where to use them, like in the fruit and vegetable stand you did. Yes, I do have the luminance pencils, but I really didn't know how to use them like you have. I'm new at all this. But you have really opened my eyes! I'm going back thru your tutorials to see what I have missed. Thank you for reaching out!!❤️❤️
My favorites too 🤩
Which are your favourite colours ?
Outstanding! Love the whimsical warmth your sweeps of ink create. TYSM for showing us your CP palette! I too love, them😊 I do live bythesea, so will try this technique with a cooler approach💦TY again for always inspiring🌼🚎💦
Oh thank you so much!
These Italian landscapes are sooooooo amazing! I am fascinated how easily you create those images! From all artists that I follow, you are my favorite! :) Last summer my boyfriend gave me the box of 40 luminance pencils for my birthday and I looove using them. Because in the box, there weren`t enough greens, I bought a few green Polychromos Pencils from Faber Castell and I must say, the quality is very similar. But they only cost half of the luminance - here in Germany. Maybe its because its a german brand.
You are so kind to say - I'm honoured❤ I would LOVE to try other colour pencil brands. However I'd rather try a few different pencils in a 'real' shop before committing to buying them. Although I may buy a few Faber Castells online to see how they handle.
So very happy to have found you!! This (and all of your videos I've seen thus far) are so helpful and encouraging ❣️❣️❣️ Thank you so very much for sharing your skills ❣️❣️❣️🌹🌹🌹❤️❤️❤️😍
You are so welcome! Many thanks
I'm slowly building up my Luminance collection and there are so many great recommendations here so thank you for sharing Ohn Mar! I now have a long wish list! 😂It was so wonderful to see your process for the Italy livestream and so useful to hear your techniques. Your use of contrast and line is always wonderful!
😂Sorry to add to your art supplies list -we always feel we need ‘more’ !!! It was one of my favourite sessions - I think the chatter kept me calm because I knew I was filming
I have the Mungyo oil pastels. I live in Ohio USA.
I went out and purchased a few colours after watching this !let’s hope they’re magic 😅
I'd be interested to know how you feel about their performance.
First off, I love seeing what you do with the pencils… drawing with permanent color pencils together with watercolors is not something I’ve tried yet, but after seeing your video I definitely will!
On the Luminance lineup, I just find that their color palette is beyond lovely. I am very drawn to the Anthraquinoid Pink and use it to color blushing cheeks! Another color that’s in the same vein, but a bit different, more subdued, that you should consider trying out, is the Herculanum Red 068… it is LOVELY 😻
Thanks so much for the great tip - I must admit I've probably have that in my basket for next time lol
You have the most elegant penmanship. This is my first video and I immediately subscribed. Great info and excited to learn more exciting things from you ❤
I appreciate that! Thank you 🙏
@@OhnMarWinArt well deserved
Another lovely video. So lovely to see your collection. but to see how you use them was the most useful. It always amazes me to see how fast you work. My perfectionism always gets in the way but I see that this is something that you have really practiced with timed studies and I can also see how you use the same teqnicues as in your skillshare class on toned paper. I think I need to start doing timed studies.
The time studies really forces me to make fast decisions, so I include essentials and areas of high contrast. This often captures the essence of a piece.
Thank you so much!❤ This was fantastic! I really enjoyed seeing how you use the Luminance! How long do you typically wait for your watercolor base layer to dry before adding colored pencil on top? Do you find that different papers, mainly cotton vs wood pulp, dry at different rates for using this technique? Do you use this technique while on the go… sketching outside? I’ve been trying this technique with colored pencil over watercolor or watercolor pencils and sometimes I get frustrated with having to wait for drying time. I mainly use Museum Aquarelle (I carry 50 different pencils 😂), and Derwent Drawing with a few favorite Luminance colors like Dark Indigo 639, Grey Blue 755, Paynes Grey 50%, and Dark Phthalo Green 719. I find these Luminance colors fill in the gaps and compliment the Derwent Drawing 24 set for me. I would definitely love to see more of what you do with colored pencils. Your videos are so inspiring, and such a pleasure to watch. Thank you for taking the time to record, edit, create these videos! Edited to say… I really like that Caran D’Ache gives the pigment information for both the Luminance and the Museum Aquarelle, but did it a tiny bit frustrating that they don’t have the exact same set of pencils in both lines, and that some colors with the same names/numbers can look quite different. 😆
I love hearing what other artists enjoy using. The watercolor drying time really depends on several factors 1)the weather or season 2)size of brush 3)water ratio. Painting in south of France in summer compared to autumn in NYC will mean different wait times when on location. If I’m at home I’ll use a gentle hair dryer
Can you tell me what the white opaque paint brush thingy you are using in the final drawing? I'm probably describing it wrong, but it sure makes the drawing pop.
Absolutely love how you combine splashes of color with details. Any tips on prepping pages? I try to do this but the color ends up overwhelming any sketching I do.
I would recommend just sketching with one colour and see how you get on. Keeping a limited pallet is very helpful to reduce overwhelm.
This is a great video! Your color selection is awesome. What paper are you drawing on? Do you have a video suggesting the best papers to use for colored pencils?
It's a Hahnmeuhle watercolor sketchbook
Thanks so much for this beautiful video! I'm so intrigued by these colored pencils. How do you feel they compare to Prismacolor?
I know my American art friends love the Prismacolor but its trickier to get hold of them in the UK. I might buy a handful online to compare and contrast. Like many of the products and brands I use some of my decisions are based on easy availability and shipping costs.
@@OhnMarWinArt Thanks so much for note. I totally get making decisions on availability and cost. I'm in the US so feel free to ping me if I an help with shipping in anyway :)
Love your video and your italian sketches!!! What kind of ink are you using for the prepared pages? I would like to know a little bit more about this preparation... Are you panning to do a video about this preparation with inks? Thank you!!!!
They are acrylic inks. I did release a video for subscribers only last week. However, I may expand on this as I have just finished my first sketchbook where are use this pre-prepared technique.
Love this! Do you have any videos or classes on Skillshare that teach perspective when drawing buildings? That’s one thing I struggle with. I’d love to see a class on drawing architecture! ❤
I only have a basic knowledge of perspective and sometimes I really mess it up. When I'm more confident I might consider a class about buildings.
Hi. I was reading the comments of this very interresant video when I saw your question. I can suggest you the class on skillshare of Barbara Luel : drawing buildings without perspective rules. Maybe it can help you 😊😊
@@isav2923 thank you!
@@isav2923 thank you
Which Moleskine watercolour book did you use for your swatches please? Gsm etc
Hi, thanks for the video :)
Can you please add a photo with all the swatches? And I would love to know about color mixing with Luminance can you share your thoughts? ❤
I don't really mix the pencils together on my page at this time. But maybe I'll incorporate that eventually.
fascinating. Is it possible to erase the luminance colour pencils?
If you use eraser, they will fade, but not fully
Aren’t Luminance pencils water soluble? Do you ever go back and wet certain areas for a painted look?
Why do you choose these pencils instead of prismacolour or polychromos. Is it the colour choices. Also i wondered if you've tried derwent drawing pencils for fur and feather but also good for landscapes
I did start out with a set of the Derwent colorsoft and it suited my needs at the time. But it really comes down to personal preference and I might move onto a different brand - I move through phases.
@@OhnMarWinArt they are lovely colours
Why do you use Luminance pencils versus other brands? What makes these special?
They came hight recommended by other artists and they go on so easily. I have used Derwent but they didn't give as much vibrance. But it might be I need to try other colors from their range
Thanks for the video. I find these very helpful as we live so far from an art shop, and trying to interpret shades online is tricky. I will definitely be adding a few more to my collection now!
What do you use to sharpen? I don't find they sharpen well with the over-sized pencils I already have. I won't buy a special Caran D'Ache only pencil. I simply won't buy anymore.
I have a electric pencil sharpener
Your color spirit is like mine: earthy, warm, rich and deep, on the brown side. Maybe autumnal is the word. If the color blend had a taste, the taste of truffles. Or the aroma of roasted chestnuts, the ground smell of oak woods in October and November. The richness of the way these hues sort of "speak" reminds me of the way wool takes traditional dyes. You can feel the color through your hand working with materials like this. The way some people are synaesthetic, feeling one thing through the senses used for another, like tasting colors, comes more easily with a palette like this. Memory of being in a place mixes the senses for you in the deep emotional brain, and this was being in a November wood without fear.
