- I have got some watercolor abstract painting work that I have been playing with recently for you today. It's the whole process from start to finish. Press 'Show More' to see the products used and you can find more art tutorials on / kimdellow
I'm working on two different papers for these two watercolor abstracts, I have a cold press paper which has a nice texture to it and is great for adding texture to your paintings. And a hot press paper which is smooth and just lovely to draw on.
Let me know which of the two abstracts is your favorite!

Some people binge on Netflix, not me, I binge on Kim Dellow! Your channel is new to me but I am loving all that you do!
You are lovely to me! Thank you and I hope you enjoyed your arty binge watching!
I liked cold press but both were cool.
Thank you!
I like the white Posca pens.
I love bleed proof white for an opaque white in watercolor. It covers better than gouache and can be tinted other colors. It comes in a small jar. It isn’t an ink. Hope that helps.
Uni ball signo in white is a good white pen! Very opaque
Thanks! I like that one too. I think I need to get a new one though, mine seems to be clagging. Maybe because I haven't used it for a while? *Sigh*🤣
Love both
Cold press ✨🙏🏾✨
Hello How are you doing today?
The struggle is Real!! Finding a reliable white Gel/ ink pen is So hard!! But you are doing beautiful work with these🦋 Abstracts are magical.
I like them both but love the way the salt reacted on the hot press. Very cool.
Thanks, yeah I always love how salt works on paint.
Hello How are you doing today?
You make us pick...I love them both. Cheers
😂 Thank you!
Both are super nice😍
Just discovered this fun tutorial. Many thanks!
I really like the hot press painting, but the cold press is lovely too….I like Molotow pens and have found them very good. Some are refillable too. Thanks for sharing!
The sakura white pen has been my best. Couldnt choose between the two love both.
Thank you!
I like the cold press nest because of the gold color. Beautiful art. 💐
Hello How are you doing today?
So nice! I like the cold press one much better. The colours tend to play with each other and with my eyes, rather than mixing up. The hot press is nice more for a background than a colour theme. The doodles are great in both. Like a keyhole inviting both to open and look through
I love the way you describe them! Thanks Marta!
favorite white pen is a Uni-ball Signo UM-153 white gel pen. Love it.
Thank you!
Beautifull!!! I like both, from México
I love the doodle that looks like a sea urchin! Very cool!!
You do beautiful artwork! Love boyh but drawn to number 1
Thank you so much!
I enjoy watching abstract and learning
Wonderful! Thank you!
Love them both!
Love both of them.......My favorite white pen is Uniball Signo! You are Amazing
Thank you! Good to know!
Can’t choose. Love them both!
The one on hot press is my fav but both are very good
Thank you!
Both of them are really very beautiful ❤️ ❤️
This is pretty. Thanks for sharing.

Just great. I prefer the cold press one 😀
Thank you Wendy!
I love them both!
Thank you Ursula 💙
Big difference between the two papers! Thanks for showing that. I like both!
I am glad you found it useful Tina!
Très beau. J'aime beaucoup bravo
Both are great💞
Love! 🤗💖😍
They are stunning Kim
Thank you Jill.
I’m so glad you enjoy making videos because I so enjoy watching yours!! I love both of these creations, especially the one on the left. I love the pink section through the middle and how your black doodle contrasts with it.
+Monica Garcia 😀😀😀 Thank you Monica, that is great to hear! That pink really works doesn't it? I'm a little obsessed with this colour palette at the moment. You can't see in the video, unfortunately, as my camera can't pick it up but the gold colour has a nice sparkle to it too. ❤️
Both gorgeous!
Thank you Diana.
the doodles in each piece are great. love the colors too. thanks as always for sharing.
+Theresa Petermann thank you Theresa! I'm glad you like them!
Love both but hot pressed one is my favourite beautiful artwork 🌸🌺
Thank you Deborah!
I love both of them.
+Nancy Kvorka thanks Nancy! 💙
Love the Hot Press!
Thank you!
This was fun! I like the spiral one best.
+Rae Lynn Reffruschinni thank you! I'm glad you liked it 😃
PH Martin has a fantastic white ink
Thanks for the suggestion Heather.
Kim thanks for sharing I am learning a lot, and i love them both.
+agnes ashford I am glad! Thanks for popping in and watching Agnes!
I like the cold press better
Thanks Heather.
@@KimDellow You're welcome.
Love your pages! Thanks for sharing
Thank you Alison!
Hi. Love your doodles, I find the process so relaxing myself and like watching how each one turns out. I've used loads of white inks but so far keep going back to the Sakura white gel pen in size 10. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos
Thank you Les, there is definitely something relaxing about both doing doodles and watching someone else doing doodles isn't there?! Mmm I am sure I had a white Sakura gel pen in my stash! I need to pull that out and give it a go! Thanks for the suggestion.
LOVE your videos so much. Both of these pieces are amazing. I especially love the way the colors look ok the hot press paper. Your doodles are awesome too. :)
+Tara Eastman thanks Tara, I am really glad you are enjoying them and it's wonderful to hear! I think I made the colors a little stronger on the hot press, it kind of works doesn't it 😂 😂 the pink really pops!
Both are awesome!
+Lise Danis thanks Lise, I'm glad you liked them!
Both look great to me! X
+Caroline Thomas thanks Caroline, I'm glad you liked them!
I like the cold pressed paper, my go to white pen is possibly a posca pen.
Thank you! 💖🎨
I like them very much
Maravilloso trabajo. 👏👏👏
+marinaclarita - Coloring with pencils muchas gracias! ❤️
Glad I discovered you on UA-cam! Look forward to more videos from you!
Big welcome Linda! Thank you for being here!
I can’t pick I really like both💛
thank you!
I think I prefer the cold press. But bot are beautiful.
Thank you Annette.
Belle découverte merci
Very beautiful abstracts Kim! Your channel just came up on my UA-cam feed today so I’m a brand spanking new subscriber. Looking forward to watching your other videos. My favorite pens are the Uniball Signo and Sakura Micron. Thank you for sharing. Blessings to you!
Thanks Rita. Big welcome and thanks for being here!
Awesome! Thank you so much!
Glad you liked it!
Love them both but the cold press just creeps ahead. Just found you love your style. Will be watching more..🌹
Thank you Pauline, I am glad you are here!
I like a lot of abstract watercolor style. What you want to add at the end is sublime.
Thank you for sharing. I subscribe right away.
Welcome and I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Posca Pens are really nice and come in different sizes.
Thank you Donna.
Hello, thank you so much for your tutorials. I do a geometric version (I’m a perfectionist so free hand will drive me nuts!) of your watercolour doodles and I swear by posca pens both the broad and fine tip versions. I’ve tried some cheaper versions of acrylic paint pens and these have been successful but did on a occasion did blob the paint rather than glide it out, this mainly happened if I didn’t prime the pen properly first. I find gel pens do tend to clog and run out very quickly, I’ve never had much joy from them but I have bought cheap ones. You get what you pay for!!
Lovely! Thanks for sharing Serendipity.
I love both of them!😍
The white pen I have found the best so far is called gelli roll 10 from officeworks. I only discovered it by accident when I went to buy a marker and I'm loving using it. 😊
Nice..think I prefer the hot press
Both are gorgeous! I really love your videos, as I have just found you.
Thank you Mary, I am so glad you have been enjoying them!
For white ink, I like to use airbrush paint. I use Createx but I am sure any airbrush paint will do. Air brush paints are very highly pigmented liquid acrylics. I don't paint with an airbrush, just use them as regular paints.
Great suggestion Cecillia, thank you!
Awwwww I like you, you have dry hands like me!!!
I am enjoying your videos very much. My favourite white pen is a Uniball Signo white gel pen and a jar of Dr. Ph Martins Bleed-proof white that is great. I happened to get a jar of Daler Rowney Bleed-proff white "LUMA" opaque watercolour from a friend but I haven't tried it yet.
Thank you Brenda, I am glad you are enjoying the videos. And thanks for the ink suggestions. I've not tried either of those so I shall keep my eyes out for them!
Look like so beautiful.I impressed your videos. Picture shows are really awesome.Like##119 !!!!
Thank you!
That’s nice and cool. Thanks for sharing your tutorial and your tips. ☺️💕👍🏻
Hello 👋🏻 I’m your newest follower.☺️👍🏻
God bless and please keep safe always.☺️🙏🏻
Js found your channel..Your videos are very relaxing to watch..thx for sharing
I am so glad you like them and thank you for watching!
OMG these are goregous! Thanks for the inspiration! I really have to try to find out my own version of this! :) I THINK I like the Hot Press best. But it is a tough choice. Regarding white ink: I am still looking myself, so I look forward to check any comments you've got and will get about that!
Oh the quest for white ink! All of us are still looking! I'm glad you enjoyed these two pieces!
Hi Kim. I really like the hot press version. But also love the design on the cold press. With white inks, well, I think they have a personal vendetta against me! More than once my posca has let me down. Love my sharpie and the signo.. But I guess it depends on the surface is. X
+Karen Toms you and me both Karen! I think I've found a good one then it dies on me after a couple of uses! I like the Sharpie too but it is really hard to find for me sometimes. *Sigh! Glad you liked the projects today, thank you!
I like the vivid colors on the cold press but the texture you created on the hot press is just gorgeous. It looks like it's underwater.
When it comes to white ink, I always come back to a the cheap sakura gel pens. They work well on most mediums - however, not so well of certain inks. I tend to use posca pens as well. I have not tried any of the liquid inks yet, seems like a bit of an investment for me that only dabble a little bit. X)
Thank you! I'm glad you liked it! It is hard finding a good white that works on lots of surfaces isn't it?! It does seem to be a big investment finding the right one!
Well if i Had to choose i'd say the cold press... I have not found a favorite pen. Thinking of trying a posca. Really enjoyed the video. You have a wonderful speaking style!... subscribed.
Thank you so much Valerie, I am really glad you enjoyed it!
Tend to use Posca white wine pens as I find gel pens a but difficult over paint and a bit 'skippy' if you know what I mean!
I do know what you mean! *Sigh*😂
Loving your energy and you beautiful work so please lots more Alrene Fischer from South Africa Cape Town x🙏
Thank you!
Great Painting, can't decide on fave. Also looking for a good white over water color. I just bought a Sharpie Oil Paint Fine Point. Will see if better than gel pens.
Let me know how you get on with the Sharpie oil-based pen! I would love to know!
Really enjoyed this. I would love to find a white pen that keeps working and shows up on top of paint or collage. I have used Posca paint pen but it works for a very short time. Gel pens ditto. Very frustrating.
Hi. I find both pieces to be very beautiful. Dr.PH Martin has a white ink in a jar that is supposed to be the very best opaque white ink around. I have not bought any yet but it is on my list of must have's. hope that helps. I love watching your videos.
Thank you and thanks for the suggestion that's great. I'm now using the Schminke Areo color Acrylic ink Supra-white which is a great opaque (I tested it out at the end of this video: bit.ly/2GLLmGM if you want a look!).
More watercolour please❤️
Did you see my latest video is a watercolour? And I have another coming next Friday 😃
@@KimDellow Thank you - looking forward to this.
@@KimDellow Kim fellow watercolour
these are both lovely but i prefer hot press and still trying to obtain a good white pen myself
Thank you 💜
Copic white ink in a bottle, and uniball Signo white pen
Thanks Dawn.
Thanks
Thank you!
I love the Uni-ball Signo ink pen. I've used it for years, and it's my favorite white pen by far. It's so hard to find a good white. I also have the one you used, and it worked well the first time, but I never could get it to write again, which is so frustrating! I also like Dr. Ph Martin's Bleed Proof White. It seems to cover pretty well.
I'm sorry but trying to choose which one I like better is just torture...so I have to answer both. Don't hate me! Lol I love your very wet brush technique - now I've got to pull out my watercolors thank you very much. 😉 One thing I really appreciate about you is the way you inspire me. You get me to pull out all of my supplies - and if I don't have something, to buy it - and use them. (My wallet doesn't know what to think.) No one else has inspired me actually to take action to go that next step...and for that I thank you. ❤
Thank you Katherine and sorry to your wallet 😂😂 Thanks for the Dr. Ph suggestions, I need to try it out. I can't remember which pen I used here now, I would have to go check out the video description, but white pens are still such a challenge *sigh. I have kind of fallen in love with the vanilla pastel one I have been using quite a lot recently and that has taken over from my white pen in a lot of places.
And you can pick both! There are no rules 🤣 I am just glad you feel like playing, it makes me happy to know that you are inspired!
Kim long time no speak and hope you’re ok. Love these and you’ve inspired me to have a go. Hugs, Dawny xxx
Hiya Dawny, hope you are doing ok! And glad you liked it! Hope you have a nice weekend.
Kim Dellow yes all good here thank you. Just had my first cataract done so I’ll have better vision once the other one has been done and I can get back to a bit of colouring again. Enjoy your weekend x
I only just discovered you, but I love your videos so I hope you keep doing them! Pens ... white pens don't like me. I like the Signo the best, and this is just weird, but the ink disappears. I'll buy one, use it a few times and when I go back the pen is half empty or all empty. I discovered laying them flat, not upright in a jar seems to help, but it's depressing having to keep buying them all the time.
+MademoiselleRose40 ahh thank you! I'm glad you are enjoying them! I have the exact same problem with white pens they work well for a couple of goes then Pooof! Don't work! It's annoying isn't it?! 😂
Haha, still on the hunt for the perfect white pen!
I like the hot press, don’t know why
Thank you Jennifer!
Hi. Thanks so much for sharing this. I’ve just been trawling EBay for a fine perm black marker and there are soooooo many to choose from. Could I ask you which one you are using? I would like to try this as it’s something I may just about be able to attempt. Won’t be as good as yours but hey ho. I’ll still enjoy the process. Keep them coming. x
Hiya Susan, sorry for the late reply and I am glad you liked the video. If you are still looking for the pen I list everything that I use in the video description. Hope that helps!
I have been so disappointed in all the gel ink pens I have used. And Micron pens. Usually, the ink doesn’t flow properly. I try keeping a scrap paper along side to clean my nib.
Arteza, Sakura, and even Gelli roll pens have all left me still searching for “THE” one. Any suggestions??
It is a constant search isn't it?! So currently I am favouring the Uni Pin fine line markers for pen work on paper and watercolour and Molotow paint pens for pen work on acrylic paint. I much prefer the Uni Pin to the Microns, the ink flows nicely, it is a lovely strong black and the nibs seem to last longer I think. Hope that helps!
WoW, love your creations ! I am new to your channel and new to water Color. I see that you put salt….how long do you leave the salt there….do you remove it all at the end or you leave fragment on top….what is the purpose of salt
Thank you, I am glad you enjoyed it. So salt changes the way the water in the watercolour paint dries so it leaves a really interesting texture behind. The longer you leave the salt the more likely it is to stick to the page, but you can generally always brush most of it off. So you have to make a judgement call and it comes with just using it and seeing what happens.
The one on the left
Thank you!
You should try embellishing with gold ink.
When I want to I do.
@@KimDellow that wasn't a judgment, no offense intended. I will refrain in the future. Blessings to you.
Don't worry Jo. Happy creating.
Love both of them 👏👏 I’ve been an artist for almost 20 years and I am STILL looking for a quality white pen 😞☹️ however my cheap old gel pens work better than my Liquitex paint pens & Derwent Graphik liners so I’ll stick with those. If you find a good one let us know 👍
Ooo now I've not tried the white liquitex paint pen! But perhaps it isn't worth it? I think I might have found a potential candidate for a new white pen! I am just trying it out now. If it works I'll let you know!
Kim Dellow i found the liquitex pen picks up the colour underneath. I laid it over blue and ended up with pale blue dots 😩
i have just recently realised that i am a doodler (is that a word?) i absolutely love the spiral circle. but then both are good.
Yay! Fellow doodler! If it isn't a word, it is now!
@@KimDellow 💞🙏
