Painting With A Stick - Ink & Watercolour

[@janetwalsh7025]

Love your techniques with the stick! Absolutely !❤

[@ChrisStephenArt]

Thanks Janet. Much appreciated 😊

[@sgv323]

Thanks, Chris! This is such an interesting technique. I tried this and had a lot of fun with it. I’m relatively new to your channel and am really enjoying spending time with your videos and learning from you. As always, thank you for being so generous with your time and your talent.

[@ChrisStephenArt]

Thanks Sewall. It is a nice technique, you can have a lot of fun with it !!

[@Midgy21747]

I love this. I am a huge fan of water colours and inks. I loved the painting even at the very different stages.

[@ChrisStephenArt]

Thank you, Anna. To be honest, I possibly overworked this one, I should have stopped a bit earlier. It’s too much of a fun process!!

[@Sam34292]

A really creative version of line and wash. Monotone and wash!
I loved that you started with the dark skeleton of the piece.
I remember my art teacher at high school showing all sorts of objects that could be used to make a mark.
I can still remember him using pieces of so many objects to use in painting.
Well done.

[@ChrisStephenArt]

Thanks Bonnie. I agree with your art teacher, anything that makes an interesting mark can be used. It’s also fun to experiment

[@roseseeno2557]

So calming, feels like a post EMDR session!

[@ChrisStephenArt]

Thanks very much. Glad you liked it

Thanks Dave !!

I have to say, your twig painting is better than my brush painting, nice one, food for thought, thanks

[@ChrisStephenArt]

Thanks mate. It’s a fun technique

[@sandradonofrio413]

I enjoy sketching with a stick or twig. New to me: using wet paper and fashioning a point. Could try using both ends of the twig to create different marks. Must do.

[@ChrisStephenArt]

Thanks for watching !!

[@elizabethevans702]

This was fascinating to watch. Much talent you have, sir! The effects of the ink on wet paper were incredible and then the watercolor….wow.

[@ChrisStephenArt]

Thanks, Elizabeth. It’s a fun technique !!

[@leonidasspanos20]

[@arlenemurphy804]

This is so beautiful. Love watching. Have you ever done any voice overs? You are very talented. Thank you for sharing

[@ChrisStephenArt]

Thanks. I get asked that question a lot. I’m working on a course of fully narrated lessons, not sure when they will be done, but I will post some on UA-cam

[@NormaDerr-nv4cn]

Your work is inspirational. Side question, what palette are you using?

[@ChrisStephenArt]

Thank you. The flat palette is a printing tray, the watercolour palette is made by Frank Herring

[@pascaleaufauvre7928]

I like very much. Very interesting this technique with à stick. What kind of ink do you use, please ? Indian ink or acrylic ink ?

[@ChrisStephenArt]

Thanks Pascale, glad you liked it. I used Indian ink in this one, but acrylic ink works just fine

[@pascaleaufauvre7928]

@@ChrisStephenArt Thanks Christopher for your quick reply ! I’m going to try.

Класс!!!

[@ChrisStephenArt]

[@cathaire]

IMHO should have stopped about halfway through, end result overdone to me. Fascinating technique with ink and water though

Each to their own I guess. Thanks for watching!!
