    Hello friends! This video is kinda old now, but it was brought to my attention that the inks included in this box/video are technically a Calligraphy Ink not an Acrylic Ink like I stated in the video, this is description from the Roher & Klingner website: "Rohrers pigmented calligraphy ink is produced with modern raw materials, namely acrylic resin and highly pigmented colorants."
    Regardless, the techniques I talk about still apply!

      as one who has done the online classes with my children through various avenues, I will agree with you! The amount of assignments and work expected of my children who were only in pre k and kindergarten at the time, and again we attempted this in first and kindergarten but anyways it was just unreal the expectations set for completion each day for such small children. Going to school never returned them with as much of an expectation of completing daily works/homework. just wanted to throw out an agreement from personal experience and relay my sympathy. Hang in there! (not to sound like a conspiracy quack but in all my experiences it really felt as though it was almost a constant intentional deterrent from schooling children at home.... and now in this current situation we're all in that boat experiencing those unrealistic school work loads. maybe people realizing this will spur some change. Good luck! )

    If you struggle to get the adhesive off the edges of the paper you can always run a black brush marker along the edge. I'm mainly thinking of the brush marker Faber-Castell makes, you'd have to be super careful.

  • @vilwarin5635
    @vilwarin5635 4 роки тому +1

    I find using ink over watercolor paper very similar to using hot pressed watercolor paper. Is very difficult to lift the color from that paper, and its very smooth and satinated. I find myself using the wet&wet technique on that paper as you did here with the inks! Maybe I should try using ink in the future, because I like the effect they have.
