Of course I hit the like button before watching! I already know it’s going to be good.. 😁👍🏻 Inktense is ❤️!
Aww thank you x
Beautiful! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Thank you x
Thank you Helen for this lovely tutorial with inktense pencils! Very helpful demonstration of what to do to get good colours. For example, at 6:36: the two pencil marks blended with water, giving us a deep golden browny colour… to me was a great tip! 😀I love your style of teaching, and hearing you “smile” when you are narrating. I know I will be smiling throughout my own painting time following this video!
Aww thank you so much Marie. Glad you like the tutorial. I love Inktense so this was a fun one to make
That mauve colour though 😍😍😍😍 I just LOVE your work SO MUCH Helen!! You always impress and amaze me!!! Watching a new video from you every week is just such a pleasure - thank-you for sharing your beautiful skills and talents with us 😘🤗👍🙌🐝❤👏👏👏
Thank you Dr Bee. I loved making this one. Nice and easy. No stress 😀❤️😘
I just love your Inktense painting lessons. They are really fun and relaxing. Thank you so much!
Thank you very much Sheila
Lovely watercolor tutorial! I like thine layers with paints!! gorgeous simple watercolor!!
Thank you very much
This is great. Good to another way to use wc pencils.
Thanks Holly
Loved seeing you at the start of the video. The clover is so pretty. Well done, as always. 💖 Now we just need a bee 🐝 to go with the clover ☘️
Thank you Carroll. That’s very kind of you x. Thinking of doing a bee but we do have one. I’ll link it here ua-cam.com/video/DGYPOGR0lpU/v-deo.html
I really love what you are doing with the Inktense pencils!
Thank you very much Eileen. I love working with them
A hint in case you don’t know yet: Caran D’Arche textured acrylic palette! I also use it for my colored Chinese ink sticks instead of my usual grinding dish (I had 3 grinding dishes, but gave 2 away. I use my antique dish my first tutor sent me from China for black ink sticks only). That acrylic palette has been so helpful, I now have 2 of them! 😁
Thank you. Are they on Jackson’s website please?
@@helencampbell I got mine on Amazon, but I’ll check Jackson’s . Just fyi, I also combine some of the colors right on the palette…like I said, I like it so much I got 2 😂. My daughter is using it for her regular watercolor pencils…although I think I got her addicted to inktense. My traditional Chinese chips are also permanent. When my daughter and best friend got me into learning western style..I was shocked at some of the differences…mainly with paper, of course, but also with paint. I’ve also given up on all Western brushes except the quill brushes my tutor sent me from Germany. I think it’s just that in 8 years I became accustomed to and comfortable with my Chinese brushes. Several have deep sentimental meaning as my late son stayed with and assisted a traditional brush maker in China.
Anyways, let me go check and find the proper name for you!
@@elaineg60 thank you very much Elaine - appreciate it x
@@helencampbell I’m so sorry..I replied and it disappeared. I couldn’t find it on Jackson’s . Its called Caran D'ache Palette Aquarelle. It measures 10.43 x 5.12 x 0.16 inches and has a rough textured side and a smooth side. My best friend bought a couple for her water-soluble oil and chalk pastels; says they’ve been a game changer for her too. It gave me an idea…I can’t afford a 3D printer, but imagine something like my ink stone I gave away-about 3 in x 6 in, made of resin or acrylic instead of stone, 1/2in sides with the middle part slanted downwards and the rough texture on the top part. 😂. Me and my imagination…my best friend says I’ve turned into a mad scientist in my old age with my experiments with different paints & single pigments, plus traditional Chinese binders and mediums; TRYING to find good alternatives to traditional Chinese paints-which have gone down so far in quality the past few years as these 200-400yr old companies focus more on expanding into western paints; there’s somewhat of an uprising both in China and other Asian countries among traditional painters and professors. Some have switched almost completely to Western paints. The problem is finding Western paints that A. Don’t destroy the very thin and delicate Xuan paper and B. That can stand up to traditional wet-mounting (eg: on silk scrolls). After my precious son passed away a little over a year ago, we decided to find ways to try and bring the techniques and materials together and introduce more westerners to the 2000yr history of traditional chinese painting and calligraphy. My sons entire life was all about traveling and learning and teaching people about different cultures. We wanted to carry on his legacy in ways we are able to..my best friend a 69yr old retired art professor who has taught around the world; my eldest, a singer, songwriter, graphic artist and painter…and me, a disabled former doctor and researcher (AKA “mad scientist”.. except with viruses and bacteria instead of pigments and mediums)…who is legally blind and loaded/blessed? With other major health issues. We’re quite the trio! 😂. Speaking of…Liz (friend) is texting me asking if I’ve started my very complicated and detailed Gongbi style (a very detailed Chinese painting done on extremely thin, sized Xuan paper) painting of a Tiger handing over 2023 to a bowing rabbit. I’m going to attempt all but the background “wash” with inktense. That’s how I found your videos. If you don’t know it, the technique of adding a small amount of color than drawing it out and layering- is exactly the technique we use in Gongbi painting. The problem has been using these western materials on my “cicada wing” paper. It’s MUCH more difficult..even impossible on some raw (unsized) or semi-sized papers to draw out the color. It sits where you put it, and that’s it. You can’t use masking, wet-on-wet is impossible as is trying to lift color. Even just a micro-dot of too much ink, paint or water can turn into a Rorschach ink blot. It becomes, as my wonderful tutor explains; “part of the energy of the painting”….OR you just ball it up and play soccer with your kitty who is obsessed with the TCM herbs they add to Chinese ink. Time for a nap so I can work on the painting tonight with Fiona, my wonderful tutor. Like myself, she still has a lot of paint produced before the quality went down so badly. HOWEVER, we’re determined to find alternatives for students (she’s Chinese but teaches in Brussels) and artists who can’t find quality paints. 🤷🏼♀️
Thank you so much for taking the time to write. I’m so so sorry for your loss.
This is a very interesting piece of writing, and thank you so much for sharing it with me. I’d love to see the tiger when it’s finished. Take care x
Beautiful flower painting🌹❤
Thank you so much 😊
Thank you so much for the tutorial! I have to try these pencils...they are really intense and versatile colors.
Thank you. I love these pencils. Very versatile too
Love this! 💜
Thank you Rachel
beautiful detail work!🧡
Thank you 😊
I love how you use the paper as a mixing palette 🙂
Thank you. These are very versatile pencils x
@@helencampbell Indeed they are!
Hi there Helen. I don't have Inktense pencils, but I do have watercolor pencils. What is the difference in how they act on paper? Thank you.
Hi. They sort of act in the same way but unlike watercolour are permanent when dry. You can still do this tutorial without them by using watercolour. Works just as well
Merci beaucoup 😊🤩🌸
Thank you 😊
Helen you create & teach such lovely paintings. I’ve wrestled w/buying full inktense set…such a spendy one, and I do have the 24 set already. So think I’m just going to assemble an open stock list from your videos to supplement. Just wanted you to know that Cult Pens has the Caran d'Ache Plexiglas Blending Palette [CD42445 = product code]. I have one & another in my cart as they are so handy. Thank you for all the tips and tutorials.
Thank you for your kind comments. I’ll take a look at those too
Oh wow. I’ve just realised what that is. I just get one. Thank you
🌞🌞🌞
😊
I love that you’re doing more of these watercolor pencil videos : ) Lol I tried using inktense for that African daisy or whatever its called and it was a disaster of epic proportions lol I’m going to step back and do more loose stuff for awhile as I do whenever I get frustrated that my detailed stuff looks like garbage lol
Oh I bet it doesn’t! Keep going 😘
@@helencampbell Oh if I had a FB account I’d show you and you’d cringe lol I think next time I’m going to try a glazing technique instead of trying to mix each color and blend it all together. That’s my weak point because I end up overworking things trying to get a nice blend. However if I see orange in say, a petal, and it’s mostly pink maybe I’ll just do a yellow undertone and the pink will turn orange when I glaze over. I’ll try the flower again someday. It sucks I’m SO confident in freehand sketching out the flowers but whenever I add color I feel like I ruin it and wish I had just left it a sketch.
@@AbraCassandraCrafts the glazing technique is great. I prefer glazing sometimes particularly with flowers. And I definitely would it cringe lol. It is all a learning curve x
Yea lol I’m used to (or was used to) acrylic paint. Painted with it years ago and stopped suddenly. Watercolor is definitely different but I think it’s more forgiving. You can’t really go back and fix things on acrylic. You can reactivate the watercolor…but sometimes…it ends up a muddy mess of disappointment lol
I don’t get on very well with acrylic lol
thank you for the best video on how to use inktense pencils! I have the entire set and have struggled with getting light colors! This is the first video where I can now understand what I was doing wrong! What paper did you use for the swatching of pencil colors? As soon as I do that the color stains and won't lift. Thank you Helen!!
Thank you so much. For the swatches I used 300 gsm watercolour paper but any will do
I already have watercolour pencils and watrecolours, are Inktense that much different? I'm wondering whether to buy some.
When you make your little paper palette, can you reactivate the puddles again and again or is it permanent once dried?
Are Intense pencils easier to control for fine details than watercolours?
Hi. Inktense are quite different to other watercolour pencils because they are ink and therefore more vibrant.
Once you reactivate the little paper pallet, you can’t reactivate it again because once wet and then dry it becomes permanent. You will need to do the little squiggle again to reactivate the paint to pick it up. If that makes sense - and they are certainly easier to control for finer details than water colour because it’s entirely up to you, how much you apply and it doesn’t lift off in the way that watercolour does
@@helencampbell Thanks Rae, I will buy some and give it a try
Thank you, your painting is lovely, but, I don't understand how you got the sketch onto the paper at the beginning?
Hi. Thank you. I do mention it in the video, but we have a separate video here if you’d like to see it in-depth ua-cam.com/video/S79Xc-UQdiM/v-deo.html
@@helencampbell Just watched that video. Thank you.
My pleasure. Did you find it useful?
@@helencampbell Yes, very helpful.
Thank you
Good morning Helen, are you going to release this to Patreon?
Hi. No, all of our Patreon to tutorials are exclusive to Patreon and are much more in depth. The UA-cam tutorials are in their entirety and full length and so Are not needed on Patreon. The Patreon tutorials are botanical and cover a lot more detail
@@helencampbell I am on of your Patreons. I watched the video today. I was hoping this would be added to Patreon.
Hi. There’s no need as it’s already full length. The UA-cam ones won’t be repeated on Patreon as I want to give exclusive tutorials to my patrons
First!
Yay 😀
