Helen, I would like you to know how much I appreciate your excellent tutorials without having to purchase a subscription. It is rare to find this type of unpaid full botanical floral tutorial. I enjoy watching your videos as they are so well explained. Thank you again for sharing your excellent tutorials with all of us.
Thank you. And it is my absolute pleasure. We have over 100 videos now on our UA-cam channel so dive in and help yourself 😀
Stunning! Instead of swatching on paper and wasting pigment, one could get a Caran D'ache palette that has a rough and smooth side, and scribble the pencil on it. It is only $8.
Thank you. Ah yes, I’ve heard of that. Will look into it. X
True. Love mine
Absolutely incredible skills. I've had a box of Inktense pencils for around two decades and I've never even opened them. I just thought that they were like a flat gouache nothing like you have produced.
I'm so chuffed that I stumbled across your video and you've made an old man very happy. I've just finished a pen and ink drawing for our kitchen... Guess what I'm going to use instead of my array of watercolour paints. I'm fare excited now, your video has made my weekend.
I always thought that once the Inktense has been wet and dried it was permanent, but they're more flexible and can be adapted slightly! Thank you so much for your video I usually skip through UA-cam videos but yours I've watched every second of it and enjoyed watching immensely. I have given it the BIG THUMBS UP. Take care 👍😷👍
Oh that’s wonderful. Music to my years. So glad you found it useful. I have an Inktense playlist here that you may also like ua-cam.com/play/PLs4H0qOC8epWr8qXUhRTw0-fTdV6ifmKJ.html&si=vOKTjtGXgc28O5j0
This is one of the prettiest pansies painting I’ve even seen. Just lovely. Rae, you are so clever, not just the paintings, but the composition and quality of the videos you produce week after week. Sigh, potentially more art supplies now added to my wish list. 💖😘😀
Aww That’s so kind of you Means a lot x
Beautiful! I’m looking forward to seeing your video!
How did I miss this one! Fantastically beautiful. Thank you.
Thanks Beth. We have another one Luke this launching today x
That dark chocolate + red violet = what a GORGEOUS colour!!! 👏👏👏 Skilfully done Helen!! I am impressed as always!! And the purple vs. yellow is such a powerful contrast, too!! Brilliant work ❤️❤️💪👏👍🤗😃🐝
Thank you Dr bee. I loved painting this. Inktense are amazing. Have you tried them? 😘❤️
@@helencampbell Not yet, but I am VERY tempted and inspired by your work, that's for sure!!! And did you know - the dolphin art on the tin is also by one of my fav artists, Lisa Clough - she's also on YT, and her channel name is Lachri Fine Art - she is also amazing like you!! 😘👏👍🤗😃🐝
Aww great. I’ll take a look 😀❤️
I can't believe how real this pansy looks. Your tutorials are amazing and keep us coming back. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you very much
Love it!!! Love it!!!! 🥰🥰🥰
Aww thank you Helen 😀😀
I’m in love with this! What an amazing medium! I love the inktense pencils and it’s amazing what they can do. Thanks Rae!
Hi Wendy. Thank you 😀
I’m so glad I found you, I really need to watch you work your flowers. Just on time!
Thank you. We have watercolour, Inktense and gouache tutorials x
Wow! That’s absolutely beautifully done Helen and thanks for sharing.☺️❤️
Have a lovely day.🙏🏻
Thank you. 😀
Thank you so much for this beautiful video!!! I have a full set of Inktense and I am learning how to enjoy them! I would love to see even more videos with these gorgeous pencils!!!
Thank you Susan. We’ve more on the way. I love them too x
This is a fantastic way to use these pencils, loved it! Thank you 😍
Aww thank you. Glad you like it
I really like this method of painting with inktense, this way gives much more control. Thank you 😊 👍🏾♥️
Thank you Patricia. I love using them.
Beautiful! Brilliant!!
Thank you Ashley 😀
I have never seen work so beautiful! Very meticulously drawn.
Thank you. That’s very kind of you
love it
Thank you 😊
Such a gorgeous delicate painting :)
Thank you very much x
So beautiful and realistic. Can't wait to try this 🥰
Thank you very much. I really enjoyed painting this one
Great video and some good tips. I absolutely adore inktense of any kind. I have pencils pans and blocks and I love them all for different things. This was very informative. Thank you
Thank you very much. Which do you prefer? I think I’m going with pencils
Great pencils the inktense paints are great quality, the artwork is great.
Thank you. They are great to work with
What s great idea, to swatch the colors on the side and pick up the paint like that!
Thank you. It works really well
Very lovely work! Good instruction also. Thank you.
That you Lee. My absolute pleasure
So far the prettiest piece I've seen using the Inktense. I have been until I watched this, unenthused by most of the artwork I've seen using this medium. Beautiful work Helen!
Thank you so much 😊😀
Love this. Thankyou Rae.
Thanks Audrey. Glad you like it 😀
I’m an x floral designer & that’s the best pansy I’ve ever seen! You are amazingly talented artist & wonderful teacher … thank you for the inspiration!
Thank you so much 😊
This is absolutely stunning. I absolutely love that the painting isn't photorealistic and that it actually had life and vibrancy when compared to the photo. Excellent tutorial from a super excellent teacher. Thank you so much for sharing. 🙏🏽🤗💖✨💐
Thank you very much Ingrid 😘
Thanks for teatching us! This is a beautiful work. 😍😘😘
Thank you very much Teresa
Seems like if one does not like watercolor using these pencils in this manner is the same as using watercolor pans but even more of a process. Beautiful work.
Thank you. Yes very much so, plus they are very buildable
Thank you for this tutorial💜 I rarely.... never use my Inktense for light delicate colours so this was an unique but enjoyable experience for me💜🌹💜🌹
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it 😍
This is great! I got a tin of intense pencils a few years ago but never used them. I will be trying this technique out 🙂
Brilliant! We’ve lots more Inktense tutorials on the way x
Thanks!
Very pretty. I’ll be trying that.
Great. Let me know how you get on
I love this tutorial. Inktens pencils are amazing. Please do more tutorials with Inktens. Thanks Rae for your wonderful tutorials.
❤️❤️❤️
Ooh you are in luck. We’ve another ready to launch. I think 1st week June but definitely doing more
I have learned a lot from this video. Great tips of how to use these pencils (which I have). One of the best tips is how to layer these , and understanding that adding the pencil directly while the paper is wet makes it difficult to move the color. Thanks for your well explained tutorials.
Thank you very much 😀
Beautiful
Thank you
I have the Inktense pencils, and I had struggle to do delicate tones, this tutorial has been very helpful, because I am still understanding them, I loved how you paint on paper with pencils, and activate them with water, it's a great idea, many thanks!!❤ 🙂💗
Thank you. Glad you l found it helpful x
Beautiful work Helen ❤
Thank you Sue x
This is so lovely and delicate!
Thank you Ruth. I really loved using the pencils
@@helencampbell I was looking for Inktense pencils last week but there were none, just sketching pencils and watercolor pencils (which I already have). I’m going to try this technique with my watercolor pencils and see how it goes.
That’s great Ruth. Let me know how you get on
This is the video I needed in my life! I love the intense pencils but they are sometimes TOO intense - this is such a great technique to get those more muted tones. Thank you for sharing
Thank you. Glad you found it useful. I’ll definitely be doing more Inktense in the near future
Good...
Oh my gosh! This is so beautiful! And I tell myself, maybe I can do this?!? Maybe? Your tutorials are so helpful and easy to follow that maybe I actually can do this. It’s overcoming the inside voice in my head that says…no, you can’t 😢
Oh you absolutely can. Small steps. You got this and thank you x
Lovely 👍
Thank you Di 😀
This is beautiful. I painted a blue ginger flower using this method with my Inktense a few weeks ago. It came out beautiful. It is so important to build up these layers little by little to get the subtle undertones. It was a long process and took a bit of patience. But that is really the kind of painting that I like at times. I will post it in the group. Very beautiful painting. Thank you so much. :)
My pleasure. Thank you Sheila 😀
Hi Sheila. I’ve declined the post on the group as only tutorials are permitted BUT you can post on our other group, botanical art lovers 😀 BTW it is gorgeous. Loved it
@@helencampbell I am sorry - I am newer to the group and while I did read the rules when I joined, I didn't realize that I couldn't post similar paintings using the same technique. I completely respect that and apologize to you. I certainly wasn't trying to spam the group, as it was a personal painting I did. I just love seeing your paintings and group. It is very inspiring to watch you, as I said. I guess I mixed up my 'group rules' as I am in a couple of painting groups. Please accept my apologies. And thank you!
@@SheilaLandry gosh I know. Not a problem at all. X
So very delicate and pretty💜 This will be a huge challenge for me as I always use Inktense in very bright and bold colours💜 Thank you so very much for using Inktense in your tutorials now🌹 I really appreciate it 💜🌹
Hi. My pleasure. I love using them. We have an Inktense block tutorial launching in about four weeks. Bold colours too 😀❤️
@@helencampbell how exciting😻😻 And after that there's the wonderful Inktense Paint Pan Studio Set 24 with new colours to try out😁😁😁💜🌹
Arrghhh don’t tempt me 😂
I get good results with Derwent Inktense on Strathmore Bristol Vellum 500 series paper. It is necessary to keep a light touch with the water. Dry as soon as possible with each application.
Thank you
Awesome
Thank you 😊
🤗🤗🤗🌹🌹🌹🤗🤗🤗
Have you thought of doing a part 2 to flowers where you haven’t painted a leaf by adding that leaf. Hope to see you do more in Inktense. As always lovely work
Hi. Great idea. Btw we have another Inktense tutorial here and another launch in June ua-cam.com/video/5g-PeuyPL3o/v-deo.html
That is TRUE MAGIC. Brilliant. Do you have any books published?
Thank you very much. No books x
Hey Helen
Stunning pansy! Finally can use my large set of Inktense,yay!
Could I possibly use HP paper as I dont have mixed media paper?
Thanks for all the learning you share.
Hi. Yes absolutely. BTW we have another Inktense tutorial here
ua-cam.com/video/5g-PeuyPL3o/v-deo.html
Beautiful. I have such trouble with my watercolor pencils. I end up with such a streaky look! And it’s not the quality of the pencil; it’s me.
Give it a try and let me know how you get on 😀
Thanks so much Helen always learn alot when watching you. Would the painting look much different if painted with watercolour pencils? I know you said the inktense were more vibrant but cant you get that with WC pencils too by adding more colour?
Hi Jenny. The watercolour pencils are less vibrant but absolutely yes! Do use them. It’s the same application process. Let me know how you get on x
@@helencampbell thanks so much for your quick reply Helen. As I dont use facebook I cant share but I will give it a go tomorrow..off to bed now in Oz have a great day cheers 🦘🦘🦘🦘
@@helencampbell hi Helen well I spent several plus hours with my little pansy and my watercolour pencils. I must admit it was not as easy as you make it out to be. I found it particularly difficult to blend the black to grey either having too much or not enough water and because you skipped bits I was so busy working I missed what else you were doing so probably ended up watching you 3-4 times ha ha. Getting that pale pink wash at the start. Of course it took me a while to go "hey it doesnt have to be exactly the same as Helens pansy they come in all colours"..then when it was dry I touched it up with some watercolour paint rather than continuing with the pencils, thank goodness for white gauche too. Then touched it up again with coloured pencils later. I am happy with the end result. If anything I would say to people not to stress and overwork it...relax and do your own thing...hand drawing the pansy was the easiest bit. Next time I will do the whole thing with watercolour paints and another in coloured pencils and compare them. Thank for the great workout Helen. I look forward to watching more of your work. Have a great day regards from Western Australia 🇦🇺 🦘🦘🦘🦘
Aww I love this. Yes. No stress and never compare. Keep at it x
Can you use ink tense on water color board?
I haven’t tried but I’d think so yes
Thanks
Is the paper heavy weight? Hot press or cold?
Hi. It’s 200 gsm cold pressed but any will do. I did find the mixed media better though
@@helencampbell thank you. Also, I’ve watched both your ink tense tutorials and I’m curious on the latest video it looks like you did swathes on a separate piece of paper then wetted the sample then used what you wetted to apply on the drawing. On your first tutorial you painted directly to the drawing itself. I may be wrong but can you describe which to do?
Hi. That’s correct in both counts. I did exactly what you say on the second tutorial but I also did a little of that technique on the first one too
@@helencampbell thanks. I assumed that once the sample is dried it could not blend anymore. Guess I was wrong.
It’s can’t be rewetted. The swatches were still damp. The rewetting can only be done when the pencil scribbles haven’t been ‘used’
Xq no subtitulan para poder entender apropiadamente la explicación???
We are looking into it
@@helencampbell muchas gracias!!!!
De nada x
🙏🙏👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Lol thank you 😊
I love watching your videos ! But can you just do us one little favor🥺 !? Can you please either leave the background music on ? Instead of turning it on when you stop talking and then turning it off when you start speaking. You can leave it on at a very moderate level as you are speaking! Please cause if it's driving Me crazy... I Know others probably feel the same way 😒(they just won't say it)
