Thank you for this great ink/sketch I love it .I did this along with you as I have timed myself yet .and 😅 what a difference ,perspective off, and I didn't like it, but at the end i am happy the details made a huge difference .please do more
I use both Carbon ink and the Derwent Line and Wash kit as well! I think they work great together. I see you have snuck some extra pans in! I should really do that as well. This set needs a punchier green as Meadow Graphitint is a little on the pale side for my tastes. Really loved this demo. That was all the time you needed to really capture the essence of the place!
I love this! Very brave of you to attempt a subject which is quite detailed and complex in perspective. But you did it so well. I live in Oxford and know the bridge. Might have a go myself, not plein air but from a photo and timed as you did. Thank you!
I’ve learned that perfection is not the key. Loose drawings and wash is quite beautiful! I’m learning a lot! I checked fountain pens on Amazon and for a cheap one with a bottle of ink it’s $50.00. I’ve already spent a small fortune on supplies. But I’d sure like a fountain pen!
Enjoyed this! FWIW, Noodler's ink has waterproof inks. Lexington Gray is one - - it's pretty dark. They have some ratings with their MANY inks to show water resistance. Another waterproof ink is "Document Ink", and De Atramentis has good choices/colors. In the US, Goulet Pens carries it. I can't speak for Britain.
yes, we get Noodlers and document ink! I haven’t used Noodlers but I have a couple of docent/ registrars inks and a film lined up with them in a few weeks…
Lovely work and very useful. My question some time after is the following: how is the pen doing with the Carbon ink? Have you paused it for some days? Have you cleaned it?
I went away to Australia for six weeks after making this film, so I emptied and flushed out all my pens. If you are not using a pen for 10 days/2 weeks, I personally would flush out any waterproof ink to be safe.
Liz- I’ve just recently found the joy of ink and watercolor wash and you! Love your style and your tutorials are really instructive. Question: what is the purpose of trying to keep a single line or not lifting the ink pen while sketching?
Well… it is really good training for your eyes. It makes you not jump over sections and really see the flow and connections in your subject. It is also fast. The connecting lines imply a lot of detail which just isn’t there. Then it stops you being a perfectionist and you just enjoy drawing without worrying about wrong lines….
I LOVE sketching with fountain pens. They are so versatile and, frankly, just fun to use. There are soooo many options for ink types, colors, etc... that you can use. If you haven't tried it, try out the Noodler's Lexington Gray. It's relatively waterproof, fountain pen safe, and really goes good with a watercolor wash because of it's non-shiny characteristics.
Your demos are so helpful, Liz, and such fun ! Thanks for sharing how you do a timed continuous fountain pen line with colour added. More please!
haven’t done one for ages, you are right!
this was absolutely so fun to watch come together. the colours really brought it to life but the fountain pen really showed its true potential
thank you!
I like the way u are doing line work…. More please!😊

It is a great exercise and the more frequently you do it, the easier it will be. Glad you were pleased with the end result

It's surprising what you can capture in a short time! We live about 45 mins from Oxford, but I haven't been for a while

Where are you? You must be able to get one cheaper!

Enjoyed your video. I'm curious where you got the fountain pens. I can't find them for that price apart from etsy who charge about £10 postage.
EBay UK. There were quite a few sellers on when I got them.
Very jealous on this side of the pond that those pens are not available here
but I bet you can find something similar. You have better art supplies than us usually

I haven’t tried that one yet. I have heard good things and the grey would not be so harsh, I reckon
it's ok thanks. found them on ebay
oh good!
Do you have an Instagram account?
yes it’s @lizchaderton 😊
