How I combine mixed media using a range of drawing materials

- Опубліковано 3 гру 2024
- Hello! In this video I swatch and play with some new to me materials from Derwent- their tinted charcoal pencil and pan sets.
I also share how I blend and mix them with other Derwent media, create textures and colour palettes and sketch Autumnal scenes in my sketchbook.

I like how you sound just normal in this video instead of the asmr sound in some other ones. I know other ppl really enjoy it but it gives me the heebs. Thank you for this video and I hope I don't sound like a hater. Just wanted to lyk my perspective, others might feel the same. Who knows. Lovely art! I love the free style you have !!!❤
Oh thank you! Nice to know and glad you enjoyed the art too!
Thank you for sharing the swatching and how you use the tinted charcoal pans and pencils with other Derwent media. I learn so much, am inspired and especially appreciate your calm voice, inrushes pace and love of the countryside and coast where you live. So beautifully presented as is your work.
Thank you!!! I’ve had both sets for quite awhile, but have struggled with them. You’ve inspired me to give them another go. Especially helpful to see them mixed with other Derwent mediums. 💗
What a lovely experience watching you create Autumn Textures with the variety of Derwent materials. I love the effect of adding rubbing alcohol. You've created beautiful artworks!
Excellent informative video - beautiful autumn textures and one of my favourite places, Cape Cornwall - thank you.
Love derwent materials! All top quality! And love your choices and tests! Thanks for sharing ❤
Thanks Mel - very enjoyable and loved every minute
Autumn Textures, I have not used the Derwent charcoal products although I have looked at them in the past. I have a collection of the Derwent Lightfast pencils which I use quite a lot and I love the Inktense pencils and bars. The intense pencils are so portable if you don’t want to carry a lot of product as you can use them in so many ways. I will now purchase the charcoal products, thank you for the swatching.

I love watching you work and utilize mixed media to create such rich scenes.
I love your Autumn Textures, it inspires me for Winter textures!
Glad you like them Anne! Nice segue!
Autumn textures, great video. thank you! I have the Derwent XL charcoal blocks, I forgot about them, time to pull them out! I use them mostly wet as they are very powdery.
Susank9897, me too. I was watching this after I went to bed and had to jump up and run into my art room and pull out those XL charcoal’s….i just did a quick swipe and realized oh my…there’s only five in the set…but to use them as a base like Mel did here is a great start and gets me using them again! Great minds..😊
Love this comparison since I'm torn on the charcoal tinted or the drawing pencils to buy for Xmas❤thanks for your time❤

Gorgeous Autumn Textures :) Enjoyed your video Such a lovely seaside area you live in.
Autumn textures. I have the tinted charcoal pencils but never found much use for them - so they were forgotten in a drawer. Now out for experimenting 🤗 Thank you.
Great to hear! Definitely mix them with other pencils and alcohol.

Loved your video and so inspiring. I watch your videos while on my treadmill it is a wonderful way to spend my morning ❤
Glad to hear!
Lovely sketchbook ideas - my Christmas wish list is getting longer! 😁 I love the Derwent Inktense pencils and drawing pencils so looking forward to experimenting with more of the Derwent range in my sketchbook. Lovely drawings as ever Melanie. Thank you 💜🙏
Thanks so much! 😊 Glad it has sparked some more experimenting with your current supplies, that's always good to hear. Derwent also sell the charcoal pencils open stock so you don't need to invest in the whole tin x
@ Oooo, thank you 🙏
This looks fab with your kind of artwork or anyone's artwork come to that loving the textures and creamy effect smoothe at the same time vibrant ❤
Thanks Deborah

A very nice video, I enjoyed every minute of it. Thank you so much for that! I put the charcoal pencils straight on my wish list. Thankfully, my favorite art dealer also has them in his range. Lucky me! They would be a wonderful addition to my materials. The colors are great! I love the autumnal-wintery mood they have. And that you can use them both wet and dry.
Unfortunately, my English isn't that good and I had to use Google Translate in case what I've written sounds a little strange. Best wishes from Germany
Autumn Textures.
Thank you for sharing. Very useful information. Always enjoy your beautiful work.
Gorgeous autumn textures, I love the mini seascape.
Thankyou!
Derwent has such original products ! (Autumn textures)

Lovely 'Autumn textures' 🤎
Wow, I ❤️ these 😮😊 the colors are gorgeous 😍
They are!
Oh, Autumn Textures! 🧡
Fabulous Autumn textures Mel! I've been dithering over whether to buy some Derwent charcoal products for ages, you have inspired me to finally take the plunge. I love how they blend with other media. Beautiful drawings. Thanks for this gorgeous video 💟💙💚🤎🖤🤍♥
I wasn't sure at first but they do blend well together. Experiment and have fun!
I love Autumn Textures and colors. This video was fun to watch and very informative - thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Autumn textures, love how you work ❤
Thank you! 😊
Autumn Textures! Hi Melanie, love these materials, very tempted. Great sketches at the end too. Thankyou for sharing, take care ❤❤
Glad you like them! I like that you can also buy them open stock on Derwent's site.
Hi Mel, I really like your little sketches. The colours are beautiful and harmonious. But unfortunately charcoal pencils make a lot of dust the way it looks. The colour selection of the pencils is really nice. The autumnal colours are just beautiful (the pimento colour glows wonderfully). I really like the art materials from Derwent. It was very helpful that you said which colours are wax based and oil based I didn't know. I painted the white cottage at Cape Cornwall from the same position in oil a few years ago:)) Lovely memory! Thank you very much for sharing this video. Autumn textures:)
Those tinted charcoal pencils are wonderful, I need some hehe! Another brilliant video my dear. 😍🖤🤍
Thank you so much 🤗
This was such a lovely video Melanie 😊.
Autumn Textures 🍁🌾🍂

Autumn Textures….Everything I’ve read about the tinted charcoal pencils have said they are horrible to sharpen, that they just break off….I’m wondering if you will keep us posted on how this works for you?……..great video as always. Thank you so much for sharing your work with us. ps…I love the new zine and the 2025 calendar I ordered recently. ❤
Autumn textures. Took me a large minute to adjust to the scratchiness.
Lovely colors. What label of alcohol are you using - household alcohol?
They are lovely colours aren't they. The alcohol is basic rubbing alcohol. Here's the one I use: amzn.to/418cXOs
Have you tryed the graphtint pencils? I'm most curious about those.
Autumn textures. Thanks for sharing. I have some Derwent Lightfast, Inktense, paint pans, and the drawing pencil set. I really like their products. I have never tried any of the charcoal products, and am not sure I could handle the sound and feel of them. But maybe the paint set would be OK. Thank you!
Yes, I wasn't sure i'd cope with the charcoal pencils too! But the paint pans are nice and have an interesting texture to build upon.
Love this video. So useful. I think it will help me to get using my derwent charcoal much better. I don’t suppose you could tell us what derwent Inktense blocks you were using? Thank you X
Yes they were the bark and leaf green, great for textures. So glad it has been helpful.
@ thank you so much! I can’t wait to dig everything out over the weekend.
Do you put a fixative over drawing or does the alcohol stop the smudging your work?
You're right the alcohol fixes the work, but if you did want to add any other fixative I recommend this one which is non-toxic: amzn.to/3COoFUm
