your one of those artists who are so skilled that you make things look way more easier then they really are, your control over just water on a piece of paper is almost super natural
I'd been looking the video on how to do this and had given up. I went and watched something else, and BAM. There it was, on the top left of the recommendations grid at the end of the video. Thank you.
Hi Mary, I work in India Ink and airbrush and I am fascinated by the wonderful ink techniques you shared. You are an amazing artist and I subscribed to your channel!
Yay!!!! :D Doodle lady! One of my inspirations when I got sick and died in tha hospital to never give up doodling!!! Thank you so much. :) So glad to see you're still drawing and sharing.
Very timely. I have a big bottle of india ink on my drawing table, and about high time I started playing around with it. And this is a very interesting technique you are showing! Oh yeah, and I love your sound effects, wheee, psch, boom! 😄
Wow that was amazing !!!! I'm actually working with ink now and doing a course on it, I'm like half way through and one of the modules is a 'ink wash' I haven't got there yet. I already have been practicing ink washes but I will have to be playing nice like this seeing as I have a bottle of ink 😁 thanks again
I follow a few artists that inspire and teach me on here and instagram Im surprised I’ve not come across your awesome page 🖤💗🖤🙏🏼 thank you for sharing your knowledge and vibes
Loving your videos! I started working with ink more last year, but your videos really encouraged me to branch out and start using dip pens. Can't wait to try using water!
Beautiful and very useful. I am a total beginner. Could you share the type and brands of ink and brushes you're using? Also do you have a video on large geometric Indian ink layered strokes with a translucent effect? Thanks so much for your help.
Yay! It's Mary!! Thanks for the ink tips. I am really having an incredibly difficult time defining shapes and values using just black ink. I can do this with 'drawings' (crosshatching, shading, etc) but with INK it's so hard! Do you have any pointers for that?
Feathering is another form similar to cross hatching. If you do something like the bleeding technique in this video I recommend only setting the ink down closer to the side you want the darkest and using a dry brush to "lift" the ink where you want it lighter. 3:22
How long does it take for your pieces to dry? I am thinking of trying this with a fountain pen drawing (water proof ink) and then using your ink method with colored inks as a wash.
Probably a silly question but thought I would ask it… from my experience working with watercolor, I know how to prep my paper to reduce buckling but since I’ve been trying the same approach to prep my sheets, first on 90# then tried some 120# but, so far I haven’t been able to reduce the buckling when doing heavier ink bleed … Would you have any advice to reduce the buckling? …. Especially when doing very wet bleeds…thanks.
How are you prepping your paper? Are you stretching it? Honestly, I don't do much to reduce buckling other than tone down the amount of water that I use. Buckling is something that I don't mind working with. However, you can try taping down your drawing, or resting between layers and flattening the page once it's dry.
How quickly do you get through one of your 1L bottles of India ink? I've found sometimes I end up throwing whole bottles away if I've opened them but not used them all (for about 3+ months). They smell soooo bad when they're off. Like the strongest rotten egg smell. I can't even force my pupils to use them... 😂
It's a matter of painting with the water. The edges may not be perfect at first. once the ink fans out and begins to settle I will go in and define the edges.
LOVED that!!! Ok, so, I love the whole ooooh look at how the ink moves & flows & reacts etc .. like I really love it👏, BUT ... if you wanted to KEEP some of those effects?? Cause it seems to me that in the end it all just blends & settles, with the fabulous "blooming" effects now gone. Could blotting at the time of the effect keep it? Obviously I can try that, & have done with a LITTLE success. 💥But any tips you have on capturing those effects would be SO greatly appreciated? Please? 😬😇 Thankyou .. I loved your black cats quickie doodle at the end .. great way to go about it. 👍 liked & sub'd FYI.
Yes, I do! Especially with heavy washes of ink. When it is fully dry I'll lay books on the paper to flatten it. But while drawing if it buckles I ignore it because I am a lazy lazy person.
yes, you can! The ink WILL dominate the watercolor, however. I would recommend mixing in it's own well, or area of your palette, and adding the ink slowly to the watercolor. Or letting it mix on the page.
Absolutely! Actually, I was introduced to these materials when I took a comic creation workshop. It's an old school method, but if you like working with traditional materials you can get some great effects.
Ohhh it’s so beautiful 😳 but what do you do with a piece afterwards? Do you remove the water in some way or are you just leaving it to dry? 🤔 I can just imagine myself making something I love and then ruining it by moving it afterwards 😅
I let my stuff air dry. Sometimes I take the dog for a walk immediately. Removing myself from the vicinity of fresh art greatly decreases the chances of me destroying it accidentally :D
@@marydoodles just basic chemistry ..fluids intergrate and separate at different temps, mediums and times... you could make a time release method by mixing vinegar in you paint....in psyhics it is called drift and diffusion. take a cup of water and drop a drop of paint in it and watch it spread. use cold water it moves slower, boil it moves faster....vinegar is a weak acid soak the paper in it dry hard. then use a light water ..water color method on it. no magic enjoy!!!
The queen is here! Welcome back, your inkjesty
THANKS!
I've always been in love with your ink bleed videography. It's so magic to witness! Thank you for showing us your technique!
I love your joy and enthusiasm, your expression gives us so much joy to watch!
Queen MaryDoodles is back! I missed your calm art videos ❤

Welcome back Mary! I really like the real time tutorials it was very relaxing! :D
You will never know how much joy your videos bring to our lives. Thanks for bringing the series back.
Looks like my heart is exploding with love today. Thanks.
I found that i was smiling all the way through that video as I enjoyed it so much! Thank you for such a bright and useful video.
Ahh I miss how to art
It's nice to have water and brushes pestering the paper and then producing a piece of work.
your one of those artists who are so skilled that you make things look way more easier then they really are, your control over just water on a piece of paper is almost super natural
Great idea. Love your fun vibrant but down to earth personality.

Glad to find this channel💛💛💛💛💛
I’ve been watching your UA-cam for YEARS! You’re so talented!
Im so glad i found your channel! Thank you for taking the time to teach us!
OMG! Lightbulb moment. Darn, looks like I have to go ink shopping now. I’d like to see unusual papers and substrates for ink ! Thanks. 👍
Thank you for the focused look at this technique. Now I know how today’s art I time will be spent!
Enjoy!

Awesome tips and tricks. I love painting with ink but haven't tried this loose style yet. :)
Do it!!! It's super fun :D
Got my first bottle of India Ink for Christmas! This was my first stop! Love your channel!
You're the Keanu Reeves of art, Mary.
That is too high of a compliment.
OMG YES!!!

I like the videos Chris Saenz does when she shows the Nick Stewart method of landscapes with fountain pen inks.
Finally! I'm glad you're back, Mary!
Thank you for explaining. I was really curious how to do it
So satisfying to watch
This was so nice to watch. I just felt soothed and happy!

THANK YOU! Go forth on your adventure and create with reckless abandon!
I recently got asked where I learned to paint and ink. Told them from this channel 😁!
First visit here, LOVE your artworks! I like ink painting too! 💗
Hi all the way from a happy Scotsman living in Sunny Australia 🇦🇺 💕
Hello! Hope you're not lost!
I've been waiting for this video for a million years
Just found you. You are adorable and so much fun. I LOVE to see ink spread out in water! So cool. xo
Thanks for being here!
Beautiful and very useful. I am a total beginner. Could you share the type and brands of ink and brushes you're using? Also do you have a video on large geometric Indian ink layered strokes with a translucent effect? Thanks so much for your help.

Heck yeah, thanks for the How to Art video, using my favorite medium.
I am not an artist at all, and this video is like someone showing me how they do magic.
Thank you, that’s cool. I would have liked to see them dried.
Love your sound effects! I believe you’re nearly as mad as I am 🤣 Glad I found you, I love painting with ink too xxx
That was AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ahhhh missed you and your videos! Welcome back❤❤❤
Awesome, thank you very very much for sharing and your great videos, you are the best. Thank you Mary
Your oooh and aaaah when something cool happens is my favorite part :)
Yessss! Omg I missed your videos! 😊
Thanks for this. I have a pot of ink from an art challenge that I need to use up
Thanks this was super helpful thanks
I've seriously been missing your videos.
This was so wonderful...thanks for sharing!!!!

Sorry, sorry, couldn't resist, great work. 🌱🍀🌳🤘🏻
Great vid, ty! Many Blessings
Can u show how to get that stain edge im doing water in a pitcher
hmmm I'm not quite sure what you are referring to. Do you mean the effect of a stained edge of the subject in your painting?
This was worth the wait
Yay! This is happy in my timeline, thanks.
I love your channel!
Do you use distilled water or just tap water? Sorry very, very new to ink...
Can we do this with the blue ink that we use in fountain pens? Loved your video!!
I don't see why not. It doesn't hurt to test out how pens react when you draw on a wet page.
How long does it take for your pieces to dry? I am thinking of trying this with a fountain pen drawing (water proof ink) and then using your ink method with colored inks as a wash.

I love your curtains ☠️ where did you get them??
Urban Outfitters, my friend
Wow it looks like a black dragon egg. I love india inkt. But i am New to it so i try to watch you,re video's everyday and night
what if i want to make a grey tone?
how do you paint the water precisely so it depicts a sharp object like a wolf or a tiger for instance
It's a matter of painting with the water. The edges may not be perfect at first. once the ink fans out and begins to settle I will go in and define the edges.

So lovely to see you again! There was some big Bob Ross vibes from this tutorial, love it!
Do you dilute the ink a bit with water in your paint jar?
Sometimes I do. Usually I don't do grey washes, but this technique is great for getting lighter mid tones.
Do you ever have issues with Bristol buckling?
Yes, I do! Especially with heavy washes of ink. When it is fully dry I'll lay books on the paper to flatten it. But while drawing if it buckles I ignore it because I am a lazy lazy person.
@@marydoodles Ah, I see. Does the buckling go away after that?
Do you think you can use this technique on canvas
It might be a little difficult on canvas. I've never tried it before...
Nice tutorial! Keep up the videos!
Thanks!
Love I ,thank you
woah
cool
can you mix drawing ink and watercolor?
yes, you can! The ink WILL dominate the watercolor, however. I would recommend mixing in it's own well, or area of your palette, and adding the ink slowly to the watercolor. Or letting it mix on the page.
I want to go to the craft store right now!
When will they deliver art supplies like they're pizzas?
Can I use sumi ink to do comic?
Absolutely! Actually, I was introduced to these materials when I took a comic creation workshop. It's an old school method, but if you like working with traditional materials you can get some great effects.
Beautiful! :)
You just opened a new can of worms for me. Thank you! 😊
Hi beautifull mary , i would like to learn drawing cartoon characters from real people to create my own animations, pleaese help me
Well your fun and fabulous. Thank for the toot. =o)
Any time! TOOOOOT
Just the tip
Ohhh it’s so beautiful 😳 but what do you do with a piece afterwards? Do you remove the water in some way or are you just leaving it to dry? 🤔
I can just imagine myself making something I love and then ruining it by moving it afterwards 😅
I let my stuff air dry. Sometimes I take the dog for a walk immediately. Removing myself from the vicinity of fresh art greatly decreases the chances of me destroying it accidentally :D
try some oil in the water???? then heat it .... as in draw on a hot plate.
What is this magic you speak of?! (googles intensely)
@@marydoodles just basic chemistry ..fluids intergrate and separate at different temps, mediums and times... you could make a time release method by mixing vinegar in you paint....in psyhics it is called drift and diffusion. take a cup of water and drop a drop of paint in it and watch it spread. use cold water it moves slower, boil it moves faster....vinegar is a weak acid soak the paper in it dry hard. then use a light water ..water color method on it. no magic enjoy!!!
@@marydoodles its cool and no charge for the ideas....coolness
i do the same thing for music simple ideas tend to be better!
