21 quid is a whole lot cheaper than Arches paper. Yes, it's expensive, but not as much as other papers. Professional papers are expensive. If you have a local shop that sells papers by the sheet, you can get one sheet and cut it down to the sizes you want and that will save you a lot of money on the most expensive papers. Use the leftover bits for color mixing practice before painting.

Thank you for your comment I hope you've had time to have a go. Fi introduces herself at the beginning of the video, perhaps you missed it. For more info visit www.beckynewellart.co.uk. Thank you
Thanks for your time and effort. Probably just me. But I would prefer to see the painting the *right way round* from the off. You can do that by shooting the video from the top side of the board and then rotate the video in post-processing. Lovely finished piece!
That is so kind, thank you. Yes, I should get some painters tape you’re right - thank you. No I haven’t looked at Nick Stewart…. I will now. I will check out his Instagram if he has one. Thanks for your comments 🙏
Never seen bleach used with any medium before, really cool, ink ordered, what interests me is the bleach delivery and control of bleaching. may try applying with fine thread or different concentrations of bleach with coloured inks. Thankyou, Ive been on watercolour for years but this is a whole new world. have you used any other brands/colours of ink? Thanks D.
The Waterford ink is the only one I know that works with bleach. However using different concentrations of bleach works really well and you’re right! Use thread , use anything that’s handy. It’s such a lovey way to work. As for colours I use a lot of acrylic ink and any sort would do but water colours work equally well I find 👍🏻 hope you’ve had loads of fun with this method of working x
That landscape looks amazing, very moody & mysterious. Do you use pure bleach or diluted with water & have you used any other fountain pen inks? Thank you for sharing your process!
Hi tanja, thank you.. I use both, in fact, pure and various degrees of diluted it just depends on the moment! Sometimes I use a damp brush or add water before I begin adding the bleach but at others I will put the bleach on and then,very quickly add the water. Re: ink , no I haven’t but if you find others that work let me know 👌 Hope you have fun experimenting 👍🏻
Thank you ❤️ we are now signing up for next term's zoom classes. There are limited places available visit www.beckynewellart.co.uk for contact details. We are always happy to answer any questions 🎉
This is beautiful!! Will the bleach eat through the paper eventually? Just wonder if this process can be used for pieces intended to have longevity. I’d love to start asap.
We’ve had work framed and sold without any problem for over two years. If in doubt there’s always the option of doing prints, we do that too! Hope that helps ❤️
Hi Fi I tried to paint your painting but used acrylic ink instead of aquarel ink , de bleach did not work on the acrylic ink , I will tray the aquarel ink instead see if the bleach works on it , thank for answer 🙏
Hi thank you for your question and your kind comment. To be honest you've got me in a fizz now 😂 I don't know is the answer, so if anyone does then please let us know! I suppose I question if it needs sealing? if you mean how do you get the bleach to stop doing what its doing when it's got to the place you want it to... The answer I'm afraid is you can't! That's kind of the joy of it. You have to relax and allow the materials to do their thing and sort of shepherd stuff.... Allow it to happen rather than try and be in control of the finished product. Once you've left it for a day it does look a bit different. That's when you can go back in with pen and watercolour if you choose. Hope that helps ❤️
@@thebeckynewellcollective Perhaps, if you soak it once it is all dry and add a bit of soap to the water to stop the bleach from continuing to bleach out the ink. If the ink is permanent, it probably won't move at all and will stay the same. That is my guess. I would not want it to continue to bleach out because it would potentially change the picture completely. In any case, it's very beautiful and worth a try. Thanks for sharing this technique.
What effect where you trying to get? As a rule they don't mix but there's nothing wrong with experimenting. If it's possible try watercolour...straight out of the tube instead of acrylic, or even very light acrylic ink. It just depends what effect you where aiming for. Hope that gives you some ideas to play with, don't give up on experimenting though, the best ideas come from those. ❤️👌
If removing tape rips your paper, you can go over it with a hairdryer. The heat will loosen the adhesive and you can remove the tape more easily.
Top tip, thank you, such a clever idea 👌
Awesome, thank you for showing us the whole process. Much appreciated!!!!!
😊
I love the ink layer. I have been trying to get into ink and bleach painting and this has given me some ideas. Thank you!
That's great, I hope you have loads of fun with it now ❤️👌
I absolutely love this. Thanks for posting. I'm doing something using these effects ASAP. ❤️

Thanks Patrick 👍 Yes, I agree, always better to see things the right way up!
Try using painter’s tape. It won’t stick to your paper.
Your technique is very inspiring. Have you ever watched Nick Stewart’s videos? He’s amazing.
That is so kind, thank you. Yes, I should get some painters tape you’re right - thank you. No I haven’t looked at Nick Stewart…. I will now. I will check out his Instagram if he has one. Thanks for your comments 🙏
@@thebeckynewellcollective it's something like quink&bleach I think🤔

awesome
to stop the tape tearing your paper, stick the tape to the carpet pull it up & stick it again. this takes some of the adhesive off.
Thanks so much for this tip - will definitely give this a try ❤️
Beautiful!
Absolutely awesome!!
How do you deal with the bleach odor. It seems unhealthy, or do you wear a mask?
Absolutely lovely!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you ❤️ we are now signing up for next term's zoom classes. There are limited places available visit www.beckynewellart.co.uk for contact details. We are always happy to answer any questions 🎉
I love this. I’m wondering if you could go over the bleach with black after applying a film of varnish, and then varnish again afterwards???
@@Richiedei50 oooooo that would be fun, update us ❤️
Masking tape is great no problems removing.
This is beautiful!! Will the bleach eat through the paper eventually? Just wonder if this process can be used for pieces intended to have longevity. I’d love to start asap.

Beautiful thank you
That’s so kind , thank you
Thanks for this! How would you frame it? Is there a danger to trap it under glass (the bleach)?
@@suejensenart3501 hello, Ive had pieces framed for over 6 years, at least now and they still look as good as new. No problems I’ve seen as yet ❤️
Hi Fi I tried to paint your painting but used acrylic ink instead of aquarel ink , de bleach did not work on the acrylic ink , I will tray the aquarel ink instead see if the bleach works on it , thank for answer 🙏
Thanks for the video. How do you stabilize the bleach once you are done? Thanks so much! It looks beautiful.

Do other colors of Waterman ink work as well? Are these alcohol inks?
@@lindamiller1921 oooo, you've got me! Now I need to investigate. Let us know if you've already experimented 👍❤️
Can you please tell what kind of ink do you use?
@@elisabetecardosomacedo1357 its Waterfords and available generally but I get mine from Amazon!
Does it leave a bleachy smell?
Not at all, but you do have a clean studio!
Quark gluing plasma 😅
Tape…take it off at a 45 degree angle.
I can't hear you
I would be interested se watch this but couldn't get the audio high enough to hear anything
Hope the latest video is better ❤️
