- Drawing proteas with acrylic ink, and watercolour, and art deck inspiration.

In this video, I start by picking a card from my Art Poetry card deck, and share a few of my other favourite artist's decks, by Cathy Nichols and Wendy Glos.
I draw a protea in a few different ways with my Tachikawa dip pen and Liquetex acrylic ink. I use several book references to guide my drawing.

I am still catching up with all your videos and I can’t believe I did not watch this one… Done now 😊It is so interesting and instructive to follow your creative and lifestyle thoughts. Here we are having water problems after Debby passed in the area and provocateur inondations inside the building and as a result no elevators for now 12 days… creativity keeps our chin up 😀Merci 😊
Hi, thanks for the thoughtful comment. I hope your water challenges sort out soon. And yes- creativity is so good for distraction when life gets busy around us!
Such a pleasant surprise to see a video from you so soon after your last one!! 😮 happy happy me 😍❤️✨
Yay! Thank you!
What a great way to start my day! Watching your new video, sipping coffee and working on my birds (inspired by yours). This was really interesting and, as always, helpful, and I love the results of your protea. I totally relate to the collection of jam jars and other bits that may come in handy someday. 😂 And they do!
Thanks so much Cathy! Love the image you have mentioned , as I think of it, of you sipping coffee, and painting, at the start of your day. I love your birds! I'd realized I should have showed you in acrylic inks as well as watercolour! So many options.... so little time. haha. I appreciate you!
I love love, love little jam jars!
Lovely video. Just a thought on your dip pen, you can get a set of nibs that give different line weight to extend your pen’s capabilities x
Oh, that's great to know. Thanks for the tip! (pen "tip". haha)
Hi 👋 Alison, just catching up on your video.
I have your art poetry deck, which i absolutely love, btw 🩷.
I have learnt a technique of shuffling that really works for me. I have very petite hands, my daughter is 11 yrs old and her hands are almost as big as mine 😊. So, instead of holding the deck like a normal pack of cards, horizontally and shuffling them because i can't grab the edges very comfortably like this or if i manage to it's such a stretch because it's too wide for me, i hold them on the sides so they're vertical orientation and then shuffle like normal but from the vertical aspect. It's hard to describe, but i hope this makes sense.
Thank you for showing us Cathy's deck also. They are just as beautiful.
I love waching your videos. It's so relaxing, my beagle is laid next to me completely chilling out to your voice.
Thanks Bianca! I appreciate your support so much.
I see you bought a Speedball nib, but what size and where did you purchase it? The nib holder from Amazon does not come with nibs. Thank you, Allison.
513Ef globe for industrial arts, by Speedball is all of the info I can find. I purchased it through Amazon Canada in January of this year, but see it is no longer available. It came in a pack of two. (this is the "Bowl"nib). Hope that helps and you can find it!
