Painting with acrylic inks and watercolours and my artist process.

Painting with acrylic inks and watercolours and my artist process. In this video, I revisit some works in progress, and show a little about how I "finish" some paintings. I teach part of one of my favourite techniques with acrylic inks in a reductionistic method of sorts. I use both watercolour and bristol (for acrylics) 140 lb paper, and also talk about my love of "toned" papers by Strathmore.

I use several different brands of watercolour/mixed media paper - Artist Loft(Michael's in house brand) 140 lb watercolour paper, Strathmore and Canson XL 140 lb paper, and Arches Cold Press paper on a block (12 x16”).
Bristol paper by Strathmore is great for acrylic paints.

I love Neo colour Caran D’ache wax (1’s) and water-soluble (ii’s ) crayons

Paint pens I use:
Posca
Sharpie water-based medium paint pen

Metallic ballpoint pens:
Uniball-signo pens

Golden high flow fluid acrylics

Acrylic Paints
Tri Art Liquid paint (Canadian company)

Holbein “pale mint” Acryla

I use a round watercolour brush - both size 10 and 12 (quite large).

I use Faber Castell Gelatos or Artist Loft (Michaels) water-soluble crayons.

Course reference: Flora Bowley and Lynzee Lynx ("Fresh Paint")

I like Master's brush cleaner for more soiled brushes.
