A dip pen can hold much more than just ink. I'll use watercolor in this case and its a great technique for fine linear details like tree branches. Let's take a look at how.

Steve, PLEASE KEEP THIS CAMERA ANGLE! Being able to see your palette and mixing is awesome! Especially the magic that happens there.

@marynorby9530 4 жыл бұрын

I always learn so much when I see the palette, mixing, brush-loading, etc.!!

@ruthinehennessy8705 4 жыл бұрын

I agree with Josh and Mary - This is a great view to facilitate learning!

Won't always but I will on occasion. It requires two cameras and greatly increases editing time which is not always available.

Thanks, I use fountain pens, but I can see why using a dip pen can be fun.. I find it challenging to be random when sketching tree branches. It is very easy to make repetitive marks..

One of my favorite techniques that I have learned from you. The ability to draw fine lines without using a brush is an incredible addition to my arsenal of watercolor techniques!

I'm loving this technique, it's something that my Wife would go crazy over. So I better not let her see it or she'll be giving me orders to branch out in every room of the house. I used dip pens at school over 50 year's ago and never picked one up since, well today I have one with a range of nibs. This is how I dropped across your channel, thank you for the watercolour idea I'll definitely be giving it a go.

Personal favorite…Where you got everyone hooked on flex nibs! And your intro to spontaneous painting! And for me now, The fountain pen rabbit hole! Lol! Thx Steve. You’re such a Blessing to so many people. Also, love any paintings to do with the Southern US! Like Hawks, and pine trees and Charleston! 👍❤️🙏🏻🖌 Messy Mendy from Ga.

You probably won't see this comment, but just in case, I want to thank you for the inspiration and your hard work. I was inspired by this video and I tried the technique and it blew me away. I showed my painting to my creative group and they were very impressed. They even made photocopies of it! I am a total newbie at watercolor and these kinds of videos really help. I like tips and tricks that will make my journey into watercolour more interesting. So today, my third ever watercolour painting was a total hit and all thanks to you. I gave them all the name of your channel. Thanks again.

Steve, thank you so much for another great video. I wondered why my dip pen wasn't holding much liquid. I have "seasoned" it & now it works very well. I have learned so much from you over the years. I can never thank you enough for your videos, all the time you donate to educate watercolorists throughout the world. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
