As a "Newbie" to this hobby with a small amount of mechanical and drafting instruction, the pen and ink format drew me as I have a touch of color blindness. I've watched and enjoyed dozens of Bob Ross episodes, but your channel has made me curious enough to try my hand. Ironically most of my life I created art with a welding rod as my trade while listening to classical music. What you do here is "Very Cool".

So exciting! I have never seen Zorn’s pen and ink work anywhere before this. Thank you so much for doing this inspiring video. I am going to try this style of working in pen and ink. Copying the work of artists I love is a wonderful way of learning that is very old and the concern about not developing one’s own style is spurious, IMHO. The only “danger” one might encounter is that, in a contemplative state of mind, one might begin to actually channel the original artist of the work. LOL. That would be a startling development!

Any chance you might revisit this type of work with Gustave Dore?! Im wondering how to learn his style of art as im at a loss of how Etching was done comparative to modern works. His long lines and incredibly detailed images are awe-inspiring
@mkompan11 ай бұрын
Dore is on my list of tutorials to make. Etching is closer to drawing, in that the lines are scratched free hand into a varnish covered metal plate, which is then immersed in acid. Dore’s medium was engraving, a much more laborious technique where the lines were physically carved into the metal plate. Dore used a variety of mechanical aids to create his straight lines, which makes his work difficult to copy free hand, but we can give it a try.

Thanks for the very kind words! I use a variety of papers, depending on what I’m doing. Bristol is ok, but can feather with certain inks, and isn’t good for washes. I find hot press watercolor paper (Arches is a good brand).

@@Kite7077 you can buy arches in large sheets (22x30”). And if want to go even larger, I believe it can be purchased in rolls, but I can’t remember the dimensions. Fountain pen inks are not as well behaved as drawing inks, and have a greater tendency to feather and strike through, but I think generally any paper that is ink friendly, will also be fountain pen friendly.

@mkompan11 ай бұрын
Copying work done by lefties is more difficult, but mostly because I'm filming. When I'm off camera I rotate the paper to get a more comfortable angle. Not that it matters, but I'm copying a print, so the original marks on the etching plate would have been flipped.

1. There was a Zorn show up here in SF a while back, mostly/all oils. Lotsa technique. So Sargentesque. 2. It's very interesting to see how the wash can soften the brittle sharpness of the pen lines. I like the effect you can get by using a different color of wash. 3. I wonder if you could do the same thing with one of Seurat's charcoal drawings. He speaks to me much louder. Though the difference in media and paper may make the endeavor hope- and/or point- less.
@mkompan11 ай бұрын
1. Zorn is perhaps a touch better than Sargeant, but I can't say I'm a huge fan of either as painters. Both are too slick and superficial for my taste. But their off-hours work, etchings and watercolors, are wonderful, full of inventiveness and daring, missing from their official productions. 2. It was surprising how the wash and the ink worked together in Zorn, so much so that it was sometimes difficult to see where an effect was created by wash, or by hatch. 3. I'm planning to expand this "lessons from the masters" series into other media, and I think Seurat's tonal masterpieces are good candidates for copying.
