This is part 1 where I'm sharing my main watercolor sketching kit. Part 2 where I'm show ing my even more compact watercolor kit for sketching in museums as well as 2 ultralight ink sketching kits is here:

Cool, you made your own bespoke brush roll. That's and excellent idea, very creative too. Good choice of brushes for urban sketching. White Nights are good quality paints, although some are quite opaque. I have the Ladoga version (24 palette) and a couple of tubes of White Nights too, all from Evetskya Palitra St. Petersburg. Your self-assembly board set up is very well thought out. I've been thinking of doing something similar, so this video has given me some great ideas. Thank you. Liked and subscribed in a flash!

Thank you and good luck with discovering museum sketching, it's so much fun! The key here is to prepare and study the rules in advance to make sure it is allowed to paint in that specific museum to avoid any issues!

Oh cool! Lamy Safari! Which ink do you use?!? I have -since being German- been using these pens since day one in the 80-ies. So I have a trick that I would share if you are interested. Great video! 👍🏻

Hi there, my fountain pen has EF (extra fine) nib, when it comes to fineliners - usually I use micron 03/05

The ones in the video are appr 22*30 cm each to fit an A4 sheet of paper. I have also made smaller pieces (20*26 cm) that I've been using a lot this year as this size fits my set up better. So happy my video inspired you to make similar boards!!

Which brand/kind of ink do you use that is compatible with fountain pens?

@vikakvasnik1581 2 жыл бұрын

At the moment I use carbon ink by Platinum Co - it is waterproof and suitable for fountain pens as it doesn't clog them like regular Indian ink for dip pens does

I also use Platinum carbon ink. It's a great black but make sure you use it frequently.

@vikakvasnik1581 2 жыл бұрын

@@eileenvalachovic9435 True! If you know you are not going to use your pen for some time it is better to push the ink off the pen back to the bottle, and load it once you are ready to use it again
