Wonderful to see such a mundane view captured and transformed through painting. I will admit, I am slightly disappointed that I didn't end up going to university in Dun Laoghaire, Dublin a week ago; maybe I could have caught sight of a certain artist standing at an easel, however slim the chance.

I'm glad you owned up to drawing the building too high at the start, James. When I first started doing demonstrations for art clubs I used to think 'what if I make a mistake? Do I pretend it didn't happen?' I've since learned that the audience appreciates it when I do admit to a mistake. In fact, I discovered that it's far more useful to them to see how I remedy a problem which they might also encounter themselves, rather than watch a perfect demonstration (even if that's what I strive for!).
@SpacemonkeyDurden Жыл бұрын
Wow, this actually solved quite a few BIG problems I've been having in improving my architectural art. I primarily work in ink anyway, and use ink-wash brush pens and markers (gray tones, primarily, until I feel comfortable working more in color), but a lot of this is translatable--for instance, using the dots on the tops and bottoms of the windows, then connecting the two with a brushstroke. Thank you, James! Read Dinotopia when I was a kid, been following your channel for a few years now. You're an inspiration.

Hi James I had previously reacted to the pol where you asked about video length and what we prefer. At that time I answered longer videos. However I realize after watching this video that I can learn so much from you in a very short amount of time. Like learning that if I sketch out my composition in a warm or red water soluble pencil it can create warmth. I've been painting 3 years every single day and I have yet to discover that technique. So what I'm saying is that maybe short but very valuable videos might be ok.

I just thought I'd say for anyone who likes drawing on top of gouache: sakura micron pens are very good. I found fountain pens can get clogged pretty easily with paint scraped up from the page, but micron pens are felt tipped and glide over paint

We're so glad to see artists using fountain pens for sketching! For a while, tech pens were in every sketch kit, but the expressiveness and line variation of a fountain pen is just miles ahead! We're curious to know what ink was in the pen? Fountain India? Piston converter or cartridge?
@JamesGurney Жыл бұрын
Thanks! I'm using the Yama-Guri Iroshiuku ink in a piston converter on the Pilot 920 AF. I love the flexibility on the nib.
@Blick_Art Жыл бұрын
@@JamesGurney We hope to see more artists add a fountain pen to their kit! We're seeing respectable, entry-level pens like Lamy Safari used for sketching more often. We hope that trend proves durable, because these instruments are wonderful to own and considerably easier to clean, fill and maintain than most assume. Thanks for the reply!
@ArtelisStudio Жыл бұрын
@@Blick_Art I love fountain pens! But I use my Lamy Safaris mainly for writing because I paint more than I draw. And sadly, it’s very hard to find and maintain waterproof inks that you can paint over without smudging.
@Blick_Art Жыл бұрын
@@ArtelisStudio That's so true, the ingredients that impart a waterproof finish are generally not great for the fountain feed mechanism. The line quality of a fountain pen nib is so nice, we know many artists who still use them despite the limitations

#James gurney . I don't no if I recommend or someone did before but for beginner younger artist normally I would recommend them start off with a small or canvas maybe I can buy 9 or 9 by 10 to get the feel of the size of a drawing. Most newly beginner artist have lot of trouble pick the wrong side canvas. Something that talk up most of ther drawing time and they begin to lost instrist in the subject at hand.
