I ❤ your entire sketchbook. What a nice story about Mildred, the 🦔hedgehog, and that is such a cute name. Your rabbit with the full moon painting is so sweet and magical! 💙🐇The watercolor crayon swatches were fun, too. I have a set by another brand, Staedtler Karat Aquarell. I'll try swatching them and mixing the colors a bit to get to know them better. Before I thought they were too bright, but I think it takes time to get to know the colors well and to learn how to use them. Thank you, and I hope you don't mind my long comments! 💜

Thanks Cynthia, I love your comments, they are always so positive. I love the water soluble mediums but they do take some time to get used to, especially when I’ve always painted with watercolours on paper - I have only kept a sketchbook over the last couple of years. It’s hard to just chill out and create. Audrey and Mildred often come nose to nose on the front lawn in the evenings. Mildred stands her ground! 🙏💜

Do you think a plastic cutting board would work? Or maybe too much texture?
@PurpleladybirdartКүн бұрын
It could do - the Caran D’Ache palette (in my opinion) didn’t seem rough enough so you could be onto something. 🙏💜

This was wonderful! I love the combination of ink and watercolor, and what a cool fountain pen you have there! The country manor looks like such a beautiful place to visit. The green archway entrance is enchanting, and the dragonfly was a lot of fun to watch. All of the flowers are so beautiful and the colors so bright - it would be nice to paint them all. (Sorry, I missed it live - speaking of giving up coffee, I had some late yesterday, didn't sleep well and overslept. 🙃) Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful day with us, and I look forward to your next one. 😊Have a nice week! 💛🌷🌼🌸🧡

Hi Cynthia, I am so pleased you enjoyed the video. The gardens were so serene and peaceful. Coming back through the green tunnel my friend and I spotted a little shrew pottering about. It appears that he lived underneath a beautiful old statue. The flowers, especially the poppies and roses were dreamy. 🙏💜

I love the landscapes in England. Thanks so much for sharing. I did want to share my experience with Intense pencils. I use a lot of watercolor pencils, including Intense. I have also recently started using Neocolor II wax pastels. One of the things I have found invaluable is the Caran D'Ache palette. I works great with all types of pencils, including graphite. It has a rough side and a smooth side. The rough side has just enough texture to grab the pigment when you color on it. You can then use a wet brush or water pen to pick up the pigment. I use it extensively to mix colors in the field when I have a more limited palette of colors. The only complaint I have seen from others is the staining. I have been able to remove stains be using a Mr Clean Magic eraser or even a plastic eraser.
@Purpleladybirdart6 күн бұрын
Thank you Phyllis - I have the Caran D’Ache palette on my wish list so after reading your wonderful advice, I think I will get it. I am really enjoying my Inktense pencils and gradually adding more colours - I haven’t used them plein air yet so maybe I need to be braver. Thank you for your lovely comment. 🙏💜

Hi ! I learned that if you rough up the plastic with a sanding tool the pencil will break up on the surface and then add water to make the color

The place where you went to sketch is so green and beautiful, and Audrey is so adorable! It's so nice that you take her with you, and she gets to run off leash. I like how you did your basic sketch outside and then finished indoors with the color and different types of pencils. About the Derwent Inktense - another artist here on YT uses a paper palette to wet the Derwent Inktense pencil marks. He cautioned that wetting the tips of the pencils may wear them down faster, but I hope that's not the case! He's another UK artist - @AlexBoonArt 💚

Thank you Cynthia - I have a paper tear off palette pad so will certainly follow Alex’s advice - I’ll post an update over the weekend on the community page to let you know how I get on. Audrey is my loyal companion and accompanies me on all my plein air outings. ☺️💜

Thank you Patricia, Audrey is sooo patient 😆 I’m not sure using a ceramic plate was a good idea as the Inktense pencils stain a little bit. Putting the colour down on a scrap piece of paper may work better. I will try with the disposable easel papers next. 🙏💜
