I just tried a set exactly as you are using in this video (new purchase after watching this video last week). So this time I tried them on 300gm 140 lb cold press watercolor paper by Canson and Arches. I also tried them on a 270 gm watercolor paper. I could not get them to blend out very much at all and tried everything you demonstrated. I was so disappointed-again! I returned them today. I do not understand why I have no success with these. I did buy a Staedtler waterbrush and it works fine. I
We used a watercolour paper, coldpressed with a with a thickness of at least 300 sqm). Canvas or normal paper is not suitable for painting with watercolours. Best regards, Sonja from STAEDTLER
I just bought this set because I have been doing a lot of dark line art and wanted to try adding watercolour over, do I fill the pen with water or dip it in water ?
Hello. The pens actually work without pressure. However, to achieve your own effects with more fluid, you should simply practise and test on a blank sheet. Best regards, Simon from STAEDTLER.
Noticing that these videos, including this one, do not say anything of the type paper being used. This, I'm guessing will make a difference with how moveable the ink is after it is applied to the paper. Or am I wrong?
That's right, the paper you use affects how the ink behaves once it's applied. Since the availability of paper varies between countries, we have decided not to name any papers directly. We recommend cold-pressed watercolour paper with a thickness of at least 300sqm. Canvas or normal paper is not suitable for painting with watercolours. Best regards, Sonja from STAEDTLER
pretty much any suitable ink, you can pull the nib and refill the reservoir of most markers. Some are designed to be refilled. I use AusPens for my whiteboard at home, but they've been out of black ink for a while, so any whiteboard ink can be used instead. This seems to take a while, since you're not directly filling the reservoir but using capillary action to suck the ink back into the pen. I also suppose you could use a syringe to inject the ink, if the nib is fastened inside the pen.
The Water Brush 949 (www.staedtler.com/intl/en/products/products-for-artists/accessories-for-artists/staedtler-949-water-brush-949-sbk4-c/) isn´t part of the brush pen set and can be bought additionally. Of course you can use a normal brush with water as well 💙 Best regards, Sonja from STAEDTLER
Thank you, I have this exact same pens and I was using them very wrong, more like markers, but now I see they're totally just like watercolours. Thank you!!
Fimo Air and oven-hardening Fimo are two different types of polymer clay that cannot be directly compared. Also, there are different hardnesses of oven-hardening FIMO. However, each type of clay has its own characteristics and advantages. Fimo Air is an air-drying polymer clay with a soft texture, as it does not need to be oven-baked. Oven-hardening Fimo, on the other hand, is a polymer clay that needs to be baked in a conventional oven to harden and cure. FIMO professional tends to be firmer and denser than air-drying polymer clay. Irrespective of this, a bowl like this can of course also be created wonderfully with oven-hardening FIMO. The process is similar to the one in the video: shape the base plate and apply the "snakes". Oven-hardening FIMO has good "self-adhesive properties", but instead of slurry (at min. 2:50) you can apply a thin layer of FIMO liquid.
Today i got my package of brush pensils but im already in love. I draw graffiti's and these pencils are awesome to colourize the graffiti. But this what i see now helps me a lot. But question, what is the best paper for it? I use nnow marker pads. Love ur vid.
We used watercolour paper (cold pressed with a thickness of at least 300 gsm). In this video in fact we used watercolour paper from Canson and Hahnemühle. Best regards, Lara from STAEDTLER
Okay, I bought a set and I like them a lot - except your lightest grays. The lightest gray you have (in both warm and cool) is equivalent to a medium gray by other brush pen manufacturers. Your lightest gray is probably equal to a Copic 4 or 5, so I need to keep my Copic N1 and N3. You need at least two lighter grays for very subtle shading.
Thank you very much for your feedback. For getting better we will share this with our colleagues from Product Management 💙 Best regards, Sonja from STAEDTLER
I had a staedtler eraser, a long one. It was so good at erasing and it was always satisfying to see it erase. Unfortunately my lil sis chewed and destroyed the flop out of it 😂. Now i have a new one, cuz the rest of the erasers are not as satisfying as the staedtler one. Totally recommend it
Canadian artist here… tysm for this tutorial. I purchased these markers tonight (18 set). Looking forward to doing my own eucalyptus and other plants using your tips. Perhaps teach this one in one of my workshops this year. Yours turned out beautiful!
I watched knowing I was watching, yet wondering how many times I’d need to watch before I could see what he was showing me! I will watch over & over praying to see. Thank you JSA! I’ve admired your work for decades. Jo Ann Brown Bright
