Since it was super requested, the next video will be on dip pens and how to use them.. unless you want to see a different vid! :) I hope you guys like the voice over format..if not, tell me! Thanks for watching guys!
I can't wait for that video to be uploaded! I always wanted to know how to use them and which ones i should buy ^~^ and i love that the voice overs are back! I remember back then when you did them haha
I need that Finetec Palette in my life. Need it! Also, you should try making your own gold ink using Pearl Ex pigments and gum arabic. I experimented with that over the weekend and the results are incredible! You can control how thick or thin the ink is by the amount of gum arabic and water you mix into the pigment, and you can also make your own metallic watercolor cakes if you let the mixture dry out. There's plenty of different types of golds to choose from, as well. I'm a metallic paint psycho, so I love trying all of them out, but the inks I made with Pearl Ex are, so far, my favorite.
This video was set up so nicely. The music in the back was relaxing, but not to loud. You compared everything so nicely. I wish I could like more than once!
Thank you so much! I'm going to try to look for the Finetech palette in the UK actually :-) In regards to watercolour, what pen do you use to outline? I want to find one which is very fine but that i can outline before colouring with watercolour. I love these videos!
MyPetiteCakes Ah thank you so much~ I'm doing an art nouveau piece but I've only sketched it in pencil haha :-) Your sketchbook video is so inspiring, when my summer one is finished I'll definitely make one myself! I want to become as good even as your 16y/o self since it's only a couple months till I'm 17
I have been watching ink comparison videos all day long and this is the first one where I didn't wish someone had covered a certain aspect of the inks or I didn't wish there was another angle. You covered everything, this was so unbelievably helpful. Thank you so much for making this! PS: You are extremely talented. Your art popping in every so often with the music in the background made this such a beautiful video!
i've actually spoken to store employees about the pigment settling at the bottom for ph. martins. they said to hold it upside down for a bit and continually shake it . it should be good its not really a drawback on ph martins they are my favourite brand for ink and watercolours!
This is a fantastic video. I appreciate that you seem to understand that we the viewers may have time constraints and therefore you give a concise review with examples. Thank you very much. This video made my day.
Ooooh I personally like how the FineTech Watercolour turned out. Interesting video, love love love how gold watercolour looks in artworks, really pops out!
+MyPetiteCakes Yes i know that they are pretty expensive , but you can get better blending quality markers and they are not copics so you won't give all that money and i think that they are better than copics. What is that markers?? TOUCFIVE! I use touchfive markers , you can see at my channel , and they are pretty awsome👌😍 The blending quality of them clearly better than copics. You can also see how Touchfive markers blend at Zyra Bañez's copic alternatives video! But if we gotta talk about pigment & color , copics are better. Copic have more sets than Touchfives , they have more color. People say that copic colours are so vivid , bright! So copics are better at colors according to touchfive markers. And there is a marker that i dont remember the number in Touchfive markers , that marker is just like colorles blender , well , i used that so many times as blender and it totally worked awsome 🙈🙈🙈 And you can use that marker as so light skin tone , that one is my favourite! 🌸You can blend different colors in Touchfive so well as well!! ( yes a weird sentence 😂 ) And i hsve 81 set for 64 dolars , then the last time i looked they were 40 dolars!! They are so cheap and SO DAMN good! I got them from aliexpress. Ylu can try them if you want!!! :)
Thanks you for this video! I finally decided to get myself the Finetec Gold Palette, well my boyfriend got it for me during Christmas. All of these were hard to come by from where i'm from. Lucky we found that Finetec was carried at a specialty calligraphy shop just a bus ride away from where I live.
So nice to see your comparisons but I really think the Finetec golds were my fav because it has so many shades to match my projects! Obviously different reasons to have each one! Thank you for doing your video and am your newest follower!! So clever to use these in all your projects and not limit yourself!
This is *tremendous*, for me. The first gold ink I bought was Speedball, which, yes, is pretty watery and artificial. Glad to know the qualities of the other options.
I think I'm going to buy some of these gold watercolors on my next paycheck. I just bought the Dr Ph Martins watercolor. Also if anyone buys the Speedball India black ink don't forget to clean the cap...just like the Windsor & newton bottle she described in the video.
Lovely video. Thanks for doing this. I've been painting with watercolor for some many years... but I'm always afraid of experimenting with gold/silver inks... mainly because they tend to change so much in between brands... and also, because each one reacts in such a different way... Once again, thank you. :)
Thank you for this. I'm currently obsessed with gold and I absolutely love my Kuratake gold pallette. But I've also bought some other stuff like the P.H. Martin that I haven't opened yet. Now I can't wait to get to my craft room and grab some golds! Ps. Love your art! ~Velvet
Hey,I know I'm late to the party,but I went to my local art shop lately,and bought some gold ink for a project. I don't know if it's only a european thing,but I found the best ink ever. So beautiful ! Amsterdam Acrylic Ink in the shade "Deep Gold" by Royal Talens. Deep,shiny gold,so smooth,so satisfying,lots of pigment !
Great video! I wasn't happy about Speedball gold ink too :( I had gold Ecoline, gold Pen-Touch Pen and few others but it was great to see this comparison! Thanks for sharing these informations.
This Gold Ink from Winsor&Newton is dope! I was thinking about buying it, but I wasn't sure if it would be a good purchase, but now I am! Your video helped a lot
Really nice review! Thank you for it! You helped me decide what I'll purchase for a project. Oh, also, I subscribed. Also, that last single brush over black and white surfaces to show the ink's/watercolor's performance was inspired and sooooo helpful! Glad to meet you here on RU-vid! I'll be watching!
Im just starting watercoloring and art because of you XD your such an inspiration and AMAZING artist, I'm glad i can learn things from you so i can ease into it and know my options XD
I mostly use Gold ecoline! Unlike normal ecoline, it is really thick and pigmented and looks like melted gold in the bottle. You can easily water it down to make it more sheer and more liquidy. You don't have to shake it often.
By the way, white ecoline is really cool too! It's isn't sheer like normal ecoline, it's really opaque! It is quite thick, but not as thick as golden ecoline. I like to use it for highlights or I water it down to make smoke, mist, etc.
Tip for opening acrylic ink: stand the bottle in hot (but not too hot or the glass will break) water for 5 mins. Immediately open. Works for acrylic paint tubes too.
Thanks for the advice! I actually went out to hobby lobby today and picked up some Dr. Ph Martins! Would you be able to do a video on the type of watercolor paper you use?
This has definitely inspired me to use gold ink in my artwork and bullet journaling! I also wondered if you've ever tried Liquitex's acrylic ink in iridescent bright gold and if so, what are your opinions about it?
Love gold ink but testing as you different brands it’s sad to admit that a good brand as W&N made an useless product. In my experience I had to shaked a lot and then merged firstly I used, it’s very sticky, oiled and evanescence...thank you for this review because now I choose the next golden ink I’ll buy 🤩👍
im surprised on your thoughts about the windsor newton gold ink, mine has given me so much trouble. also yeah, clean the edges, mine barely has a cap at this point.
Hi, I'm a new subscriber and I'm from Brazil. It's a little bit difficult for me to understand the video sometimes, but even so I adore your videos. I'm going to start the college this years, I chose design, and I love art. Preferentially, I like to sing, and taking photos, but I love any type of art. I draw sometimes, but not to well, I hope that in college I learn a lot! Sorry if there is any error, and don't speak English very well. Keep going, your channel is amazing! >.< Bye o/
Hi Girl, I just spot this video of you and I want to tell you this is the best video about comparisson I ever seen about golden inks! awesome! I just looking more info about you in social media and got you! I just share this video too! awesome video! very simple and target it well!
Thanks so much for uploading this helpful video! In fact, I'm now ordering a Finetec gold pallette for myself. Btw, what was the music at the 3:31 - 3:42 mark? I'm in love with the tune! Thanks again. :)
Hello! I absolutely love your work and have started to attempt at watercolour myself! I was actually wondering about the tool you used at 2:03 since it seems like something interesting to work with and I can't seem to find what its called :3
Hello! I recently purchased a bottle of Dr. Ph. Martin's iridescent gold because I watched this video but then I realized that I'd never really used an ink like this before where I didn't know what it would do to my brushes. So I was just wondering, when you use this ink, do you use a dry brush or wet? And how would you clean said brush? Could you just wash it under running water? (Same with a dip pen I suppose; would you clean it the same way?) Thank you very much and I loved this video!
You can use a wet/damp brush. Also, wash it in a bucket/container of water immediately after using the ink because it'll be difficult to remove it later when the ink has dried.
