I would love to see a video on combining watercolor and brush pens! Thank you for sharing this info on brushes and showing your sketchbooks. This was so helpful ❣️❣️🌹❣️❣️
One of the best videos on show casing different brushes wrt sketchbook art! Love it. I just bought my first ever quill brush. Never used a mop. No I lie. I bought a Princeton mop, was shocked at how LARGE it was - because I didn’t understand the sizes. It’s so soft that I use it as a makeup brush for a light dusting of powder all over my face .🤣
It was very helpful to see the differences and examples from your sketchbooks and to hear how they are different and what you are able to do with them.
Stunning work! I am a brand new beginner to water color and have done one picture of a humming bird and Ioved it! I enjoyed your video immensely as it inspired me to just get out my many blank sketchbooks. and Just start painting.. I'm always thinking about what I'll paint, how I'll paint it, when I'll paint it and just never get down to it. Seeing all of the sketch books that you shared of your watercolors made me realize I just have to do it. So, I will mark mine, "book #1 2023" and begin!!! So I thank you for that and appreciate it more that you know!
Sketchbook is really an exercise in mindset where we have to put aside our critical in a thought and just create art. The process should be fun and not cause anxiety. I'm wishing you the best of luck.
I’m so grateful I saw you using Jackson’s quill brushes, I ordered two and they are my favourite brushes as I love to paint boldly. Thank you. Blessings from Australia
really liked your work! this ease in painting and precision in form give a clear picture to the illustrations. these works are like wallpapers.🔥🔥🔥🔥👏👏👏👏🎨🖌️🥰🥰🥰
Most of the tutorials I've seen are about florals, which is lovely, but I saw in your sketchbook that you did a whole study series on marine life; shells, seahorses, lobsters. If you were so inclined. It would be really nice to have a series of videos on sea life. And also, these things under water; how to paint the water, the rocks and animals, and the effects of sunlight streaming down through the water would be very exciting. I really love your pages on the fish, the sea shells, and the lobsters. :)
That really would be a special sketchbook indeed. Part of me says sealife and kelp forest scenes wouldn’t be for everyone. Do I just indulge myself or appeal to the masses (who do love florals)
@@OhnMarWinArt I think a lot more people love ocean/sea scenes than you might think. No one ever does any tutorials on underwater scenes so most people go to florals or landscapes. I think landscapes are boring. The palette is mostly shades of brown. Boring. With underwater scenes you get yellow light, blue water, colorful fish, reefs and rocks. I think it is much more interesting. But you must decide for yourself if this is something you want to do. 😊
Thank you for explaining the difference between mop brushes and quill brushes. I am fairly new to watercolors, and this is something I didn’t know. A few months ago I bought my first quill brush, and absolutely love it. It’s fast becoming my favorite.
You are so welcome. I'm really glad to hear that you are enjoying using your quill brush. Sometimes it takes a little bit of getting used to, but they are my favourites.
A very interesting video Ohn Mar. It was fantastic to see the progression you made through different brushes and the effect this had on your art. I love all your classes and am happy to participate in anything you teach. Thank you for sharing ❤
ahhhh thank you! I'm self taught with water-media and I've seen so many artists with those brushes but I didn't know what they were called! I'll keep an eye out for quill brushes (:
Yes, I’m definitely interested in a pen and ink class. I’m just getting started with watercolor and love your work on RU-vid. I haven’t checked you out on Ig yet, but will do so soon. Your sketchbooks are lovely to look at and provide a lot of inspiration. Thank you for sharing with us!
I wish I had known you when I started watercolors. I was using tiny brushes and it was a disaster. Bigger is better, except at the end when you want to add some details, but now I will do that with pen and ink, like you! Your sketchbooks are all gorgeous.
Thanks for the helpful review of how you progressed through the various brushes! I was introduced to quill brushes by you in your Skillshare course, and really like how they encourage loose and free strokes. Lovely. Thank you.
I would like that combination lesson as well. I love seeing your sketchbooks. Thank you for sharing them. I just took a look at my own brush collection, and I find the majority, that I use the most, are Princeton brushes, Aqua Elite and Velvetouch. I also have some Princeton mini detailers, which are awesome to use for fine, fine detail.
Thanks for a great video! Enjoyed seeing your beautiful art and finally understanding a quill brush. Just received your book and was just looking at the supply sections. Would love a video with similar information on the nibs that you use. Thanks again
I am interested in anything you are willing to show me/teach me!! I am so glad I found the Pentel brand waterbrushes early in my journey. I have had bad experiences with other brands, and they would have set me off watercolor indefinitely. Thank you for all of the helpful information. Brushes can be a big investment, and I received a lot of great information in this video to help me make more informed purchases. EDIT: Forgot to tell you my brushes! I have had decent results with the Creative Mark Mimik line of synthetic squirrel hair brushes. They were in my price point at the time and have treated me well. I also have a few Princeton and Winsor Newton brushes when I was able to splurge a bit more.
Loved getting to watch this since I just got a couple quill brushes. It was really helpful. I would love to watch a class on you combining supplies. Really I would watch any video you teach. I’m inspired to paint now. Thank you!
I love Jackson's Raven Qilll brushes! In your work, I can see improvement as you size up! All of your sketchbooks are great, but that last one is beautiful!
Hi Ohn Mar, I love all your sketchbooks 😍 and I have learned so much from your classes thank you, I wanted to buy a quill brush from jackson´s but they just sell them in UK, mabe some day... It will be nice to have the class you mentioned...
I think it's worth doing a quick Google search of quill pens in your locality or where you can buy them online in your country. They don't have to be from Jackson's Art and there are quite a few art manufacturers who supply this type of brush.
So helpful, thank you! I would take any art class you taught! Your artwork is absolutely stunning! It blows me away. Just gorgeous. Going to look up your book. Do you have a newsletter?

Hi there, quick question please: in one of your sketchbook videos you show a wonderful watercolour illustration of a red mokka pot. So well done! I saw no inking but wondered if you did a pencil sketch of the pot first under the watercolour? Thank you for all you teach. I am working through your book & am so glad I bought it. Cheers from Australia.
I think I know the part you mean, and generally I rarely use a pencil outline, unless it’s a very complicated landscape. I go straight in with watercolour.
Ohn yes please, I would love a class and look at how you do things. So would you recommend the Jacksons Quill Size 4 ? for beginners. Thank you so much for sharing your pads, as it shows how you progress to better painting with practise. I have just started to paint and only recently bought some brushes but find a lot of the synthetic hard to use, at they do not seem to pick up enough pigment just loads of water, then dump it on the page, any advise ?
Yes, definitely recommend Jacksons Quill S.777 - but maybe start with a #0 or #2 in their size system as a #4 is very large. and it might take a while to get used to them compared to round brushes.
