If you’re looking for more inks, the fountain pen world is where to go! That’s where I first found this brand. The place most people in the US go online is Goulet Pens (not sure about the shipping costs internationally, but they’re amazing in states), but there are definitely similar shops that might be Canada based. Diamine, Pilot Iroshizuku, J. Herbin, Sailor… so many options! And you can usually get very inexpensive samplers of colors, too. I really loved the fish in this video! Cheers. ❤

[@emhuesart]

Ooh thank you so much for sharing! I will check them out 😍 I'd love to try out more inks!

[@BambiHyde]

I love this brand too! Ink painting is probably my favorite because for me it’s like watercolor but the layers don’t reactivate.

[@raquelsalerno5933]

I actually love painting with ink, I treat it as a permanent watercolour ❤

[@ArtOfJCBenson]

These ink paintings turned out so beautiful!! Delightful to watch your process unfold the bee is adorable.. 💖💖

[@unidentifiedshrubz]

I recently painted with some calligraphy ink and I really enjoyed it, but now I'm realizing I COULD PROBABLY GET COOL INK TO PAINT WITH!? omgomgomg

[@nevisnebis1207]

I just checked out the Ferris Wheel Press website and I was absolutely _flabbergasted_ by the inks I saw 😳 like actually go look at the site guys, I know they already look incredible in the video but it only gets better from here

[@emhuesart]

Right?! They're absolutely gorgeous! 😍

[@cakecakecake8656]

Doing my best to get in to my dream art school this year (might update this comment very soon). Thanks to you, Emily, I've improved drastically ever since taking notes from your tips!

[@n.b.5250]

Good luck with that! ❤

[@elizathepainter8604]

The cat portrait was my favorite but all came out so good!! You're a natural with inks.

[@SpontaneousSketches]

The thumbnail is so beautiful !? 🤩 I love your aft style!

[@emhuesart]

Thank you so much! ❤️

[@raquelsalerno5933]

Heikala is an amazing artist who mainly uses coloured inks, you should check out her work for more inspiration!

[@AmberJayneArt]

You’ve created such a beautiful sketchbook spread! I wasn’t sure about the colour palette at first, but I love what you achieved with it; the tones and textures are just so pretty ☺️ You’ve also inspired me to try limited colour palettes in the future!

[@ChantelleArts]

oooh I've never seen ink with glitter in before!! 😮 love the colour combo of these 3 😍

[@emhuesart]

I love the colour combo too! 😍

[@Azfa_]

I'm so glad I found your channel and I've learnt a lot of things from you Emily. Thank you so much for all the awesome videos you made. also really like the aesthetic of your videos, they're very cozy and relaxing to watch. 😊❤

[@emhuesart]

Thank you so much! I am so so glad you enjoy my videos/ find them helpful 🥰

[@maricha8193]

Your paintings are lovely!!! Thank you for the content!!!! Happy Easter :))) 💖💖💖✨✨✨

[@emhuesart]

Thank you so much!! 😊💖

[@liia9736]

I'm only just getting into the ink area, but from what I can tell the paper you use matters quite a bit. I know certain types of paper will show the dimensionality and shimmery-ness better than others. I forget what type of paper, but I remember that watercolor paper wasn't the best (not the worst either).

[@ericastoddard1068]

I love that you painted with these as I’ve been eyeballing them for so long to try and paint with but I have never painted with them or really seen them used for much other than calligraphy either. They really are such beautiful colors and the bottles and boxes are art on their own! I want to get a whole collection 😍

[@ElidaNikolovArt]

Its very interesting how you said you haven't really seen people using inks for painting. I took a module in university where for an entire week we had to use inks, so since then I thought it's a very common thing in art school. Now thinking about, I haven't really seen anyone using it since. There is definitely a different type of beauty to inks than watercolours. I love how they have a different sheen to it and hoe they handle. Great video and lovely paintings as usual. You're a huge inspiration to me and I always enjoy watching your art ☺️

[@preetphoenix1]

Ink paintings are the best. I've myself done a few and I'm so in love with it. Can't wait to see your ink portrait. And yes even I haven't seen many ink drawings in general as much as other mediums

[@zwierzak3241]

I love your cat drawings they always turn out so cute 💕💕

[@emhuesart]

Hehe thank you so much! ❤️

[@VRD586]

Love how it turned out! The ink and technique gives it a mystical feel ❤

[@emhuesart]

Thank you! It definitely felt like a magical medium 🥰

[@winterillust]

such pretty colors! love that burgundy red. and your paintings turned out beautiful!

[@sylvain_st_pierre_2019]

The ink almost gives it a metallic look. Nice. All three came out very good. The cat came out better the second time. By the look in his eyes, i think he just saw the fish on the right. I actually have black i need to try out but these colors here are really cool.

[@JeanetteSalibArtist]

these are wonderful!! i loved the mushrooms and the kitty. I enjoy working with inks, if you are looking for an amazing red, try the Noodler's ink Widow Maker. The color is rich and vibrant and just beautiful!!

[@BoruArt]

I have soooo wanted to try this! For some reason I've gotten on a mailing list for Birmingham Pen - and they have these, just... wow colors. Thank you for the video - I'll definitely try this as soon as inks fit into my budget! (Your cat turned out so nicely, by the way. I agree that the wash at the end added a lot and the emphasis on the eyes made it so perfect!

[@16Ravers]

This was really fun to watch. I LOVE painting with ink 😍 it’s so fun and can be super graphic which i like. Scott M Fischer was the one who got me interested in it originally. Using acrylic ink makes it much like paint but just very thin and definitely will stain your brushes if that matters to you 😂 haha

[@pinksun2]

I've painted with ink in high school. It was nice but i love watercolor so much more.🩷

[@xmoshyMCCOY]

I’d love to get my hands on some of these inks someday. I love painting with inks. My version of “inktober” has always been painting different animals with winsor and newton brand inks. I love the way they mix and sometimes separate as they dry.

[@emhuesart]

Your version of inktober sounds lovely! I hope you get the chance to try these some day! 🥰

[@sarajamal799]

Lovely drawings!

[@mrwoodandmrtin]

Yup, it's layered technique. Like the designer markers. 20 layers wouldn't be too much. Really light. compositing up. You have all the time in the world to choose another shade darker with 40 layers.

[@alexalemon7821]

I like to use the inks with shimmer two ways ; one not shaken for lots less shimmer and two shaken for much more intense shimmer.

[@emhuesart]

This is something that did cross my mind- now I absolutely need to try it! Thank you! 👀❤️

[@fuzzydragons]

they def have some very pretty inks! and yay for another canadian brand! your cat turned out too cute and nicely shaded 🥰

[@emhuesart]

Thank you Fuzzy! 🥰

[@elenacarin9153]

I think the bee is my favorite!

[@MissAdoptaCat]

Just wondering if this would ruin a watercolor brush? I’ve never used inks before. Also, what paper did you decide to use? You are so talented and fun to watch. Thanks for the video. I always look forward to them.

[@ArtwithOlga]

I absolutely love the way you paint. It seems like loose brush strokes but the piece always turns out beautiful. I love these! The colours are beautiful too! I would love to try. I am not good at watercolours but these are so neat!

[@emhuesart]

Thank you so much! I like to think of my painting method as a loose > structured approach 😊 I hope you get the chance to give these a try, they are so lovely to work with! 💖

[@ArtwithOlga]

@@emhuesart And it is so beautiful! I found them online and there are so many amazing colours to choose from😍

[@PinkWytchBytch]

If you want some inks for skintones, Lady Rose by FWP, Rouille D’Ancre by J Herbin, and there’s a line of lipstick themed inks from Taccia that look lovely for it but they’re like almost impossible to get shipped to the states

[@evelynnzc]

Your art is lovely and so inspiring ✨️💓

[@emhuesart]

Thank you so much! 💖

[@liia9736]

Supposedly Ferris Wheel inks are lightfast, but most inks are not at all which is why people don't use ink more, i think. Most of the really fancy inks aren't, though. That and ink is more expensive than regular watercolor pallettes/pans.

[@alexiayoung1225]

A great person to look at for ink painting is Cosmic Spectrum Art. She likes using ink to paint and her art is lovely!

[@emhuesart]

Ooh thank you! I'll have to watch some of her videos!! 💛

[@chiarasola826]

I have just found your channel... everything is so cute here ✨ Obviously I subscribed 😊

[@emhuesart]

A thank you!! Happy to have you here! 🥰

[@JanetGavin]

I have to say you have inspired me to try 😊

[@emhuesart]

Aw that's great to hear! 🥰

[@mrwoodandmrtin]

How do you keep your crisp chiseled style using such a fuzzy medium. This is going to be interesting.

[@emhuesart]

Haha you'll have to wait to find out ☺️ Also, fuzzy is the perfect way to describe inks!

[@mrwoodandmrtin]

As well as fuzzy critters, I suppose you could do forces of nature. or implied action. Or even hard architecture on an atmospheric day. Maybe combine mediums for hard and soft lines. maybe pencil and watercolor? what about dropping a line on a wet page, waiting for it to fuzz out, then making it into something. Probably going to end up with lots of squirrels.

[@emhuesart]

All of the above! I think they'd be fantastic for landscapes 🙌 Thanks for coming along for the ride!

[@mrwoodandmrtin]

Ahh yes, of course. Landscapes. Move over Mr Turner. Funny that A4 paper is either portrait or landscape. Spose that shows art is fascinated with mainly the who and the where.@@emhuesart

[@taylorbiehn2085]

I have 4 of their inks and I love them. I love the ink called buttered popcorn..

[@emhuesart]

Ooh buttered popcorn! I need to try it 😍

[@taylorbiehn2085]

@@emhuesart yes you do

[@apple_3224]

Excuse me ☝️ 😅 are these inks waterproof? I would love to buy some of them but I have this doubt

[@taylorbiehn2085]

@@apple_3224 well kinda but not really.

[@etherealgirl394]

looks so lovely!! the colors are stunning! I'm a bit afraid of ink in general though lol but I guess it's all in practice and being bold >:D someday I'll try

[@emhuesart]

They are so lovely and fun to use! I hope you get to try them someday! 🥰 Thanks for watching, Ethereal!

[@maramia6229]

Hey Emily, what equipment do you use for filming your videos? Love your work so much, it's really inspiring!

[@emhuesart]

Hey there! I have a link to my amazon list of filming equipment in the description 😄💛

[@RinN3-.]

Beautiful work ❤

[@emhuesart]

Thank you! ❤️

[@oraweetaphianthong877]

Fountain pen inks have properties like shading and sheen that make them look very interesting. I think they make for a great art medium, but unfortunately they are usually not water-resistant and not lightfast.

[@evej8355]

I thought it was a big thing that Canadians do not pronounce the second T in Toronto

[@AsmaaAmeer-pt6mg]

I love it ❤❤

[@moodyandtheartist]

This is stunning work! Is there lightfast information for these inks? 🤔

[@emhuesart]

Thank you so much! ❤️ Lightfastness is one thing I'm not 100% sure about. I wish I brought it up in the video, but I completely forgot 😅 The inks used in this video are their fountain pen inks, so I don't believe they are very lightfast, they are also not waterproof (but I enjoy using this factor as part of the creation process). However, they do also carry a collection of opaque calligraphy inks- which are apparently lightfast! Their calligraphy inks are waterproof as well, which could be a pro or a con depending on how you want to work with them.

[@DanicaAndVictoria]

I don't know if you've heard of her, but Sophie McPike likes to use inks, if I'm not mistaken. I think you may like her content and art.

[@emhuesart]

I love Sophie's work! Her KZbin videos are all gems! 🩷

[@betsifolk]

So beautiful 🤩

[@emhuesart]

Thank you! 💖

[@bebbieart]

Do you usually inking your work? Or you doing your outline with any medium? I'm currently having trouble with my work if it's outlineless 😭 but that's the artstyle Im aiming for 😭😭😭 my art ALWAYS looks dull if its not with outline 😭 Hope you understand what I'm trying to say 😂❤️

[@emhuesart]

I don't do a lot of outlining! I don't know why, but my brain just doesn't work that way 😅 When I'm sketching I'll use line, but even then it's more shape design and less outlining. I think because I started by using traditional mediums like oil paint, I kind of trained my brain to see things in that way. Maybe give yourself little challenges where you try to not outline. Do something simple, like an apple, and only use patches of color or value to create the image 😊 It may be really challenging at first, but that just means that you are trying something new and learning! 💗 Thanks for watching!

[@_mia_2922]

I love your cat drawing 🥲🥹💘💘💘

А как называются такие кисти как у вас без острого наконечника?

Are you from Toronto? I am from Windsor I go to Toronto often though for work meetings because our head office is there. I had no idea u were from T.O!

[@emhuesart]

A fellow Canadian! 😄 I am from the GTA, but I no longer live right in the city 💛

[@ekaterinash3546]

i think artists don't use color ink as much because usually its not lightfast

[@emhuesart]

I think you're right! I looked on their website, and they do carry calligraphy inks that are opaque, waterproof, and lightfast.

[@sofia_aa]

Omg new mediums are always so exciting, this looks fun!

[@emhuesart]

Yes!! It's always so much fun exploring a new medium 🥰
