Expressive Ink & Watercolor Chrysanthemum Tutorial

[@ThePattiw]

Nice demo! With the Sailor Fude nib pen the best way to get very thin lines is use the nib upside down, it is designed to work that way. and The Carbon Ink is one of the best!

Exactly what I was getting ready to type too!

[@OhnMarWinArt]

Thanks for the tips!

Lovely video and I've ordered your book, Ohn Mar. Very excited. I may also cave on this pen having held back for some time on new pen orders. Thank you for your generous sharing.

This is exceptionally beautiful and I learned a lot, thank you so much ! ❤

I’ve been using Amsterdam Acrylic ink in my fountain pens. It certainly wouldn’t have occured to me, but it says on their website that you can. I have oxide black and burnt umber in some inexpensive chinese made dropper fountain pens. I fill the pen, then dump the ink back into the bottle then refill the pen with distilled water. That gives me a dilution that flows through the pen and hasn’t clogged them up so far.

[@OhnMarWinArt]

Thats really interesting to know

I don't know the brand so that may be safe, but in general, acrylic inks will damage or destroy fountain pens. Just adding this for any new users of FPs (I have collected and used them for 50 yrs)-if you choose to do this, you should probably only use it with inexpensive pens, and clean them out after using it.

As always, I just love to watch you paint and ink. I'm thoroughly enjoying your skillshare classes -- highly recommend! I would love to see you paint marigolds. I have a lot of them in my yard just now. Very fall-esque!

[@OhnMarWinArt]

Mary thanks for the suggestion

[@Ncstefanie]

Beautiful video!! I also just watched your sunflower video. I absolutely love the line work!! you had asked for suggestions… How about some cactus? I love leaves and plants. ❤ thank you so much for sharing your talent!

[@OhnMarWinArt]

Great suggestion!

[@bfranklin1052]

Enjoyed this very much. It was hard to see how the stems would unfold with all the yellow, but they came together once the ink was added. Lovely!

[@OhnMarWinArt]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Littlittleti]

Thank you for the demo! I love your style and have gleamed so much from you from your videos over the years 🥰

[@OhnMarWinArt]

Thanks so much 😀

[@Linna_fleur]

Great video! ❤

[@OhnMarWinArt]

Glad you liked it!!

[@debsllewelyn230]

Hi Ohn Mar and thanks for this fab video. Could I ask you which colours you're using please they are so vibrant. Thanks!

[@fabd8067]

Hiya ~ from memory Ohn Mar used her favourite Opera Rose pink & in the larger flower toned the pink down with a bit of Potter’s Pink; stems were mainly Green Gold & some yellow & a bit of Perelyne Green for darker shadow area… hope this helps!?

[@OhnMarWinArt]

Thanks so much for helping out with this I really appreciate it.

[@amymcclain5370]

Beautiful relaxing video. Thank you for sharing. I tend to draw with ink first and then fill in color. I think your method gives a more relaxed, energetic feel. Definitely will try this method.

[@OhnMarWinArt]

I should do a video where I draw with ink first and see how it compares - thanks for sharing that

[@SewArtyAnna]

In an art class at a local college they showed us both ways. I def prefer paint followed by ink. I get too caught up in detail otherwise

[@juliekbrooks]

Thank you Ohn Mar. I purchased a Sailor Fude pen after taking an online sketch class during Covid. The artist sketched with the pen upside down to use the tip to vary the width of the line. She also recommended brown document ink. I will have to figure out where I put those. I just bought your book and can't wait until it arrives.

[@OhnMarWinArt]

Wonderful to know!

[@mschnabelcomms]

Thank you, Ohn Mar, for sharing this technique. I will try it next. Love your videos.

[@OhnMarWinArt]

You are so welcome Maria

[@Ncstefanie]

Ohn- I just joined Skillshare using your link to take your class. So excited! ❤🎉

[@OhnMarWinArt]

Yay! Thank you!

[@tracyanderson4168]

Great video. I'd love to see you do Poppies. If your looking for a good waterproof brown fountain pen ink, try DeAtramentis Document ink in Urban Sienna (they also have just a plain brown).

[@OhnMarWinArt]

Great suggestion! Thanks

[@nathalieheath5693]

Brilliant❤❤

[@twisteddyekitchenmyfiberjo4577]

Love, Love, Love this style and technique. On the Fude nib, a teacher recommended to turn the pen upside down, the feed is away from you and the bent/tip area performs thin lines... I need to get those pinks, they are gorgeous and not in my pallet. Thanks for sharing your talent!

[@OhnMarWinArt]

That's a great idea! Thanks

[@fabd8067]

Thx Ohn Mar so much for sharing your technique in real time from beginning to end - it helped get a better understanding of how you accomplish such a beautiful loose floral finish! I would love to see you do this again with any other florals (& berries) you choose… 🩷🌷💛🪻💚🌸 I’ve also got a fude fountain pen with black ink after seeing so many artist using it with gorgeous outcomes, however whenever I’ve used it ~ I find the thick black lines a bit too overpowering!!😬😖 Perhaps using a De Atramentis brown or sepia brown ink might help with this, as well as using the fude nib upside down for thinner lines!? I’ve got to try n play with it again… It amazes me how you use just a few ‘squiggly’ ink lines to ‘suggest’ overall shape ~ something else I must do is use your same restraint to say more with less!! 😃🙏🏻💚

[@OhnMarWinArt]

I'm still getting used to it, and I'm sure it will be come more natural than more I practice

[@SuzanneMcDonald-q6d]

Thanks for this video…I do find it so relaxing to watch….now I’ll have to see if I feel the same when I paint. 😊I could try the taking-my-glasses-off technique❣️I just went and saved your classes on SkillShare❣️

[@OhnMarWinArt]

Thanks so much for this lovely comment

[@MartevanSanten-dy2wg]

I use Octopus write and draw ink in my Sailor fountain pen, in the colour brown seahorse. It’s gorgeous and works very well!

[@OhnMarWinArt]

That’s great to hear

[@VICKI-d5q]

Lovely video, thank you. I actually prefer the fountain pen. It seems to give a more expressive line than the dip pen. I would like to see a hydranga please.

[@OhnMarWinArt]

Thanks for the hydrangea idea

[@karinj.6938]

Hi Ohn Mar , thank you so much for your Video which was very interesting and informative for me 🤗. Thank you also for asking which flower we would like you to paint next…here comes my wish and it‘s a rose, please, in that style. 🌹

[@OhnMarWinArt]

For sure ! I'd love to paint a rose with this method

[@karinj.6938]

This would be great 😊 Thank you !

[@siobhanwilliams9189]

Dahlias .... and what sketchbook are you using?

[@fabd8067]

Oh YES: DAHLIAS would be lovely to see ~ one of my favourite flowers!! 🩷

[@OhnMarWinArt]

It's the Hahnemuhle watercolour, sketchbook A4 size
