I might have have a solution to taking the inks out for sketching. Put the ink inside of eye dropper bottles, the ones artificial tears for dry eyes come in. One can get empty ones in bulk. They're small enough that one could perhaps fit 6 to 8 bottles in a pencil pouch. From a dropper one can easily control how much ink they want to use. No waste. 😃👍 One thing to be mindful of is to keep the inks stored away from light when not using them as the bottles are transparent. Thanks for the very helpful video. It's inspiring.

Thanks for sharing! That is a good idea. I use a tiny amber glass bottles with dropper to hold my inks. Plastic ones would be lighter to carry!

You have a wonderful way of making art interesting. Makes me want to go out and buy a whole heap of inks. Thank you for sharing.

[@eurekawanders]

Oh no what did i do again! 😂 There is no need to buy the whole bottle! try buying small samples first~

[@lesleypickard9732]

@@eurekawanders it’s ok. I meant buy a whole heap of coloured inks :)

I actually bought an ink last year for Inktober and had a difficult time using it. I was using as a wash with brush. It seemed to dry before too long on the paper. I couldn't get it to spread. I don't remember the name of it, right now. Thanks for sharing 😊

[@eurekawanders]

oh? did you wet the paper first? try wetting next time . it will help.

[@impish22]

I am in U.S. do you have a link to those refillable pens? that you showed at the end of the video? I can't read what they are called?

[@felipediazvlog]

Awesome inks! Questions, what is the name and brand of the third paper to the right, on minute 6:30? Thanks! Looks beautiful!

[@eurekawanders]

Yupo synthetic paper.

[@foundingfodder8225]

What paper do you recommend with doing ink washes, besides watercolor paper?

[@eurekawanders]

Mixed media papers are ok,
