Ink and Watercolour drawing an old hut in 20 minutes

[@bevett1]

You do a broken and squiggly line and it is artful. When I do a broken and squiggly line it looks like an error! Love this piece of art! Thanks.

[@MartinLachmairArt]

That’s great to hear, thank you so much and keep it up! It’s all about practicing with joy! 🖋️

[@justincumberland8544]

Love that style, so much more interesting than photorealism. Still trying to train my brain to reject the urge to copy and obsess…

[@MartinLachmairArt]

Thank you very much! I am planning a tutorial about how to draw a scene more sketchy and loose 🖋️💯👍

[@nestormairena_0331]

THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO MR. LACHMAIR BECAUSE YOU MADE THIS U.S. MARINE WANT TO TRY OUT THE INK WITH WATER COLOR METHOD

[@MartinLachmairArt]

Hi, great to read such a fantastic feedback! Thanks for that, keep it up 💯🖋️👍

[@The-Lower-Level-Loft]

Love this one, Martin. I first started using stick pens and fountain pens to draw when I was about 13 years old (about 60 years ago -yikes!). I have always loved this medium, as well as watercolor, and really love your loose, artful portrayals of these old buildings. I'd love to see more of these types of sketches.

[@MartinLachmairArt]

Thank you very much for your helpful and motivating feedback! I will keep it up! Best wishes from austria 🖋️👍

[@lynwalsh5974]

Sometimes the rainwater guttering is called SPOUTING. Brilliant en plein air sketch. Your simplification is wonderful. Thanks Martin

[@YolandaLuque]

Love the way you paint, love your style, love the way you make tutorials, love the skill to find charismatic places and sat in front of to paint them… THANKS, for sharing!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻

Hi! Thank you so much for your kind, friendly and helpful feedback! 🙌👍🖋️

Thank you, this was a wonderful video. I learned so much. The rain catcher type things are called "gutters" in America. I really appreciate you sharing your process.🙂

[@MartinLachmairArt]

Thank you for your friendly feedback! And now I know the right word! Greetings from Austria.

[@antondeheer417]

Thanks very much, Martin!! Your video's are very help full to me. I recently start sketching in your style and it gives me very much satisfaction. I have been suffering from Postcovid complaints for over a year, but since I started drawing it has given me a lot of peace of mind. I enjoy your video's and posts on Instagram. I regularly watch your videos and learn from them again and again. Greetings from Anton | The Netherlands.

[@MartinLachmairArt]

First of all let me wish you a speedy recovery and all the best for you! It’s great and motivating for me to read that my little tutorials are helpful in different ways! Thank you so much for your support! Greetings from lower austria! 🖋️👍💯

[@antondeheer417]

Thnx, Martin!!

[@Ilbbrief]

I cannot get enough of your art. The art suppliers should send you a gift because I watched your video on the tools you use and I stocked up!

[@MartinLachmairArt]

Oh wow, what a fantastic feedback on my work! Very motivational, thank you so much for your kind words! 👍🖋️💯

Eavestrough. A trough (pronounced TROFF) that lies below the eaves. Love the drawing. My brush pen ink isn’t 100% waterproof but the diffusion of ink adds to the effect. These are great exercises to do when time is limited and we all need practice. (I do, anyway!)

[@lourdesgomezbeato4071]

Precioso muy bonito. Agradecreia para aprender de ti que mostraras la hoja completa con los bordes y como mezclas los colores . Tus tonalidades son magníficas. Gracias de todo corazon

[@farmerfox3332]

Great! Going out in the next couple weeks to give plein air a try. Only have done it once last fall. The name of the rain catcher on the building is called eavestrough. Thanks again. Love the video.

[@TheMichaela67]

Thank you Martin. Am going to have a go at this. Also a great tip about the sketchbook. I waste so much expensive watercolour paper and always worry about using less thick /heavy paper but these types of sketches use little water so i guess they are fine!

[@MartinLachmairArt]

That’s all we do in the beginning: to be too much focused on specific tools, of course it’s an important part of it but most important is to practice and have fun with it! 👍🖋️

[@authentickidd8268]

Rainwater goods/gutters/guttering... love the looseness of the work... I definitely need to loosen up with my work. Thank you!

Thank you Martin for the videos. Your art is absolutely amazing. Can you please make a full video from start to finish with a reference photo frozen in one of the corner for full video. That will allow real time comparison and your thought process.

[@markdoherty754]

My biggest problem is lack of patience, I think it comes from a worklife mindset where everything has a deadline. I've found it so hard to relax and enjoy drawing .

[@MartinLachmairArt]

well, I had the same problem in my younger years, but then maybe take a style where you can go very quick and very loose. so maybe this is more fun in your case. 🖋️👍 because the most important thing is to find everybody’s own way like your handwriting.

I really like your style…thanks for posting the things you do. I have one question: how does that lightweight paper not buckle and pool the paint when you add watercolor? Vielen dank!

[@MartinLachmairArt]

Thanks a lot! Indeed I get this question quite a lot! To be honest I don’t know. It’s only 125gr. it buckles but not that much you would expect it!

[@birbtunes]

Are you doing any workshops etc in Poland this year? I'm planning to go visit Poland at some point this year to try and trace my ancestry. My father immigrated to Canada after WWII.

[@AndreyShlyahov]

Very interesting! But why doesn't wet watercolor wash away the ink strokes?

[@MartinLachmairArt]

Thank you! I use waterproof ink, in this case it’s „sketch ink” by rohrer und klingner. Or you can use „carbon ink” by platinum.

[@AndreyShlyahov]

​@@MartinLachmairArtI've heard that waterproof ink ruins fountain pens. Or is it some special ink?

[@janmckenzie]

​@@AndreyShlyahovThe carbon Platinum is for fountain pens. It will not clog your pen unless you let it sit without use for a few weeks, some say a month at most. If you're not going to use it for a few weeks I would recommend emptying the pen and cleaning it for storage.

[@kacher-0000]

Nice work Martin. It was a visit in POLAND?
