KatArtDay: trying out Winsor & Newton colour inks for the first time!

NOW COMPLETE WITH AN AWKWARD PAUSE I FORGOT TO EDIT OUT! aaawyeaaaaaaaahhh
My first time ever playing around with these dreamy inks - with swatches!
Shades used were: Emerald, Purple, Scarlet, Vermilion, Violet and Sunshine Yellow. Each is about £3.50 and they are available in most UK art shops.
These feel kinda like very pigmented watercolours, premixed for you. Obviously can also be used with pens, but as a leftie I have been scarred by calligraphy pens forever - so I tried them with brushes only for now! Vermilion and Scarlet are absolutely stunning colours!
Basically getting drunk on camera. Yeah.
Soju is a huge thing in Korea - I'd say huger than sake in Japan, more like wine in Italy! It's everywhere, it's cheap, you drink it with anything and if you don't you get looked at weird.

I totally understand what you mean about the colours! I picked up a Brick Red and the Canary yellow from my local art shop. I can get a huge range just from those two colours. The brick red is especially interesting- it applies as quite a dark, neutral red, but as soon as I water it down it turns into the most amazingly fluorescent flamingo pink. I'm not sure if this is to do with the pigment load of perhaps the solubility or abundance if certain pigments in the ink. Either way, very inspiring! Thanks for the upload, you've gained yourself a new subscriber :D

I know right? They're crazy! I wish I was a lot better at scanning though, so far I've always lost this magical vibrancy in the scanning process ./

[@wandererak9705]

In my experience the Windsor and newton company make the best inks, Like they are bright, they last and are just so much fun to work with

[@PumpkinPails]

The purple one is my absolute favorite color from the collection. It doesn't really look purple at all, to me, but it's still a beautiful color.

[@PumpkinPails]

What is it with these bots talking to each other, now?! Wth

[@MeretelovesJapan]

Wow those color are really pretty! I love bright colors like those. And happy belayed birthday :D You look really pretty in this video btw :)

[@Kakibot]

Thankoooo

[@MeretelovesJapan]

It's really cute! I think Vila is Danish, but yeah they have cute clothes. It's similar to other Danish stores such as Vera Moda, Only and Pieces. I think I'm going to go crazy in Zara and Primark when I go to Edinburgh though :D I really like your makeup too ^^

[@JustaGTO]

Learned from seeing you use the white pen for clarity of dimension! Thank you. Marsha

[@ponchosandumbrellas]

I wanna start using ink and I wanted to make sure Windsor and newton was a good brand so thank you I have my mind set on Windsor and Newton now!! Great video

[@Kayla.V]

The gold ink from winsor and newton is so magical!

[@rebeccahenderson9599]

You are so adorable!! Loved your video from Canada!! keep posting...I subscribed!!

[@Kakibot]

Aaaww thank you .) I definitely want to do more art supply reviews in the future - I bought the Winsor & Newton brushmarkers and I'm super curious how they stack up against my beloved copics! .)

[@icha_carmen]

Your new office looks so Awesome!

[@Kakibot]

Aw, thank you so much! I was lucky that those metal grids were on sale just when we moved .D

[@Tania_Doodlezilla_Vincent]

haha, I just wrote 'how to use inks' into google , clicked on the video that looked the prettiest and you popped up :D

[@Kakibot]

Haha .D glad algorithm is working in my favour but not sure if this video was super helpful

[@cidneyowen5589]

Idk if you didn’t say it or if I didn’t catch it but I was wondering if the inks were waterproof. It’s kind of a huge selling point for me since I use both water color and ink in my artwork. Which I use the ink to do line art most of the time for my pieces. The problem is I have a hard time finding waterproof colored ink so I was just wondering if the were.

[@Kakibot]

Hello! Their website says that apart from the metallics (gold and silver) and the liquid indian black ink they are water resistant when dry (and water soluble before dry)!

[@cidneyowen5589]

Kakibot thank you very much!!! 🙏🏻

[@Atrapadoenelsistema]

Very interesting, thanks for sharing

[@skaweirromeda6787]

Do these reactivate with water after dry?

[@theoceanghost1117]

Unknown Bih I would assume so as you can get drawing inks in a pan that you activate with water

[@rhiannn2292]

they’re water resistant

[@benjohns2828]

THOSE EEEEYYEESS THO

[@anyacavan3877]

I wondering shaking the bottles before use makes any difference? They look soooooo fun!

[@Kakibot]

I gave it a go but didn't seem like there was much noticeable difference. However while I was at it I at least remembered a technique we used in first grade (so professional! .D) when you dump a bunch of ink on a card and then blow on it, creating weird spider-esque patterns. I'm not sure if I can use that for anything serious but I really want to .D Nostalgia!

[@masonroebuck1293]

Windsor and Newton do have a canary yellow ink

[@marymary5494]

👌 Thankyou

[@jenniferjoy8532]

Are you Dutch? Because you sound like my mom speaking English but you did say you live in Britain so I’m not sure :)

[@Kakibot]

Haha, that's interesting because I get so many people on KZbin guessing Dutch when I am in fact Czech! (dating an Englishman but working with Americans, so it's just a mess really)

[@jenniferjoy8532]

Kakibot ah that’s really interesting! And I’m sorry for asking, I guess you get that question a lot🙈

[@Kakibot]

@@jenniferjoy8532 Nooo not at all! Plus I find it to be kind of a compliment when people guess Dutch cause that's definitely one of my favourite accents among my fellow Europeans! .3

[@curry5136]

You can even get that ink in Japan :D I got my first two Winsor Inks over there. The colours are just so good!

[@Kakibot]

They're magnificent! I wonder what other inks can be bought in Japan - I always go straight for the copic markers when I'm there! .D

[@curry5136]

Kakibot Yeah, Copics are really cheap over here. Converted maybe 2.10€. At the Nagasawa (I don't know if that store name is familiar for you) near my house you can get ca 18 different ink colours. :)

[@Road38910]

Sorry to say, the ´like´s´per sentence is pretty high. Eg, "like this is my favorite colour"......

[@Kakibot]

Not my first language! Sometimes my brain has to go rummage through some vocab and my mouth is trying to fill in the blank space with bad habits.

[@brendavies5805]

The music is too loud xx no need for music as you are doing great

[@kerry5586]

The music is too distracting. It only needs your voice.

[@robertoluna2775]

They are very beautiful colors, but not as much as your eyes
