Love your drawing! And your enthusiasm for Blackwing pencils! I love them, too. Btw, the 602 is their "firm" graphite and the Pearl has slightly darker "balanced" graphite though they're very close in darkness. I agree the dark Matte feels like butter!

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

Oh thank you!

[@alaynastrickland-duffel8981]

I've purchased almost any art supply Karen suggests and she's never wrong. Does her research and provides thorough feedback on products and how to use them - so helpful!

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

Thank you so much for your support and trust, Alayna! :)

[@veronicac6969]

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

Hooray! Glad to help :)

[@ValleyMermaid]

The black one is my favorite too! I love these pencils! I need a journal like that! Thank you, Karen!!!

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

It's so good! Glad you love them too! Thanks for watching!

[@izabellan9706]

So satisfying to watch you draw and paint! It looks awsome! 💜💙💚💛🧡

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

Thank you so much 😀. Glad you think so!

The Pearl is the "balanced" one and the 602 is actually the "firm" one. Great pencils and awesome vid as well. Keep up the great work and great energy.

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

Thank you!!

[@EzeICE]

@karencampbell no probs! 🥰🥰🥰

[@F5_cena]

Volumes are AMAZING

[@F5_cena]

Balanced=pearl

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

👍

[@emmaphilo4049]

I have the black one, it's awesome. It's a flattering tool on my drawings, it truly helped boost my confidence at some point. I recommend it

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

Totally agree!!!

[@ChantelleArts]

this is soo cool, what a fantastic find ❤❤

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

Right!? Its a fav

[@deannamiller2710]

I love my Blackwings and jealously guard them. Ferrules (fair ool - accent on the first syllable) are the metal parts of pencils and brushes that hold the eraser or the bristles. I've used Blackwings in my mixed media, but never used them with a watercolor wash. Thanks for the new technique!

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

Glad you found it helpful!

[@scottmantooth8785]

*so much fun can be had with obtaining new art supplies and experimentation with how they react with each other especially with mixed media...personally i love messing about with super granulating watercolors and very expressive fountain pen inks such as the new batches from FERRIS WHEEL PRESS ... currently have my eye on their new MAJESTIC MAPLE SYRUP...hope to obtain this one soon to add to my distressing/texturing kit*

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

Very cool! Sounds like theres a lot of fun to be had! Will have to check out that majestic maple syrup bath! OMG

[@ChericeByler]

Great pencils and love the drawing!!

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

Glad you agree! Thank you very much!

[@Skittl1321]

A ferrule is the crimpy thing on the top of the pencil that holds the eraser.

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

Thanks for sharing!

[@123gp1833]

Been using Blackwing for decades.

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

So great!

[@dianeo]

This looks SO good! I guess it's probably best to use neutral, earthy colors with the graphite otherwise bright watercolors will look too muddy (?) Anyway, I am a Blackwing fan for sure.

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

All depends on the look you are going for! I use it for everything!

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

But yes it works really well with muted colors!

[@BonnieRocks]

Great video 🙏can you tell me where to get the journal? 🙏

[@KarenCampbellArtist]

I purchased it on Amazon. It's by Speedball :)
