PAINTING IN MY HOBONICHI COUSIN // Painting with fountain pen inks!

[@littleoldemeartistry-marieehi]

Brilliant idea. I have a couple of shimmer inks that I haven't had success with in my pens. This could be a great use for them. Thanks for sharing.

[@KarynaLovesToPlan]

Glad it was helpful!

[@ramonafirehorse]

I definitely want to paint in my Hobonichi!

[@KarynaLovesToPlan]

Yay! You can do it!

[@techplannerbabe]

You TRY...Heck Nah You kicked ass! I loved this# #insp🦹🏿‍♀️🧜🏾‍♀️🍇🏩

[@KarynaLovesToPlan]

Thank you!

[@FrenchyInFocus]

This is just breathtaking Karyna! Opera Rose really transforms with a brush and all that shimmer!! Can you imagine a cousin full of these on every page 😍

[@KarynaLovesToPlan]

Thank you, Paris! I'm working on a B6 notebook with florals on every page.

[@katface28]

I love painting in inks in my Hobonichi.

[@KarynaLovesToPlan]

Yay! It's so fun and I'm so glad I tried it!

[@dashsunil]

Wow. You are an artist, Karyna. 😁 Looking at your pages makes me smile. 😊 Looking at mine makes me 😬☹️

[@KarynaLovesToPlan]

Oh thank you! You can do it too! 😊

[@artemisceleste]

Absolutely gorgeous!

[@KarynaLovesToPlan]

[@lindseyfrazier3298]

COOL!!!!!

[@julesgeremaia4663]

WOW that is just gorgeous! I love it. So wish I was this artistic. 🤩

[@KarynaLovesToPlan]

You can do it! I started with beginner tutorials on YT!

[@mariafagerlundStylophile]

I love this, give us more :)

[@lianelikes]

oh my goodness, painting with the shimmering inks creates a beautiful look! the completed pages are so gorgeous...

[@KarynaLovesToPlan]

Thank you so much! Did you see how Opera Rose has transformed? I need a full bottle of this ink!

[@lianelikes]

@@KarynaLovesToPlan No I missed that part, just re-watched it and I am blown away! St Louis Art Supply is selling them, you should grab a bottle! You've inspired me to try painting with fountain pen inks. The shimmer inks are glorious and seriously, Opera Rose takes shading to another level!

[@lianelikes]

I also have to say that I love the crinkling sound of the finished pages...

[@Abigail_Estrada]

It’s so pretty❤

[@CS_2306]

So pretty!! Thanks for inspiration!

[@KarynaLovesToPlan]

Thank you! 😊

[@BooknBroom]

This is STUNNING! I am actually considering getting my first hobonichi planner now that I have moved into only using fountain pens, I want to plan with paper that will allow all the wonderful ink properties to shine. Thank you for always taking these chances and sharing your process with us. It is helping me be brave in my own fountain pen exploration. I love your channel and have been just going back through your catalogue all day!

[@ThatLoganChick000]

This is a beautiful way to personalize your Hobonichi Cousin. The paintings are lovely, and that you were able to utilize your fountain pen inks like that is nothing short of brilliant! Heck, yes, I’ll be trying it!

[@KarynaLovesToPlan]

Yay Rebecca! Yes, this has helped me use up a handful of samples this month!

[@kimdanielson]

That is so pretty, and I definitely would like to see you do more videos of your work. Unfortunately. I do not have an artistic bone in my body other than I like to look at it. It never occurred to me that you could paint with fountain pen ink but it turns out that it's beautiful. I like it so much better than watercolors in the hobonichi!

[@KarynaLovesToPlan]

Thank you so much, Kim! Fountain pen ink is definitely different to watercolour and painting on Tomoe River Paper is different than watercolour paper but that's what I find so fun!

[@1952Obiwan]

I do this all the time and I consider the ghosting a bonus pastel look that is completely different from the other side. Fun stuff and another way to utilize my ink resources.

[@KarynaLovesToPlan]

Yes, I agree about the ghosting!! And yay for using our stash!

[@PlanBudgetDisney]

Are you still painting with fountain pen ink? I loved this so much and thank you for the referencing the tutorials. I can't wait to give it a try.

[@KarynaLovesToPlan]

Not as much as I used to - I paint then actually make them into stickers for my shop!

[@michalmarcus9562]

Your painting experiment turned out so beautiful. I would love to see ,more of this. The black ink for journaling was, indeed, a good choice. The mixed colors came out gorgeous, and when you tilt your Cousin just right, the shimmer is absolutely WOW! You inspire me to try painting with my inks as well. Thank you!

[@KarynaLovesToPlan]

Thank you Michal! This was very fun and I will be continuing to do this!

[@Laly7]

Love this!! Beautiful floral painting. And great idea! Thank you!

[@KarynaLovesToPlan]

Thank you! 😊

[@connieanderson6339]

Beautiful florals! You've inspired me to give it a try. Thank you!

[@KarynaLovesToPlan]

Go for it!

[@CharMeezy21]

So gorgeous! Definitely want to try using my inks to paint

[@KarynaLovesToPlan]

A great way to use your stash!

[@mrdcoolblue]

Gorgeous illustrations! This video really made me want to break out my sample inks and try painting with them

[@KarynaLovesToPlan]

I'm so glad! Go for it!

[@christinas8792]

It turned out so beautiful! I absolutely loved these pages. You did awesome!

[@KarynaLovesToPlan]

Thank you so much!

[@Tina.Journals]

Stunning! The areas with the bleed through/shadowing look lovely with the writing over the top. I've been using watercolor in my tomoe river paper journals for years and I just love it. The crinkle is great. I've recently been using my inks to fill Kuretake Karappo brush pens; it's nice having a brush pen with the same ink as my fountain pens plus a great way to use up all that ink!

[@KarynaLovesToPlan]

What a great idea! I should get my water brush pens out and do this!

[@smilejuliaaa]

This looks so pretty! 😍 Thank you for showing the after the pen pages. I subscribed!

[@KarynaLovesToPlan]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@LadyoftheValley]

That was great to watch. I had some space left in my journal, so you inspired me. I only had a pencil, so I made it a sketch. At the moment I'm using an Archer and Olive, so I could actually do a lot of painting in my planner, what I did in the beginning, but I was in the middle of moving and renovating. Before we unpacked we had to move again and my room is still not finished, so I haven't had access to my stuff for more than 2 years. Next year I want to get into a hobonichi HON, that's why I thought I could do only a bit of pencil, maybe Tombow. But this looks very nice and I would mind the bleed through either.

[@KatiesCraftStudio]

It's so fun to see you in action! I'm inspired! I've been practicing on paper that I'm now realizing is 68gsm so I'll have to test it out on 52gsm and see how I feel.

[@KarynaLovesToPlan]

It's amazing how papers are sooooooooooooo different! I can't wait to see what you do!

[@tiffanyc.5206]

This is so beautiful!!! 😍

[@KarynaLovesToPlan]

Thank you!! 😊

[@ahopegraham]

So beautiful. Do you think the paper would behave the same if I used watercolors?

[@loracharis6814]

I think it should. Its easier to paint with watercolor than with ink. In both cases I think managing the water in brush would be key.

[@KarynaLovesToPlan]

I believe the paper would hold up well to watercolour for sure!

[@Quiney08]

This turned out gorgeous. Especially with the shimmers. I was thinking about learning to do some art with fountain pen inks, so thank you for posting this. I’m having trouble finding the links to the paint brush and the other KZbinr that you mentioned you got the tutorials from. Do you have the links for those two things?

[@KarynaLovesToPlan]

Yes! Sorry I missed this. Videos I refer to: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e2bOYap_hcZ7e7M - @EmmaLefebvre kzbin.info/www/bejne/rne4nYaNq9F-f7M - @JennaRaineyChannel Watercolour brushes: amzn.to/3ExrKqb

@@KarynaLovesToPlan Thank you!!

[@kailahmom1]

I really love this idea❤. I just wish I had painting or drawing talent. Sadly, I do not and I have accepted that 😂

[@KarynaLovesToPlan]

I didn't think I had the talent but I started with YT tutorials and I'm still learning!
