Thank you for sharing this beautiful video. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Escudera_de_Roble]

🎄✨😍 Ink and wash! I love this idea so much, Nia! 😃👍 And it is ideal for those sketchbooks where we don't want to apply too much water! 👌😉 Thank you so much!! 🙏 👏👏👏🤗🥰😘

[@Nianiani]

Oh yess truee! it's a good style for bullet journals as well :D

[@Sandy.4875]

You’re my favorite you tuber❤

[@shangri-laj9578]

I love watching your videos and it helps me try drawing and watercolor, even though I can't draw a lick and I have never practiced watercolor...but you're never too, old to learn!

[@Nianiani]

That's great to hear! Watercolor itself is very versetile, and you can use it in many styles, some techniques don't require as much experience than others, so anyone can use it! :D have fun!

[@MissCarol-gb3]

Thank you…lovely👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@Nianiani]

You're welcome! 🥰

[@judyindorf6522]

I love ink and wash :). and your color pallet is elegant.

[@Nianiani]

These are adorable! Thank you for sharing, I've been looking for Christmas card ideas that are not complicated and can be done quickly. Beautiful, again, Thank you!

[@Nianiani]

Oh perfect! Whenever you need something quick I would recommend using ink and wash :D theres no need or barely any need for layering which makes the process so quick!

[@ChantelleArts]

this is so cute, what a wonderful design ☺

[@Nianiani]

Thank you! I love how simple it is as well because it doesn't require any layering for the painting haha very quick to make :D

I love this - very simple and elegant. Ink & Wash is my "go-to" style but I usually do the ink after painting. I will try this method. I always worry about the ink smearing if not 100% dry before applying water & paint. You proved me wrong! I love the look of both. Thank you. Interesting, I drew along with you on my first attempt but could not get the angles to match; the perspective was all off which is a big part of this drawing. I tried again by first drawing just the cylinder (hat box) then just the cube. Once those matched, I then completed the embellishments of bows/ greenery. Maybe will help others. You have a gift.

[@Nianiani]

Thank you! As long as you use waterproof ink it wouldn't move :D I've had experience with non waterproof ink as well, and it was a mess but I tried to embrace it, luckily it was a lose painting haha

[@peterleprevost2154]

Stunning. I love pen and wash technique. Happy Holidays to all. Susan

[@Nianiani]

Thanks! Happy Holidays!

[@jacquiliddell7680]

Fabulous ! Something really different, limited palette really worked well with the pen drawing. I am just worried that my drawing skills are not good enough, because I think that’s the main element with these designs. Thank you for coming up with these for us.❤

[@Nianiani]

If you need I do have an outline that you can purchase from my ko-fi shop. Only if you need it though :) ko-fi.com/s/e50aba1eb7
