Speedball Ink Tutorial and Review - theartproject (Feb 20, 2018)

One of my students asked about one of the portraits that I did in ink. I decided to make a video on it. I use Speedball Ink and pens and brushes and demonstrate that here.

hello, not sure if you will see this but i thought i would leave this. If you want a nice cheap copy paper that isn't crap/takes ink or water well, hp premium 32. I got that for learning ink work with pens, have yet to have it bleed out even when going on thick, and recently spilled a full soda on a small stack of paper, my normal copy paper on that stack (about 40 sheets total) is now unusable however the hp 32 that took the brunt of it looks near perfect, I 100% believe you could wash the paper for watercolor and it would be 'fine' (not that it would be good for watercolor, but that it isn't going to wrinkle) so cost vs what you get, I think this paper is near perfect at the very least for ink work if not light watercolor washes over the top.

great video!

is this indain ink are standrad retail or black because i don't know which one are the best to use on painting picture

[@theartproject]

Black Speedball is the best. It doesn't have to say India on the label. I also use Noodler's Ink. You should be able to find an Amazon link to one or the other or both in the description.

Is it a quit drying waterproof ink?

[@rodolfo_mdn]

Hello! I'm new to your channel and videos. I just bought this ink to mix it with watercolors, but I have no previous experience in doing so. I've always drawn in pencil, then do the watercolor magic and at the end I outline with ink (once the watercolors have dried). But I wanted to explore the opposite. Go crazy with the sketching and then adding watercolor. I bought it because on the label it says "waterproof", so it should work right? Have you mixed this Speedball Super Black ink with watercolors?

[@theartproject]

Hey! Nice to have you watching. As far as I know I have never mixed the ink and the wc on the same work of art. So unfortunately I can't help. But I think I will give it a try pretty soon.

[@thefilthygringo9228]

Can you dye a white rubber shoe sole with this. Will the ink absorb into the rubber and make it permanent?

[@theartproject]

I wouldn't think so. But I have never tried.

[@Heavy69Metal]

My question is this on compressed pulp paper that’s been dyed by fabric dye stick to it and be waterproof and if dye that same paper with India ink stop the bleeding of the fabric dye and make the paper waterproof with the India ink on it?

[@theartproject]

I am not sure I understand your question, but I can tell you there is no fabric or fabric dye used in the video. Also, I have not used fabric dye so I am not sure what it would do with this speedball ink. I am sorry I could not be more helpful.

[@Heavy69Metal]

@@theartproject if someone used fabric dye on compressed pulp paper and decided to paint over that with India ink would it cover the dye and over take it and be permanent and waterproof and run proof if it got wet?

[@theartproject]

@@Heavy69Metal not sure. I have never used fabric dye.

[@Heavy69Metal]

@@theartproject will India ink used on compressed pulp papery be not only Waterproof but also permanent as well and not run when submerged or severely wet?

[@ozdamar5392]

Can be used with pilot parallel pen?

[@theartproject]

Sorry, I am not sure. I have never used a pilot parallel pen.

[@ilovedapikachu758]

What do you do with the water that was used to wash the ink out of the brushes? Do you just dump it down the sink?

[@theartproject]

yes.

[@ilovedapikachu758]

@@theartproject Thank you for replying.

[@theartproject]

Yep!

[@ronnetteharvey6781]

Man put that dirty water in a container and reuse it.

Can we use speedball to refill pigma microns ?

[@theartproject]

No idea. Try it out and let me know.

[@numinous123]

​@@theartprojectspeedball has shellac in it, so that's not a great idea.
