I love these and have used them for years, I originally found them when I was working as a designer. I especially love that they are so versatile, and have used them for fine details on really large paintings.

I didn't specifically test that, but I was able to do multiple layers on top of each other with water mixed in, so at least some what they are.

I just found your channel while searching for what to do with my new acrylic inks. I was disconcerted by them at first since they seemed to be too similar to watercolors (the only medium I don't love as much as others) but now I think I will give them another try. Can't wait to check out more of your videos!

@@RebelUnicornCrafts Did you hear that there is going to be a new BSG? The creator of Mr Robot will be in charge of it. He says it won't be a remake, rather it will be in the BSG mythology universe with totally new stories. The bad news is it will only be on NBC's streaming service.

The reason I don't like watercolour is that it can look pretty insipid, they're not as permanent as other paints and if you try and paint over watercolour it "reactivates". Acrylic ink isn't like this. Once dry you can paint over it to your heart's content. Also you can dilute acrylic ink with water and it really makes a beautiful wash. Having said all that I mostly use acrylic ink as ink and not as paint.. Black acrylic ink is a great alternative to Indian ink, it flows better and longer from the pen and dries 100% waterproof and smudgeproof which Indian ink should but doesn't always do

Hi! great video! The final painting looks amazing with the silver leaf. I was wondering, what type of brushes do you use with acrylic inks and how do you clean brushes and palettes used with acrylic inks? Being permanent once dried, would they ruin a watercolor brush? Thanks!

What’s the fw stand for can’t find it anywhere...
@RebelUnicornCrafts3 жыл бұрын
I....have...never....been so perplexed by a question. I just spent almost an hour googling this after thinking "surely, I can figure it out, I like doing internet sluething". Things I found out, the FW line didn't start with Daler Rowney until they bought Steig Products in 1990 for their ink lines. I was able to find one vintage poster that showed Steig products and Daler Rowney. There was a bottle with a logo that just said "FW ink". the FW is trademarked, so I looked that up and it was TM by "Famous Artist Schools" but that expired in 1992.....and there is no other information. You're right, it's NOWHERE to be found on any website. I have to force myself to stop googling this now. Here are my wild guesses.1. The F stands for Famous, no idea on the W. 2. Fine Writing....since most of the original products are focused on writing inks. 3. The FW stands for something within the Steig products. So in short, I have no idea. Let's make a pact that if one of us ever finds out we make sure to revisit this. I think I will be on the hunt from here on out.
