Testing Saiboku Shimbi ink sticks

[@kikalcala]

Everytime I watch videos about art supplies that I would love to have, I need to remind myself that TALENT IS NOT INCLUDED in the box. Lmao.

[@amberdreams_0]

I have that problem too. 😂

[@DeamonSun]

Same here.

[@Salviamente_Celes]

stop feeling sorry for yourself and do something about it

[@plumadeprimavera]

@@Salviamente_Celes no need to be rude

[@skykid7124]

@@plumadeprimavera he's not being rude, he's right, it's not all about talent, if you practice and work hard you can get better

[@haikino]

a small tip: it's a lot easier to extract the pigment if you grind the stick with its end flush to the stone instead of on its corner 😊

[@prof.pinetree]

Aye. I was terrified by her grinding it by the corner.

[@mxwitcher]

Yeah, it really peeved me when she did that, but I understand why and the video is still great so 🤷

[@ashleighlittle7832]

So straight up and down?

[@prof.pinetree]

@@mxwitcher I agree

[@MiguelEnriqueCVeluz]

@@ashleighlittle7832 Grind the brick upright, with the bottom of the brick flush on the stone, in a fluid and consistent circular motion as if you're sketching circles.

[@diannebencito2089]

This was so soothing and the painting looks so captivating.

[@emilylee675]

Thank you so much for making such a detailed video to show these ink sticks in action! ✨ I took shodo (Japanese calligraphy) for 5 years while living in Japan, and we used black ink sticks like this. But I had no idea there were colored versions!! Now I am dying to try them out for both painting AND calligraphy. Not to mention, they are packaged so irresistibly it makes me want to eat them lol 😍 🌸 incredible work as always! 🌸

[@SanjanaRanasingha]

Pretty flowers

[@ilondeliest6085]

The perfect combo of amazing art, aesthetics and ASMR

[@sersasmr]

Exactly, this is so relaxing

[@darinpringle5611]

Throughout the whole of the final painting I kept thinking it looks perfect as it is now but with every single stroke of the brush it just got better and better. You're an astounding artist

[@baananajam]

You are my absolute favorite artist. This is breathtaking, and watching you paint is mesmerizing. I learn so much from observing. I hope you know how much your work means to people like me!!

[@hummingbird6206]

So much better when quality artists know what they do when they test art stuffs they are so many youtuber that are "testing" but actually don't even know how to correct use the stuff

[@aleahlrb]

It makes you cringe when you yourself are a user of the medium.

[@julyj6424]

it's funny you're saying this but she's grinding the ink stick the wrong way. you're supposed to grind it flat and upright against the stone or else you'll damage the ink stick and the ink will come out grainy.

[@TacoTuesdayzz]

I don't think its a bad thing to see ppl try new things, you get to see a persons real struggle when it comes to learning. Sometimes seeing "professionals" can unknowingly cause others to not even want to try new art mediums. I do think ppl should label there experience with the medium in the title or video so ppl won't watch it thinking "omg they suck" or "what the heck is happening?".

[@pepperpan794]

My favorite part was when you dabbed a whole tissue roll on your piece 😂 (9:17). Amazing work! I am learning so much through your videos. Thank you for this!

[@Kt-cn2rq]

Lol same if this was last year people would been mad about the toilet paper but I find it hilarious. Guess if you hoarded so many use it for art work.

[@fogsmog9325]

This is the water shade of my dreams, I love how natural the petals are placed.

[@aarokami9569]

I was nervously laughing during the entire video bc of how good it was hahaha she d make u think doing watercolor is like cooking pastas. Anyway I loved it very asmr vibes here for it

[@keleiliang2045]

oh my god... she really does make it look THAT easy. insane.... it's getting hard to keep my grip on the reality that i don't have that skill

[@VirginaYasmin]

oh u can cook pasta?

You gotta thank those damn bots sometimes, man This is the recommendation i want

[@tmrider60]

Right??!!!!

[@sampathganesh6097]

And sometimes you (we) curse them for recommending those 7 - 9 year old videos 🗿

[@rashmikapeddamatham8306]

@@sampathganesh6097 I ducking know right....😪

[@ItzDaPurrr]

Ive never been so relaxed watching a KZbin video before

[@mmveelee]

I gasped when you grinded the ink stick using the corner 😭. You should hold the ink stick upright. Still, a beautiful video! Love your artwork.

[@natalierivera8421]

This was lovely to watch! The final piece is so beautiful and has a quiet tranquility that is like a breath of fresh air. I hope this becomes a print on your shop because it's just incredible💖 I especially love the detail with the petals in the water and how parts of them are submerged while others sit on the surface.

[@jimjam8593]

Your art is the soul embodiment of daydreams and magic

[@Rich77UK]

Beautiful products. Its so nice seeing the Japanese keeping these traditional skills and arts alive.

[@jas_purr]

something about heikalas art always makes me want to start weeping, absolutely stunning work as always

[@aesculapius9990]

Im so damn happy heikala is finally updating their youtube

[@keldyshka]

this is beautiful :) i've used black ink sticks before that my dad brought from China when i was little, but i've never heard of coloured ones!

[@PeaceCommando]

I love the way you built this painting with layers of color, and it seemed so effortless. Beautiful end result!

[@tobubiify]

Your voice is built for asmr. Also drawing is one of the thing that i love to watch and hate to do, you just got a new subscriber!

Came to watch a brunch of coloured sticks, stayed in complete awe for ten minutes straight once you started that drawing.

[@marianadurana3990]

I love the tone of your voice and the look of your artwork - both soothing and beautiful. Lots of love! 💓

[@apurvamandwekar6503]

Oh my goddd❤️❤️ the color pallet u used and whole painting is so good looks so simple and effortless yet so difficult 🥺🥺

[@LizethBaal]

Beautiful as always

[@onceagain569]

I might just buy this collection just for the little wooden boxes ;) The paints are gorgeous, almost muted in my opinion, very subdued and soft, but most importantly, the packaging is charming! I love little storage boxes, especially wooden 🙌 Can't wait to try this out! 💚

[@blackdragon796]

The colors seems to be the same that ghibli use for his background. Like in the tale of princess kaguya for exemple. I thought about it when she started painting a strawberry.

[@vanessagomez4668]
