You are skilled and BRAVE …. Fun to watch … Beautiful effect ! THANKS !

Thank you so much for your kind feedback👍🖋️💯

Proving that it's not the pen - Its the Person that creates Art.

[@MartinLachmairArt]

Thank you so much!

[@Red_Carnation]

Amen

[@sunnycharacter]

Absolutely! As a photographer for years, one comment always makes me cringe (and I have to ask forgiveness for my reaction) is, “What an amazing photo. You must have a great camera.” 😂

[@niksiever3135]

Another way to do it is draw with permanent ink and add a few lines or drops where you want the shadows and in this way it’s more controlled and doesn’t create a ‘grey soup’. A little goes a long way with the water soluble ink.

[@MartinLachmairArt]

Absolut! Thats what I have shown in most of my other tutorials!

[@jmbosquesillo7203]

Excellent! I use them together all the time. Generally because I forget which pen has what ink in it 😅when out and about. Sometimes I simply want a majority blk/whi/grey sketch with maybe a dab of color. Black inks tend to work like a Neutral with watercolors, makes them darker and more pronounced. Some have blue undertones so, yeah, a yellow may turn greenish.

[@donnabuttons1]

This is one of my favourite techniques. It makes me work more loosely and boldly. It's kind of scary/exciting too 😃

Yasutomo ink is amazing for watercolor -- used primarily for jp/ch paintings specifically sumi-e and shuimohua, and traditional calligraphy

I read the comment while waiting for the video (during a commercial) and I had never seen any of the artists videos and quickly wondered if that was something mentioned…..

Ahhh.. serendipity! Some of the best art comes from happy accidents! The combination of water soluble ink and watercolours in this piece is masterful. I love your pen work, and the composition of the drawing is brilliant. Also the contrast between the crisp outlines of the buidings and the looser style of the trees. Very intrigued by your spattering technique! I have never used a dip pen and I must say I love the whole effect. Off to watch some of your other videos!

[@Regulus1999]

Great video such that I like you were experimenting on a new technique to you but it was live for us to see. Really great drawing / painting at the end, with effects so simply achieved. Ironically I watched your video because I discovered by accident last night that I had drawn with water soluble ink and then added water colour but I was really pleased with the result and will certainly use it again with more practise.

[@user-ur2mu9cm2y]

Thank you so much!

[@naishh]

Somehow I liked water soluble ink more than water proof ink as it is more unpredictable . Also how the artist manipulates it also might make a lot of difference. I absolutely liked it.

[@MartinLachmairArt]

Good point 👍🖋️

[@TerriChannel]

I loved watching this. It’s nice to see that the ink does not completely disappear with water so you can retain a lot of the drawing. Beautiful work!

War sehr interessant, ich hab das auch schon getestet, allerdings nur mit Tinte und Wasser. Gab auch sehr schöne grafische Effekte, mit Watercolor als Mix werd ich demnächst probieren. Danke für die Anregung, sieht sehr interessant aus, hab ein Abo da gelassen 😊 PS: schön auch der Trick mit der Feder für die tollen splatters 👍

[@victoroneschuck4139]

Wonderful Martin. Masterful brush control. I sometimes use water soluble pencil for my sketch. The results are similar, however your use of water soluble ink is much more dramatic. Thanks for sharing your experience! Loved the video.

[@MartinLachmairArt]

I have to thank you for your positive feedback! 🖋️👍💯

[@WhstlblwrBlastingEpsteinsPals]

Thank you for experimenting with this ink for us. I have seen it on Aliexpress and wondered about it. Looks like a great ink to play with. Gorgeous 🎨 work. Bravo.

[@MartinLachmairArt]

Thank you for your interesting and positive feedback! I appreciate that! 👍🖋️

[@vcd6038]

Love seeing you use a dip pen with the ink. I am using the same dip pen for the last 65 years (new nibs of course!). I inadvertently used a fugitive ink for an ink drawing a few months back and was actually pleased with the result. After seeing your video, I believe I will try some water soluble ink more deliberately. Thank you for sharing.

[@MartinLachmairArt]

Thanks a lot for your interesting feedback!! Keep it up 👍🖋️

[@xVentax]

My first time seeing your channel, and now about to subscribe. I love this. I have both inks, but more by accident than intention, and I’m not proficient at using either. I expect you will be using the water soluble quite a bit now - you have quite a lot of it! ☺️

[@MartinLachmairArt]

Thank you! Thats great to read! Well yes there will be some more video about this soluble, half of a liter, ink 😅😅

[@willeel3750]

Very impressive results. I have tried this before but not with such good results. I can see by your example I should have done more lifting. I will try again (and probably again after that), P,S. I like the white highlights

KZbin algorithms suggested your channel to me, and I’m so glad they did. I enjoyed your relaxed method of presentation, and I’m grateful to you for sharing this technique. I have many bottles of non-waterproof ink that I couldn’t find a use for in my sketching… but now you have opened my eyes to their potential. I won’t fool myself into believing that I can create a result as spectacular as yours, but I’m looking forward to experimenting with a new medium. Consider me subscribed. 🙏🏻

Greetings from Canada! 🇨🇦 💥 Extremely Interesting tutorial ! I think I’d be good at it. The trick is to lift areas that have accumulated too much water. - I Can’t wait to try this combination. (It has a very specific look.) I don’t know how to explain the “look” yet, but I really like it. ▫️ The dance of how much water, and it’s placement is key❗️ ▫️ THANKYOU very much. Great Tutorial ‼️

[@nenno3878]

Hey Martin. That ink you are using is for brush calligraphy, but Asians use it widely as a painting medium as well. Cave paintings were done the same way. (burnt charcoal and water) This technique calls for some preplanning for using the permanent and soluble ink in order to keep the certain lines clean.

[@MartinLachmairArt]

Thank you for your feedback! Mostly I only use waterproof ink, so in this example I wanted to show the result using only water soluble ink 👍🖋️

[@user-if8bb5eq7p]

I LOVED this video. All the muted colors are lovely. Thank you for sharing. I'm curious why you didn't add a little blue for the sky? I ask because you seem to be in control of the whole piece, and I value what you have to say about the sky color. Do you ever do anything with the sky? This is the first video I have watched. Thanks.

[@MartinLachmairArt]

Thank you a ton! 👍 Very good point! Where is the sky? Well maybe I am so obsessed about the architecture, the buildings and their mood, their stories behind all the windows,

[@MartinLachmairArt]

so I wanted to avoid any distractions! maybe that’s the reason, or I have to practice painting clouds a little bit more 😅👍🖋️

[@3974royal]

This is great. Is the whole sketch done in water soluble ink? Because some of the lines do not seem to bleed at all when you paint over them.

[@MartinLachmairArt]

Thank you very much! I only use waterproof ink made special for fountain pens like “sketch ink”

[@3974royal]

@MartinLachmairArt thanks, but what I am saying is that, on this picture, some lines bleed and some lines don't seem to bleed. So my question is, is the whole thing done in water soluble ink? Or are some lines in water soluble and others in waterproof?
