I like colored tranfers, easier to correct, and they don't bleed. Transferring images some use: graphite, others colored paper, I won't say what we have found to work best b/c that's us, everyone is different: graphite is harder to erase from paper, and you only have to lightly trace over with a ball point pen, but once it's down, it's down. I just recently started learning to use Water Color. Um.and I have been using Oil Colors and doing landscape paintings since I was 8 years old. And Bob Roberts, "it's not painting if it's not outlined with a brush", he told Richard when he was using a marker to use for some fine outlining stuff. Richard and Clay Decker are who I have to thank for what I know so far. Cant tell much of a difference between that and the big loose sheets. The Arches blocks are what I use about 90% of the time and I've been pretty happy with them.
Alot of guys will tell you it doesnt matter but I can tell the difference. Plus they are lightfast where PH Martins are not.Īs far as Brushes go I've used tons and settled on Sable being maybe favorite. It's a bit more opaque, Doesnt blend as easy as watercolor and once it dries its no longer workable but the subtle colors are what I've been trying to achieve for years its a way more "traditional" look I guess. However I recently started using FW Acrylics and I'm Much happier with the look. That being said if you dont mind super vibrant color PH Martins are incredibly easy to work with and settle very evenly. I'll start with the outline and black shading, be perfectly happy until I lay that first color and it shines like a rainbow.
The problems is I mostly like to paint Japanese imagery and the PH Martins are way too vibrant. I've been using PH martins for the majority of my paintings. If you wanna read a lot about different watercolor brands, this is rad:Īnyone have material/technique stuff to share? Paining wise, as it relates to tattoos, I really love Hokusai, Kyosai, Ed, Roper, Ichibay, Lehi, Nick Rodin There's a lady in england I found out about who's supposed to make amazing brushes that are reasonable, haven't tried her out yet. I just scored a big sheet of 400lb, haven't used it yet.Īnyway, I like Speedballs, Chinese/Japanese lining brushes (MenSou), Daniel Smith watercolors, some Holbien, squirrel hair brushes for watering, series 7 brushes, although DaVinci's are nice too. I remember Bob talking about how even in the rolls it's never as good as the individual sheets. Thought I'd start a thread about things people use & know about Watercolor (& Gouache, Ink, FW etc)Īfter painting several things on actual loose Arches paper, I'm doing a big piece on one of their blocks and I think it SUCKS!! The quality of the paper just doesn't seem as good, everything is just sticking so hard, have to pre-wet everything til it practically seeps through the lines.
