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.

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

For me… the white highlights are perfect. I really love your wonderful Artwork. Can‘t get enough watching this. Thank you for sharing with us.

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.” 😂

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

😅👍 perfect that you spotted it!! Thanks for that feedback!

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.

That’s freakin’ AWESOME!!!! Stunning ! Thank you for this ! Following from southern oregon !

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!

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.

very nice, what a great idea. thank you , I will use it it.

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.

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.

KZread 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. 🙏🏻

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.

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 ‼️
