Description: In this video I use a tape mask to preserve white areas. I also draw out color in the background to create an interesting effect. *** Now selling my paintings on Ebay *** Link: ebay.ca/sch/sheelerart/m.html?_ PEN: A Century Fountain Pen with Ultra Extra Fine Nib. INK: Platinum Carbon Black Ink. It is a pigmaent ink suitable for Fountain pens. PAPER: Size- 5"x7" Fabriano 140lb Hot Press Paper for this Video. My papers of choice include Arches 140lb Hot press and Cold press paper and Strathmore 500 series Sketchbooks. All are 100% cotton rag. For beginners, I recommend starting with a high quality paper and experimenting with different types. As your style develops, you'll get a feel for which type is best. Waiting to switch to a better quality paper later will be much like learning to paint all over again. MY PALETTE: All tube paints! Winsor Newton- Yellow Ochre, Sepia, Burnt Sienna, Winsor Red, Davy's Gray, Ultramarine, Sap Green. DaVinci - Phthalo Blue, Quinachridone Fuchsia, Cadmium Yellow Lemon, Cadmium Yellow Deep. **I plan to replace the Fuchsia with Winsor Newton Quinacridone Magenta when mine runs out.** A note on Davy's Gray: I rarely use this pigment straight and when using it I usually mix it with each colour used. MIXING PALETTE: The palette is the mixing tray from a "Koi" Watercolour travel set. The colours are set up so the ones I mix together most often are close together. BRUSH: A Sakura medium size waterbrush. This brush has a reservoir in the handle. With a squeeze you can apply water to activate paints or clean the brush. Takes some practice to control the flow. BRUSH: A Polar Flo 1 inch flat brush. The bristle were originally white but have become stained. Music: "From the usual place", "To a sad silhouette" and "At sunset". by Antonio Romo. antonioromo.com See him on Youtube :youtube.com/antonioromopiano
