Learn about pens, Ink brush Pens, and Sketch my WWM Project With Me!

Hi friends! A lot is going on in today’s blog post. Are you ready to go down the rabbit hole with me? I was searching for the perfect brown pen recently and have found several options I like. There is no need to have as many as I have tried but they all offer advantages; some are waterproof, some can be refilled, some have varying widths and some are fixed. All are relatively affordable and work well. I have not tried all of the pens out there but I think I have used enough to make some recommendations depending on how you like to work. You may have some similar pens in your stash already and I hope this video encourages you to use them! We will go over the pens first in the video, then we will do a controlled wash on a few papers that I have been enjoying lately and then finally I will illustrate my artwork for today’s World Watercolor Month prompt “pull.”

This was streamed live and I stopped for questions a few times during the video, feel free to jump over the Q&A portions if all you want are the demos. I hope you enjoy the video!
