Wow! I hadn't idea that you can use watercolor with a dip pen! I do calligraphy and love dip pens and couldn't quite master thin enough lines in watercolor using a paintbrush. Thanks so much for sharing! I've never seen this before!
I tried this for the fist time last night and I was blown away how effective it was. Thank you so much for this video. I review so many instructors and I always come back to you. I LEARN from you. You and the late Grant Fuller...... Thank you so much for your VAST library. I have used your Amazon page to purchase and will be signing up for contributions... Thank you so much
I'm loving this technique, it's something that my Wife would go crazy over. So I better not let her see it or she'll be giving me orders to branch out in every room of the house. I used dip pens at school over 50 year's ago and never picked one up since, well today I have one with a range of nibs. This is how I dropped across your channel, thank you for the watercolour idea I'll definitely be giving it a go.
One of my favorite techniques that I have learned from you. The ability to draw fine lines without using a brush is an incredible addition to my arsenal of watercolor techniques!
Personal favorite…Where you got everyone hooked on flex nibs! And your intro to spontaneous painting! And for me now, The fountain pen rabbit hole! Lol! Thx Steve. You’re such a Blessing to so many people. Also, love any paintings to do with the Southern US! Like Hawks, and pine trees and Charleston! 👍❤️🙏🏻🖌 Messy Mendy from Ga.
Very inspiring! I painted on and off for years. But just worked to support my family. This video has reminded me of what I wanted to do. Create. Experiment and have fun painting.
So much great information in here for watercolorists experimenting with ink. I know I got a great deal out of it. Thanks for making it and including your materials so it's easy to research.
I am pleasantly surprised at how much of a difference it made just putting those light colored branches in among the dark ones. Beautiful! I think I'll try this.😊👍
Thanks, I use fountain pens, but I can see why using a dip pen can be fun.. I find it challenging to be random when sketching tree branches. It is very easy to make repetitive marks..
I like the idea. It is like having only one pan for any and every colour you will ever need. It also gives a look more similar to ink and wash style, which I love so much. Thanks.
very much enjoyed this as i have just been to a ‘using inks workshop ‘ day and had assembled my pen nibs.... now i have another project to have a go with - thanks Steve!
I did one of these myself. I had fun and realized it's not as difficult as painting from a photo, and enjoyed using the pen. This one will not go into the bin ( trash can). 👍
Steve, thank you so much for another great video. I wondered why my dip pen wasn't holding much liquid. I have "seasoned" it & now it works very well. I have learned so much from you over the years. I can never thank you enough for your videos, all the time you donate to educate watercolorists throughout the world. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Awesome. I love your spontaneous paintings. Also like the dip pen with watercolor technique. I would think it easier to draw the fine branches as you said. I find drawing tree branches very relaxing. They just go on and on. Will definitely try this. Thank you.
Also, winter trees are the most beautiful. You get to see the HEART of the tree, the personality, the bones. I love trees more than anything and winter trees with snow are the best. Again, thank you.
You probably won't see this comment, but just in case, I want to thank you for the inspiration and your hard work. I was inspired by this video and I tried the technique and it blew me away. I showed my painting to my creative group and they were very impressed. They even made photocopies of it! I am a total newbie at watercolor and these kinds of videos really help. I like tips and tricks that will make my journey into watercolour more interesting. So today, my third ever watercolour painting was a total hit and all thanks to you. I gave them all the name of your channel. Thanks again.
I thoroughly enjoyed this lesson but I am really writing to say that I am also a believer and I paint cards with a verse on the back and give them away,. When I saw that you include scripture at the end of each video I knew I was in the right place to learn how to paint more watercolor cards for others. God bless you and your wonderful art ministry.
What a joy to share with others in this way. I run art workshops for our congregation where we paint together as a form of reflection and worship. Next one will be themed around John 3.16 as we lead up to Easter. Bless you...S
Awesome idea and probably one that I never would have thought to use! I can think of several uses with a dpt pen now like power lines, fencing, window frames, and those fine details on lighthouses. Thanks Steve!
Awesome! 💙 Already hunted down my nibs and have my wash on paper. Thank you so very much! I love throwing something a bit different into the mix, especially when I'm having and uninspired creative period. And this fits my taste and interest perfectly.
Absolutely loved watching you paint this. I want to try this nib sketching with watercolor. I have been playing with the Fude fountain pen and love the thick’s and thins it produces. Thank you so much Steve. Be safe.
Love this! I just started using dip pens with ink this past October, so I am really looking forward to using them with my watercolours too! Never would have thought to combine the two. Thank you so much!
I can't wait to get out my dip pens and get to work, Steve! This looks like soooo much fun! Thanks! Yes, we love to see you mix your paints on the palette!
I just love this technic with that pen, I will get one very soon and try it. You always find new things to do on your paintings thank you and have a wonderful day sir.
Wow! I hadn't idea that you can use watercolor with a dip pen! I do calligraphy and love dip pens and couldn't quite master thin enough lines in watercolor using a paintbrush. Thanks so much for sharing! I've never seen this before!
Steve, PLEASE KEEP THIS CAMERA ANGLE! Being able to see your palette and mixing is awesome! Especially the magic that happens there.
I always learn so much when I see the palette, mixing, brush-loading, etc.!!
I agree with Josh and Mary - This is a great view to facilitate learning!
Won't always but I will on occasion. It requires two cameras and greatly increases editing time which is not always available.

I love it! I used to write a bit with this type of pen in my primary school, but not a lot, and I miss it!

que gran idea, plumilla y acuarela. Great idea. Congratulations, great sensitivity and sense of depth
Breathtaking!
Wow that works great for flower or leaf veins, will try over damp watercolor. Thank you.

Always a great pleasure to watch your videos, Steve 😊
You read my mind!!! I was thinking about buying new nibs for my dip pen but wasn't sure which ones to buy so I didn't. Thanks for the Video!
What a great technique, thank you.
I have not used a nib since art school! I’ll have to try that again.
Love your videos....your art....and you have beautiful hands!!!
I loved watching you fill the nib with watercolor. I've never thought of this! Fantastic! Thank you!
very much enjoyed this as i have just been to a ‘using inks workshop ‘ day and had assembled my pen nibs.... now i have another project to have a go with - thanks Steve!
wow, it looks as if you were having so much fun with that!
Can we say, WOW!? Awesome technique! I never thought to use a nib for watercolor paint. Fantastic!
I love writing with fountain pens and dip pens. Now I will try "painting" with them. Very cool, thank you.
Beautiful! Absolutely delightful!!
I did one of these myself. I had fun and realized it's not as difficult as painting from a photo, and enjoyed using the pen. This one will not go into the bin ( trash can). 👍
Love this technique! I used to dislike winter with its bare trees but have come to live the lacy essence. You do it so well.
These pieces are so absolutely beautiful
thank you, really
Steve, thank you so much for another great video. I wondered why my dip pen wasn't holding much liquid. I have "seasoned" it & now it works very well. I have learned so much from you over the years.

You’re psychic! Was just putting off drawing some bare trees for fear of not achieving the wanted detail. Back to my drawing board ~ thank you!🙋🏼♀️
Stunning! You never seem to amaze me Steve. Thank you not only for the additional knowledge but the enthusiasm and inspiration.

Great vlog. Never realized you can use a nib and watercolor to paint and create nice textures.
Totally love this.
Excellent idea Steve. Coincidentally, I just bought a really nice watercolour sketch book.
Now I know what I''m doing this weekend.
Thanks.
I really like this technique! Seems like a great option for fine detail. Never would've thought about it. Thanks for the video, and the verse!😊

Really interesting technique - thanks for posting this.
