  • A dip pen can hold much more than just ink. I'll use watercolor in this case and its a great technique for fine linear details like tree branches. Let's take a look at how.

    Steve, PLEASE KEEP THIS CAMERA ANGLE! Being able to see your palette and mixing is awesome! Especially the magic that happens there.

      Won't always but I will on occasion. It requires two cameras and greatly increases editing time which is not always available.

    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 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.

    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.
