@@gee355Art Thank you! I’m in the U.S. and can’t find the NOVA markers so I ordered a set of neutral from the U.K. I’d also love to see you paint fish and other sea life with the markers.
Thank you!! I really enjoyed it, I've spent a bit of time digging out different shells this afternoon... 😄 AND I need to watch your Lobster video too!!
@@gee355Art you've made me dig out a set of cheap-ish watercolor markers that I've barely played with. I need to give them a proper test. Thanks so much for the inspiration.
Loved your technique and the colors used. I always look forward to your postings and feel inspired to tackle new subjects. I recently retired and picked up watercolor painting again after a 17 year break. Your lessons encouraged me to try the watercolor pens and I am enjoying them a lot. Thank you for sharing your talent.
I like both the sealife and the flower paintings. Am I mistaken about the Nova pens having 20 colours split in two sets of ten? At least that is what I could find.
You are not mistaken, they come in 10 'Bright' ones and 10 'Neutrals' (which is basically 7 browns and 3 greys, I think). I do like the brush tip a lot but I've yet to try them on different papers OR try the normal nib. I'll be interested to try them in my current strathmore sketchbook, as the Aquamarkers and W&N WCM both stain the paper a fair bit in it... ( which is why my Inktober sketches have been done with lovely soft Lamy fountain pen ink 😄)
@@gee355Art I have had days here during inktober where I felt like throwing everything but a pencil and a bottle of india ink out. But then the day after I am hungry for colour again. XD
gee massam Art I have really enjoyed your videos. I just bought some watercolor pens (w &N). That is how I found your channel. I learn from all your videos about how to blend. Also I like it when you work from life and not a photo. The photos are good too (that is how I work). However, I aspire to work from life outside (I can’t remember that word).
@@allonewordcaps thank you! I'm glad you have found the videos useful 🙂 I think you're right, painting from or drawing from life is so important - I'm guilty of not doing it enough!! When I'm making a video I do it in little stolen moments of time and the lighting will be different each time I return, that's my reason for using photos a lot of the time 😉
gee massam Art I prefer working form a photo for the steady light source. The main benefit for me is that the image is already flat. The perspective is set and I only have to follow along. So much easier.

Yay shells! Yay flowers!
Thanks 🙂 I'm glad you liked the shells, I was feeling like a change and we have so many lying around the house, it seemed a shame not to paint some!
Love it! Yes, please paint more shells and specifically oyster shells.
Hi, thanks for showing this video some love 🙂 I will see what I can do! 👍😄

I really love the colours! The tones are perfect 😊
☺ thank you so much!! I can't resist some warm brown sepia tones 😄
Gorgeous!

@@Sandrinesgallery that's great 😃 remember to try them on different papers, watercolour markers can be so fussy about what papers they work on 😆
@@gee355Art Thanks for the great tip.

No problem at all, and thanks for the encouraging feedback ☺ if theres ever anything you'd want to see painted or demonstrated, just let me know 🖒
Great tutorial as always Gee!
Thank you!! I love how the marker colours really boosted the original still life subject. Thanks for watching ☺
More please with this sir
Okay! ☺ I like a vote of confidence 🖒
LIKED BOTH SHELL DRAWINGS. WILL LIKE MOST ANY THING YOU'RE INTERESTED IN DRAWING. JUST LEARNING THE PROCESS OF PEN AND INK IS FASCINATING. THANKS.
Thank you! I'll see what I can find to do some more paintings from... 🤔☺

@@gee355Art good, then I will not look for more. Not that I need them really *eying the stacks of various watercolour pens on and beside my desk*.
@@xargothunter5746 I know! I remember a simpler time... 😄

Maybe succulents?
You know, I have a succulent on the to-do list... 🙂 just got a few things to clear first! 😉
