your one of those artists who are so skilled that you make things look way more easier then they really are, your control over just water on a piece of paper is almost super natural
Hi Mary, I work in India Ink and airbrush and I am fascinated by the wonderful ink techniques you shared. You are an amazing artist and I subscribed to your channel!
I'd been looking the video on how to do this and had given up. I went and watched something else, and BAM. There it was, on the top left of the recommendations grid at the end of the video. Thank you.
Very timely. I have a big bottle of india ink on my drawing table, and about high time I started playing around with it. And this is a very interesting technique you are showing! Oh yeah, and I love your sound effects, wheee, psch, boom! 😄
Yay!!!! :D Doodle lady! One of my inspirations when I got sick and died in tha hospital to never give up doodling!!! Thank you so much. :) So glad to see you're still drawing and sharing.
Wow that was amazing !!!! I'm actually working with ink now and doing a course on it, I'm like half way through and one of the modules is a 'ink wash' I haven't got there yet. I already have been practicing ink washes but I will have to be playing nice like this seeing as I have a bottle of ink 😁 thanks again
Loving your videos! I started working with ink more last year, but your videos really encouraged me to branch out and start using dip pens. Can't wait to try using water!
Beautiful and very useful. I am a total beginner. Could you share the type and brands of ink and brushes you're using? Also do you have a video on large geometric Indian ink layered strokes with a translucent effect? Thanks so much for your help.
It's a matter of painting with the water. The edges may not be perfect at first. once the ink fans out and begins to settle I will go in and define the edges.
How long does it take for your pieces to dry? I am thinking of trying this with a fountain pen drawing (water proof ink) and then using your ink method with colored inks as a wash.
LOVED that!!! Ok, so, I love the whole ooooh look at how the ink moves & flows & reacts etc .. like I really love it👏, BUT ... if you wanted to KEEP some of those effects?? Cause it seems to me that in the end it all just blends & settles, with the fabulous "blooming" effects now gone. Could blotting at the time of the effect keep it? Obviously I can try that, & have done with a LITTLE success. 💥But any tips you have on capturing those effects would be SO greatly appreciated? Please? 😬😇 Thankyou .. I loved your black cats quickie doodle at the end .. great way to go about it. 👍 liked & sub'd FYI.
Probably a silly question but thought I would ask it… from my experience working with watercolor, I know how to prep my paper to reduce buckling but since I’ve been trying the same approach to prep my sheets, first on 90# then tried some 120# but, so far I haven’t been able to reduce the buckling when doing heavier ink bleed … Would you have any advice to reduce the buckling? …. Especially when doing very wet bleeds…thanks.
How are you prepping your paper? Are you stretching it? Honestly, I don't do much to reduce buckling other than tone down the amount of water that I use. Buckling is something that I don't mind working with. However, you can try taping down your drawing, or resting between layers and flattening the page once it's dry.
Yay! It's Mary!! Thanks for the ink tips. I am really having an incredibly difficult time defining shapes and values using just black ink. I can do this with 'drawings' (crosshatching, shading, etc) but with INK it's so hard! Do you have any pointers for that?
Feathering is another form similar to cross hatching. If you do something like the bleeding technique in this video I recommend only setting the ink down closer to the side you want the darkest and using a dry brush to "lift" the ink where you want it lighter. 3:22
How quickly do you get through one of your 1L bottles of India ink? I've found sometimes I end up throwing whole bottles away if I've opened them but not used them all (for about 3+ months). They smell soooo bad when they're off. Like the strongest rotten egg smell. I can't even force my pupils to use them... 😂
yes, you can! The ink WILL dominate the watercolor, however. I would recommend mixing in it's own well, or area of your palette, and adding the ink slowly to the watercolor. Or letting it mix on the page.
Yes, I do! Especially with heavy washes of ink. When it is fully dry I'll lay books on the paper to flatten it. But while drawing if it buckles I ignore it because I am a lazy lazy person.
Absolutely! Actually, I was introduced to these materials when I took a comic creation workshop. It's an old school method, but if you like working with traditional materials you can get some great effects.
The queen is here! Welcome back, your inkjesty
THANKS!
I love to just spritz my paper then run the ink thru . Just love the effects. Never know what you will get💕. Thank you

Queen MaryDoodles is back! I missed your calm art videos ❤
Great idea. Love your fun vibrant but down to earth personality.
It's nice to have water and brushes pestering the paper and then producing a piece of work.
I've always been in love with your ink bleed videography. It's so magic to witness! Thank you for showing us your technique!
Hi Mary, I work in India Ink and airbrush and I am fascinated by the wonderful ink techniques you shared. You are an amazing artist and I subscribed to your channel!

Oh yeah, and I love your sound effects, wheee, psch, boom! 😄
I like the videos Chris Saenz does when she shows the Nick Stewart method of landscapes with fountain pen inks.
Im so glad i found your channel! Thank you for taking the time to teach us!
Yay!!!! :D Doodle lady! One of my inspirations when I got sick and died in tha hospital to never give up doodling!!! Thank you so much. :) So glad to see you're still drawing and sharing.
Welcome back to the living!

You had me at, just the tip reawwwww. 🦆
Sorry, sorry, couldn't resist, great work. 🌱🍀🌳🤘🏻
OMG! Lightbulb moment. Darn, looks like I have to go ink shopping now. I’d like to see unusual papers and substrates for ink ! Thanks. 👍
Wow that was amazing !!!! I'm actually working with ink now and doing a course on it, I'm like half way through and one of the modules is a 'ink wash' I haven't got there yet. I already have been practicing ink washes but I will have to be playing nice like this seeing as I have a bottle of ink 😁 thanks again
Thank you for the focused look at this technique. Now I know how today’s art I time will be spent!
Enjoy!
Ahhhh missed you and your videos! Welcome back❤❤❤
Thanks. Such a fun tutorial.
Thank you for explaining. I was really curious how to do it
Amazing tutorial. Thank you!
I missed this series 💜
I recently got asked where I learned to paint and ink. Told them from this channel 😁!
First visit here, LOVE your artworks! I like ink painting too! 💗
Thanks
Loving your videos! I started working with ink more last year, but your videos really encouraged me to branch out and start using dip pens. Can't wait to try using water!
Hi Mary! You are really talented and your art is inspiring 😊😁 thank you for the tutorials!
Thank you! 1st time on. Subscribed & will check this out further. Thanks again, looks like a lot of fun. (Great personality too)
I just love watching you make the art! Thank you for the video :)

Thanks for being here!
I've been waiting for this video for a million years
That was AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi all the way from a happy Scotsman living in Sunny Australia 🇦🇺 💕
Hello! Hope you're not lost!
Ahh I miss how to art
I am not an artist at all, and this video is like someone showing me how they do magic.
Awesome tips and tricks. I love painting with ink but haven't tried this loose style yet. :)
Do it!!! It's super fun :D
I've seriously been missing your videos.
Wow this is amazing. Thanks for the tips. I will try to apply these skills to my pieces
Thanks this was super helpful thanks
I love your channel!
Heck yeah, thanks for the How to Art video, using my favorite medium.
This was worth the wait
Yessss! Omg I missed your videos! 😊
Great vid, ty! Many Blessings
Awesome, thank you very very much for sharing and your great videos, you are the best. Thank you Mary
You're the Keanu Reeves of art, Mary.
That is too high of a compliment.
OMG YES!!!
Wow it looks like a black dragon egg. I love india inkt. But i am New to it so i try to watch you,re video's everyday and night
You just opened a new can of worms for me. Thank you! 😊
Can u show how to get that stain edge im doing water in a pitcher
hmmm I'm not quite sure what you are referring to. Do you mean the effect of a stained edge of the subject in your painting?
thanks
Thank you, that’s cool. I would have liked to see them dried.
Beautiful and very useful. I am a total beginner. Could you share the type and brands of ink and brushes you're using? Also do you have a video on large geometric Indian ink layered strokes with a translucent effect? Thanks so much for your help.
This was so wonderful...thanks for sharing!!!!
Yay! This is happy in my timeline, thanks.
Thanks for this. I have a pot of ink from an art challenge that I need to use up
Do you use distilled water or just tap water? Sorry very, very new to ink...
Nice tutorial! Keep up the videos!
Thanks!
how do you paint the water precisely so it depicts a sharp object like a wolf or a tiger for instance
It's a matter of painting with the water. The edges may not be perfect at first. once the ink fans out and begins to settle I will go in and define the edges.
Beautiful! :)
Love I ,thank you
So lovely to see you again! There was some big Bob Ross vibes from this tutorial, love it!
How long does it take for your pieces to dry? I am thinking of trying this with a fountain pen drawing (water proof ink) and then using your ink method with colored inks as a wash.
woah
cool
I want to go to the craft store right now!
When will they deliver art supplies like they're pizzas?

I love your curtains ☠️ where did you get them??
Urban Outfitters, my friend
Can we do this with the blue ink that we use in fountain pens? Loved your video!!
I don't see why not. It doesn't hurt to test out how pens react when you draw on a wet page.
Yay! It's Mary!! Thanks for the ink tips. I am really having an incredibly difficult time defining shapes and values using just black ink. I can do this with 'drawings' (crosshatching, shading, etc) but with INK it's so hard! Do you have any pointers for that?

@@marydoodles Ooo, thank you!
Do you dilute the ink a bit with water in your paint jar?
Sometimes I do. Usually I don't do grey washes, but this technique is great for getting lighter mid tones.
what if i want to make a grey tone?
Do you think you can use this technique on canvas
It might be a little difficult on canvas. I've never tried it before...
Well your fun and fabulous. Thank for the toot. =o)
Any time! TOOOOOT

can you mix drawing ink and watercolor?
yes, you can! The ink WILL dominate the watercolor, however. I would recommend mixing in it's own well, or area of your palette, and adding the ink slowly to the watercolor. Or letting it mix on the page.
Do you ever have issues with Bristol buckling?
Yes, I do! Especially with heavy washes of ink. When it is fully dry I'll lay books on the paper to flatten it. But while drawing if it buckles I ignore it because I am a lazy lazy person.
@@marydoodles Ah, I see. Does the buckling go away after that?
Can I use sumi ink to do comic?
Absolutely! Actually, I was introduced to these materials when I took a comic creation workshop. It's an old school method, but if you like working with traditional materials you can get some great effects.
i love being a doodlebug :)
