your art work is absolutely beautiful!
+Jovanna Jade Estrada Thank you :-)
Good job on your video. Thank you
my dream was always be like an artist like you
+dibujo con luis Don't dream, start.
Teoh Yi Chie starting with your videos😊
Ooh this was 3 years ago! I started art around the same time! Hope you are doing well on your art journey as well!
Omgggg the sceneries are so goooodd TAT
Great video! I liked how your kit includes the hat and the stool. The compact brushes were also a great idea. Thanks for sharing!
+lbettymitchell THanks :-)
The urban landscapes you painted in your sketchbook are beautiful. I love your style of painting.
I love watching videos like this. Man in my day things were so different. I like how young people today want lighter and lighter. I can't wait to see them talk about this when they are 60,70,80. When they have an artifical hip, knee, torn rotator cuff, arthritis, bursitis, then let's hear how light they can go lol.
I should clarify. I love the idea. We didn't have an umbrella term urban sketching and we either carried a pen and drew on napkins or we carried a butt load of crap. This is great
You always have such well-organized, informative, and fun-to-watch videos! Thanks again!
+OneTrueWord1988 Thanks 😋
i really love how you have great advice, but also it's very practical. like you even mention how you can use the short stool to your advantage. great videos for everyone but especially a beginner like me!
+Rawan Thanks 😁
Perfect video to get me motivated for some Spring outdoor painting.
Looks amazingly like my WC gear. Royal Talens Rembrandt box, Da Vinci brush .... but I love your sketchbook. I also love the Rembrandt flat WC brushes. Great video.
Thank you and well done! I very much appreciate your minimalist kit design as well as the description text listing out the tools. I'm often in the outdoors and wilderness for days and weeks at a time and though I love to sketch, draw and paint weight carried is a concern as well as room in the backpack - thus I'm usually having to restrict myself to a sketchbook, and a few pens & pencils. Oddly enough I was unaware until recently the compact carrier/pallet sets and travel brushes. I'll be ordering a compact set & brush for my next planned outing. Thanks again!
+Old Man Thanks. 😁
Thank you for your wonderful videos. I came to this one after your amazingly comprehensive review of sketchbooks. I'd like to start doing more urban sketching and plein air artwork this video was particularly helpful. Thanks again.
Thanks ~(˘▾˘~)
Your urban paintings are soo good!
Yep its all you need great set up.
great video. love how organized you are
Thanks :-)
Thanks Teoh. I liked your essential stuff.
+Don't Be Sad Thanks!
Thank you for helping me find the most amazing artbook! Dude your also amazing with your art
Thanks :-)
Just want to say I, too, appreciate your wonderful, informative videos. Thank you!
+Nancy Werner Thanks 😀
I love this concept
Hey there! :) Just wanted to thank you for your super informative videos. I've been learning more about watercolor and plein air sketching lately, and your videos keep coming up as the most helpful. :) Cheers!
+L. Nance Thanks 😁
Beautiful work!
+Gina Phelps Thanks!
This is so good. Keep on doing it! 💜💜💜
Thank you ( ͡ᵔ ͜ʖ ͡ᵔ )
Thank you so much...and the hat is amazing!!!😂😂😂
Hi Teoh! Love your videos bro!! keep it up ^^
Can you talk about maintenance and cleaning involved with regards to your waterbrush, fountain pens, etc. Possibly in future videos?
I love all your videos!
+E. Katzenstein Thanks. 😀
Great video very helpful,, well presented, !! greetings from Amsterdam Holland !!
I love your videos! Thank you!
Thank you!..for that..Very useful information for me!
Thanks for Your tips sharing, ít genious. I also like your organize way.
Thank you for the amazing videos!
Thanks ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
When I travel, I bring along my Travelling Inkwell by Visconti for my fountain pen. The inkwell holds about 5.5 ml of ink. I also use the Pelikan M200 fountain pen. Love your artwork and your review of products are very informative and helpful.
+Martina Best Thanks 😁
Thank you Teoh very helpful
You are a cool guy... Thanks!
I like it alot
This video was great! :)
+Peggy Yang Thanks 😀
I hope you reach 100k!
I was curious about a video you may have created being able to sketch or painting with waterproof paper??
Also your video of tge Darcy field bag was much appreciated I love using mine outside. On a thrift shop I found a waist bag 🎒 that is tge size of an A5. With additional slot pockets. It matched tge Darcy so I sewed on the back pocket. Since it had a gusset the sketchbook or a tin of 12 color pencils fit nicely and stays closed with a velcro flap
I live in Alaska and I'm so lucky to have endless landscapes. But we don't have beautiful architecture ... which is what I want to paint.
Hi Teoh. I am a novice painter and and would just like to know if using one bottle for washing brushes is enough for you. Water tends to get dirty very quickly, does it affect your painting?
I use one bottle too. With one bottle, you have to plan in advance the colours to use to avoid having to wash the brush too many times.
Ah I see. Will give it a go when I get the chance. Thanks!
Phyllicia Robert i
I learned that the water must be kept clean. You first dip the tip of the brush in the bottle and then use the towel to really clean it. Only after that you completely submerge the whole brush.
In my experience I don't use two bottles.
Hi Theo the colors pencils it is for watercolor...thank you
Who needs Netflix when we have you!

I find it very interesting that you use fountain pens as your drawing pens. I actually started with fountain pens for regular note taking and am now trying to pick up watercolor painting as a hobby. Can you explain your choice for using fountain pens to sketch?
+HonestAbe58 I've a video explaining that ruclips.net/video/dIHbu9jjiHc/видео.html
Hi Teoh! I like your videos and I learnt a lot from those, thank you very much! I have a question here, does sharpie pens or markers lightfast?
Hi Fiona, I just would like to say your gorgeous.
Loved this video. No one else mentioned the stool or hat. May I ask what the palette brand us? And wow, your watercolors are amazing!
+Dee Dee I use an empty watercolour box that's filled with Daniel Smith watercolours.
u are awesome÷
+lura garcia Thanks!
Your instructional videos are simple yet very informative. Being deaf, close captions are essential as you can imagine not always reliable either. Noodler's "bloodproof ink" I assume means floodproof ink? Noodler's has a thing for unusual names so I thought to ask. Can you please recommend some waterproof inks for sketching before watercolors? If only I could solve the leak issues for all my Noodler's pens. They work wonderful otherwise.
I too have the same square palette and love it. I'd love to know the colors you use.
+wanowi w Bulletproof is just their way of referring to waterproof ink. For your leak problem, maybe you should search fountain pen forums.
I love your kit! Where did you get your pen wrap? Nice!
+Jannet Walsh I bought it on Amazon Japan. You can try eBay or other Amazon branches also.
Could you tell what kind of hat that is and where you got it… This is a great video thank you
I'm now using a hat from Outdoor Research which can hold its shape better against wind and rain. It's more expensive but is very durable. Do compare prices before you buy. www.amazon.com/Outdoor-Research-Seattle-Sombrero-Medium/dp/B000TMIIB2
that is enough
Thank you!, you helped me alot!! 🤗 I have a question when did you start painting watercolor??
Maybe in 2008-09
what is the brand of the colour pencils mentioned in the video?
What do you do when your small container of water gets muddy, do you continue to use it or do you bring a water bottle from home to replace the dirty water? I use water brushes when I travel but I love the results I achieve with my black velvet brushes that I've considered having a set up like yours with a small container of water, thanks for your advice☺️ your videos are great!!
+nancy marques I used to use a single container for washing brushes. That will make the water muddy. I bring water bottle to get clean water. Ideally, it is best to have two water container. One to clean dirty brush, they other to get clean water.
Teoh Yi Chie thanks Teoh ! I started thinking that a small travel thermos could work well - pour some clean water into the cap for painting and use the larger container for cleaning brushes 🤗
What fountain pen & ink do you use?
My guess would be a #6 Da Vinci Travel brush ( if you had to pick just one ) would be your go to brush on limited funds?
+Bob McGrath Yes, that is a good brush
It looks like the Escoda Reserva is sable while the Escoda Versatil is synthetic for watercolor. Which brush and size do you use?
+hovawart16 As I usually sketch in A5-size sketchbooks, I use the size 6 watercolour brush. My main brush is the Da Vinci Maestro pocket brush. Escoda Reserva is similar to Da Vinci, just that the body for Escoda is longer.

+Teoh Yi Chie Thanks again!
Very nice. I've been very cheap with my sketchbooks - I use ones that aren't fit for watercolour. I'm rethinking that after discovering that my Moleskin Agenda does a much better job. Do you use gum arabic when you paint?
I don't use gum arabic. That's the binding inside watercolour.
Nice! Now will you take us with you somewhere to draw and paint?
You can check out the Urban Sketching videos at ruclips.net/p/PLucoL_7WoAgBy5QVG51DaTEaGgzDqz82A
Teoh Yi Chie Oh thanks!
You ever think of using an altitude tin for a watercolors box?
That tin is too small
Great videos. Thank you. I couldn't catch the name pf the waterproof ink you use in the fountain pens. Can you pass on the name. Thanks. Great drawings.
I was wondering the same thing - played it over and still could not get it.
Noodler's ink.
gouletpens.com
Noodler's Bulletproof Black. It's the only Noodler's black that says it's waterproof and is actually 100% waterproof. The others have some bleeding when wet, no matter how long you leave them to dry.
Thank you.
Thanks for this outdoor watercolor sketching kit video, but your two fountain pens are quite expensive. Can you recommend a decent inexpensive pen for a beginner? What was the name of the ink you use to refill your pens? Thanks!
Paula in Florida
You can check out the pens in this video ruclips.net/video/HpUmgOwlJfk/видео.html
I use Noodler's Bulletproof Black Ink. It's waterproof when dry.
2:10...is that a Noodler's ink bottle? I like the idea of a strong glass vs plastic bottle for water storage...because the plastic would tip over if a strong gust of wind should happen. Plus, with glass you can see when it's time for a change of water. So, is that specifically an old Noodler's ink bottle or what brand is it? :) thanks.
+Sylvia Catalano Yes, it's a Noodler's ink bottle. I like that it's heavy too. Just be careful not to drop it against hard ground since it's glass.
I am a chilean in israel, starting sketching and i cannot find any of those art supplies here. Thank you for showing us your talent. If you want to get rid of some of your stuff, i would love to know :) Much love.
Juan Pablo Ruiz I'm sure you don't need to get the exact stuff. Just get stuff simpler if you want stuff like him. Try online sites too.
I made my own watercolor/ink, take flowers an let tem in hot water for one night and tada!
I always wonder where people put all their stuff when they do watercolor sketching outside. Do they look for a table or something like that? When I go outside to draw, I only have a sketchbook and a fineliner so I can draw pretty much anywhere I want and it doesn't matter if I stand or sit.
Check out this video to see where we put our stuff
ruclips.net/video/i3ihX3R-8H0/видео.html
Thanks, that's exactly the example I was looking for!
this is very interesting, I like seeing how other artists organize their stuff. the portable stool is smart!
Noodlers bottle?
Thanks for sharing! Can you please repeat the names of the ink you used with your fountain pens?
Noodlers Bulletproof Black ink
Why the clips tho? Will wind damage the watercolor?
It's to clip and hold down the pages so they don't fly around. If a wet page hits the other page, it would be bad.
i use clips to hold down my watercolor paper, so it would seem like it’s tightly binded to the other pages. i’m a beginner so i use not so good yet not so bad watercolor paper, and when the paper is too wet, it tends to puff up, having an uneven surface. watercolor would then become very tricky because they tend to spread to places i don’t want to be colored. that’s why many people use clips or washi tape to their watercolor papers!
hello please can you write down for me what fountain pens to buy thank you so much.
+creativemoi1983 If you're new, you should start with cheaper fountain pens first. The ones I recommend would be
1. Lamy Safari (not for left handed, ink convertor not included)
www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=lamy+safari&tag=ttmus-20
2. TWSBI 580 (if you have more budget)
www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=twsbi+580&tag=ttmus-20
3. Pelikan M200 with Fine nib (if you have even more budget)
www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=pelikan+200&tag=ttmus-20
Teoh, has this list of essentials changed as of 2021?
Yes. I'm packing even lighter now. www.parkablogs.com/content/my-urban-sketching-setup-2020
Hey Teoh, may I ask what kind of ink you use for your Kuretake brush pen? I also have one (No. 8) but the ink that came with it isn`t waterproof.
+firecloud I use Platinum Carbon Ink. www.parkablogs.com/content/review-platinum-carbon-ink
+Teoh Yi Chie Thank you :)
What do you use to hold your palette and sketch book? I'm assuming you hold one, but not both.
The palette is almost always on the ground. I hold the sketchbook and brush
Exactly how big is the ink bottle that you use for the water?
That's 90ml
Hi, can you please let me know what brand is the roll up pencil case?
The leather one? That's the Pilot Pensemble. Quality is good but I won't recommend buying that because the colour of the leather will fade. See if you can find the Delfonics Roll Pen Case. www.parkablogs.com/content/review-delfonics-roll-pen-case
@@teohyc Thank you so much. I just saw your reply. I really appreciate it. I will look for the delfonics pen pouch. Thank you very much.
Can i use fineliner micro pen for urban sketching?
You can. Felt tip pens will wear off faster on watercolour paper
@@teohyc thanq sir
Where did you buy the empty watercolor box? I can only find it with watercolor already in it.
+RevoTUBE You can find them on Amazon USA www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=empty+watercolor+box
where do you have the leather pencil roll from
i realy like that one u have :D
It's called a Pilot Pensemble. It comes in different colours.

thx
Is there any way you can list out your pens and places where we might be able to purchase them? Thank you!
+RocknRoll13ZH You can check out this page below for all the pens I've reviewed. There are links to where you can buy them from the individual reviews. Currently, my favourite pen is the Pelikan M200.

Thanks Jerry! Love your work on Parka Blogs! so glad I stumbled upon it!
Hello there! I know this video is kinda old, but by any chance, do you remember the size of that travel brush?
Thanks in advance. 😊
Generally speaking, size 6 is good for A5-sized sketchbooks.
@@teohyc Thanks Teoh! 🥰
So, where do you get your sketchbook?
+Blue Plague I usually buy them on Amazon.
Hi, I was wondering if you are self taught? if so or not how long you been painting? I just started not long ago and I feel I have learned a lot from watching your videos as well. Keep em coming!!!
+Marissa A H I would say I become more serious in 2008. The more you draw, the better you get.
how fast does the paper dry?
It dries at the usual speed of watercolor paper.
Sorry. What pen pouch are you using?
www.parkablogs.com/content/review-pilot-pensemble-roll-pen-case
Nice video! But just wondering, did you travel to Vietnam ? XD If yes, it's beautiful, huh? Especially Ha Long Bay, I really want to see that Bay T^T. Are you Chinese btw? Sorry if I'm too curious :'3.
+Giao Nguyen Hi, I went to Hanoi last year. Here are my sketches www.parkablogs.com/picture/all-sketches-my-hanoi-vietnam-trip-mar-2015
What sketchbook is this?
Global Art Materials www.parkablogs.com/picture/review-watercolor-sketchbook-200gsm-global-art-materials
Excellent content,I think if you make it more presentable a bit it will draw more audience.Having said that i can't make match half of your presentation skill.
Why are you so cool tell me!! :)
lol. I don't really think about cool or not cool. ヾ(⌐■_■)ノ♪
where did you bought your bag and the pencil case?
+Blue Ruby You mean the black pencil case? That's a Pilot Pensemble pen wrap for fountain pens.
+Teoh Yi Chie Thank you ☺️ and where did you bought your bag :)
+Teoh Yi Chie the one you show at the 5th minute
+Blue Ruby Oh, that bag is Herringbone camera bag. I bought it at a camera store. I see it sold online too, Amazon, eBay. Here's my review ruclips.net/video/_lznMqKmbxA/видео.html
thank you so much :)
Hi Teoh :)
I really love your art work and I love the way you show us everything around it, Thank you so much.
Let me make two short questions:
1. The exact Uni-ball pen "model" or reference; I wasn't able to find it on amazon; I found some other similar to this but not that one you're using. EDITED: is this one ? Uni-ball Vision Needle Rollerball Pen - Fine Point 2. same thing about the white permanent gel pen
Thanks in advance Teoh.
Oh, and where did you get your collapsible stool?
You can find it on eBay. I bought mine for less than USD$20 including shipping.
Wow, that's really worth the investment. I just found the link to your review in the info bar. Thanks for the in dept review of all the stools. I havr my eye on the black one with stitchings across the seat. ☺
Are you Vietnamese?
Singaporean
you are so cute~I like U~
+ISLA CHIU Thank you. Haha 😊
I'm getting a lot of ASMR vibes from his voice...
