Yes please for the airbrushing techniques and how you do the block paper and removing it later without stretching it. Thank you😊 And I LOVE your projects in INKTENSE please keep them coming!!
Hi there Carmen, firstly thank you so very much for watching my video and for taking the time to leave such a lovely comment, truly appreciated. I've added 'airbrushing techniques' and 'using paper blocks' to my 'to do' list, thank you. Stay safe and stay creative xXx
Fantastic video 📹👏, keep them coming 🎨🦎
Hi there Gary thank you for watching my video and for taking the time to leave such an encouraging comment - truly appreciated xXx
Astounding! Great rendition and what a joy must be painting/drawing with those Inktense pencils, gotta give them a try!
Awe thank you Alex. Inktense is a wonderful medium to work with, I thoroughly recommend giving them a try. The pencils and blocks are available open stock, so maybe pick up a couple of colours of each and have a play lol xXx
@@kerrynewell-wildlifeartist I will, thanks for the great content!
Excellent. Worth the wait 🥰
Hi there Pat I hope you're keeping well. Thank you so very much for the feedback 😊 Your encouraging comment is truly appreciated xXx
Just fabulous!! I'm blown away!
Awe thank you so very much, your comment is truly appreciated indeed xXx
Thanks again for sharing your incredible talent and experience. I'd love to see more of your work in digital and traditional (acrylic, oil, or pencil) mediums, too. I've edited this to add that I'd be interested in seeing your use of the airbrush, too! If you offer full-length (real time?) videos of any of your other techniques on DVD or download, I would be pleased to purchase them, as I'm "across the pond," and not able to attend your workshops in person. :)
Hi there Greg thank you for watching my video and for taking the time to leave such an encouraging comment! Wow truly appreciated.
One of the art materials manufacturers that have contacted me have so with the intention of me sampling and reviewing their acrylic paints - so that will be one of your mediums ticked. The others I will get round to 😉 In regard to teaching - I don't offer any dvds or downloads at present, but my plan for this year is to build my RUclips channel and then launch a Patreon channel at the end of 2021 (hopefully just in time for Christmas). So for as little as $4 a month members will be able to access full length real time tutorials etc. xXx
Thank you for doing this, i Think it very helpfull. And i May find my inktense , and begin using Them.🇩🇰
Awe thank you ☺️ your comment is truly appreciated. I hope you enjoy using your Inktense now xXx
Stunning work ! the colours are amazing. Thank you for sharing .
@@deejay2838 awe thank you ☺️ your comment is truly appreciated xXx
@@kerrynewell-wildlifeartist yw, well deserved
WOW ….. he is superb. 🤩🤩 I’m binge watching your videos ……. when I’m done, I’m going to do swatches of my tin of 72 and find an image to recreate. Your videos are fabulous. THANK YOU ❤❤
Awe thank you Judith! Your comments and support are truly appreciated xXx
If you could share any abstract or painterly work that you do (or less realistic, loose work) it would be lovely as well! These are always fun!
Hi there Carmen, thank you once again. I very rarely create anything that would be considered 'abstract work', however I do paint in a looser style when plein air painting etc, so have added that to my 'to do' list as something to video and share on RUclips. May have to get my husband to hold the video camera for that one lol. Stay safe and stay creative xXx
This is the most beautiful piece of art work I’ve seen with the inktense! I do love them even though I only own the pencils, hopefully I’ll get the blocks eventually. Thanks for making all these videos, you’re an inspiration to me to get better with pastels!
Hi there Bel, thank you for watching my video and for taking the time to leave such an encouraging comment - truly appreciated. I hope you have fun with your inktense pencils, maybe you could get a couple of the blocks open stock to add to your collection. Stay safe and stay creative xXx
Brought my own set of 100. Need to save for blocks. San Antonio, Texas 😊
Awe wonderful news, you’re going to have so much fun with them xXx
Really pretty lizzy ❤
Glad you like my Iguana, thank you for taking the time to leave a comment, truly appreciated xXx
That looks so awesome! 👏🎨You are a great artist 😮
Awe thank you ☺️ your encouraging words are truly appreciated xXx
This is amaaaaaaaazing!💓
Awe thank you ☺️ truly appreciated xXx
@@kerrynewell-wildlifeartist Your work is master level very objectively and an absolute inspiration to me! Thank you!😊
Have you always had a talent to be able to draw so perfectly or is it something you learnt ? I can never draw so realistically even after doing art for 10 years. I basically just draw animals and seeing that you are a wildlife artist I thought you can maybe share some tricks to draw the animal realistically and proportionally before using any color medium.
Awe thank you for your kind comment, truly appreciated. I’ve been drawing and painting for as long as I can remember. My mum said that from the age of around 4yrs I could be found in our garden drawing and painting the things I saw there; butterflies, dragonflies, frogs, toads, newts, flowers and plants and even a grass snake or two. (I’m 57yrs now) So yes it’s something that I’ve always done and had a passion for. I class myself as a self taught artist as I never had tuition, just letting the natural world inspire me. However, I truly believe everyone can learn to draw and paint, realistically if that’s what you want to achieve. Firstly know that practise makes progress (never perfection). The more you draw the more you learn. Observation will be your best friend if this is something you want to achieve. As the more you get to know your subject the easier it will be to sketch, draw and eventually paint your chosen subject. When starting to sketch your subject take the pressure of yourself by using a normal graphite pencil (an HB pencil will do) and a piece of cheap paper (I often sketch on printer paper). Start with light shapes to form the posture and proportions, slowly apply darker lines when you begin to see the shapes and lines you want to preserve. Once you’ve created a sketch/drawing you can then transfer the lines you like to a piece of paper, canvas or board ready for the application of colour. There’s a video on my channel showing how I sketch a squirrel if you’d like to take a look. If you have any questions in particular I’d be more than happy to try and help you xXx

Wow 👍❤
Awe thank you Kaye! Your short and sweet feedback is truly appreciated xXx
Wonderful. I had an iguana and this is such a tribute to these beautiful creatures. Bravo!
Awe thank you for taking the time to leave such a wonderful comment - truly appreciated. How long did you have your iguana for? I'd love one but I know how big they get lol xXx
Hi Kerry. So lovely to hear from you. Your Iguana is absolutely stunning. Thank you for demonstrating your techniques when creating scales. Just a question about the Inktense, does it matter that they are not "lightfast". Would you sell an original piece or only the prints made from it? (-: Marion
Hi there Marion I hope you're keeping well. Thank you for your ongoing support and comments of encouragement - all of which are truly appreciated.
Regarding your question - Derwent says this "87% of the range is lightfast, however once water is added, lightfastness ratings will be different depending on how much each colour is diluted. If you are looking to keep your Inktense art for as long as possible, we advise you keep your artwork out of direct sunlight." So with this in mind I'll be framing the originals behind UV protective glass, and would only sell to a buyer who has been fully informed of the pigment properties. However, I will be making prints so that's the bonus of this wonderful medium, as they are completely mat when dry and photograph/scan perfectly. I hope this helps Marion xXx
So amazing! Love this. I was wondering why you only draw some scales then painted. I think I’d do the same..
Awe thank you ☺️ Regarding your question - once I’ve drawn something a few times it’s then set in my mind so to speak, therefore I can move on through a painting with the drawing in my head. Hope this makes sense. Your comment is truly appreciated xXx
Kerry. Great painting and Wow the detail is inspiring. I would like to support a previous comment for the request of a video on the airbrushing and the masking of the subject. I have done masking in the passed and I found it tedious and so any tips would be
brilliant. Thank you in advance.
Awe thank you Janet, truly appreciated. I do have plans for a couple of airbrushing videos but hadn’t thought of including a portion on masking techniques - so thank you.
Stay safe and stay creative xXx
@@kerrynewell-wildlifeartist That would be very helpful I wait for all your videos coming. I have already figured out from watching you that I need to slow down and take more time!
This is beautiful. I love the way you explain things. Have you ever considered doing patreon?
Hi there Janice, thank you for watching my video and for taking the time to leave such a wonderful comment- truly appreciated ☺️ My plan is to build on my RUclips channel throughout this year and then launch a Patreon channel in time for Christmas 😊 xXx
@@kerrynewell-wildlifeartist oh good. I’m sure you’ll do well.
@@jayelleart thank you xXx
Love the waffling brilliant tutorial, I am using Albrecht Durer w/colour pencils but have just bought a few Inktense to try what in your opinion are the best for birds and wildlife?
Hi there Merv, well you already have my favourite watercolour pencils 👍🏻 and now that you've purchased some of the Inktense pencils you'll have a fun-filled creative time indeed.
'Best for birds and wildlife' will always come down to personal preference and the style in which you like to work. I like to use the Inktense when I want the colour within the project to pack more of a punch so to speak. Now that you have a selection of both I would encourage you to do a couple of trial runs before commencing a more in depth project. Get a feel for working the mediums separately (even if that means just making a couple of swatch sheets - which I thoroughly recommend doing anyway), then try mixing the two. Your watercolour pencils will enable you to create washes and out of focus areas easier to begin with, as they wont 'stain' the paper as easy as the Inktense can. Remember that the w/c can be lifted when dry but the Inktense (once wetted) will be permanent. If you have any specific questions regarding either please feel free to ask xXx
Fabulous art work. Could you use other pencils to detail the scales so they stay put?
Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment - truly appreciated ☺️ When using Derwent Inktense, as you add water the pigment becomes permanent. However if you wanted to create a mixed media piece then you could add extra layers of coloured pencil, gouache, or even acrylic over the inktense base layers (but not the other way round). Hope this helps xXx
@@kerrynewell-wildlifeartist Thank you, that is really helpful. Those scales look like such hard work! 😬 New subscriber here by the way.
Trouble is I keep watching videos about inktense instead of getting on and practising 😁
@@Bassbarbie Awe thank you for subscribing - truly appreciated 😊 Maybe you could have your Inktense videos playing while you start using your supplies. Because Inktense is a water-soluble medium I do suggest swatching them out to begin with. So if you haven't already maybe you could begin your Inktense journey by doing that 😉 Any questions, don't hesitate to ask xXx
Beautiful work! How did you make the background?
Sorry I heard your reference regarding the background
Awe thank you for your comment and for watching my video. As you’ll now know I created the background using acrylic inks and an airbrush xXx
Fantastic work again 😁
Hi there Michael I hope you’re keeping well. Thank you for your ongoing support and encouraging words - always truly appreciated xXx
@@kerrynewell-wildlifeartist I am good thanks, fantastic colours and very helpful technique with inktense
@@michaelmcewan432 great to hear you're well but I hope you're staying creative too 😁 xXx
@@kerrynewell-wildlifeartist always been learning classical oil painting, in a zoom meeting lol 😂
@@michaelmcewan432 😂 brilliant! xXx
Can I use the Blick brand hot press watercolor paper that I have with Inktense pencils?
Hi there, I can’t see why not. Inktense can be used on a multitude of surfaces including paper, board, wood and material. So just give it a go on a scrap piece before starting on a full project. Have fun xXx
@@kerrynewell-wildlifeartist Thanks Kerry!
Hw did you acheive the shape on the block paper - a form of negative art; can I buy black block paper fo black negative paintings?
Hi there, the paper is white, I covered the paper where I was going to paint the iguana with a piece of Frisket film, this masks the area (like using masking fluid when working with watercolour). I was then able to paint the background without getting any of the darker background paint on the area where the lizard was going to go. I haven’t heard of a block of black paper available at the moment.
What spray gun are you using?
I have two airbrushes, the one I use most of the time is the Iwata Neo. My other airbrush is by Badger and is over 30 years old, I very rarely use this one as it now has sentimental value xXx
@@kerrynewell-wildlifeartist Relatable, my old Sotar is still enduring.
Amazing work! So beautiful 🤩 But please do not sell the original or display it! Inktense are NOT lightfast, they fade badly, especially the reddish tones. I made some tests…
Hi Emily, thank you for your comment. I’m aware of the lightfast difficulties as I’m an official Derwent ambassador. However, this piece and several others are hanging in my studio and I haven’t had a problem with any fading yet. One has been up for just over three years. I offer prints for sale as an affordable alternative to the originals where lightfast may be a problem xXx
Better call this : ' IGUANA IN WATERCOLOUR ' with DERWENT INKTENSE finishes...
😂
Could you please say whAt colours you are using as you paint them please ? I have both pencils and blocks but struggle with inktense because the colours are so vibrant. I would qppreciate the help. I have been using watercolour and learning from you tube tutorials. But i amfrustrated with the Inktense and would love to learn to use thembuti need a lot of "hand holding" to learn, thank you.
Hi there, first of all may I take this opportunity in saying thank you for watching my video - truly appreciated. I understand that ‘colour choosing’ can be difficult when starting out with a new medium, that’s why I always recommend creating a ‘swatch sheet’ of your colours first (swatching the Inktense range is a huge help as the colours look quite different once water has been added). Unfortunately I just don’t have the time to look to see which colour I’m working with at any particular moment during a painting. Also I often mix colours to create a unique hue or tone. The truth is colour isn’t that important, contrast is more important in any completed painting. When I’m working on a project and need a green for instance, I first think ‘do I need a warm green or a cool green?’ And then take it from there. It really is that simple so try not to overthink things. If you try one green and it isn’t right just put it down and try another. If you find it easier, try sampling colours on a spare sheet of paper before adding them to your painting (I do this) I hope all of this will be useful for you xXx
Thank you.. I am a senior with aphantasia and really do need hand holding but thanks for your reply. I guess I will put my blocks and pencils up for sale and stick to watercolours.😥 I love your work.
Oh bless you. Please don’t give up on your Inktense. I know very little about aphantasia but I encourage you to just try using your Inktense as you would your watercolour paints xXx
I would love to see how you use your airbrush to do your backgrounds.
Awe thank you for taking the time to leave a comment, truly appreciated indeed. I’ve added your suggestion to my ‘to do’ list xXx
