Welcome to a very relaxing and cosy one hour swatching session. During parts of the filming there was a storm raging outside, and I love that you can hear the wind and rain on the window. Grab a drink and some snacks (and your notepad!) and take a moment to enjoy the video, or put me on in the background while you work and I'll keep you company. You'll see a range of beautiful inks from Robert Oster, Herbin, Rohrer and Klingner, Liquitex and Diamine. I'll also swatch some Turner Acryl Gouache paints and Ecoline brush pens. Thank you for joining me while we take a look at these gorgeous new colours.
I haven't even watched the video yet but already gave you a 'like'. I know I will love it because your videos are always calming and wonderful and I can paint and listen and watch a bit.
I would love to see a TOP FAVORATE supplies and colors you are starting 2023 with. Anything you grab the most, if it's watercolor, pencils, markers, inks, whatever it is. Would adore that. I always love you fav colors videos.
One thing I recently learned about glass pens is that you should periodically rotate it while you're using it to continue to release more ink. Hope that helps!
@@NatashaNewtonArt I’ve watched this for two time to comment lol. Still in self isolation and nearly run out of food and water. So lucky to find supply today and then I saw you post this new video. Such a lovely day for me!!! Never thought Natasha will be the one to share fountain pen ink one day! I always consider it a more stationary thing. And I’m so very a color green person. I’ve gained many green color palette and inks through these years. Those green colors in you new supplies are gorgeous, can’t wait to see them shining in you work! Well I’m sure I will got some ink from this haul as soon as our delivery survives recovers. Can’t buy anything now but watching you do swatches is just as good. Thank you so much for every work you’ve done. It really helps me calm these days.
@@salmon2245 How are things for you now, Sijie? I hope that you're ok! I know I'm very late in answering this comment, but wanted to check in with you when I saw it. Sending good vibes and best wishes from England!
@@NatashaNewtonArt yes I’m finally free! Been released from the lock down city and now with a 72h COVID Test i can do whatever I want. Thank you so much for asking! And I’m sure to get some inks very soon lol
Ohhhh wow am so glad and happy that today I am early enough to watch the most recent one of you calming videos....I have been venturing on those you made a year or months ago☺️☺️ They are all amazing....not a day without at least watching 2 since I landed on this channel 👏👏👏
I’m here until the end, as usual. I wouldn’t want to miss even one minute. Thank you for all the wonderful art videos that you make! It’s such a treat to be able sit down with a cup of coffee coffee and start one of your videos 😍. I love these long videos and even tho I could watch them all the way to the end in one go I try my best to safe at least half of the to an another day. This way I get to look forward to one more relaxing and inspiring time with you without you needing to put a new video the next day. It’s a clear win-win situation for us both 😀.
Beautiful colour inks 💚💜💙 I've heard that shaking ink bottles gives air bubbles which could be something to look our for, specially in fountain pens. Gently holding the bottle upside down and back a few times seems to be better. 😊 And here till the end. I always watch till the end 💜
Love the details you talk about while swatching, about the colors, about what you will use it for and what you are going to do with it next. It is a pleasure to watch until the end ^^
Thank you, I'm so glad that you enjoy that aspect of it! I always love hearing how other artists use their materials, so I try to incorporate a little of that into the swatching. :)
😄I'm here at the end \o/ the ink swatches are amazing it looked like my kinda pallet! I really like Carmen and i struggle finding a good orange and that one looks amazing. I'm so pleased you like the muted inks! They are lush to work with. Such a good video again! I can't wait to see how you layer with the ecoline brush pens too! I have one that is 'bronze green' I've bee very on the fence about them so wanted to try just one before seeing if i can incorporate them into my work. Much love to you Mamma Newt
I agree with Margaret. They move lovely with water depending on the paper. I work with them mostly on hotpressed watercolour or smooth mixed media paper.
I am here till the end. Beautiful colours. Very relaxing video.you, my dear, are the queen of calm. When I have a stressful day, I go back and watch one of your videos, say a couple of prayers and I find myself back on track. :)
I bought a fountain pen a year ago and just could not get into it. But watching this video I now think I need a dip pen or 2 :). So glad I made it to the end!
I'm pretty familiar with the SketchInks and they are pretty fine in fountain pens. I have had some hard starts in my safari if I left it too long but generally just dip the pen in water and hold a paper towel against it and it will flow again. That is usually plenty. The sketchinks do settle so they benefit from shaking. The safari is an easy pen to clean so it's a good one to use with these inks. If you get a twsbi pen they are also good because they have such good caps with a rubber gasket that there is hardly any evaporation so you can leave your pens lying around longer without worry.
Yes you can definitely use the acrylic inks with dip pens, but not fountain pens😉 Also I find ecoline pens are water soluble on certain watercolor paper and not on others...
I love you swatching videos and learning so much have dapple with media for ages. Liquitex Acrylic inks are my favourites they last for years my favourite is the turquoise. I am interest to see what you are going to use them for I make background papers for handmade books. Thanks
I am also here at the end. I thoroughly enjoyed the ink exploration. I didn’t realize ink colors changed so much when they dried. A wonderful video and I’m looking forward to the watercolor swatching.
I'm here at the end of yet another lovely video. Your swatching videos are always such a joy to watch and listen to,and they are so insightful because you explain why you chose the colours and how you will use them in your work and it also shows you real good eye for colour. The ecoline pens are great under colour pecil as they add a kind of luminisity to the colour pencil, I discovered too that the the japanesque acrylic gouache because of it's texture is also amazing to add colour pencil over the top of because the texture grips the pecil i place and create quite an intersting texture..I think you you will really love the glass dip pen,I love mine,they feel nice to hold as you work with them. Inks are a staple in my chache hand hve been for yaers now,so its great to see them featuring more in your amazing work. The Lammy Safari pen is a great pen I have one myself and it's great for drawing, as you can get a good variation of line and you can get different nibs for them too. I love the Diamine inks as well, they are rreally vibrant and are affordable too. Just a thought maybe you could swatch the derwent drawing white on a piece of black paper,as this would show its opacity really well. Can't wait for he watercolour swatching!. Diamine make a range of inks that have mica flakes in them so they have a sheen when dry and I love these..Inks a great for pieces you want to scan to make prints of. I love how you describe the colours as you are swatching them,your real love of colour always shines in these swatching videos which is really lovely to haer and inspiring for us too. (matt) P.s I always wonde if a paint or ink company will watch your brilliant videos and create a paint colour and name it after you a "Natasha Bue" or "Natasha Green" as you ofteen say that some of the colours are a very natasha Newton colour,it wouls be wondeful l if some one picked up on tis and created some colours for you..
Made it to the end. Love your videos. I have been using dip pens for years for my stippling work. I prefer the subtle variations in colour and line that you can achieve with them.
Some stunning colours here Natasha 😍 I especially love the muted ones. That glass dip pen works beautifully. I may have to try that one out as my cheap one has chipped at the tip 🙁 looking forward to seeing the water colours swatched out 😊
Inks! Love you, love your videos, love your message. Leaving this positive support for you with a request that it cancels out in your mind at least three troll/negative comments. They’re weirdly your fans, too, they watch but for some reason express their fandom with meanness. Doesn’t make sense to me personally, but I hope this helps you take their view/click through and leave their comments in your mental rear view mirror. You are awesome and we all know it!!❤️🤩😍😎👏🤗❤️
Loved the video! All those beautiful colors 💕I stayed to the end and feel inspired to head to my local bespoke stationery shop for that Herbin pen. Looking forward to the watercolor swatching.
I enjoyed this to the end. Something about dip pens: if you rotate them slightly while writing, you don't have to redip as often. As to fountain pens: it is easy to ruin the nib if you use thicker, multi-media paper. Fibers get stuck between the tines and the nib will wear unevenly. Use them on 52 gsm or thinner paper. LAMY is a workhorse pen but fountain pens are designed for writing.
Thank you Natasha....I enjoyed this so much. I've been wanting to try gouache but couldn't figure out the best gouache to buy. This helped tons! So many lovely colors.
My heart bounced around seeing a new video of your calm kind of videos. :D Having a few of the Rohrer and Klingner inks myself I never do much with them but these make me want to use them again! I wish you had a 1080 video quality uploaded on YT. When it's swatches and generally videos with pretty colors I always try to watch them in a higher quality.
Thanks so much! I usually upload my videos in 1080, but I've been having so many problems with my older laptop (that I was editing on this time) and couldn't save it at 1080 as it was such a long video. There just wasn't enough space! So I had to settle for 720.
@@NatashaNewtonArt Thank you for answering :) I kind of figured it might have been because of the length of the video (which is AMAZING!) - oh and old gear to edit on must be a pain. Totally understandable.
@@NatashaNewtonArt love love the watercolor video! Weekend was too short but very well loved. Those watercolors were absolutely beautiful I’ve added a few too many to my wish list 😆 hopefully they’ll have another sale sooner than later 🤞🏼
I just purchased a Jacques Herbin Noir Inspiration ink. It’s one from their scented line of inks. It has a very nice men’s cologne scent about it. Quite enjoyable.
lovely video as always :) i stayed to the end, of course, and I can’t wait to see the watercolor swatching video next! I have a glass dip pen as well, and I really love the feel of drawing with it, it feels very ✨fancy✨
I’m here at the end, and I really want a glass dip pen now. I thought you’d be able to move the Ecoline pens too. They do move when you put them on damp paper though, quite a bit actually. Can’t wait for the watercolour swatching sesh ❤️
Ecoline usually are water-soluble and staining. On almost all papers you need to work with the marker strokes in my experience. The ecoline line caught my attention when Calligraphy masters in a YT video used the ecoline inks in combination with a poster nib and the ecoline brush pen. I was mesmerized.
I made it through to the end! You have some lovely colors of ink. I particularly liked the burgundy shade. I have a Lami fountain pen with a fine nib for sketching and love it. Thanks...looking forward to the next one.
The Safari was the first fountain pen I bought, it's a workhorse. It's super consistent and reliable, and unlike my pricier pens, I don't feel anxious carrying it around out of the house. The only caveat is that western-made nibs are broader in general than Japanese-made nibs and I work pretty much exclusively with EF nibs in my art so I don't much use it for drawing, rather I use it for writing. It's personal preference but it's something to bear in mind if you're particular about line weights. I didn't know there was a difference until I'd already bought a couple western pens and was disappointed with the extra fine. The Pilot Metropolitan is a highly rated inexpensive Japanese fountain pen, and in general Pilot makes my favorite fountain pens. I would recommend the Pilot Falcon for flex nibs but it's pretty pricey (~$180 US) because it's a gold nib pen. If you want to invest in a pen though, I do highly recommend it. I'm more attached to my Falcon EF than I am to some people, it's the only pen I use in my art now. I swear by it.
Thank you, Natasha! I did watch to the end but in several sessions! 😀😁 I have some of the inks and several Lamy-pens which I love. I really want to try the glass pen now, it looks great! 🥰😍😘
You should get Platinum Carbon Ink (black) for your safari pen. It’s what I use. It’s completely water proof once it dries so you can use watercolor and markers over it and it’s a nice black. I adore it.
When I am spending too much money on art supplies, I am going to blame you Natasha! 😉 I’ve already bought some Schmincke’s granulating colors and the Rembrandt Dusk Green and I am only a beginning hobbyist…. where is this going….! 😄
I have a Verdigris ink that I thought would be more green as well-the brand is Schreibtinte, also from Rohrer & Klinger-but I love it anyway. It’s a beautiful color and my main fountain pen ink. Enjoy your new inks!
I'm here at the end! Great video as usual. I love glass dip pens, I got my first one in a shop in Covent garden (sadly no longer there) in the mid 90s. Loving inks at the moment too, might I recommend trying a Diamine Inkvent ink. I have the shade Holly which is a green ink but dries with a red side, impossible to describe!
Beautiful inks! I have the liquitex muted gray and it’s my absolute favourite. If you liked the teal from diamine, you may consider getting the muted turquoise too, it’s similar. And I also just found out the other day that ecoline pens are refillable! You just remove the tip and fill in with ecoline ink from the bottle, isn’t that neat?

The Safari was the first fountain pen I bought, it's a workhorse. It's super consistent and reliable, and unlike my pricier pens, I don't feel anxious carrying it around out of the house. The only caveat is that western-made nibs are broader in general than Japanese-made nibs and I work pretty much exclusively with EF nibs in my art so I don't much use it for drawing, rather I use it for writing. It's personal preference but it's something to bear in mind if you're particular about line weights. I didn't know there was a difference until I'd already bought a couple western pens and was disappointed with the extra fine. The Pilot Metropolitan is a highly rated inexpensive Japanese fountain pen, and in general Pilot makes my favorite fountain pens. I would recommend the Pilot Falcon for flex nibs but it's pretty pricey (~$180 US) because it's a gold nib pen. If you want to invest in a pen though, I do highly recommend it. I'm more attached to my Falcon EF than I am to some people, it's the only pen I use in my art now. I swear by it.
Check on eBay for that pen.
Made it to the end lol great ink colors! I love the glass pen as well thanks for the video very relaxing ❤️
Nice to see you here, Amber! Thank you. ♡
Here till the end!! awesome colour story and if you ever do a video on how you use inks and dip pens, it would be really interesting...
Thank you, Natasha! I did watch to the end but in several sessions! 😀😁 I have some of the inks and several Lamy-pens which I love. I really want to try the glass pen now, it looks great! 🥰😍😘
It's great to hear that you like the Lamy pens! Thanks for watching, Chrissie. ♡ x
Stayed to the end ❤
I made it to the end! Just wanted to let you know I use Liquitex inks with my dip pen. I draw ink drawings and then paint with watercolour
You should get Platinum Carbon Ink (black) for your safari pen. It’s what I use. It’s completely water proof once it dries so you can use watercolor and markers over it and it’s a nice black. I adore it.
Thank you for the recommendation!
When I am spending too much money on art supplies, I am going to blame you Natasha! 😉 I’ve already bought some Schmincke’s granulating colors and the Rembrandt Dusk Green and I am only a beginning hobbyist…. where is this going….! 😄
Oooh, it's a slippery slope! ;)
They definitely look darker than on their swatches on the web page… thanks for sharing.
I made it to the end. Love these videos
Thanks Yvette!
I have a Verdigris ink that I thought would be more green as well-the brand is Schreibtinte, also from Rohrer & Klinger-but I love it anyway. It’s a beautiful color and my main fountain pen ink. Enjoy your new inks!
I'm here at the end!
Great video as usual. I love glass dip pens, I got my first one in a shop in Covent garden (sadly no longer there) in the mid 90s. Loving inks at the moment too, might I recommend trying a Diamine Inkvent ink. I have the shade Holly which is a green ink but dries with a red side, impossible to describe!
Made it to the end, thanks.
Thanks for watching, Cassandra!
Beautiful inks! I have the liquitex muted gray and it’s my absolute favourite. If you liked the teal from diamine, you may consider getting the muted turquoise too, it’s similar. And I also just found out the other day that ecoline pens are refillable! You just remove the tip and fill in with ecoline ink from the bottle, isn’t that neat?
I've heard this about the Ecoline pens but I couldn't work out how to get into them! Thanks for letting me know. :)
Stayed to the end 🤗
Thank you! ♡
