ntl, if I were you I would go the fountain pen route. If you wanted to add watercolor to your sketches and have you ink lines remain, going the fountain pen route would allow you to use archival ink (something you don't get with ballpoints). If I were in your shoes (and one of these days I might...

Amazing work with ballpoints.

It was neutral yellow (Progresso Woodless Light Yellow colored pencil) that gave me green with black.

Given that I'd be working with colored pencils and possibly also watercolor crayons (and thus not know the exact pigments I'd be dealing with), the results will be interesting. In my mixing tests I was able to get olive-looking green that was not muddy from yellow and black.

I can see it, thanks. Want to give this a go in some of my drawing media (or as I can them dry painting media).

Hi Renato. Interesting idea for an experiment. Unfortunately, your attachments are not showing up (at least for me). I get the message " Oops! We ran into some problems. The requested page could not be found." when I click on the links.

Oops. Sorry ntl. Rest of my comment still applies.

Really good experiments Bart. I've been interested in the Neocolor IIs for a while now mainly for plein air sketches and have bought black, white plus the three primaries. Still, it's good to see actual sketches done with them (there's not many out there from what I've seen).

Beautiful artworks, Christel and Kay. Kay, strange about you seeing the video being taken down. I was able to load it today. Here is the link if you need it: The Technique Good Painters Use to Become Better Faster!

Kay, well done.

Hello all, I am your host for the May 2022 Water Media Challenge. Feel free to use any media allowed under the rules of the Water Media forum. I am reusing some of the references I used for Wet Canvas watermedia challenge, so apologies if you've seen those. The images for the May 2022 Water...

Kay, will do. I'll probably change some of the reference images.

Lovely piece.

Kay, I wouldn't have a lot of time to post (have job search and finances to focus on), but if you're strapped for volunteers for May, I could probably reuse the photo refs I used for a WC challenge. Just let me know.

Beautifully done Kay. I'm seeing much of the sunset glow here. Could it be that the sunset glow is harder to get with watercolors?
