Hello, and welcome back to Jenna Gets Creative! Today's video: I'm trying out Dr. Ph Martin's
Bombay India Inks. You would not believe how many takes I have taken try to say that! Anyway,
I had another Amazon gift card to spend with my birthday money, and I ordered these, because
--the full Set 1, because I love working with watercolour inks slash india inks, and I needed
a new set, because my Winsor & Newton ones, while awesome, are over a decade old, and
my Higgens ones, like I, I don't think Higgens even makes the different colours anymore.
I think they just stick to black. Probably for good reason, because my old ones, they're
starting to, the colours are separating, doing weird things. Look at my Rough Tooth Dolphin
Project to see what I mean. Yup. I'm gonna be doing a botanical study with these, just
trying them out for the first time. I did end up going in and doing some details with
the Goldfaber pencils from Faber-Castell, and if you watched my review on those, you
will notice that I said that they were really translucent. That's a good thing when I'm
putting them over something else and I don't want to completely cover that colour. So,
I hope you enjoy!
So, as I mentioned in the intro, I am using my Dr. Ph Martin's Bombya India ink, watercolour
inks, India ink, whatever they are. They're colourful, they're inks, but you can use them
like watercolour. I'm honestly not entirely sure what the difference is between the fancy
coloured inks and watercolour inks. But the reason I bought these and not the ones that
are actually called "watercolour inks" is because these ones are lightfast, and the
watercolour inks are not. At least not all of them. So I went for these ones. They're
also a little bit cheaper, and I believe that is purely because they don't come with the
droppers built into the bottle caps. And that's fine with me. I have droppers of my own to
use, and yeah. So the painting you see me doing here, when I knew I was ordering these,
I drew out a couple of different flowers that I wanted to paint, and for this video I'm
just painting the first one. You can see the sketch of the other one there. I will get
around to it as well. I'm trying to gather up just a collection of generic floral, foliage,
feather type things so that eventually I can edit them together in digital form and start
making patterns to go on things for print on demand. Hopefully just let that go as a
passive income source. And uh, you know, complicated pretty pink flowers definitely seems to be
something that people are interested in, so I'm working on doing some of those! I'm doing
a base of these inks. I'm, I am building it up, not just one colour. Tried to do basically
what I did with the succulent flower when I tried out those really nice watercolours
from my very last SketchBox , but I decided to go in and do some coloured pencil detail
at the end, and I do like how the combination of the 2 mediums worked together. That's something
that I do a lot. I wasn't planning on doing it with this piece, but I just, I felt it
needed a little something more, so I did it, and I don't regret it. As I mentioned in the
intro, I did use my Faber-Castell Goldfaber pencils when I went in after and did the pencil
details on this, and although I have commented in my review on them that they are rather
transparent, that's good for layering on top when you don't want to completely obscure
what you've already done with the medium below it. So, these more transparent but still lovely,
crisp, lightfast pencils really does just add to the piece, rather than covering it
up. So it's the final details, and not the actual artwork on top of a colour layer. If
you know what I mean. I love working with these. I did a really nice swatch chart just
to figure out all the different combinations of colours I could get just by putting 2 colours
together, and it's a surprisingly big range. If you'd like to see me make another one just
as a tutorial or a demonstration, let me know in the comments down below. I'd be happy to
do that. Or with any of my mediums. Let me know! If you're new here, by the way, please
do subscribe and ring the bell for notifications. I upload every Tuesday and Thursday at minimum.
I also have bonus videos on occasion. Uh, sometimes there's scheduling requirements
'cuz it's a collaboration, or a YTAC or whatever, and then sometimes they're just whenever,
and when they're just whenever, I like to put bonuses out on Friday. Because Friday
is for bonus! I'm an art channel, as you can tell, but I do also put out crafts, tutorials,
and related product reviews on occasion, and so there's a lot of different fun content
you can stick around for. If you like this video, please do hit like and leave a comment
down below. It really helps out, I really do appreciate it. I love reading your comments,
and I do my best to reply to everybody as soon as I can. If you would like to comment
down below and you don't really know what to say, tell me, have you ever tried these
inks or any other ink in a watercolour, painterly way? Do you know what the difference is between
coloured drawing inks and watercolour inks? I'd love to know, if you know. Educate me!
And yeah, what are your favourite supplies to use, either painting or not painting. What
do you even define as painting? I see a lot of people working with coloured pencil calling
their stuff a "painting," but to me that just feels wrong, if it didn't involve a paint
brush... I don't know! I guess sometimes it does, if you're melting it down with odourless
mineral spirits, then that would involve a brush. So then I guess it is. I don't even
know! What do you think? Well, I'm not going to ramble the whole time, and I haven't really
left enough time to do something else interesting, so I am just gonna let you guys listen to
music for a few minutes. Thank you so much for watching. I will definitely put up the
other flower on this page when I do it as well. So, if you liked this in particular,
keep your eye out for that, and I'll see you in the end card. Thanks guys!
