Hello my friends and welcome to another Tuesday of tutorial!
I am Leonardo Pereznieto, and today I will show you an interesting effect,
using ink and bleach.
With this we will paint a little landscape.
Inks react differently with bleach,
depending on their composition,
in this case we will use Montegrappa black fountain pen ink.
Let´s apply it on a small watercolor piece of paper,
like so...
Pretty fully and wet,
and then with a clean brush, we add bleach.
Let´s do this horizontally, sometimes starting from the left and others from the right, to even it out.
Grabbing more bleach, as needed.
We will paint a little waterscape at night, and the idea is that we have the dark sky,
and we open up some areas with more light.
It is starting to dry a little bit, but we can still add bleach, if we want to.
Down here, it is still pretty wet as you see.
Ok good! now let´s leave it alone to let it dry completely.
Alright.
Now that it is dry, I will draw with a fountain pen.
Let´s sketch the horizon line,
first just with a broken line to see more or less where I am going
and then we do the line,
a thick line.
Like this.
It will be like the land on the horizon.
We draw it at roughly about 1/3 from the bottom.
The list of materials, that I am using is in the description below the video.
I flip the pen around because it draws much thinner in this way.
And with it we draw some trees.
This will be the tallest one.
We make some branches and the foliage.
By the way I love the effect of the ink that you can see behind the trees,
it looks like it is rainning or something [laughter].
And then, let´s do some other ones...
like so.
Just the silhouette, not much detail at all.
Some smaller plants,
and then some more trees over here.
Ok, good! then let´s draw a refflection on the water.
pretty much the same things we see above
but a little bit wavy,
not precisely.
I learnt this ink and bleach effect
from the Instagram account, of my friend
Sandy Allnock.
Check it out she has beautiful and interesting things.
To give some more life to this, let´s draw some birds, over here.
This water color paper absorbs the ink, very much, so we need to be careful!
And a 3rd. one, over here.
Just like this.
Very good! ¡excelente!
Let´s give it the last touches,
the last details,
and it´s ready!
