Art vlogs, draw with me & material review videos 🌿 On a journey to become a better artist...
I'm Evelyne, freelance illustrator for fantasy games and books, and I'm posting my own art practice journey as I try to get better at anything and everything, from portraits to landscapes, charcoal to oil pastels. I also enjoy going very much in-depth in my art material reviews...
Painting mostly in acrylics and watercolors - and nowadays gouache - with the occasional digital sketch and lots of oil pastels.
I'm a Swiss artist living in South Korea, travel sketching on Jeju Island.

New art 🌿 https://youtu.be/uUImvSX-waA 🏵️ I've got a waterproof ink, some dip pen ASMR, and then a lot of watercolor paint mixing as I try to get more familiar with the green and yellow part of my palette...
Have you tried waterproof inks? I can see so many options now for mixed media with this...!

Finally, it's time for fountain pen sketches! https://youtu.be/Nn-b4wKkCq8 This is a longer, quite chatty and casual video, as I was just filming my first sketches and experiments with these pens over a few days in early August. I had so much fun, though, and felt refreshed and recharged for new art!
If anyone has advice on good fountain pen paper for sketching, I'm all ears. I use a Midori MD as a journal, and it shows the shading properties and shimmer so beautifully, so now I'm tempted to get a blank one to replace my nearly full Talens Art Creation sketchbook. 🤔

I have so many ink sketches to share with you! 💙 The video is nearly finished...
Here, I sketched with the Pilot Kakuno (F) inked with Wearingeul's "Dewy Starlight", a beautiful blue-teal shade with golden shimmer.
When crosshatching with it quite aggressively, it pools into a deep teal (like around the eyes of that Aragorn sketch) on this paper. The gold shimmer adds a touch of warmth and I often find myself just tilting the pages back and forth under the light to see the drawings sparkle...
It's one of my most-used fountain pen inks so far, and the Kakuno F really suits my sketching style!

A look at my sketchbooks lately. ❤️🩶🖤 I'm working on some new book illustrations, but hopefully, I can also finish an art vlog (or three) that I've accumulated wayyy too much sketching footage for. 😆
It's all the fountain pen inks! I can't stop drawing!

I haven't forgotten about gouache! Even in the throes of new fountain pen inks and lots of watercolor paints, I always return to gouache palettes for studies... 🌙💙🌳
A study of Friedrich Frank's 'Prague Cathedral' in the Holbein Irodori Autumn set, and then we head into Mirkwood with a study of a John Howe painting (more Irodori gouache!). Do you have a favorite? 🥰
While I'll never not be annoyed with the beige paper color of the Talens Art Creation sketchbook, it's still one of my most-used ones. 🤷 Weird how that works out sometimes! Does anyone else have a love/hate relationship with this particular sketchbook?

Maybe, one day, I'll dare use a larger watercolor brush... I'm really happy with how this video turned out 🖌️ https://youtu.be/QyuRgPjnyX4 🖌️ AND hopefully the audio is much improved, too!
I've started packaging postcards. 💌

Remember the Hwawon oil pastels? Which had to stop production? Good news!
It looks like they're coming back! 🌿
You can follow their lead artist here: www.instagram.com/____hwawon/ and I'm sure she'll post more detailed updates in the future.
I talked about these oil pastels in a past video, in which I sketched Baroque art inspired studies. The colours are so beautiful and truly unique!

I just ordered the postcard set for this month's snail mail! (And the larger art print, as well 💜🌿) I'm really happy with how this watercolour study turned out, and I hope you like the bonus ink sketch, as well! The painting process video is nearly finished, so I plan on posting that sometime next week. 🥰
And by the end of the month, the waterproof fountain pen ink I ordered should arrive, so I can try to combine my two current sketching obsessions: inks and watercolour!

So... I'm very much in love with these paints! I was worried that a large set like this would be overwhelming, but as they're all single pigment paints, it feels very intuitive to mix with them, getting exactly the undertones and even granulation I'm looking for.
To practice with the Mission Gold Pure Pigment watercolors, I picked a John William Waterhouse painting as reference. Master studies are always a great way for me to explore a new medium, since I can just focus on the colors themselves and not worry about the composition too much. 😅 Though I still (hopefully!) brought my personal character portrait style to this study!
I'm slooowly editing the footage of this painting process, so if you want to learn together with me and watch me struggle with wet-on-wet techniques, that should be coming this weekend!
(And this is also the membership/Patreon postcard for this month! 💜🌿)
