In reply to Glenda. Hi Glenda I use Pigma Micron pens (see the description above where it says "What pens to use with watercolor" for more details... For the paper I recommend something which has a smooth surface (for example Hot Press watercolor paper). Again, see the section called "Best paper for ink and watercolor" above. Hope that helps :-)

Anthony – For this Sennelier drawing, what width permanent/indelible pen do you suggest or use? Also, do you have a favorite watercolor paper you use? I am a bit confused on the watercolor paper to use with the pen. Thank you.

It’s very kind of you to provide these tutorials for beginners! I could really use a couple of in-person classes but right now everything is Zoom, so I’ll have to keep practicing with your excellent tutorials. I will even take your full course at some point, after I finish another online artist’s set of exercises. Thank you!

Hi Elson
I’ve never actually tried them. Mostly because they are honey-based paints, like the M. Graham range. The honey helps preserve the paint and also makes it more fluid. The thing is, these kind of paints never actually fully dry.
Some people like this aspect, but it can get tricky when carrying them around in a palette.
They are also a little harder to get hold of in the USA and their price is slightly more expensive – probably because of the shipping costs…

Hi Anthony
Taking advantage of the theme, what do you think of Sennelier watercolor paints?
Thanks!
