Illustrations from The Ant And The Pigeon by Lev Tolstoy (1988) - Illustrations by Mikhail Komadin

[camelidae]

I started using water pens early in my experimenting with watercolors and I never looked back. They probably wouldn’t be too useful for large-scale watercolors, but for smallish illustrations like I do, they’re just right. Easily portable, and I love being able to control the amount of water I’m mixing into the paint without having to dip repeatedly.

(and I love, love LOVE not having to have a glass of water nearby for little kitties to try and drink from, fail to drink from, and then spill dramatically onto my work.)

Thought this might be useful! My materials -> my art.

A PSA about art materials and longevity: If you intend your art to last, you should use archival lightfast art materials made for artists, NOT paints or markers made for hobbyists or designers (Looking at you, Copic markers). Know your materials!

Whether it’s old fashioned gouache paints or modern markers, designer’s art materials WILL fade and change or even destroy your artworks, no matter how strong or bright their colors may look at first.

An example: This is the cover of the “New Yorker” magazine dated March 12, 1938, made from a color photograph of a gouache painting by illustrator Garrett Price.

(The pale greyish splotches on the 1938 magazine cover are age spots on the paper and not part of the original artwork.

This is called "foxing" in the antiquarian book collecting world.)

This is a photo of Garrett Price's original gouache painting — in the condition it was in at a 1999 auction.

Haunting!

What happened? Over the years daylight or maybe just even time passing faded the colors of the gouache paint Price used … Because designers’ gouache paint is not a permanent artist’s material. It’s not MADE to last.

When you put the two images side by side it’s even more stark. The central woman's deep rose pink dress has faded to a barely-there ghost-beige.

The rich green cornucopia looks completely different.

Most of the blue ribbons and pink flowers are completely gone, leaving the purple parts as faint mauve ghosts hanging in the air.

Even the nice black outlines are gone. Black should be a permanent color!

The pretzels have faded to a pale doughy mass.

Gouache paints are made to be bright for ephemeral advertising art and posters. They really are not suitable for any art that is meant to last. Any artist interested in the longevity of their hard work should use archival materials such as artist’s watercolors or professional acrylic paints instead of designers' gouache or markers, no matter how attractive the colors.

And don't think that because this was from 1938 things have changed that much. They were still selling designer gouache with fugitive pigments when I was an art student and art supply stores are still selling them now. And those markers are modern.

Know your materials!

I recently bought a set of Nevskaya Palitra Master Class gouache to see how their quality holds up to my Schmincke, M.Graham and Daniel Smith gouaches. They're WORLDS cheaper, but advertised as 'professional grade' (which doesn't necessarily have to mean fuck all) and since I love their White Nights watercolours, I thought I'd give it a shot over the ubiquitous Himi Miya gouache (which is definitely NOT professional grade, it's not lightfast, there is no pigment information and, for me super importantly, getting single refills is a nightmare here in Germany while I can buy the full range of the NP Master Class paints as single tubs).

They, of course, aren't the same quality as my more expensive paints and I didn't expect them to be. I wanted them as practice paints and paints for doing little sketches in my sketchbook and for that, they are MORE than sufficient. They clearly have some fillers in them, but it's not disruptive and it doesn't make them chalky while still maintaining to beautiful, matte surface goauche is so well known for.

They blend well on my usual watercolour paper, go down smooth and even, mix nice and vibrantly even with a few of them having white added to them .... not much to complain about. They even play nice with the wax varnish I like to use (as seen in the first image) without going weird on me...

I painted this color sketch of Overlord by month ago. Аnd there is short story about it.

My special friend presented to me cool complect of marker for artists at my b-day that "to paint Overlord also other transformers". But this complect… Well, it includes many beautiful colors like leaves-green, hot pink and salmon ones, other colors. And there are not blue, not lapis, not dark blue colors! Only cold "blue gray" colour. So… I was tryed. The little sketch of Overlord. What do you think, it is win or lose? Anyway, it is very good present.

Hello! I'm curious what materials do you use in your art?

Usually, I use my copic multiliners and markers on my sketch pad. Although, recently I've been drawing on shikishi boards using a sign pen marker for the lineart. Still using copic markers for coloring :)

(Also tried digital a few times, but it looks different than when I draw on paper, at least for me, and I like the results more when I use traditional. Just a random note.)
