Ink and Watercolor Herbs; A page in our sketchbook

Hello everyone and welcome to my channel and welcome to this video. Today we will be inking and painting this herb garden and for that I did use this PanArt watercolor book. It's a handmade, fully handmade watercolor book. Also I used my own watercolor, some blue, violet, orange, yellow from the sky set and from the earth set I used green, some darker brown, a lighter brown and yellow. For the brushes I used this round number eight PanArt mop brush, Raphael number eight and number four round brushes. Also for the inking I used Micron pigma 03 ink pen and you know that's all the supplies and let's get to it. I will be starting with the inking and first I'm just going to go on top of my sketch that I drew and traced and by the way this sketch is available for download from my Patreon and if you join for free on my Patreon you will gain the access to this sketch and some more sketches but if you would like this video in full length step by step real time it will also be available for paid paint with me members on my Patreon. So as I mentioned I'm just going on top of the lines that I already did and later on I will be doing a little bit more of the details, embellishing. I do like to block everything in, put onto my paper with the ink and then just add more details and stylize the drawing and you can see that my lines are not straight they are quite sketchy, wibbly and wobbly and that's how I like it. I like to just make it a little bit looser. So now moving on to the details, adding a little bit more ink to some of the leaves for the rosemary, also adding a bit more ink for the pot, some shading and also some dirt maybe details onto the pot. Same thing on the basil. I'm gonna add a bit more details to the leaves, maybe some veins. Not to all of them but just to some. I don't want too many details and I don't want to just draw every single detail. We do want to keep it quite loose and simple. We will be adding watercolors on top and finish it with watercolor so it doesn't have to be in so many details done with the ink. For the sage also just a bit more to make some lines a little bit thicker and you can see straight away when just adding a little bit more of the ink how it just goes along away and makes it a lot more interesting and pleasing to the eye. Also those signs and when I'm done with the inking I will wet the paper first and then get a little bit of the green and start with the green. I do want to have the bleeds and just keep it again quite loose with watercolors. A little bit of the brown on the bottom and some orange for the pots. If everything bleeds outside my edges that's fine. That's what I do want. I do want to keep it nice and loose. Some shading also there and then a little bit more of the green onto the leaves for the rosemary. I'm not gonna paint every single leaf and paper is still wet so you can see that that green that I'm painting in is just going outside the edges also with the with the brown and now moving on to the basil. I'm gonna use green just again not trying to paint straight within the lines. A little bit more of the green in some parts and to some leaves and then some more splatters. Some yellow just to make those leaves a little bit more interesting and diverse. A sage I'm gonna flowers I'm gonna paint with violet and then leaves I'm gonna paint with green and a little bit of the turquoise because green on the sage leaves on the sage are slightly different color than not so green. They're also a little bit bluish so I did add a little bit of the turquoise to them. Some more finishing details, shading, some more splatters, more brown on the bottom and I will dry this completely and when it dries I'm gonna write in the text it's gonna be herb garden and with that I'm done.
