Fountain Pen SKETCHING + Simple Watercolour PAINT - Line & Wash - Step By Step

🎨 Fountain Pen SKETCHING + Simple Watercolour PAINT - Line & Wash - Step By Step Welcome to this beginner-friendly guide to line and wash—a relaxing, expressive art technique combining ink sketching and watercolour painting. In this full-length tutorial, I’ll walk you through how to create a compelling scene using nothing more than a fountain pen, a brush, and a splash of colour. Whether you’re just getting back into sketching or trying watercolour for the first time, this step-by-step walkthrough is designed to ease you in. 🖊️ What is Line and Wash? Line and wash is a beautiful balance of structure and spontaneity. We begin with a freehand pen drawing (the “line”) and follow up with light watercolour work (the “wash”) to bring life, dimension, and mood into the piece. It’s ideal for sketchbooks, travel journaling, and daily creative play. The great thing about this method? You don’t need to be perfect. In fact, the charm is in the looseness! This video features an industrial sketch—a grader machine—rendered in a loose, lively style. You’ll learn how to break complex forms into basic shapes, how to suggest rather than over-detail, and how to leave white space so your image can breathe. ⏱️ CHAPTERS Use the timestamps below to jump to any section: 00:00 - Introduction A brief intro to what line and wash is and who this video is for—beginners and returning sketchers alike. 00:25 - Tools & Materials Using just a fountain pen, brush, pencil, and a small watercolor palette to keep things simple. 00:49 - The Pencil Sketch (Yes, Just This Once!) While I typically avoid pencils to encourage confident linework, I’m breaking my own rule here for perspective accuracy on a complex machine. 01:15 - Why I Don’t Recommend Pencils (But I Used One) A short story about my daughter and how pencils can create overcorrection and hesitation in young artists—leading to a more freehand philosophy. 02:03 - Breaking Rules, Drawing Machines Sharing my industrial design background and why machines trigger my more technical side—even in a freestyle sketch. 03:13 - Planning Composition Learn how I decide on image placement and how to avoid filling the whole page to preserve that beautiful white space. 04:07 - Establishing Anchor Points Using proportional reference points from the photo to block out key shapes and avoid over-sketching. 05:18 - Understanding Proportions and Construction Lines Visualizing the scene using vertical and horizontal thirds and quarters for balanced layout. 06:06 - Pen Work Begins Switching to the fountain pen to do the real drawing. Learn how to keep your linework expressive and loose, rather than overly rigid. 06:24 - Sketching the Grader Wheels Adding detail without overloading—how to suggest tire grips with quick shorthand marks. 07:07 - Managing White Space Understanding when not to draw. Why negative space matters just as much as the lines you put in. 07:57 - Color Choices & Mood Talking about watercolor palette selection—how colors can reflect emotion, realism, or stylistic goals. 08:47 - Starting the Wash: The Ground Jumping into watercolour with the “wet-in-wet” technique to keep the ground dynamic and soft-edged. 09:55 - Underpainting the Machine Creating loose, layered colour washes to suggest form, rust, and structure—without overpainting. 10:29 - Painting the Sky Mixing soft blue tones with muted pigments to echo a cloudy, wintery sky—without distracting from the focal point. 11:37 - Layering for Depth Using multiple watercolour layers to create shadow, form, and depth—especially on tires and undercarriage. 12:18 - Adding Yellow + Rust Tones The main yellow of the grader gets painted in now, followed by soft and hard-edged rust detailing for realism. 13:01 - Building Shadows and Form Darkening engine compartments and cab overhangs with deeper values for dimensionality. 14:17 - Junkyard Feel with Foreground Details Loosely suggesting abandoned metal and visual clutter with minimal lines and bold brushwork. 15:11 - Final Touches and Shadows Finishing the sketch with dark accents, line reinforcement, and tonal correction to balance the scene. #fountainpensketching #lineandwash #sketching #sketchingtutorial Exclusive content, longer videos, more sketchbook fun, more support and no ads!
