Very valuable instruction that lends itself to many types of painting, not limited to pen and inks. Claudia Nice is worth revisiting over and over. The last portion covering ocean and splashing waves is priceless.

Great suggestions and techniques, I particularly liked the way that the rocks were textured in the seascape. Very nice! Wish that the video quality were better though, however the subject material still came through nicely.

I think I'll adopt your color palette using 3 cool and 3 warm primary colors. It would be helpful to list these under the materials list.

She is a delight! Calmly, she demonstrates basic methods to easily complete an ink drawing and later ink with watercolor. Its been years for me using watercolors and will look forward to giving WC a whirl once again with ink.

I found it interesting, inspÃ®ring and last but not least highly didactic.

I'm new to drawing with paint and ink and liked what Claudia showed regarding linework. I would have been very happy with the video even when the fun ended here, but it came even better when she added pen & ink techniques to watercolor paintings. The seascape she did in the video shows a lot of amazing surface details. I already bought one book of hers and I'm looking forward to watch more of her videos. Beside the content I like her teaching style and her charisma.

I like this video because the artist offers some really good tips. I just wish it was a better quality. The video is blurry at times. Sometimes I had a hard time watching the strokes she was making. It seems like a recorded VHS tape. I was hoping to get a better quality viewing experience for the price I paid for.

Loved this! Claudia inspires me to paint and she makes me think I can do it.

Liv 4/18/2014

I loved this video. I will have to add some pen and ink to my watercolors.

Claudia Nice is one of the best instructors you have. She is clear, concise and definately not boring. I love her videos.

Excellent instructions. Easy to follow along.

Claudia Delivers The Knowledge. There are not many other Pen and watercolor vids out there and this one is exceptional . The color theory was a NICE insight as was the texture on the rocks.
