Watercolor.- Pencil and brush with watercolor
Watercolor pencils look the same as regular colored pencils and can be used the same way. The magic happens when water is added, transforming the pencils and causing them to behave like watercolor painting.- Here are a few ideas and techniques you can try with this exciting and versatile médium
Technique #1: Color your drawing by layering colors, and then paint over the area with a brush and plain wáter.
The first thing to consider when using watercolor pencils is that colors will look different after water is added. It’s generally a good idea to make a chart on a piece of watercolor paper to see how the colors will look once wet, as the water will usually make the colors appear much darker and more vibrant.
A variation on this technique is to spray water instead of brushing it after your drawing is complete
Use the pencils dry to add details on a watercolor painting.
Technique #2 Watercolor pencils can be used on top of a watercolor painting to add designs and fine details. I find this technique really useful when painting cityscapes, for example, to create very fine lines like electric wires or buildings details.
You can use the watercolor pencils dry or dip them in water before drawing to make a darker bolder line. Or, you could even try drawing with the pencils on wet paper, which will produce a soft line
