I would love more instruction with watercolor pencils. This medium would be perfect for urban sketching. Please more videos on the watercolor pencils.

6:58 The wood will soak water, too, and re-hydrate. Re-hydrated wood expands. So you put stress on the wood casing. When soaking the watercolor pencil lead do it in shallow water to avoid getting the wood casing soaking wet. or use a wet sponge or wet cloth to keep the stress for the wood casing minimal. When working with watercolors of any type having a wet cloth and or sponge in reach is always a good idea-

I have to say I find my ignorance astounding. I have underestimated colouring pencils all my life. You have completely changed my perception of colouring pencils and inspired me to give them ago, as i always wanted to start painting but found traditional oil based pigments intimidating.

Yes please! More videos about watercolor pencils would be much appreciated! There’s just not enough content on putting the techniques to use on an actual full piece of work (like you did with the rose). Thank you!!

A good alternative to washi tape (as it can be expensive for such a small amount), is masking tape! The tape you would use when painting your living room for example. Just remove some of the stickiness by putting it on your clothes and then lifting it back off. Now you can apply it to your paper

I love watercolor pencils for their versatility and ease of use. I find them much easier to control than regular watercolors. Would love to see more tutorials on WC pencils such as effects and textures. Thank you!

I just got my Faber-Castell set of 60. Seems a bit intimidating but your video makes them less so. Thanks and I subscribed.😉

I’ve had watercolour pencils for ages, but they’re one of the art supplies I’ve always neglected. This is making me want to give them another go!

[bubzzydraws]

It was like you secretly knew I would need this video 🤣 As a digital artist who has sooo much paper and traditional medium supplies I’ve always wondered why I bought them and when I would use them. By chance I dug out my watercolors last night including the pencils and struggled with a piece. Now, after watching this tutorial I’m feeling a lot more confident in going into my next piece 😊 Thanks for the tutorial! It was incredibly informative 🥰

I LOVE watercolor pencils. It's my 2 favorite mediums used together. When I first started using them it was like a dream come true for me. It sounds corny, I know, but i think we all remember that feeling when we first found our "my medium of choice". And there's so many different ones to try. I like the brush tip watercolor color pens as well for a lot of control and a bit of traditional watercolor feeling. But my all time FAVORITE are the Derwent Inktense watercolor pencils. They're just in a league of their own. If you find that you like watercolor pencils and want to play around with different types, I HIGHLY suggest these Inktense pencils. I have NO idea why they haven't gone viral yet like the Himi Gouache, etc. I hope you guys try and love this amazing medium. 💜

Amazing Timing!! I just bought watercolor pencils like a month or two ago, trying to figure out how to use them! 😆
Lovely demo! And thank you!🌟

I love my Albrecht Durer wc pencils, which I started to use during the first lockdown. For the last 18 months I’ve been practicing all the techniques you have demonstrated and would like more tutorials. I have been attempting to recreate a frosty rural scene, with fields, hedges and trees but I’m struggling as it is so very different to a snow scene. I like misty scenes too, with or without frost. Thank you 🙏🏼

[rachaelhasan]

I've actually been wanting to get into my watercolor pencils more so this was perfect timing. Thank you!

[sherriewebber]

I really appreciated this. I would love to see landscapes that include buildings. Urban settings too. I have a photo I took in Colmar, France of multicolored buildings that I would love to try watercolor pencils on. And I think Albrecht Durer is the best, the lines totally dissolve with water!

You are the best teacher who taught me how to draw I love your clips I love you continue to your channel I hope you reach two million subscribers😌

[roselucht]

Thank you for sharing this! I just received a set of 72 beautiful water color pencils. I’m loving them!

Very nice demonstration. I just purchased some water color pencils for a family member for Christmas and this is a good demonstration of how they can be used for nice art work. Thank you.

She is sooo, good. knows exactly what to do. Wonderful watercolor effect, yet better then most "brush alone method"works. I use the same brand of pencils, Albrecht Durer and am very happy with them. I also like to draw-in with the pencils, then soften the look with a light wet brush.
