I just ordered some pastelmat after watching you get those amazing blooms in the background - I love to get those effects for fluffy fur - thanks for a great video!

[jeanlanz]

Gorgeous leopard. You are a wonderful artist! God bless you.

[vivenna]

This is the first time I’m really impressed with a result from the watercolor pencils. I bought my set on a whim many years ago and honestly hated using them. I’ll keep your advice in mind next time I’ll try. Thanks!

[jenniefrench]

I use wc pencils under Pastelmatt and Luxarchival. Yes you mentioned about the need ro wait for it to dry which is very important. I also use them to to fur like I would color pencil and so I use both or one or the there. I don’t have as much bleeding issues, I really wait and use minimal water to pigment. Since watercolor is more of my base, then I just felt it would work. Your painting turned out very nice. I do like to top of with a wax based pencil or the Lightfast if I am mixing. Also for those who really want to use colored pencils and watercolor pencils but can’t afford both the wc pencils are less expensive but I would get a Derwent drawing white, or Prismacolor white and a few of the Derwent drawing pencils. The wc pencils on Pastelmat or sanded paper do very well. Very lovely!

I have some of that Clairfontaine paper, so I may give this a try. I use the Albrecht Durer and other watercolor pencils on hot press paper, and then, at the end, I move the piece to my Icarus Art Board, a very expensive hot plate, basically. This heats up the paper and allows me to add highlights with wax-based pencils. Great video!

[NaomiCoutureArt]

I wasn't expecting the pencils to bleed so much like that, I like using my watercolor pencils when I want to be more controlled with them but still get that watercolor look. Did it bleed under the tape too? Beautiful piece by the way!

[claritzairosario]

Wow! When I see that bleed close to the nose of the leopard, I was scared of the end result of this peace! And when I see how you can fix it, I said, oh my God! she solved the problem! It's very interesting, how you can use this tipe of watercolor pencil, and take care of use it. Thank you for all your advice!

[johlssonse]

Wow this is so beautiful 😍 Great job and inspiring, keep creating ❤️

[ML]

You are an amazing artist!! Thankyou for prociding such a great channel 🙂

[Morticia]

First: for someone who isn't German you pronounced the name pretty good (I still wonder why Faber Castell gave these pencils a name that is so hard to pronounce - sure he was a famos Artist, but still...)
I personally love them, I love to work them on PastelMat and I usually use them as an underpainting and then go on with my normal pencils.

[LaurenWilkinson-sjhi]

Hi, i love this piece of work it looks stunning. Just to check the final layer of pencil that you used - was this the dry watercolour albrech durer pencils or a different pencil altogether?

[uuu]

Great work, pls upload more videos😀Your videos are much inspiring😊

[margaretf]

Try the Holbein soft white pencil! It's even more opaque than derwent drawing.

[helengill]

Wow this was fantastic to watch your amazing :)

[faizariazart]

Hello so beautiful and very nice water color pencil video

[bllackwing]

I am looking at your Fine Art Academy but I don't see any tutorials for watercolor pencils.

[JMMCAArt]

I panicked when I saw you adding water on your patreon. I was wondering how you fixed it --- such a beautiful piece. Knowing myself, I would have tossed it out. Pastelmat is so forgiving. Great work

[Kmaia.art]

Is the second layer watercolor pencil as well? Including the white? Nice work! Thank you for the info ❤

[johannarias]

Hi, what about the lightfastness of the Albrecht Dürer watercolour pencils? I have them too and i have made pretty bad experience with them fading away. Did you see any changes in colour? I refer to the ochre and reddish colours. Black and white are stable. Very realistic drawing/painting. Very inspiring. Johann

[joymiller]

Should have done the light colors then blended then added the spots, at least that’s what I woulda tried.
