    Ive tried every brand of artists' water soluble pencils and and reviewed most of them and these are by far the best. The Albretch Durer are a close second because they do have more colors and are easier to layer than these but this are in my estimation by far the best water soluble pencils on the market

    This medium is the best of both worlds!I used to use only colored pencils until I discovered watercolor pencils. I love how Faber Castell Albrecht Durer Watercolor pencils can layer. I've been wanting to try the museum aquarelle because I bought the Luminance pencils and these look just as amazing. Also it's nice not having to use solvents to blend. All you need is a little water to get rid of the grainy look, it's so satisfying.

    I love that I can see you using these pencils. I would love to see you do a portrait in these. I found that they lend themselves to using many layers. I know it’s ungodly expensive, but you might want to try 300 weight paper. Arches is definitely the way to go. You might find that you get deeper, richer colors if you try the cold press. It’s not as appealing in a small drawing, but on a large drawing, cold press seems to allow the detail that hot press does, but the surface is much more durable. When I use them, I tend to make the last layer mostly in dry pencils. If you are worried about the paintings being fragile, you might want to spray them with fixative after they are thoroughly dry. I have heard that this helps with lightfastness, but I really don’t know if that’s accurate. I use Lascaux brand because it seems to work on any medium, and It doesn’t darken the painting or change the colors. It’s too expensive, but I don’t use much.

    Sadly they do have wax in them so it does make them have a bit of a wax bloom giving them an opaque finish. They do have the best pigment and color payoff out of all the major brands so they do make a great dry pencil, the only other way to get them to work for loose coloring is if you use an aqua brush and apply a wet brush to the tip of the pencil then apply to watercolor paper. The Arches is not vegan FYI, they use gelatin from rabbits.

    This is stunning, @Lachri Fine Art! (Ha, ha! Pun.) It's just amazing, Lisa! I am extremely excited to see you gaining interest in & utilizing more of your talent with water media! It's crazy fun, isn't it? We're alike in many ways. I had generally avoided water media, concentrating more on acrylic, oils, (adore!) water soluble graphite, graphite pencil, colored pencil, etc. I can see how you'd love these! I do as well,) & it makes me happy knowing this is likely. I can hear you smiling. 😁 I do recommend a more stiff synthetic for watercolor & especially gouache/acryla gouache. It's easier to move the paint around to gain control. (I use both synthetic & natural squirrel, but it honestly depends on the effects I'm going for!) As far as your surfaces go, try to avoid the wood pulp papers and use cotton!! This is one of the reasons Arches yields such beautiful results is the way the cotton dances with the pigments of the watercolor. Another surprisingly great cotton paper is the new Winsor & Newton, but I've become a paper snob, and I love my Arches! (I'm looking forward to trying the Kilimanjaro, Hannamuhle Botanical, & seeing as I am in love with their heavier drawing papers, trying the Stillman & Birn as well!) If it's not a cotton paper, the pigments might seem more dull, more flat, and rather than absorbing into the paper, may just sit on top of the surface & also take longer to dry. 😉 Personally speaking, I found that I simply wanted to loosen up, concerning my own artwork - also, Watercolor has been a medium I've purposely avoided throughout my academics & professional journeys. I even thought I strongly disliked it very early on just because I didn't know how to use it properly. *When I dislike a medium, I make sure to learn as much as possible about that medium. When I do this, I teach myself how to use it & end up truly enjoying it!* I'd the strong the desire to let my art flow more freely, kind of expand my art. I do such detailed, controlled, tight, precise & obsessive graphite, ink, and colored pencil works. In the case of my experimenting/teaching myself to use water media, specifically watercolor , gouache, & the acryla gouache, (YOU should TRY the Acryla Gouache, by the way! *I use Holbein.) I've 100% fallen entirely in love with it to the point where I'm studying the "science" of the specific pigments making up the products and even considering creating my own from scratch! This is a gorgeous piece. I admire the effect you've created here with the light, the composition, & of course, the colors! Great review video as always. I hope you continue to play with these types of materials and have as much fun as I have in doing so. Looking forward to more of your work! Blessings, Barbra 🖤🎨💀 P.S. Sincere apologies for the rambling! I drink copious amounts of caffeine! 😂 (It also helps the pain associated with my spinal conditions. I'm aware you've had to kind of teach yourself to get used to creating while using an easel too. I definitely empathize. You're an inspiration & often help to cheer me up when I'm down concerning my disabilities + making my artwork.

    Barbra Loveless is that why I also leave long rambling details comments so often, my height caffeine intake! Nice detailed comment. I really want to try the new Windsor & Newton 100% cotton. The only 100% cotton I have is some of the Strathmore 500 and Arches is psychotically overpriced here in Canada. I need to look into the new one. I still like a few paper pulp ones the bee paper company super deluxe mixed media is nice for example. I also think Lachri May be a bit too obsessed with Lightfastness these have very high ratings so she should feel fine selling the original.

    ValasaFantastic, I think you'll like the W&N, and it's not insanely expensive. I love the Bee Paper too! There are many great papers out there. I've simply become so picky about my paper. I'm not proud of that, but I admit it. I still use other papers for other things, don't get me wrong. If it's something I'm going to be selling though, I use better materials. (The best I can afford that will be most complimentary to the medium I am working with.) Other lighter weight papers are great for swatches, color comps. & exercises, etc. One of the reasons, and it is the biggest reason, I thought I was terrible with watercolor & wasn't liking it - was all due to the fact that I was using the wrong paper. The paper wasn't heavy enough even at 98 lbs., (I use a lot of wet in wet techniques.) I was fighting with the medium so much. There was all of this pilling with the paper. I was having a really hard time of it. All the issues I was experiencing and problems I was having resolved when I made sure I was using softer brushes and a better paper. Arches is horribly expensive where I live too. I wait for it to go on sale, (the art store near me does a sale once a year where the Arches is actually cheaper than the W&N!) and until I have a coupon. 😉 She's seems really happy with the pencils! It's important to place much emphasis on lightfastness with your audience. If you are working with something and are selling your work, it would be terrible for someone to have bought your artwork only to see it fade away over time, in places, or even altogether! (Did you know they've recently discovered that Van Gogh was extremely fond of a certain red Hue & used a great deal of red in his works?! He used a very fugitive type of red, so we've never seen it! I believe they saw it via infrared or something like this. They're working on adding this color back into the works using computer technology!)* Your artwork isn't just artwork, it's your name. It's important to be true to your clients as well as yourself. Some don't care about pH levels or the acidic factor of their papers/materials, lightfastness or the fact that using certain products, (such as linseed oil with oil paint,) can cause major yellowing over the years. It's fine if someone doesn't want to be so concerned about lightfastness ratings, but it's best to be aware. I need more caffeine, haha! 😉 I hope you like the W&N watercolor paper if you try it. Take care!

    Barbra Loveless no problem, I care about and spread lightfastness news too! I just think we can go too far with anything and need to seek balance. Yeah I think many people give up on watercolour because the paper sucks and not even because of any other reason. The paper just makes the biggest difference! I looked into the Winsor and newton and it seems very reasonable, I hope to get some soon!

    If you like the Derwent water brushes, then you should really look into the Pentel Aquash brushes. I found that Derwent brushes would suck up pigment when mixing, which isn't as much an issue with the pencils, but something to consider. Pentel is very well regarded. I'm a bit surprised that you didn't mention the other, huge, advantage of watercolor pencils over traditional colored pencils: water is your solvent. That's really awesome for travel, especially, but also for those sensitive to OMS or similar. Also really handy for sketching in the wild, especially when you have water brushes. Finally, I'm looking forward to that postcard!

I also like the mont mart battery eraser as well its also a lot cheaper and is a bit sturdier then the derwent one which flew apart when I tried to change the batteries. I did go back together again ok though. :) Love your work Lisa and respect your honest input.

I'm a total beginner at drawing, but I would like a Disney fairy godmother/father who could turn my pumpkin into that wooden box set, or the Albrecht Durer one, or maybe Derwent watercolour or Inktense, or even Prismacolors - (anything that hurts my dodgy wrist & hand less than my sad affordable options. Art supplies are so darn expensive here in Australia that I have major art supply envy whenever I hear the bargain prices you guys pay - e.g.the Prismacolor 132 set that costs around $80 in the US, costs $200 here. I'm too scared to even look into how much that beautiful Caran D'Ache box set would cost here.

    Thank you Lisa!!!!!!!!!!!! Got the answer to my question I just sent you on another video!!! Love these! Love your painting! So happy you are now doing watercoloring with pencils, yay! I have both the regular Derwent and the Derwent Inktense, and a set of Caran D'ache Supracolor Aquarelles. Of the 3, the Supracolors I like best. Oh, you mentioned the price! Wait until you start buying full tubes of watercolor paint from companies like Daniel Smith or Schmincke! The price of the full set of Museum Aquarelle's will pale by comparison when you start adding up what it costs getting the same range of colors buying them in tubes, so honestly, it is a great way to get the highest quality watercolor pigments with that many colors, for people who are really serious about water coloring. I highly recommend Escoda watercolor brushes, their line of kolinsky sable brushes are the very best in the world. My favorite are their French quill brushes! (Can you tell I love brushes?!) You can buy them for a good price at the Art Supply Warehouse. My other favorite (speaking from experience after doing a lot of testing with various brands) is the DaVinci Maestro brushes (good for more controlled coloring, the Escoda for loose coloring).

    I've been watching a lot of your videos lately and I honestly don't know why I didn't start to watch sooner cos' I love watching you work :) Your story is also very inspirational. I sometimes get kind of depressed because I'm already 33 and work almost full-time so I feel like I won't get anywhere with my art. But I've come to realize that it's really just a matter of willpower and trying to keep myself inspired. Lately I've worked on my own stuff while listening to your videos in the background. I do have one question: Now that you've used both InkTense and actual watercolor pencils, which one do you prefer? I have the full 120 set of FC Albrecht Dürers and a few CA Museum Aquarelles to replace the fugitive colors of Dürers. I also have a big set of real, artist grade watercolors. However, I get very frustrated with them (all watercolor really) since I never seem to be able to go dark enough and the lower layers can lift. However, I've also grown accustomed to lifting the paint and softening areas. Because of this habit I rarely use masking fluid either. Combined with papers that enable easy lifting, I find that I can sometimes completely 'erase' overflown paint. So I'm kind of wondering if getting InkTense would actually help me. I do work with Polychromos on top no matter what so maybe I would just be jumping from a frying pan into the fire by adding yet another tool to my tool box. While the permanence of InkTense is appealing, it would also stress me out since lifting wouldn't be possible with them. I've used that technique so much.

    I really like how you've identified what makes these pencils unique, it's very helpful for figuring out if they might be worth the purchase or not! I've also read that they're a bit softer and easier to draw with than some other pencils, which might be better for people with arm or hand pain. Did you find this at all?

    regarding lightfastness... I was of the understanding that lightfastness has to do with the pigment itself. Not the medium it is bound with. It should not make any difference whether that pigment is bound with oil, wax, chalk or any other binder. Adding water to a pigment does not change its lightfastness. It is the pigment itself that is measured to see if it is fugitive or not. For example in watercolour the Pigment in opera rose is very fugitive. It would not matter if that was an oil stick, watercolour, acrylic, pastel etc.

    It's possible you're right, but going by Caran d'Ache's own info, they state "Colours with a *** rating are satisfactory but they will last longer if used in concentrated form". This indicates there is going to be variation based on how thinned they are. I do wish we had more information. Either way, I would still recommend using UV glass with the finished work.

    Binders absolutely matter! Otherwise why would a student grade brand be less lightfast than its professional counterpart in many brands in pigments. This is also the reason the old masters mainly used watercolor for sketching. It was so much less lightfast than oils. There are several watercolor lightfastness tests on KZread you can check out. When you do notice that even tube watercolor in thinner applications will fade faster than when it's applied thicker. This is also why watercolorists are slightly more obsessed with lightfast ratings than other mediums. Some colors that aren't a problem for other mediums are for us. Example, Prussian Blue. Despite having a 3 star ASTM rating, it will fade sometimes. I've heard batch per batch are different, but for me that's not good enough so it got the boot off of my pallet.

    They actually use more binders and fillers which (in watercolor) makes the finished product less pigmented. I'm not saying your wrong because some brands use lesser quality pigments and hues, but not all brands and I'll stand behind my original statement and add that some brands may be a combination of the two ingredients but I seriously doubt obtaining aquality pigment is the problem with a brand such as caran dache. Either way my original post was intended to specify "watercolor binder vs oil/acrylic binder" and how those mediums are more light fast than watercolor not "watercolor pigment vs watercolor binder."

    I only work when the paper is all the way dry. With watercolor pencil you don't need to push hard to get decent color saturation IF it's a quality pencil. I've used some that no matter how much pressure or how many layers you added, they were super faded. The only time I add much pressure with the pencil is for final details. That said, experiment with different pencil pressure until you find what gives you the look that YOU like! There's no one right way, this is just what works for me :D

    Fantastic video! This gives both a detailed watercolour pencil/ realism tutorial and an in depth review of the pencils themselves! I’d love to see you invent a creature or do a more amalgam picture not a direct copy. The amount of study you have done can help you do a realistic made up animal. Make up a species of bird, fish or mammal! Or even an alien critter, dragon, etc. If you make up a species you can make it very realistic to a plausible addition to a current family of animals such as your own species of clownfish or robin. I would also like to see you do paleoart; realistically reconstructed extinct animals with current scientific knowledge plus your own creative freedom. Some creatures have skin impressions or feathers so check on that as well as looking at what paleoartists have done, as well and close relatives if the one you are trying to depict is only known from fragmentary remains. It would be more of a challenge for you but you may find it very rewarding! Regardless keep up the excellent work!

You wouldn't open a bottle of ink then compare with, say acrylic liquid, so why do this . . . confused?!
