I'm a watercolour artist and feeling board a few weeks ago I picked up my pencils which was a Christmas gift, well blow me down I'm loving them , I've produced three paintings which I could never do with just water colour alone, I love your splatter demo I'll be giving that a go, so thank you x ☺
This was the best video I've seen for watercolor pencils. Thank you for sharing. Helped a lot.
Thank you for this!!! We're using your videos for our homeschool (Water Colour Pencil lessons) and they're of great help! Beginners here. And oh, your artworks are amazing! So easy to understand and follow.

Love the grass and the fur. Thanks for showing.
You may not see this, but I just had to comment that I am finding "new" treasures on your channel daily. I have only worked in watercolor, but so many were banging on about Derwent Graphitint water soluble pencils, I treated myself and gave them a try. Since I know nothing about pencils, after I looked at some reviews/demos of the product, I checked out your channel and you did not disappoint! One of the videos you mentioned the difficulty of using a very fine brush for watercolor. I have a 3-0 I rarely use, and the pencils are a great alternative for animal hair. So, as you might say, cheers for that. Paul Hopkinson ("the Devon artist") does incredibly detailed animal paintings. He is great, but my personal preference is a more painterly approach. Anyhoo, to get the very fine lines he uses "two hairs and air", which is quite a laborious process.

I just started really playing with the watercolor pencils and charcoals, incorporating them into my watercolor paintings. I am from a mixed media background and now I am obsessed with watercolors which I had not really used for the last 30 years. My favorite trick is the daisy center, I am currently trying it out on a miniature sunflower painting I am doing to mount on a card. I'm doing it on 300 lb cold press and it is the size of a playing card (ATC). Thank you for all you do.

I like your way of describing what your doing. So many pages don't. When I went back to painting I used water colour pencils for the first time and they were great at getting me up and going . Now I'm pretty exclusively oils but occassionally I do a pencil sketch and paint it with wc pencils and outline with ink as a fun little project.

@@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber Thanks! After I asked the question I thought that that was a dumb question - pencil sharpener! But I have heard that these soft colors can ruin an electric sharpener and waste a lot of pigment. I am using Faber Castell Albrecht Durer Pencils, and have been "sharpening" them by hand with an Xacto knife. I have tried several hand sharpeners and thought you could recommend one.
Thanks Michelle,I will think to use my watercolour pencils more than I have been. One thing I do know, this is beyond basic but it is great to have an electric or battery sharpener. You waste much less pencil and get a really good point if you wish. You can buy a good battery sharpener for about $17 in Canada, so it will not break the bank. Regular pencil sharpeners screw up your pencils In my experience.
You are great 👍
