I have made these and other mistakes since I started learning to use watercolor pencils. One big mistake I made many times was to treat the watercolor pencils as regular pencils. For example, I would paint the whole piece and then wet it, instead of painting in layers, being patient, and using water to create effects. Thanks Michele, my watercolor skills have improved tremendously!!

Yes, I've done the same thing with my watercolour pencils. I had no idea that you can place the water on bare paper and then pull it into the pencilled area to create shading. Thank you Michele for such a brilliant tutorial. I'm definitely going to buy some better quality watercolour pencils!!! LOL 😄 My old ones were really cheap. Some of the colours are quite nice but I was amazed when you showed us the difference between good pencils and cheap ones. WOW! How much are the Derwent and Faber Castell watercolour pencils in British pounds. I live in Melbourne, Australia but I was born in England and I still know how to convert pounds to dollars, especially as the pound is worth almost exactly double the amount of the Australian dollar. Thanks again Michele. Love from Amanda in Melbourne

Thank you Michelle, it’s worth pointing out to those who are new to water soluble pencils that Derwent Inktense are a bit different to other watercolour pencils in that they are ink and once activated with water cannot be reactivated. This makes them good for layering with many other mark making materials which can go easily over the top. They can also be used on fabric. I really enjoy your channel and like to focus on how I can improve my art which is still very much at the start of the journey.

Inktense aren’t technically watercolors. Once they dry, you can’t reactivate. True watercolor pencils you can reactivate with water once dry. Minor difference but they really aren’t the same thing. May or may not matter depending on what you are doing with them.

Hi my name is Rita and I have made cards but never really know how to use watercolor pencils. I just used the tubes. This is totally different way. I hope you will have fun learning. I know I will

Thank you for such a usefull video, straigth to the important points. I would add: if using highly soluble ones like the Durer or the Museum, do not throw pigments away when you sharpen, transfer them into palette wells or pans instead, add a drop of water or two to make them stick to it; thus you have pigment pans you can use with all sorts of brushes, or dip pen if you favour this for details or text in assorted colors. The trick also worked with my inktense pencils (helps for backgrounds if you do not have the stick version of the colour) In other words, as far as Museum and Durer are concerned, you can combine watercolour and pencils with pencils only! But, as their washes tend to dry faster than "normal" watercolor ones, you must move fast if you want salted texture. And the Museum line is more pigmented, offering richer colors that way. (By the way, if you break a point, just put the piece into the pan; it wil take longer to dissolve, but you do not need to waste good pigments)

Stabilo Aquacolors are an excellent budget alternative! They measure up so well to Faber-Castell and Derwent (I don't actually like Derwent so much). The main difference is that the Stabilo Aquacolors probably aren't lightfast, which means they'll fade easier than the others. But again, as far as budget watercolors go, they're excellent and I highly recommend them.

Great video, thank you! Forgive me if you have already talked about this, but I am very new to water color painting so this was just something I kind of learned on my own as a beginner experimenting. I do not have professional grade pencils, nor can I afford them, so I make best with what I have. I have Arteza brand and they were about $40 on Amazon. I notice that the pigment lays down a little better if I wet the paper first and then I just layer to get my desired shade. It also helps with avoiding that heavy pressure on the paper that gives those harsh lines. Like I said, I am a beginner and don't know if this is an appropriate tech to use, but it works well for me.

I never use my watercolor pencils and I have a full set of Inktense and a 60 set of Albrecht Dürer. I’ve often wondered why I never reach for them and I think it’s because I bought both of them before I started painting. I thought they would be easier than watercolor but once I got my hands on some good tubes of paint I’ve never looked back. Honestly, I don’t see the need for them. I should gift them but aghhhhh! They were so expensive! This month I’ve been using supplies I don’t often use, oils, gouache, acrylic gouache, and yes, watercolor pencils. It’s been so much fun! I highly suggest switching things up when you start to feel uninspired or in a rut. USE THOSE SUPPLIES you have sitting around collecting dust. The only wasted products are the ones you never use.

Thanks so much. I have been gifts a complete set of Albecht Duer pencils. Your video has been needed appreciated guidance.

I'd like to point out that while Inktense (Derwent) is watersoluble, it isn't a watercolor pencil. Contrary to watercolor and watercolor pencils, once wetted with water and dried, becomes permanent which presents whole new possibilites for layering and for creating really deep and vivid colours. The permanence of the colour also provides the ability to use the pencils on fabric - even silk! However, since a once dried layer can not be redissolved*, mixing of colours demands for a slight difference in technique compaired to watercolour pencils. Not intended to deminise the video - I think it's great! - I just thought this might be viable info for those out there who are new to the world of watersoluble and watercolor pencils. Thanks for sharing and take care, stay safe, and stay 2 meters away! Cheers! * Unsure if that's the correct word - I'm not english and it's _very_ early in the morning...

Hi, yes I know. I forgot to mention it :-)

Honey you've got a wonderful channel going, but as a fellow youtuber, I have to tell you it's so overloaded with ads, that it may drive users away. Thank you for this wonderful lesson, it was really useful and I adore your thumbnails!

WC pencils with WC! I just did a landscape sketch, then used colored pencils to fill in but I was so annoyed how long it took. Completely understood your experience! Now I know to use my WC paint for background before using pencils. Great tip!!
