Watercolor pencils are everywhere. But tutorials are scarce, and few artists seem to use them. Here are 5 reasons why that might be (and why you should definitely try them out!).

Will you try watercolor pencils? If you need my help and guidance, check out all classes and tutorials on my website: www.paintingandchocolate.com/

I LOVE MY WATERCOLOR PENCILS! I especially love Derwent’s Inktense watercolour pencils! The colors are brilliant and durable. They are also very portable. I just take a few and a waterbrush out to sketch.

@incognitoedc 25 дней назад

I am a beginner with watercolor, and after a lot of research, started my watercolor journey with a 48 set of Goldfaber Aqua watercolor pencils combined with about a dozen Albrecht Durer watercolor pencils. I chose to start my journey with the pencils mainly because the mess involved with watercolor pans and palettes is a huge turnoff for me. I prefer being able to clean my plastic pallete when done with a piece and with the pencils can see what color I need easily. Because I am a senior on a fixed budget, cost is a huge factor. Your reasoning about watercolor pencils is spot on with my experience so far!!! And as a result, I don't expect to be making changes to my medium selection anytime soon. Great video!

@paintingandchocolate 25 дней назад

I'm glad this resonated, thank you for sharing about your journey 🙂

@PaulaScardamalia Месяц назад

I love the flexibility of watercolor pencils, and that you've shown so many ways to use them. Like any other media, they take practice and getting to know them. I've used them in the Strathmore MultiMedia Sketchbook when traveling and they are so convenient, especially for plein air.

@paintingandchocolate Месяц назад

Hi Paula, I've been looking at this Strathmore sketchbook for years, it seems you enjoy it. Maybe I'll get to try it sometime 🙂

@@paintingandchocolate I love the soft cover 500 series. In fact, I did your autumn leaf watercolor pencil tutorial in it, and it turned out beautifully.

@user-dz7sq2um8d Месяц назад

Thank you for championing WCP's! I have full sets of a few major brands and used them for years, although not so much now. But yes, you can definitely do full, complex paintings with them, and I have done. Two tips that might be helpful for your viewers: 1. To save money, a cheap small white plastic cutting board from the dollar store is textured just like the more expensive brand WCP palette and works just fine and is great for a travel kit, and 2. To avoid weakening the wood collar (where the "lead" comes out) by getting it wet, I put a clear drop of water on my plastic palette or even a junk credit card and quickly dip the color "lead" into that drop of water, which will soften the pigment without risking getting the collar wet. A single drop of water will last a long time.

@paintingandchocolate Месяц назад

Thank you so much for these really helpful tips ❤️

Love my pencils and I learned all about them by watching your channel. I’ve watched other artists use them also, but really… they have no clue!!! Thank you for your clear and concise instructions. As an oil artist (painter) this whole concept of water was foreign and frustrating… until I binge watched your videos.

@paintingandchocolate Месяц назад

Thank you for letting me know, I knew I was not alone is finding it tough to transition to using water 🙂

@gglydie4242 26 дней назад

I use watercolour pencils for my compact handbag size sketchbooking kit. The primary colours, plus a white and a black, and a water brush pen, and one black marker (waterproof). It's perfect and I love the blendy loose combo of colours I can create with this kit. I'm not concerned about being precise or true to life in my sketchbook, so this works well for my little 'go everywhere with me' kit.

@paintingandchocolate 26 дней назад

@cjayconrod Месяц назад

Thank you for all the tutorials you've done! There was hardly anything beside swatching videos on RU-vid before you started.

@paintingandchocolate Месяц назад

Thank you, I must admit I was frustrated not to find much either, to justify all the nice sets of watercolor pencils being sold out there.

@redgreenvulture Месяц назад

That has definitely been my experience too! You have by far the most comprehensive and helpful watercolor pencil videos. So many others are just artists swatching them out for the first time, which is fine for them to do, of course, but we don’t really learn much about really using them from those videos.

@Laymans-terms Месяц назад

Love them. Ever since trying them months ago, I've barely touched regular watercolours. So much more accurate, and then like you say, less water, one container of water, less mess, I use a brush to activate them. I've used them in locations where they'd never allow regular watercolour. I tried an experiment the other day, I coloured the "painting", and then used a spray bottle and misted it, everything popped instantly.

@paintingandchocolate Месяц назад

Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience with them I appreciate it!

@karinpost9176 17 дней назад

I am a total beginner with watercolors but mixed media is my passion. You have inspired me to try again with watercolor pencils the way they were intended. I can’t draw but I have always wanted to dabble decently with watercolors. I keep giving up.

@paintingandchocolate 17 дней назад

I'm glad this helps. It's tempting to give up in the beginning, I hope you keep going🙂

@PaintWithPencil Месяц назад

I love water soluble pencils. So many ways to use them. My favorite surface is a watercolor canvas panel. The slightly rougher and less absorbant surface forces a more imprssionistic look (which I like) and the panel never buckles.

@paintingandchocolate Месяц назад

Interesting! Thank you for sharing!

@Hevkk1 Месяц назад

This was perfect for me. I am more used to coloured pencils and frustrated with the mess I get into with watercolour. I have a lovely set of watercolour pencils and you have inspired me to try again. The added bonus is I travel a lot in a small campervan so the pencils would be so much more practical than paint tubes or pans. Thank you so much ❤

@paintingandchocolate Месяц назад

I am so happy to hear this, it sounds they will be perfect for you to get started 👍😀

@nolacarr2293 22 дня назад

I travel in a camper van too. Went from East Coast Canada to New Mexico and back at Christmas time and took my travel pallet of watercolours and two 12 packs watercolour pencils with me. I found I used the pencils a lot more than the paints in my travel journal.

@roadwarrior2348 24 дня назад

Watercolour pencils are awesome... its just a matter of knowing how to use them, There are differing ways to use them which makes them versatile. I love using them along with regular water colour paint. Good tutorial 👍

@paintingandchocolate 24 дня назад

I agree they're fun 🙂

@aleidadiaz2261 Месяц назад

The thing that I don’t like is when you see the lines where you’ve colored when you apply the water. I’ve learned to not use too much pressure and color in small circles and add more layers to get darker colors.

@oilonpaper Месяц назад

For anyone reading this with the same problem: the quality of watercolor pencil also plays a role! I have a set of cheap watercolor pencils where the lines are very visible. With Faber Castell's Albrecht Dürer I have no such problems. Just an additional tip to what you wrote.

@paintingandchocolate Месяц назад

Yes it happens sometimes, the paper type also helps and layering too.

Thank you for this video. I have several sets of water- and colored pencils. I can count on one hand the times I've sat down to use them. What I drew turned out better than I expected but I admit, I didn't activate them with water. I recently got the small set of Inktense and made one small painting. The drawing wasn't great but I love the high pigmented color. I'm pretty sure I'll be trying all the watercolor pencils soon. I want to come up with some designs for Christmas cards. It's an assignment I'm giving myself remembering back to a calligraphy class where we were tasked to come up with a Christmas card to donate to a local Senior Center's Giving Tree. I spent eight hours immersed in just doodling with a Hunt nib and several ink colors. I produced five cards and found a favorite color ink. So, that was a great day of practice disguised as play. Seems I have to trick myself into creative time in order to explore. Thanks again. ❤

Thank you - I love that you champion watercolour pencils! I love them, I use Caran d'ache Museums with a few Inktense for landscapes to get the earthy greens. I first learnt about them as a coloured pencil background, but they were so lovely have gradually built up my collection. I do loads more watercolour now than coloured pencil, and WC pencils are much in use for small areas. I have yet to embark on an entire piece with them. I love this one you have done. 🥰

@paintingandchocolate 20 дней назад

Thank you! I understand, maybe try them for misty autumn scenes and this should make it better. What I do for other subjects is add regular watercolor pencils to the palette, especially for bright yellows, reds and oranges as these are missing with the graphitint! On my website in the Patreon tutorials section, watercolor pencils, you will see a buoy I created with both graphitint and FC Albrecht Dürer pencils to solve the problem. It worked very well! Hope this helps!

older artist here. im a painter and a mixed media fiber artist, and i have had over the years so many watercolour pencil sets. my collection is a mix of many different companies and they live in the derwent box which was the last set i bought, for the box. if you dont want to worry about dragging water to use the water brush pens are good. i have had fun doing the edge of an outline then use water to blend the colour towards the middle

Watercolor pencils easily create tons of texture. It is useful to combine them with watercolor. And, that is their main drawback. It is magical to see them bloom when wetted.

@lindsayface4750 16 дней назад

I initially used WC pencils as my intro to WC! Honestly, my favorite pieces were all done with them. I’ve recently been using traditional paints because I wanted to learn how to use them, but more and more, I’m missing my pencils. I think I’m going to start doing mixed pieces so that I can incorporate both! I struggle to very small brushes due to a medical condition, and using a WC pencil makes it so much easier to do the small, intricate details in things.

@paintingandchocolate 16 дней назад

I'm glad you like them too! Also try the water-soluble graphite pencils if you get a chance.

@yoannadragostinov4472 День назад

Excellent explanation, thank you so much! I will definitely try watercolour pencils. It's good to know the choice of paper is not so important as with normal watercolour, but which paper would you recommend?

@paintingandchocolate 53 минуты назад

A paper that has some tooth but still smooth enough that there will be minimal marks left. Watercolor or drawing,.thick enough to handle some water. 270gsm minimum is great!

@alicechampagne7091 23 дня назад

I will be taking mine out again. Thanks for the inspiration! One thing I have never found out and maybe you can enlighten me is how you sharpen your watercolor pencils.

@paintingandchocolate 23 дня назад

You're welcome ! I use an old fashioned metal sharpener, the simplest one that has been around for decades in schools and stores. Sometimes this or that sharpener will work better for you depending on the pencil too! Softer leads do better with certain sharpeners otherwise they break (usually for me i avoid plastic sharpener with these or fancy sharpeners, I use the metal basic one).

@alicechampagne7091 23 дня назад

Thank YOU!

Une autre utilisation est sur du coton....Avec les inktenses comme les Derwent, c'est génial aussi mais utiliser de l'aloes pour bloquer les 'saignements' sur le tissus.

Comme je fais de la courtepointe, j'adore en autant que l'on ne lave pas trop souvent la pièce j'imagine.

I have a large set of Faber Castell watercolour pencils and that palette you use in the video. Is there a difference between brands of watercolour pencils?

To use the palette no. But in general yes as cheaper types of WC will feel more dry, break more easily, be less pigmented.

If you wet a painting again and do some back and forth with a brush it will most likely lift a bit so no it's not.
