In this video I used M. Graham tube watercolors, made with honey, and Silver Black Velvet brushes, sent to me by Darvoid a while ago (thank you again!). Also I used Prismacolor colored pencils, and Strathmore cold press watercolor paper. In the past I've used much more expensive Arches paper, but I couldn't find it for this video. However, the cheaper Strathmore paper seemed to work absolutely fine.
I got the cool water cup from the NC Museum of Art in Raleigh, NC.

Every painting has an "ugly" stage, more so that other mediums. IMO the difference between beginning artists and experienced ones is pushing past that stage, adding more contrast and form until it's no longer flat and boring. That's my favorite thing about art, the transformation 😊

@lifeimitatingdeath3608 Год назад

Is anyone else completely transfixed by that green bar in the back thats jumping to the sounds of Peter?

@Nilliebug14 Год назад

Absolutely in love with the outcome!!! I’d love more watercolour/colour pencil videos if you’re happy making them!

@Tobazhniazhi Год назад

Yes, having just enough perfectionism to ensure top quality work, but not so much as to create reluctance, thinking it won't be good enough. But when you engage long enough with the work then the precious flow creates a perfect work of art

@ryanrobertson5587 Год назад

Sipping the water out of the water pen really got me

@bleachedout805 Год назад

That's beautiful. It's art that quiets my brain just looking at.

@darvoid66 Год назад

I love Zorp in the summertime.

@teplin Год назад

Haha. Be careful doing this with morning coffee. I always confuse my watercolor water with coffee. Dipping my brush in coffee, sipping the water color water.

@arsnel366 Год назад

One of my favorite paintings from you was your first watercolor! I got a HUGE print of it hanging in my hallway and it’s been there for about 4 years

@nancy9704 Год назад

I completely understand what you're talking about when you say you don't want to pressure yourself to create a piece of art. Just relaxing and creating is the fun. Love your personality and artwork!

@MummyBrown Год назад

Watercolor and colored pencils are the perfect marriage. Another great way to blend wax pencils with watercolor is to use Alcohol (on a cotton swab or another paintbrush), or those colorless blenders that always come with alcohol markers. I've even used Gamsol, that gives it a little bit of a "painterly" edge to it. * If you do these blending techniques be sure that you use 100% cotton paper or it's a bust. Your paper will mos def nope out on anything less.

@sunnycharacter Год назад

100%! Do what Mummy says!

I like you man, and I like your commentary. I can find myself in it. And watching you create stuff and listening to your voice calms me🙃

@PetervanderPalm Год назад

I've had the first time in my life for a few months now that I'm lacking any inspiration to make anything at all. After seeing your video I see something more clear that I just have to start and see where I end up. Thank you for that. Peter Palm.

@marie_es Год назад

You're my biggest inspiration Peter, thank you

@adumelial Год назад

Oh wow....lols? Peter, I get hiccups when I am excited about something. I almost felt them coming upon me when you opened and showed your colored pencils (I have the same set). AND THEN, I just knew here it comes, the hiccups feeling!? Because then, you said you were going to water color!? It's my favorite art medium, next to pottery thrown clay - that can be dried, pre-fired, painted, and then fired in a kiln. That medium you will love in your new classes I think I recall you sharing. No hiccups though? BUT, you made a beautiful piece of water colored and pencil art. And that made me smile! 😃

@parkametrist7165 Год назад

Because you're used to working with black ink your proces is different. With watercolors and colorpencils you have to layer. That's why your drawing starts to look better after you struggle through the first (patchy) fase.

@lizachka1482 Год назад

OMGGGG YES MORE OF THIS PLEASE. i love all the art you do. it's just that color is like a whole other dimension. it's also fun to change things around sometimes. do whatever ofc, but i'm looking forward to future colorful stuff too!!! i like how you experiment and just go freely.

@stevensanta5716 Год назад

Never stop drawing Peter!

@joeblankenship377 Год назад

Unexpected masterpieces like to show up on dry erase boards.

@koskey06 Год назад

I got into watercolor like a year ago....my first live is ink but I'm not artist with either lol. But messing with watercolor here and there has been so much fun!! The way it moves on wet watercolor paper is just awesome. Complete opposite of how ink is a hard, solid mark.....

@joeblankenship377 Год назад

Man, Darvoid hooked you up on the watercolors!

@darvoid66 Год назад

He inspired me to do art. It's the least I could do.

@Halweenmaster Год назад

Nice drawing as always Peter! You did before a drawing using watercolor and ink and it was 👌

@artyfartyannie Год назад

So cool! I love using coloured pencils with watercolour paint and gouache :)

@linesofexpression2566 Год назад

LOVE the voice over with the speedpaint. i want to be like you when i grow up.

@Bluebirdray Год назад

Love it has a botanical look to it.

@about80crickets Год назад

I tried this out earlier this year: acrylic paint (diluted & used like watercolor), color pencil, and pigma micron. Turned out much better than I'd anticipated. I also tried acrylic paint and grease pencil, which was equal parts fascinating and frustrating. Wanted to experiment more with diluted acrylic and other media like pastel and ballpoint pen.

@emilyG59 Год назад

This video came exactly when I needed it. I feel motivated to be creative so ima make some art now. Thanks ✨

@TheScreamingFrog916 Год назад

@jenny7901 Год назад

I know what you mean. I got back into drawing this year after discovering Peter's channel.

@AnnieNoodle Год назад

This turned out beautifully! I love watercolor and colored pencils together. I often feellike I like my pieces the best when I'm not too concerned about what the end product looks like. It's easier to do that in my sketcbooks, much harder on a taped down piece of fancy paper! Thanks for the video, have a great weekend, Peter!

if you haven't tried them before I recommend acrylic ink, you get some really vivid colors with them and they are used like watercolors

@juicytulipboutiqueandartis8051 Год назад

So fun fact, they actually have colored pencils that ARE watercolors. You can draw with them and then add water to them as you like

My favorite watercolour pencils are the Derwent Inktense, but I recently bought the Derwent Inktense Blocks and they are amazing and so satisfying, well worth trying, Peter, for intense colour activated with water 👍

@JNDS.Creates Год назад

My two favourite mediums!

@stephanie.kilgast Год назад

Most of my artworks go through an atrocious phase until I push through and make them work. It’s really the fun part though :) I think this is looking really interesting, candy-like somehow. Watercolor and colored pencils work great together, now you can also add ink drawing to the mix ^^

@TheScreamingFrog916 Год назад

Peter, I'm so glad I found you on RU-vid a few years ago. I dabble with art, and I get a lot of joy, and inspiration, from watching your videos. Thanks so much for doing what you do, and best wishes for your continued success. I love the Pentel brand of water filled brushes. Having the water come out of the brush continuously, instead of having to dip for it, is a game changer. I have not tried combining water color, with oil based colored pencils yet. Will give that a try. Also will try glazing water color, over water color pencil.

@kiwimiwi5452 Год назад

I'm just really glad you didn't painfully misuse the poor paint. I saw you show the M. Graham paints and the silver black velvet brushes, both really expensive, and got scared you'd use them all weird or ruin the brush or something No hate towards Rae, but Super Rae Dizzle always grinds my gears when she uses watercolor/shows swatches because they are always so weird and ugly, she seems to have no grasp on what the paints even are, she either uses them too thic or to thin, always on the wrong paper also you did great! My watercolor artist heart is overjoyed

@mjpete27 Год назад

Hullo Peter! I have used watercolor and color pencils together for years! I would make a recommendation? Always use 2 cups of water! One will be used for rinsing of your brushes and the other for bringing fresh water into your colors! I know M.Graham is a professional grade paint. I prefer to use DaVinci of California Paints! Their paints and I wish to say ALL their paints are professional grade! I have used many brands over the years and I have become just completely enamored of this companies paints! I have been painting watercolor paintings since I was 10 years old. So I have used several brands of paints. I simply don’t believe that you can do better than DaVinci ! I enjoyed watching your video and seeing your painting or multi media artwork! Thank you for sharing and just keep creating your artwork in any and every way you wish!

@TheScreamingFrog916 Год назад

Thanks for the tip. I'll have to try those out. I see they are made right here, in my home state of California. Using W&Newton from tubes now, and they are pretty good, but always interested in trying something new.

I really like Prismacolor and watercolours. I’m not a watercolour paint kinda person, but I think they’re a pretty decent combo. I’m sending out this comment at the beginning of your video, and I’m 💯 percent sure you’ll do so much more awesomeness than most anything I’ve previously seen! I LOVE your videos! One thing I like about Prismacolor pencils is they don’t 😷stink 😷 as bad as many others do!!

@peter_draws Год назад

I don’t think I’ve found any of those stinky pencils!

@Mrs.LadeyBug Год назад

@@peter_draws I find some colours of Polychromos to stink, but not all of them. I love the pencils, but my nose has its own opinions! I’ve watched enough of your vids to know you understand. It was watching a reaction to you smelling a pen that first lured me into the wonderful world of Peter Draws because I thought “I’m not alone!!!!”

@goopumz Год назад

watercolor does not dry fast out of the tube (pans can take days to dry) and panned watercolors are not inherently worse than tubed watercolors. ik you're new with the medium but misinformation is never good. hope you stick with them though I do love how watercolors feel and look. theyre my favorite painting media rn
