How to make handmade watercolor for yourself -quick & easy- from pastels, pencils, charcoal, mica pigment powders / dry media! Featuring Arteza art supplies and 100% cotton watercolor paper. - show more for supply list-
Get creative and try what you have on hand, but remember that really waxy color pencils are less suitable for grinding into powder on a nail file/sandpaper than charcoal, chalk pastels, graphite or watercolor pencils. Mica and other pigments in powder form are ideal for making larger quantities of paint, but a tiny shaving from a pencil may be all you need for a single painting session! I was not paid for this review. All product opinions and usage ideas are my own. Happy painting :)
