Here is a tip for sharpening watercolor (and regular colored pencils): rotate the SHARPENER AROUND the pencil-holding the pencil in one position, NOT rotating the pencil inside the sharpener. This helps keep the soft "leads" from breaking inside the wooden outer pencil.

@redenco 5 лет назад

OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS TIP 😊 🙏

@redenco 5 лет назад

Lol, I might be overreacting, but this tip really helped 👍

@stephanies3862 5 лет назад

Have you ever heard of using a blow dryer on the water colored pencils to make them harder to break when sharpening? Is this good to do?

@cloudy9427 5 лет назад

Sex,to me thats what it sounds like

@gorway7 5 лет назад

I've moved away from sharpeners for watercolour pencils, I find them too wasteful. The core is valuable colour but each time we put it in a sharpener, more than %50 of the cone we create goes in the bin. Unlike working with normal colour pencils, we don't always need a sharp point and in fact I prefer to side shade as it produces less retained pencil marks. We don't need to fill the divots and get rid of the white bits as we do in colour pencil. We get rid of them when we apply water. I sharpen watercolour pencils with a sharp knife (Scalpel with a standard 10A blade) and only par back the wood to expose core. Rotating the pencil as I side shade, retains a point naturally without any waste and gives me more exposed core for picking up colour with a wet brush when needed. This more bullet shaped tip I find more versatile, giving me smoother laydown, less frequent need to sharpen and sufficient point when I need it. Since I stopped using a sharpener about 5 years ago, I have found my watercolour pencils last way longer and I get virtually no breakage.

@claymoma 5 лет назад

for pencils that keep breaking on you, throw them into a microwave for about 10 to 12 seconds. It melts the inner core some what so they don't break so much. It does work so give it a try!!!

@kittenmimi5326 5 лет назад

Wow, never heard of that tip before. Interesting! Will try soon, hope it will work (and I hope I won't burn down my house)

@candyncakes7893 5 лет назад

Kitten Mimi did u try it? If so,did it work?

@kittenmimi5326 5 лет назад

@@candyncakes7893 I tried it, but only for about 5 seconds or so, not any longer (I am still afraid of it catching on fire) and it does get nice and soft, it doesn't break at much and it was a lot more pleasant to color with! But if you have extra time you can also leave them out for a while in the sun (if you are like me and afraid of burning something)

@gianpinheirodepaula9253 5 лет назад

Does that work for non-water color pencils?

@claymoma 5 лет назад

@@gianpinheirodepaula9253 I have never tried this on water color pencils but maybe it will work. I have only tried this on my prisma pencils, Marco Raffine' and Faber Castel's. 10-12 seconds is enough to melt the cores so that it mends a crack. And yes, it really works!!

OMG, i am facepalming myself so hard right now. I always loved the idea of watercolorpencils and i own more than i could justify (especially 'cause i didn't use them), but i could never make them work and did not understand why I would use a watercolor pencil when i could use pans or tubes - all it did was smudging, looking muddy or pale/cheapish. I just never archieved a smooth transition from one color to the next. To be fair to myself - i looked up some tutorials but none of them said to work from light to dark (or i just didn't catch it?!). I just colored it in very rough, did not care to work in circles or from light to dark. Well - i tried it your way a few minutes ago and this tip is as much a life saver as it is a reason to gringe at myself. THANK YOU ALICE! Now i get it and maybe I could enjoy my wc pencils more once inktober is over. :D

Thanks so much for this. I used to study art in high school and worked with mixed medium - watercolor, pen, colored pencils, oil and acrylic, pencils. I hardly worked with watercolor, but once I started, I realized I liked working with it more than oil and acrylic. Fell off the wagon after I graduated and picked up writing stories - which I love to no end - but I want to pick back up watercolor/pen/colored pencil drawings.

@TheLakingc 2 года назад

Thank you! Regarding Derwent, the pencils i have, are not really water color but a dye. It is set once dry. Very specialized...at least the ones i have. They are very intense, which i love in some of my work, but it is not for everyone or every picture. There are watercolor paints like that, too. We find over time what our own style is and which media assists us in our expression. I have fun mixing them, as you did here. For me, i love the explosions of colors that watercolor offers. I think it is so exciting to just see them bloom. When dry, they look different ant then I decide how to use them for a picture. It is like reading clouds, i guess. I use larger pieces and if i do not like the picture, i cut the large piece into 4x5s and look again! It can be very interesting what happens, so never throw a painting away. Use the cards asbackgfounds for greeting cards.

You are a born teacher! I found your video doing a random search about watercolor pencils, and discovered a jewel - you. I'm just starting to papercraft and stamp and discovered that colored pencils m8ght be more "me" than markers, etc. I'm 70 and found your video sooooo informative. Thank you, Alice, for sharing

What is inktober?

@doodlebirdy9175 5 лет назад

@@myapinion7532 inktober is a month long drawing challenge to draw every day in October! The original challenge is to use ink, but many artists are doing a medium they want to practice. It's a personal challenge that is definitely time consuming, but worth it!

@myapinion7532 5 лет назад

@@doodlebirdy9175 hi, thank you for explaining that, sounds good, especially as there are so many fantastic things around in October to draw. I'm loving all the leaves that are lying everywhere, and all the colours. I'd like to try drawing them with coloured charcoal pencils. Gonna treat myself!

Thank you for this video. Because next Monday is Thanksgiving here in Canada, I've been using my watercolour pencils to color various kinds on squash to celebrate the occasion. The coloring didn't look right - thanks to your video, I realized I was blending my colors in the wrong order. Good thing my piece is dry, I am going to re-color using your advice.
