One of the MANY ways to use watercolor pencils wet with adult coloring books or any light paper. Use as little water as possible to avoid damaging the paper. Watercolor also works up VERY fast compared to colored pencil. So if you find color pencil slow you may like watercolor pencil instead.

The watercolor pencils I used in this video are the Faber-Castell Albrecht Dürer Watercolor Pencils

The rigger brush is used to make the rigging on the painting of a ship (rigging consists of ropes of many did different thicknesses.) it's usually a long, very slender, slightly stiff (to hold the shape of the "line") and it will hold a lot of paint in order for there not to be any breaks in the "line". If you color some black or blue watercolor pencil on some slightly textured plastic packaging (make shift pallette) and then wet this brush and then mix it withe the scribbled pencil you will load enough pigment to be able to make some lovely smooth, consistent lines. -- Hope this helped.

@GINACENTRAL 8 лет назад

Just a heads up I use the water brush all the time with no problems of excess water. I don't squeeze them on the paper. I use the squeeze to rinse excess on a paper towel especially if changing color. The actual brush stays a little damp then and blends your colors well with out excess water. I have more control. I think the key is how you use it. Of course everyone is different just thought I share that so you can maybe try again.

@juliewarrington1414 Год назад

Great video thank you. Just bought some water colour pencils to use with adult colouring books and hadn’t a clue where to start until I watched this.

@MonaMoon80 8 лет назад

Thanks for the video. I really want to try this with my adult color books now. I like how it blends the colors so nicely.

@joannphillips8586 6 лет назад

This is the most helpful watercolor pencil video I’ve seen anywhere. I tried using my pencils before on a flower drawing I did, and I used too much and ruined the whole thing. Your demonstration with the correct brushes and small amounts of water here is invaluable to me!

@TosaNewsense 6 лет назад

I like a flat brush for turning on its skinny side and creating skinny lines. It’s nice to load up with a bunch of color and use it to draw straight lines, or stamp out a texture with lots of short lines

@ColoringKaria 6 лет назад

That is a great idea!

@MissStitchery 7 лет назад

Thanks for a lovely thoughtful video. I really want to "paint" my colouring books to get a bit more depth of colour and texture, this looks like the perfect way to do it. I'm pretty heavy handed so love your less is more approach, off to order supplies now!

@55Cyndi 8 лет назад

Great video! Thank you. I have the Fabre-castell polychromas on my wish list. For now I am using Windsor & Newton Cotman watercolours. Today I used a pen tip as opposed to a small round tip brush and I was amazed at how much more control I had putting the colour down into those tiny spaces. I am working on the Secret Garden book too. I'm looking forward to trying the pencils so that I can layer different colours into the design.

@ColoringKaria 8 лет назад

Thank you so much for watching. Yes the cotman are on my wishlist as well!

@elisatasko6135 8 лет назад

Thanks, this is awesome! I wanted to try a new way to color in my secret garden book. So far I have only used my colored pencils but I LOVE the look of watercolors so I've been wanting to try but not sure it would work. So this is super helpful! Now I need some watercolor pencils!

@ColoringKaria 8 лет назад

I'm glad my video helped! I have several more videos on using watercolor with coloring books.

@shirleyeaton4201 8 лет назад

I noticed that when using the barrel ed you squeezed out the water, I was shown that you only have to squeeze the barrel once to release the water, which I have done, then the brush stays moist throughout while using😀

@chriswolfe7830 8 лет назад

Thank you for posting Karia!

@juditharowland3461 8 лет назад

The Pentel waterbrush is great for many things.......but. When working on different papers, other than artist grade, you do not push down. Once the brush is wet the first time, that's it. Wipe it gently between colors on paper towel or a dedicated regular towel....... unless you are doing actual watercolor painting, when you use it like a watercolor brush. Do not squeeze........barely touch the brush to your piece after laying in the pencil and you'll find that it will work. If it doesn't, the result is usually due to a heavy hand. Please see, "The Mind of Watercolor," Adult Coloring book segment and what you'll be able to achieve with a bit of practice.

@ColoringKaria 8 лет назад

+Judith A Rowland Thank you so much for watching! Its funny because I did my video about 2 months before he did his. I have tried different things and even spent money buying smaller sizes of waterbrushes, but they just are not for me. I have tried the method you mention and other methods. but i just dont like the lack of control, I love the regular brushes and i know that the waterpens let you travel without a waterpot but i like having the control with the regular paint brushes and often switch between sizes to get the effects i want. water pens dont give me the amount of water i want when i want and i dont like not being able to choose between different degrees of water. One of my new friends who has a great artist loves them and doesnt mind the things i mind, but they are really not for everyone. but i didnt want the fact that i personally dont like them to prevent me from talking to people about them.

@catherinehascake9173 8 лет назад

yes, the color chart is sooo important. Time consuming to make, but totally worth it in the end. I find round brush most useful with watercolor. I prefer filber over flat brush, and I only use them on filling large area or background. I'm not a big fan of those water brushes either. It could be convenient when you're out drawing watercolor, but for me cleaning the brush tip before dipping it in another color becomes a problem... Great video, I enjoyed watching!

@ColoringKaria 8 лет назад

+Catherine OAO thank you so much! I really am having a hard time find the "perfect" brush! i feel like they either cost $100 each or they dont seem good, I understand why some cost $100 each but i just dont need that for adult coloring book. so i just "make do". I havent tried a filber but i will. I find the flat to be not useful for coloring books or stamping, its just not often we are filling in those large large spaces. Yes the chart took like 3+ hours to make but it is soo worth it. I thought about doing a video just on making the chart but seemed like a boring idea.

+theHookdude west thank you so much for watching. Let me know if you have any questions!

@Artistmom2011 8 лет назад

your sable brushes will hold a lot of water within the bristles so that you do not have to keep having to dip into the water, but they do not 'let go ' of the water at once like the water pen.... even with the small tip brushes. The teeny brushes are for lining and detailing when painting. Such as adding tiny lines, or dots, or tiny lettering or tiny branches on trees etc. ( the very tiny brushes, smaller than what you have on here)

Hi, as an add on to what I wrote below, I have the large set of Derwent Inktense pencils and they are WONDERFUL! and you don't have to hit everything with water because they are amazing pencils in their own right without water, it's just that the water makes the colors POP!

@ColoringKaria 8 лет назад

Thanks! They are on my list of things to review.

@ripley275 8 лет назад

great job Karia, might want to look into a water pen that cannot be refilled, gives you mucho control, has 2 ends, one BOLD tip like your pen you have and fine tip that is hard but wonderful for all the small spaces. This one is made by FINESSE-Colored Pencil Blender Pen. They last a long time, and I have another one that I had picked up from a scrapbooking store. When you feel the tip, it hardly feels wet but it works amazingly, as you know, you don't need a lot of water, just FYI, Blessings!

I use derwent brush and I don't squeeze at all . Water flows .. I think for these water brushes squeezing might not be a good idea

@ColoringKaria 8 лет назад

Yes. Some RU-vidrs squeeze and some don't. I don't like them either way. But that's a personal choice. :).

@heatherleisure9217 8 лет назад

+lotfang Same here. I don't need to squeeze the Derwent brushes unless I'm cleaning the brush or just putting some water in a travel palete. That Pentel waterbrush she has is too big for me, I usually stick to the #1 and #3 brushes ... love that little flat brush. But I still keep some ultrafine and oversized regular brushes. But the Derwent waterbrushes are amazing with Inktense pencils

@ColoringKaria 8 лет назад

+Nick M can I ask a question. What size watercolor paper are you using? I feel like the paper sizes for watercolor don't match up well with the paper sizes for adult coloring books.

@maryhildreth754 7 лет назад

I love your tutorials and am learning a lot from you. I recently got water color pencils and tried to color a night sky with them in a coloring book. It did not turn out well so I stopped and will come back to it later when I learn what I'm doing. Would you please do a tutorial on that? This book, "The Night Voyage" is going to have a lot of night sky and I have no idea how I am going to color it. Thanks for all the awesome information you already have up.

@heatherleisure9217 8 лет назад

This is a great vid and reminds me of something I've been meaning to ask around about ... in coloring books I sometimes like to use water-based blender markers instead of a paint brush or a waterbrush. I don't know if I'm supposed to be doing this or not but I find I get some rather extreme control and effortless ultrafine details with cheap water-based blender markers (these would be the Koi Coloring Brush Pen and Recollections double sided blender pen). Even the alcohol-based blender markers like Prismacolor and Winsor & Newton Brushmarker colorless have cool effects (though they do bleach the color a tad but sometimes that's exactly what I want). You have to be careful with the water-based markers because they will chew the paper up if you go over a spot too many times or press too hard. I've also been experimenting with the Inktense and some gamsol and blending stumps, with nice results

Thank you for this great video! It motivates me to use watercolour pencils also with my regular colouring books. I love the magic which happens in front of your eyes when the pigments get activated by water! I also have the Albrecht Duerer pencils and this cute little water cup. Regarding the water brush, i think that is a Pentel brush which you have and actually they are very well made. Usually it's not necessary to squeeze the brush. The water flows without squeezing. I use a small size brush which has a very fine tip and it works really fine. I love watercolour pencils so much that i'm looking for another set. Either the Mondeluz by Koh-I-Noor or the Aquarelle pencils from Lyra. Now i will have a look at your other videos. Happy colouring!

@ColoringKaria 8 лет назад

+Anja Meurer thank you so much for watching and commenting! I dont know what size i have and that might be part of the problem. I also think that while the continuous flow of water works ok for watercolor paper for this if feel like like because the paper is so thin, i want to use as little water as possible. BUT i do have a watercolor notebook so I will try it on that and see if thats a better fit. I LOVE the Faber Castell AD watercolor pencils. They are just great. but i do want to try other brands and they are on my to do list.

@amicamiabella 8 лет назад

+ColoringKaria Seems like you have a large size Pentel brush. The small one is much smaller! There is a medium one, too. The AD pencils are really wonderful! I buy them open stock and love to see my collection growing. The Derwent Inktense are nice, too!

@ColoringKaria 8 лет назад

Anja Meurer maybe I will see about getting the smaller one, this was the only one they had in the store. but I have amazon prime now so I can totally do this.

@nickm4041 8 лет назад

Forgot to mention, great videos! And yes watercolor is a difficult source for coloring books, the paper is thin too much water and color will bleed and warp. watercolor coloring is for extreme effects/shading / layers..

@ColoringKaria 8 лет назад

+Nick M thank you so much! the great news is that since I did this video we are getting more and more books on thicker paper. Most still can't handle a LOT of water but a few can handle small amounts. I'm surprised strathmore hasn't come out at least with something. I think their 400 series watercolor paper would be great for some adult coloring book pages. I'm hoping it's a mater of time because it's soooo much easier to use real watercolor paper.

@edenheaven5175 8 лет назад

It is the size of the brush you are using it looks like the large if you get the 3 set the small or medium will lay down less water.

@DoloresJRush 8 лет назад

Hi! I love my aqua brush because it holds just the right amount of water. The only time I squeeze water out of it is when I wipe off the pigment and squeeze the water out to rinse the color out. And I only use the very tip of the brush. Now, Bonnie Krebs of Art Impressions recommends a no. 4 round brush with artificial bristles. I see you have natural bristles. She recommends the artificial bristles because they bounce back quicker than the natural bristles and before she puts the paintbrush to the paper, she pinches off the bristles to get most of the water out. Have you tried the artificial bristles? Just curious to know what your take is between the natural and the artificial paintbrush bristles?

@nickm4041 8 лет назад

I forgot to mention the rigger brush is for laying down paint not really a brush for coloring in with, because it's long and thin, also watercolor paper is not easy to use for tracking, I get a blank and put it over Google images on flat pc screen turn up brightness and trace light with pencil then use watercolor to paint with..a light box works too but expensive

@bootsmama1027 7 лет назад

Size 6 and flat brushes are qgood for drawing with watercolor pencils. Rigger brushes are for making thin long lines. Water brushes are best for plain air(outside, on location painting.

@MamaTomasu 8 лет назад

Awesome tutorial. Dang it, Karia. I need to stop watching your vids, you're making me want so many art supplies! Haha. I never really thought I'd want watercolor pencils, I thought I had my mind made up with the Polychromos (I like rewatching your review, it's great), but now you're making me want these, too!

@ColoringKaria 8 лет назад

@strawberryfields1969 8 лет назад

I've seen some people that have backgrounds done with watercolor pencils that kind of have a tie dye look to them. I was wondering if you have seen pictures colored that way and what you think of them. I watched one tutorial that actually put the wet brush on the pencil. I am wondering if there are only certain brands of pencils you could do that with and would it compromise the use of the pencil for coloring thing in as you demonstrated here. Thanks so much for your EXTREMELY lovely and helpful videos!

@ColoringKaria 8 лет назад

+Cassandra Fisher Hello, thank you so much for checking out my video! So I haven't seen that effect, but watercolor pencil is extremely versatile and you can see 7 more ways to use water color pencils in this video. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5ePK8DFclrc.html You should totally be able to use the pencils as a palette by brushing the pencil with a wet brush but if you watch the other video or even just look at the thumbnail you can see that different usage methods will use different amounts of water and have a different intensity of color. Using the pencils as a wet palette looks like it would use a fair bit more water than what I show here so you would have to test your paper and see if it would work with coloring books. Or if you would need special watercolor pencil.

Try not squeezing at all! The water does trickle down a bit for damp brush rather than wet! Not perfect but it kinda works

Hi I bought a tin of Marte Monte watercolor pencils and don't have a name for each color, have you any tips on how I can make a sample page using the colors if they don't have a name

@ColoringKaria 8 лет назад

+Kris Harkin Hello, so I went to the website and could not find a list of color names. So what I would do, is to make the color chart and look at the names used by Derwent or Faber Castell and try to match the names to the best you can. That's what I would do anyway.

@kriskmh1 8 лет назад

that sounds like a good idea. thanks. Also do you have any tutorials that will help me color roses using watercolor pencils.

@ColoringKaria 8 лет назад

+Kris Harkin not yet but I can add that to the list. :)

@kriskmh1 8 лет назад

hopefully I will see it soon,

@reneefoster4567 8 лет назад

Did you create that chart yourself? I like that idea.

@ColoringKaria 8 лет назад

+Renee Muhammad No I downloaded the chart. I will add the link in the description. Polychromos 60color chart: justcolorin.com/free-faber-castell-polychromos-60-pencil-set-color-chart-print-color/

Do you think you could use watercolour pencils like normal pencils? like blending and everything I'd like to buy some but I'd like to use them for both when I do watercolouring and normal colouring but I can't afford to buy normal and watercolour pencils. So I'm just wondering :o

@ColoringKaria 8 лет назад

+brandyandwhiskerslol Yes I did a video on 7 ways to use watercolor pencils and using them as regular pencils is definitely one of the options. but they will still be slightly different, water color pencils are often softer, they can be more difficult to erase and you always have to keep it as far away from water as possible. this is my video the use of water color pencils as regular pencils is the first one. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5ePK8DFclrc.html

@brandyandwhiskerslol 8 лет назад

I just watched the video and wow I learned alot. I was thinking about buy faber castel watercolour pencils but where i live i doubt I'll find the bigger sets like 36 and 60 so I was looking on ebay and the ones in tins are like $30 for 36 while i found 48 colours in a cardboard box for the same price.. i was wondering if you would have any experience as if theres any difference between the two? like are the tin ones better quality? also this might be a stupid question but I live on an island so we have alooot of humidity here would that affect the coloured pages at all?

@ColoringKaria 8 лет назад

So i checked the faber castell website and they do not make any alberdurer sets in cardboard box or in a 48 size. there IS a faber castell RED and BLUE lines and those do i think come in different sizes and cardboard box but i dont know anything about them. those are childrens and student grade respectively.

@brandyandwhiskerslol 8 лет назад

Ahh I see I'm guessing the ones you have (alberdurer) are artist grade and more high quality then? thanks for taking the time to reply I appriciate it so much!

@brandyandwhiskerslol 8 лет назад

and yes the ones on ebay have red packaging (even the tins)

Very nice and informative video! Did I hear a cat purr around 10:00 in the Background?

@ColoringKaria 8 лет назад

+ElinT13 yes! That's Sir Stewart. He's a very loud purrer. He makes appearances in many videos. Usually begging for more food. 😹😹🐈

@ElinT13 8 лет назад

+ColoringKaria So cute! Please give him huggs from me here in Germany! And now I will explore the other videos on your channel (and not only because of Sir Stewart). Keep up the excellent work!

@deborahkohler5324 8 лет назад

maybe your squeezing to hard, as to why your getting to much water, i hold my water coloring brush down close to the brush its self. try again. i only squeeze when i want more water, then only away from my picture, after i have the brush as wet as i want i contiue painting. good luck.
