Have you ever used Water Soluble Graphite as a tool to improve your watercolor? If not, check out this video. I demonstrate how to use a Faber Castell 4B water soluble graphite pencil to create a value study of your subject. You can paint along with this tutorial to see how I did it. #watersoluble #graphite #valuestudy
In this video I demonstrate in detail how to use water soluble graphite pencils to create three value studies: a cube, a sphere and a book. Learning to create an accurate value study is an important tool in the water color artist's toolkit.
I have a playlist containing other value study tutorials. Check this out at:
• Watercolor Value Studies
This is a great exercise for beginners to water color. Have fun!!

Thanks so much for posting this... I have been looking for a good video of a value study using just a black water soluble graphite pencil! This video was very helpful, so thank you!

These and the Pitt Graphite Matt, are the best wooden pencils I've ever used for sketching/drawing! The tips you provide here,are spot on! Good job!

Have you tried Mars lumogrsph ? They are darker and good for creating shadow areas and darker values or just draw with them

I don't sketch with the 4b water soluble graphite pencil, but with the hb. The hb is so pale that when it gets watered, it's almost white as the paper. I do not have the 4b water soluble graphite of faber castell, but I have the hb, 2b, 6b and 8b. I still have a lot to learn with this medium though. I'll use my hb water soluble pencil in my next acrylic paints projects (acrylic paint is water based so the pencils will just erase itself). I just learnt about dipping the pencil in the water. I never knew that I could do that with water soluble pencils.

Value is a great subject to address in a video with watercolor. This subject is something that I feel is neglected, and RU-vid videos. However, there is one problem with the video. Do you split the screen with the value study of the dog on the left and your pallet on the right. What we really need is for you to have the photograph of the dog on the right instead of your pallet. There is no need for us to see the color as you’re only using one color. But I found myself really wishing that I could compare the value study you were painting to the actual photograph during to the whole video.

Hi can we then paint watercolour paint over this?

@KrisDeBruineStudio Год назад

Hi Sara. I tend to use the water soluble graphite only for value studies, as demonstrated in the video, so I don't usually add color. Since the graphite is water soluble, you run the risk of "moving" the graphite (i.e. smearing or lifting) when you re-wet it and paint over it. You might not get the results you desire. However the best way to learn, is to try it. I would recommend doing some tests before you try it on a finished drawing. Have fun and keep on painting!!

Not a good idea dipping pencil on water
