Creating watercolor paints with watercolor pencils
When you want to make watercolor paint, you may try with watercolor pencils(www.thewatercolorpencils.com). Watercolor pencils are convenient to use and can create great watercolor effects. They are also a great option for young artists.
You will find little differences from watercolor pencils from other normal pencils. But if you check carefully on them, you can find small symbols to indicate they are watercolor pencils. For some brand, you will see the word “watercolor” on them directly.
There are several ways to use watercolor pencils.When you just started with watercolor pencils, you first sketch with them as you would with regular pencils. Then you use a web brush to blend the sketch. Since the lines from the watercolor pencils are water soluble, the lines would turn to watercolor wash. There are also other ways to use watercolor pencils. Painting with clean water over your sketching is the easiest way for beginners. When you have been painting for a while, you can try wet the pencils and then draw with them, or wet the support paper and then start drawing with watercolor pencils. When you draw on a damped paper, you would get softer and broader lines of colors than if you draw on a dry paper.
There are various brands of watercolor pencils. You can try a sample before you buy a set as different brands may be different in softness.
