What is a watercolour pencil?

Watercolour pencils are a type of artist's pencil that can be used to create beautiful watercolour paintings. Watercolour pencils can be used dry or wet, depending on the desired effect.

Are watercolour pencils the same as coloured pencils?

Watercolour pencils are a unique form of art supply that offers an interesting twist on traditional coloured pencils. While watercolour pencils look and feel similar to coloured pencils, the two are not interchangeable. Watercolour pencils are water-soluble, which means that their colour can be activated after applying water.

What are the benefits of using watercolour pencils?

Watercolour pencils offer an artist a variety of creative possibilities. These mediums allow you to draw with fine detail and accuracy, while also allowing for watercolour washes. They are easy to use, as they come pre-sharpened like normal pencils; this makes them incredibly versatile and time efficient for both professional and amateur artists. The watercolour effects can be adjusted and regulated depending on the amount of water applied. With watercolour pencils, blending has never been easier or smoother - from light sketching to vibrant watercolour paintings, this medium offers a range of expressive possibilities.

What are some tips for using watercolour pencils?

Watercolour pencils offer unique benefits as they can be used both as traditional coloured pencils and watercolours. 

- A water brush is helpful for activating the pencil’s pigments

- Water should be filled in the water brush before it is used on the coloured area

- Multiple layers of pigment can be added for a darker colour

- Water can be added directly from a cup or palette

- Practice and experimentation are key to mastering the use of watercolour pencils

What are some things to avoid while using watercolour pencils?

Watercolour pencils are a great way to add some watercolour style to your artwork. However, there are a few things you'll want to keep in mind while using them. First, avoid blending watercolour pencils with water until you've finished shading and creating all the necessary details. Secondly, water will damage the edges of the watercolour pencil which can affect your line quality, so take care when adding water to those areas. Finally, because watercolour pencils contain less pigment concentration than traditional watercolours they may be prone to fading over time so use protective sealant or fixative before displaying your work. With these tips in mind, you'll have no problem creating beautiful artwork using watercolour pencils!

What makes watercolour pencils different?

Watercolour pencils are a unique type of art supply which combines the convenience and portability of coloured pencils with water-soluble paints. This artist tool offers a lot of versatility — watercolour pencils can be blended together, water can be added to make more watercolour effects, or they can just be used as regular coloured pencils. 

What art supplies will I need when using watercolour pencils?

- Have the right supplies for watercolour pencils, such as water, paper or canvas, brushes, erasers, white gel pens and masking fluid

- Having different types of brushes can give variety in painting techniques

With the right supplies, there is no limit to what you can create

What paper is best for watercolour pencils?

When it comes to watercolour pencils, one of the most important elements is paper. The surface that you use can have a major effect on the overall result of your watercolour pencil artwork. A good watercolour paper will generally be made from a 100% cotton rag and have a weight between 140-300 lbs with a textured surface specifically designed for watercolours.
