Seeing the versatile nature of these pencils, I've just treated myself to a 24 colour pack and am looking forward to discovering how they behave!! Thanks, Toby!😊

love you man

Interesting the idea to revisit different techniques as the flat brush... I kind of "forget" to use that one! Did I heard something like a paprika color🤔, I would like to ear more about this one please. Have a wonderful day

Thankyou, great ideas.

Thank you for sharing.

Thanks

I mean the last one W-O-W😀

Truly the most challenging for the control freaks like me😂

Hello:) I just came across your video:), as I was searching for granulating colors:) instantly subscribing and gonna watch more ❤❤ greetings from Prague:)

Hi Toby! Love how go with the flow this is.

Thanks for the tips. The wet on wet/color first is most scary but most exciting. I’m new to watercolor (<6 months) but still have had some fun (and success) with it. I kind of wanted you to leave the trees on the left alone and NOT put a 2nd layer of color. They was so soft and beautiful with just the first wash. Thanks for all the tips that have given the confidence to paint!!

You are brilliant

I think the scaredy version has it quirks too but it deffinitely depends on the end goal

Lots of fun! Liked all five. Also thinking it helps to have an early visual concept/scene in your head, which then provides a little bit of framing to build upon on paper.

I had always struggled with “why” we need colored pencils. This reason along with another video that you posted explains everything. Thanks Toby.

Just what I needed!

A great little sketch. I will try watercolour pencils soon. Thanks Toby.

I think your art is wonderful. And I love your videos. ❤

Looks fun!

what about white or black ck colour . do you never use it? what it is for then? who use whie and black

To speedy for me, loose and simple has not automatically be made in a hurry , right?

This is super helpful, and I hope it will help me to practice not overthinking things! (Good luck with that…) I’m traveling to Germany in July and would love to do some sketching since the architecture is so lovely, but the shape of some of the buildings is intimidating. 😅 straight lines I can work with but throw some curves and rounded bits in there and it ends up looking so wonky!

Can't wait to try these! This is a new discovery for me!

A lot of very useful information and instruction in only 15 minutes! Thanks Toby!

Thanks for this! One of my problems is that when I try to get really loose, I end up drawing symbols 😔Then again, I just realized that I avoid doing it for exactly that reason, so I have no practice. So maybe I need to heed your advice and just have a go at it rather than worrying about it so much lol.

The blue really does add some magic. Thanks for sharing. I am a member of Skill Share and am going to find your classes there.

loving these toby thankyou

Inspiring!

Thanks Toby, from Chile 🇨🇱

I have to fight many times my inner monster voice than others...I'm harsh with my work...I felt relief with this video...learning to be accepted 😊

🤍

This was such a great lesson. It boosted my confidence.

Thanks 🙏 it worked

Soy principiante en esta técnica de Urban Skechers y con tus videos me siento muy comodo, lo explicas todo muy detallado. No entiendo el idioma ingles pero me arreglo bien con los subtitulos. Un saludo desde España y muchas gracias por tus vídeos

I like using water colour pencils with an emery board to sprinkle on some texture when the page is still wet

Is your fountain pen ink is waterproof?

Excelente trabajo!!, La pluma Lamy que ha utilizado la tinta es permanente y resistente al agua, o es tinta normal. Muchas gracias por sus enseñanzas, tienes nuevo suscriptor

Ha, that glitter paper! That's a proprietary Paul Rubens thing, but they do make a good 100% cotton paper sketchbook as well, which is very nice for the price. The glitter paper could be fun for paper crafters or fantasy world artists -- those lovely metallic insect and hummingbird paintings might be fun on the glitter paper, too. I feel like, from what I've seen (only own a PR sketchbook, which I like very much), the nicest thing about the Paul Rubens palette sets are the palettes themselves, which are very good for a modestly priced set -- the four separate mixing wells, for example, is something you usually only see in the higher end professional brands. The quill looks pretty nice, too, for the price point. Agree -- the packaging is seductively lovely, but unnecessary.

This video was very helpfull Thank you

If I have never used watercolors before, would watercolor pencils be a reasonable place to begin?

Are you using watercolour paper or good quality sketch paper?

Great work Toby, can you please tell me what colours you use in your set. TIA

The glitter WC paper is a special product that’s popular with card makers or other more decorative painters, I believe. It’s gotten excellent reviews. I do enjoy the Paul Rubens journal-sized paper blocks with hard covers that have 100% cotton paper, and that paper is excellent, even comparable to the top makers of paper. They are a bargain. I’m guessing Bao Hong, a Chinese company that makes excellent artist and student grade WC paper, is the brand used in those PR journals. I also enjoy painting with the PR paints, which I use for practice, experiments, sketching or smaller works. I enjoy the smoothness and clarity, and they are at least mostly lightfast. I also feel freer when the paint is more affordable. They’re enjoyable! For more large scale pieces I use Winsor Newton and Daniel Smith mostly, with Rosa Gallery and some Sennelier on sale, and finally Holbein for some special colors and for pieces that don’t need paint that moves a lot. I’ve spent many hours determining which pigments/paints fulfill which purposes, and yet I also paint with a quite limited palette that can change depending on the subject or design. Paul Rubens are a watercolor I have an affection for, as I do my favorite, but very expensive in the USA, Winsor and Newton. Thank you for your detailed review!

Not a brand I would use, thanks for the review. I've seen others using them and I guess they might be good for certain styles for sure, like botanical maybe?

Thanks so much for this! As a total beginner to watercolours its really helpful,🙏

Meiliang watercolor paints are great for sketchbooks. And the tin is wonderful! But seriously! Why would anyone think these cheap brands would compare to professional supplies? Lindsay the frugal crafter (Lindsay Weirich) has done extensive comparisons of budget paints and is very honest too. Thanks, Toby❤ Tummy rubs, Betty🐾🐾

The Fibonacci explanation is incorrect.
