3 Essential Watercolor Pencil Skills Every Beginner Must Learn

Learn these three watercolor pencil skills to paint anything! Yes, it is absolutely doable, the problem is that many people have no idea how to use watercolor pencils in the first place. Once you practice and get the hang of the techniques, as with every art medium, you will notice you are able to create easily with watercolor pencils :)

Watercolour pencils really are a unique medium 😊

[@paintingandchocolate]

Yes and you can paint anything with them!

[@csmith508]

My wife got me a set of Cool Bank 160 Watercolor pencils for my birthday. Love watching your videos. They are always full of tips and tricks. I bought the pallet (2:50) and it will be here Wednesday. Can't wait...

[@paintingandchocolate]

Have fun!😃

[@greekveteran2715]

I totally agree! Watercolor pencils is an underrated medium! I personally sketch with Faber Castell graphite Aquarelle, which are by far the best pencils I've ever used and I've tried literally everything! I also got some Faber Castell Albrecht Durer and some Koh-I-Noor Mondeluz (because of their unique colors) like their Reddish Brown which such a nice color (people who love Red Chalk (Sanguine) will love this color too, because it's similar!! Paper works better than expected, actually looks really good! Thanks for sharing, you did a great job!!

[@paintingandchocolate]

Thank you so much! The pencils you are describing sound interesting 🙂 Thank you for sharing!

[@PaulaScardamalia]

I am so grateful for your videos using watercolor pencils. I have a set of 36 from Faber Castell and want to use them more but felt a little intimidated by them. Your tutorials are so helpful. I am taking some on my June trip to Ireland/Scotland and hope to put them to good use. Thank you.

[@paintingandchocolate]

You're welcome, more to come with them 🙂 a trip to Ireland and Scotland sounds great, I want to go back!

[@karencasebeer2483]

Great job of demonstrating techniques. Thank you 😊

[@paintingandchocolate]

You’re welcome 🙂

[@dianeo]

Beautiful effects. Lovely graceful and translucent betta fish! Wow, I didn't know they made a palette specifically for colored pencils! For smooth washes, I always use the method of touching the damp brush to the pencil tip then brushing it across the paper. Works great!

[@paintingandchocolate]

Yes it does, it's so good!🙂

[@helgam.dragosits2197]

it's great to watch you during the prozess. you are very considered where you put your lines and points of color. this sketchbook seems to be good for techniks with water.

[@paintingandchocolate]

Yes Helga I'm enjoying it so far even though it's not cotton.

[@Moebius3D]

Very inspiring, thank you for this. I just bought some of the Albrecht Durer pencils and im excited to try some of these techniques.

[@paintingandchocolate]

You're welcome, have fun!🙂

[@sandywest4299]

[@paintingandchocolate]

Thank you so much!

[@letsrokart3799]

Oh i love your Videos! Thank you for that❤❤❤❤ i have the white caran d'ache palette, too and its amazing. I love to paint with the Albrecht Dürer and the Polychromos together. I thin they are the best to create grwat artwork😊

[@paintingandchocolate]

I agree 🙂 and I'm in love with the palette now I have it!

[@marciamcgrath4953]

Thank you for a great video. Appreciate the techniques you showed.

You're welcome 🙂

[@weekend_art]

Yaaay, you bought the palette 😊 Wonderful fish! I really like S&B Beta, but recently I wanted to try toned paper with gouache and watercolor pencils. So I bought Nova trio with black, grey and beige papers. And it’s thinner paper but not bad at all. Have you tried toned paper?

[@paintingandchocolate]

Ah no but I was tempted by them 🙂 and yes for the palette, I love it!

[@annettecarroll842]

so beautiful!!! i have these pencils but i was using them differently, thank you so much for these very helpful tips❤

[@paintingandchocolate]

You're welcome 🙂

[@stevendavis7628]

Wonderful tutorial and beautiful painting! It might be interesting to add a "clock" to show elapsed time..my sense is that you are very productive with watercolor pencils. I'm looking forward to where you take this next!

[@paintingandchocolate]

Thank you Steven! I painted more today 🙂 but it's my occupation so it's normal I paint often 😉

[@ArtOfDan9908]

Awesome.

[@paintingandchocolate]

Thank you

[@Nasauniverse001]

Brilliant

[@paintingandchocolate]

Thank you Janis, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@sassycat378]

Thank you for another discussion on using pencils in interesting ways. Are you aware that Derwent has brought out 28 new Inktense pencils bringing them up to 100. I believe some of the colours are direct from the paint pan sets.

[@paintingandchocolate]

Ah yes I saw that but it seems they're hard to find online at the moment ((keeping my eyes on them!)

[@sassycat378]

@@paintingandchocolate Apparently you can buy them direct from Derwent and receive a free tin if you buy 12 or 24. They are a bit to expensive for me once shipping to Australia is included.

[@sandrarahimi5688]

Hello It may have been listed somewhere, but I could not find the answer. What are the brushes you are using?

[@paintingandchocolate]

Silverbrush black velvet 4 and 6. I listed them all with links in my kit.co store that you can find in the description, in my favorite watercolor supplies category.

[@PhyllisATaylor]

What brand of brushes are you using?

[@paintingandchocolate]

SilverBrush and Raphaël. I noted all references in my supplies section in the video description.

[@evelinepeterhans4873]

Can't watercolour soak into the palette that the watercolour becomes contaminated with much use? I have heard that you need porcelain palettes instead of plastic ones. I have seen that the caran d'ache palette is made of plexiglas. But i don't know how plexiglas behaves.

[@paintingandchocolate]

I haven't had issues with it so far.

[@evelinepeterhans4873]

@@paintingandchocolate thak you very much for the quick answer.

[@sofreader]

Where did u got that palette? 🤩

[@paintingandchocolate]

Amazon, you will find a link to it in my kit store (look in my description)

[@nouveauart3503]

Fantastico!!!

[@paintingandchocolate]

Thank you
