Breathe Life into Your Wildlife Art: Watercolor Pencil Blending Tips

[@Graham_Thompson]

Gorgeous painting and a load of really useful tips to working with watercolour pencils. Never heard of the watercolour canvas boards until I started watching your channel so I am keen to get some and try it out. Many thanks for sharing 🙏

Really helpful video! Thank you! ❤ I had an epiphany with your tip about using a non-soluble pencil. For a long time I was always confused when people made videos for watercolor pencils but sketched in graphite first. I would think WHY? Why not just use a watercolor pencil?? Well, you hit the nail on the head and explained it for me 🤪. I don't know why that never occurred to me. 🤷‍♀️ 😂Great painting, great video!

[@PaintWithPencil]

I had the same thought. I like that I can erase graphite in the early sketching phases but I didn't like how graphite smears a little with the water. So now I do graphite first, then colored pencil or pen, then erase the graphite, then paint... or sometimes none of that! depends on my mood I suppose :)

I like tip number 1 about using video as a reference photo. At 30 frames per second one of them has to be good!

[@PaintWithPencil]

I need those odds. Especially with birds.

The painting turned out beautiful. It was good to see how you showed us your work, warts and all and then how to fix the bits that were too dark. I must get one of the power erasers
