Your work is amazing I love it!! Thank you so very much!!! Your a wonderful artist!!

[@charlesevans7706]

[@justprerna]

I am a graphite sketcher, i picked up color pencils to see if i can do color pencil sketches only to find out that the pencil i picked up were lyra water soluble... but instead of regretting my expensive purchase you have made me think of it as a lucky pick and made me fall in love with water color pencil... hope my art comes out well! Thanks for such amazing channel !

Hi Charles... A great video. I've aways painted in oils for many years and since watching your videos realize that using water colour saves so much time when apposed to waiting for layers of oil paint to dry. At the age of 77 the clock is ticking but I now continue to pump out more paintings and enjoy using water colours. Thanks for your excellent tutorial

[@charlesevans7706]

Watercolour is so rewarding. Pleased you enjoyed it.

I’ve been doing pencil sketches and then a photo to capture colors. But watercolor pencils are better for capturing the mood for a future painting. Thanks for such a great idea!

[@charlesevans7706]

I’m soo pleased you enjoyed it.

[@pratimapatel7300]

I always though water colors and water color pencils are not for my type. I did a few very small water color paintings and some more water color pencil small paintings. But most of the time I used my Derwent watercolor set just for color pencil drawings only. Seeing you now I feel like venturing into water zone with or without pencils. You are very natural teacher who can inspire in a very easy way. Thank you for your nice tutorials.

[@charlesevans7706]

Very pleased you’ve enjoyed them.

[@martinwebb3394]

I followed your advice a bought a set of Lyra Rembrandt pencils like you use - they made a huge difference. Also, the technique of getting paint from the pencil with a wet brush to paint the sky rather than scribbling with pencil worked much better and gave a much more consistent and even colour. I learnt so much in just 20 minutes of video and I now have two paintings I'm quite proud of now (the other being mountains and lake). I'm going to see what other watercolour pencil tutorials you have and have a go of these. And the "Christmas Bundle" I ordered from your website (for my Christmas present off my wife) arrived the other day so I can try some proper landscape painting in the New Year! Thank you SO MUCH - this has given me a huge amount of pleasure. P.S. I love the way you wipe your brushes on your sleeve - you're a "proper" artist !(Ha ha)

This is a fascinating video on the way to use watercolor pencils thank you, as a person that has come back to art now that I have retired I am exploring a number of options but watercolor is still my personal favourite medium. Finding that these pencils can be used this way is fantastic. Will be investing in a new set of pencils very soon. Do have a very cheap limited set which will do for now. Love your demonstrations and the way you explain everything thank you for these videos, of to the easel to have a crack and experiment with pens and watercolor pencils.

Nice one. I have not tried the pencils yet, but right off the reel that tip about scratching in the sky part and leaving lines, that’s good. I know that I would have begun by scratching it in dry instead of taking it from the pencil with a brush. As winter approaches all these good free instructions are very good. Thank you.

I've been looking to learn how to paint landscapes in watercolor, and I've got curious about watercolor pencils because of their ease of use and portability. This was just what I was looking for! BTW, I got myself a copy of your book "Quick & Clever Watercolour Pencils" from the Kindle store. I'm definitely having a look at it next. Would you be doing any more videos on watercolor pencils in the future? Maybe one that involves some quick shapes of people in it? Once again, thank you very much, Charles!!

This is the second video of yours I have viewed Charles - I could sit and watch them all day - fantastic and so helpful. just a quick question. I had a go at your mountains and lake watercolour pencil exercise and drew the mountains by "rough" colouring in on dry paper as you did (the same techniques as when you applied the yellow and brown for the field and tree in this picture) but then when I applied water with the brush the colours didn't really flow and merge like yours did - the scribbled lines were still visible. Why might this be? I am using a very cheap set (only £3 as i have never tried this sort of thing before) of Daler Rowney Simply pencils - might this be the issue? I'm using 300gsm cold press watercolour paper. Many thanks in anticipation of your help. Martin
