[@suegibson850]

Thank you so much For all those very helpful tips, will definitely putting them to use.

[@lauradrinkwine7673]

Same!!!

[@michaelklein5242]

Wow, this was absolutely chock full of great tips! All wonderful. Maybe the embossing idea took me by surprise, but so did a number of things. Your video lessons are so compact, yet full of valuable information. Thank you! 👏👏👏👏

[@joannejmskkyvetos3890]

All of them, but I was amazed by the travel pallet. I've just started using my watercolor crayons and this was a thorough explanation for all kinds of tips. Thanks

[@bparsons7337]

I have been totally wasting my pencils! Time to demand more from them.

[@leetau8429]

i just turned 60 and decided to learn how to draw and watercolour art. thanks to your videos i am learning so much and can render easy things and easy landscapes after only 4 months so thank you for sharing your skills and knowledge. from new zealand

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

Wonderful!

[@mattmanning7999]

Well done young fella. I am around the same age myself and I also took up this art myself. 10/10

[@mattmanning7999]

I am 71

[@barblallier9413]

Me too,,71, about 4 trs in, but I am only know getting serious about practicing, and it makes big difference! ❤ Finally! 😊

[@carlasimpson4064]

Wow! So many great ideas! I will need to watch this several times and take notes to remember these wonderful techniques and tips and hints, and whew!

[@elizabeths7285]

This was by far the most comprehensive watercolor pencil video I've seen!

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

Yay, thank you!

[@lorrainevanheteren6115]

You can also use a nail file or emery board for the speckle effect instead of a knife. I’ve used it ver effectively for painting rust

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

Clever idea!

[@stephaniem173]

I have just started painting and try out all your technics but hate to waste expensive watercolour paper. An artist friend suggested that I use plain Postcards which are quite thick paper, they work beautifully... bonus you can buy packs of 100 at the pound shop ( you guessed it ) for a pound. I do all your tricks and tests and add notes about your great ideas... now have my own little pile to keep... easy to store and always ready to refer to... hope this helps your other learners... thank you so much for your easy workable tutorial which you explain so clearly x

[@ChantelleArts]

Great tips! I really need to give watercolour pencils another go 😊

[@marionkruger458]

What an incredible tip with the embossing tool. 👍🏻

[@ginette2100]

Love that with just a few circles of watercolor pencils is a fun way to add to sketches on the go.

[@elizabethfischer4369]

Sadly we moved from Oregon to Texas the movers scared us and took all our belongings which sadly contained my dad's antique drafting/art table and cabinet full of enough large poster size sheets of watercolor to last a lifetime. All my treasures I felt as if I had been stabbed in the heart. I sew quilts for Vets and babies at life service's organizations. 33 twins size 25 baby quilts plus my personal collection my grandmother, mom and sister had made me. I don't mean to depressed you all. I could not even imagine doing a watercolor out of pure depression. And the through prayer and watching artists 🎨 on utube I felt something I pray for God to carry my pain and He did...you and a few artists have inspired me to start again and move on. I rank you so much for helping in my mourning and healing process!

[@kbearshoney]

I'm so sorry that happened to you. I don't understand meaness like this. 😢

[@wendymorrison8995]

You are so welcome!

[@MbSaidSo]

Those embossing tool and knife edge techniques are brilliant!

[@reneecailloux2573]

Can't wait to try the technique on the leaf (so much more natural looking!) and the pocket palette! You convinced me to give another chance to my dormant watercolor pencils!

[@randyhalvorson3060]

I liked the tips for drawing straight line as well as fine lines with embossing or knife. Thanks

[@angelafeather1301]

I find your videos really Useful. They are clear and concise, i like your videos because you are straight to the point and dont waste time talking about random things, you stick to what you are instructing. It is so helpful and interesting Thank you do much 👍

The rainbow technique is my favorite. I can see how it can be used in many ways. I also love the world’s tiniest watercolor palette. Thank you!

[@janetwoodbrown7174]

Idea for the small travel pallet is terrific!

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

Thank you!

[@liamwatson5125]

Michele, dear, I love watercolour pencils. I’ve been using them for over 20 years. Yes I always do a colour chart of swatches when I buy a set of watercolour pencils. It helps me decide what colours to use in my picture.

[@chrispolette8443]

Soooo many great tips! Love the traveling palette and “splatter” technique! Thank you!

[@janicecreed1621]

I have had watercolor pencils for years and love them. Especially liked the travel suggestion you described.

[@gardeniainbloom812]

The travel palette is genius along with so many others. Thanks so much. Oh and duh, so that's how you fill the water brush lol

Hi Honestly For me Personally The Best Really Well Illustrated Video You Should be Proud Iam Overwhelmed With Your Humility Thank You Andrew

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

Wow, thank you

[@peachpiano]

Very useful.I think the blending away to fade by brushing water towards the laid down colour was the best tip for me

[@deborahruth5072]

Happy New Year to you too and thank you for all the tips. I have just started playing with my watercolor pencils and these tips will come in handy. Love your sense of humor about the sword.

[@kathystaudenmayer2277]

I have learned a lot about usung watercolor pencils from your videos. Thank you! I now use them often, incorporating many of your great ideas. I like to use the scraping method and wetting the pencils for small amounts. I also like to mix the colors and use them like you show for the palette to make small amounts for details. It is a really quick way to get the "perfect" color without wasting alot of paint.

[@debbiebruce6920]

Thanks for all of the great tips. I think my favorite is getting a straight edge with scotch tape.

[@erinblu8551]

Wow, that perfectly faded edge is a game changer! Thank you!

[@PaulaScardamalia]

So many great tips with watercolor pencils which I love to use. I'm going to have to watch this a couple of times to remember them. And I love the smart travel palette. Would be so useful when you're sitting waiting in the car or you're on a plane or train and don't want to have to worry about spilling water or taking up too much room. It would be easy to clip to your sketchbook on the side that you aren't painting on. And I love the sword and your pointed sense of humor. Thank you, Michele.

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

Glad it was helpful! ⚔️

[@margogeorges1454]

[@annenglish2935]

Hello to our beautiful Michelle in 2023 & congratulations on having 100K subscribers!!! I just made up my mind to buy FC Albrecht Durer watercolor pencils! 36 pan... I bought a few single pencils at Blick thinking it would be enough. You've encouraged me to go ahead after waiting a long time ... that & a gift has made it possible. I loved how rich all the colors were... & also the stencil tool for making a deep groove! Also the wax resist, rainbow and travell pallet... also using just your wet brush and a dab of color swiping on the pencil, without having to open a paint tube! Really, all of your tips are great! I'll be saving this one! You look amazing... God bless you in the New Year, from a grateful California Gramma ❤️

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

So glad you enjoyed it Ann ☺️

[@chrisgregore359]

Hi Michele, I love these tips and tricks. My favorite is the one that fades the color to white by bringing the clear water up to the pigment. That is brilliant.😊 I just recently started using watercolor pencils and one tip I have is to get/buy a very thin cutting mat. It is like the thinnest cutting board ever. I purchased mine on Amazon. Then I cut it into smaller squares, to fit my travel art kit and studio table. When I want to use the pencil like watercolor, I scribble on the slightly textured side of the cutting mat and use the pigment like watercolor. It makes color mixing super easy too. I can clean off the mat and reuse it forever. Thank you again for all the wonderful videos you create. 💝

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

That's a great tip and you are very welcome!

[@KizetteandTotoro]

Your sense of humour is really loosening up and I love it. And as always, great tutorial. (I don’t even need to finish watching the video… I just know it’s going to be great. Thank you.

[@carolshappyplace5828]

Way to go Michelle!l Another excellent video! What a plethora of watercolor pencil techniques and tricks. This is the best watercolor pencil video I’ve seen. Love the Scotch tape masking technique and mini travel palette. The mini travel palette reminds me of those little prizes in a box of Cracker Jack (Carmel corn & peanut snack in a box sold at baseball games, etc.- for those in the UK). I think the brush was just a little piece of paper but it was great fun as a kid in the 70’s. Dating myself! Lol!❤✏️🎨

I've just received my very first watercolor set of 12 tubes ... I've been trying to learn for about a week so far and I'm really enjoying all of the neat things that you can do with them! I even bought an inexpensive set of 48 watercolor pencils, so this video is an amazing tool to have... Thank you so much for all of the knowledge! You're amazingly talented and you teach very well 😁

Thank you! Good luck with your paintings!

[@rolfhogfeldt7645]

WoW !, I came upon your video and I honestly forgot what I was looking for, but I'm glad I did. I've been wanting to try watercolour pencils to experiment with on top of my digital prints and this was the perfect video to come across. All your tips have given me the courage to dive in and give them a try. You've really opened my eyes to the possibilities of using them and HOW to use them. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and your presentation is very easy going and straight to the point. You are truly an inspiration !!!

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

Thank you!

[@frandongignac6256]

Thank you for these amazing tips. I'm a real newby....haven't even done one picture yet. I do, however, have all the supplies I need to start out, including the pencils. I've been watching KZbin videos from many artists to give myself a bit of confidence for when I do start. I'll definitely be watching a lot more of your videos as you explain things very simply for a new beginner. Just need to learn how to draw now 😊. Thank you again ! (Fran)

[@DawnDavidson]

Lovely! Several of these were new to me. I really liked the scraping technique for darker lines. (Coincidentally, it also reminded me to put my craft knife in my bag so I could take it down to my car to make an X in my registration tag, to discourage thieves from stealing the tag like they did last year! LOL. Thanks!) Mostly I use my watercolor pencils to highlight my Zentangle art, which is drawn with an ink pen (Sakura Pigma Microns, mostly.) I won’t use all of your techniques, but there were several ah-has, including the one about starting with clean water from the other side to avoid the sharp edge. You were so right about that one! Thanks!

[@akindcrone5644]

Just found you, I’m so happy. I’ve got all the sets sitting forever, now I’ll actually try using them, thank you 😍

[@barbararivera2380]

Wow Michele! You made me realize what I was doing wrong: using the point instead of the flat side of the tip. I could never eliminate the pencil marks. I thought it was the pencil so I tried all the different brands. I was ready to throw them all in the garbage. THANK You!🙏💜😍
