Watercolor Pencils

Hello. Recently, we were doing some spring cleaning and came across an old Watercolor Pencils kit, so I decided to try the art. I did most of the projects in the book and I think they turned out quite well. If you like the look of watercolors, but have yet to succeed in the art of shading and mixing, and do not want to buy expensive high quality watercolors just to practice with, watercolor pencils are for you. All you need is a set of watercolor pencils, a cup or jar of water, and a paintbrush. There are two main tecniques. You can color and draw with the dry pencils and the go over with a wet paintbrush, or you can dip the tips of the pencils in water and then draw or color. The first is good for creating a softer effect, the second better for bold strokes. Hope that you try your hand at the art of watercolor pencils!
