    I agree, a very helpful video. At 68 I am an old new art student. I am slowly understanding layering and your video was another "A ha" moment. Understanding the whole process helps me be patient and to take my time. Thank you.

      Perfectly timed for me to see a year later, when I'm ready and eager to get started with my new full set of Faber Castel Albrecht Durer Watercolor pencils 120 that will arrive on this coming Monday. I also want to try the techniques shown using my original Derwent Inktense 72 pencils. A dream of mine is to be able to get the new 28 Inktense colors introduced in by Derwent in 2023!

    OMG. I'm a Newbie to watercolor pencils and I just swatched out 72 new watercolor pencils and I was doing the exact opposite of what your video suggested. From wrong paper, wrong technique, everything was wrong...I wish I had found your video first before struggling for almost 6 freaking hours 🥴🙄 THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing this! This was so very helpful and gave thorough instructions on what & what NOT to do for us Newbies 🙏😊❤

  • @mluna1237
    @mluna1237 Před rokem +38

    Great video, thank you so much for making it. I just want to add one thing for anyone who is new to watercolor pencils. You can blend dark to light, but it has to be done in a different way than going light to dark (which is what's shown in the video). It works well if you use small strokes side to side and wash off the brush frequently. While this method does make it easier to accidentally bring pigment too far down into the light area, I've found that it also gives you more control over not letting darker pigment bleed into already-wet light areas (which is a common issue that is even present in the video example).

    • @catherinewee1922
      @catherinewee1922 Před rokem +1

      Wonderful video. This is my first time using water colour pencils and the technique you have is just amazing and very skilful. Hopefully I am

    I absolutely love that video you made at that time. Definitely helped me understand the basics of how to layer and paint with watercolors (well w/pencils anyway 😊). And I did praise you for it when my work wasn’t coming out the way I want to and was watching it while I was painting. Now this video is in my playlists. So glad you decided to give a more in-depth tutorial to your steps this time around. ❤🤟🏾😎🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰❤

    This video was very helpful. I few years ago, I went to a watercolor pencil workshop, but it didn't cover as much as you did in your video. It left me feeling unsure of myself so I didn't pursue it any further. Your video, though, has inspired me to continue on.

    I have used the Koh-I-Noor brand of watercolor pencils. I thought when I was younger that they were the only brand that made them! I still have a very good collection of them. I have since invested in the Albrecht Durer pencils when doing more fine art that was intended for sale! Wonderful examples Alice you created a new wonderful video!

    I remember the original How-to video from 2018! 💐I was still in high school at that time and I appreciate your updated take on the tutorial. I'm also fond of an older tutorial on how to make textures with watercolors, including the plastic wrap and sponge method. Have you discovered new ways to make watercolor texture over the last few years? It would be great to see how you use other materials to make textures now.

    Ok. Wow. Although I currently have a migraine, I dragged my butt to my table with the watercolor pencils. I did your technique blending from the light to dark instead of the opposite. You are so right and it looks so good!! I’ve been tempted to pitch the darn things with frustration and disappointment because I wanted to love them. Now I do. Thank you.

    I still have my Bryunzeel watercolor pencils I got from my uncle at my hospital bed when I was 12. Never took to the watercoloring side of it, I simply hadn’t thought about them being watercolor pencils and their benefits. Recently I’ve rediscovered them and your video has given me some enthusiasm to use them like this. I am a very light colorist due to my muscle illness and don’t find them very pigmented but maybe I need to layer more so I’ll try that. If I still don’t like them at least I now know which pencils are worth buying. Your succulent is gorgeous btw

    I've seen people suggesting the wet on dry method of dipping your pencils. When I tried it, I was like "Oh this is so pretty.... for a few strokes, and then it goes back to being a pencil." I came to this video hoping to find out what I was doing wrong, and it apparently was that whole method!
