Watercolor pencils with colored pencils over it is a match made in heaven.
Lindsay since you did the watercolor christmas tree gift tag,Nov 24, 2013.you have inspired me with watercolors,matter of fact all-water medias.This is so awesome,love the birds.Thank you again for sharing your talented art.❤👍🌄🌹
"To hear mother nature,just listen to the beautiful birds."-Lynn
I don’t know why I never thought to combine watercolor and regular colored pencils. It makes so much sense.
Love birds...as always :)
I never knew you could use gamsol over watercolour! This opens so many possibilities 😊
Good for my soul. Thanks
Beautiful bird.
Oh wow, this is so beautiful! I love birds and this came out great.
Awesome tip! Use a non-watercolor brush with watercolor pencils.......*snap!* Now why didn't I think of that, lol. Thank you.
I am really real that beautiful bird great where the colors
Taking what I have been trying to do with acrylics and colored pencils to a whole other dimension! Blessed and safe days!
I really, really love this piece! The background is gorgeous and the bird really came to life with the final details, they made such a big difference! I've got a set of Arteza woodless watercolor pencils, but I don't use them as often as I'd wish to - I want to use them for more than just sketching for my watercolor paintings! They're nothing spectacular, in terms of quality, but they get the job done for now.
I look forward to the review of these inexpensive pencils! I'm in the awkward position of really struggling when I'm stuck with low quality supplies (I can't bring myself to just power through it), but also don't have the budget to get the really good stuff. So I really appreciate finding ones that are good enough not to get in the way of my learning but also affordable enough that I'm actually able to get them!
I feel like this motive would also be great for a colored pencil/soft pastel combo!
Totally!
I recently have been using the polychromos with the same brand of watercolour pencil using the same color over the top. I’m able to get a wonderful blend and opaque finish. I used the oil/wax pencil first then us the watercolour pencil and with a water brush blend.
Beautiful drawing.
I enjoyed watching this video. I love colored pencils, I have a huge prismacolor set. I have a smaller set of Derwent watercolor pencils too. I did not realize that I could mix both. I agree that colored pencil takes lots of time, but I love the results of layering. Thanks again.
Thank you for the instruction on how to develop the project
I love you're tutorials! I just did your jellyfish in pencil tutorials and your bird of paradise recently! Thank u for putting these online so others can follow along and learn from you! You r a great teacher! Plus I'm home with a new little one so painting and doing art really helps me relieve stress and get some down time while also learning how to do some new art techniques!
Congratulations!
Pretty little bird ! It's not easy coloring the bird, I noticed. The final result is very fantastic. The wings 'details are more difficult to made . 👏👏🤗☺️💖
You are given me some others similar ideas due to my severe damage hands! I will try to use a white lead of my Prismacolor premier in powder and dissolve it with few drops of rubbing alcohol with glycerine and happy crafting, Lindsay. 😊 from Saguenay near of Montreal in Canada ! 😅
Thank you Lindsay! This bird is absolutely stunning! About the time you said “this took a little over 2 hours” I was thinking I bet this took some time! Lol For me it will take days, and still will be rubbish. Thank you for the tips! I’m thinking I give up too soon and should continue adding color, details, etc.
I love your shawl and do enjoy the Sat chats... it’s a little like coffee with a friend. 🙂
I watch most of your videos, and I am always amazed at your versatility. Love this piece. I have just bought a 72 set of Amazon basic colored pencils and really love them. I shall try something like this. Thanks.
Beautiful! Such a talent you have Lindsay!
I have been using Prismacolors for over 45 years, always love them. Also use the Prismacolor art sticks. Wonderful products. Also use water color pencils and no problems with them. Like using the Prismacolor over a watercolor base. I also like using Grumtine by Grumbacher. It is made from orange oil. Smells great and works well. I also used to use hairspray as a fixative. The low priced stuff works best, also no major smell issues. 😊
Very nice, loved explanation
Another stunning art work Lindsay, you are so talented and inspirational. Thank you x
Thanks Lindsay. Amazing plumage. Gorgeous work! 🤩💜
Really love that background! Of course the bird is beautiful too!
Love the watercolor pencils! I'm going to have to play more with my stash. Thanks for sharing!
wow!!!wow!!!! I love the bird, background colors you outdid yourself with these budget friendly supplies.
Love the background!
Wow!! This background! 🦅
This is stunning! The background is gorgeous! I've said it before, but I'm amazed at the beauty and depth you get from colored pencils! It's so lifelike and wonderfully detailed! I'm headed to Critique Club now! Thanks Lindsay! ❤
Thank you for this . I love it
Thanks! Happy Sunday. 👍😊
Beautiful bird!
The bird is beautiful Lindsay. I love watching birds at my backyard feeder and you captured it so well. Lots of great tips too. I need to use less water. Thanks .
WOW, I love to see you paint! I maybe could handle the background. Thank you so much!
Brilliant video as always. When using watercolour paints I'm always stuck what to do about the background when I should really think about that first. I will give this a try next time I have my watercolour pencils and paints out.
I love the background on this one!
beautiful art i love your channel thank you
Very nice, and I learned a lot. Now if I can just retain it! LOL! I got a set of the Pagos pencils and watercolor pencils (70 pencils in each box). When I have a chance to pick up things I do, even if I don't really know much about the technique, I go ahead and get the supplies so I have them. I look forward to making art that is one 10th as good as yours.
why does this have no more support? (the bird is beautiful😊❤️)
AWESOME! He is so beautiful i love this and your background i want to try this and i also learned how i can fix my duck painting.. Thank you
That’s beautiful.
Wow!!! I love this!!! She is so beautiful!!!!! Great job lindsay!!!! I think I'm going to re join critique club as well! Ever since covid I haven't done any art and I need to get back on the grind!
Yes, it's good for your health, we all need art during these times!
Wow ❤️
I watched this twice! It's absolutely beautiful! The time you spent actually seems short, for such a magnificent result. Love, love, love. I learned a bunch from watching you, as well. Thank you! By the way, I hope someone was able to help you with how to do the videos for your cherry artworks. I had zero ideas.😀
A vs video seems to be the most popular idea:)
Love yur art
That is really beautiful 🥰
Thank you! 😊
I love this one. I haven’t used watercolor pencils yet but I think I will try this one. Than you for fixing the audio.
You are so welcome!
Adorable little birdie!!!
I have the Arteza watercolor pencils. I find that the pigment doesn't dissolve enough leaving pencil lines or washes away. Maybe my problem is the brush I've been using. I use water brushes instead of brushes you dip in water so I can watch shows while I paint. I'll try some of my regular crafting brushes with very little water and see if I get a better result. Of course, that means getting off my couch...
If changing brushes doesn't help, maybe it's the quality of the pencils.
I have the Arteza watercolour pencils as well and never get good results. Just like you said, it is either lines or no pigment. I hope changing brushes and using less water is the key.
I think the arteza watercolor pencils are good. Try less pressure when coloring and empty the waterbrush and dip it in water instead:)
magnificent!
Love this! Your background is AMAZING.....would you be willing to show that type background in a real time video telling what colors you're using plus going over the technique? Its really fantastic.
The real time version of this is in critique club, link in description:)
❤️❤️
Lindsey, do you have a video on comparing watercolor sketchbooks?
I dont, sorry:(
@@thefrugalcrafter Thanks for replying
Are these similar to the prima watercolor pencils? And do they dissolve good in water? I have had problems in the past with watercolor pencils leaving behind marks even with lots of water and a good brush. And also, are they pigmented when dipped into water and used directly on paper?
I had no problems dissolving these.
I do have a terrible habit of pushing too hard with my pencils, then my arthritis really plays up and my pencils wear down really fast or break.I think I need to write a big notice to myself to remind me not to.
Have you tried the Koh-i-noor colored pencils? I love as they are very rich in pigment, maybe the white would work for you, I also use it for drawing patterns on fabric. I don't know how afordable they would be at your place, I live in the city where Koh-i-noor is being made, but I think they sell worldwide :)
I have a review on their polycolor
Hi Lindsay. I was wondering what watercolor pencils would you recommend for someone just thinking about trying colored pencils, the ones you are using in this video or the ones put out by Arteza?
You cant go wrong with either. Arteza now has a 120 set and I believe ther we and wax pencils also match so go with the better value where you live
So pretty. Would you say touch up texture is the same as watercolor ground?
Not really, it's clear and thin, like a workable fixative you paint on.
nice video
Love this so much! Last time I checked, I can’t draw realistically - is that the correct word? So what do you suggest for those of us who can’t draw? Enjoy your wonderful video and move on? 🥺💕
Keep practicing! I have a class called "learn to draw with lindsay" in my school: lindsayweirich.teachable.com
@@thefrugalcrafter Thank you. I.will check it out.
I want to buy it. How much are you selling it for? Please advise as I would love to buy it from you.
Thanks, please email me at artstudiosofbangor@yahoo.com for painting inquiries
So cute 🥰 , I love the blurry background it really makes that little bird pop and seem more 3D! I should really draw more birdies myself 😂, I'm notoriously bad at drawing them. Maybe I should make that some kind of challenge 🤔 Though wait, that's another thing I'm bad at; sticking with challenges and actually finishing them😅 These type of little finches used to be so much more often seen here in Germany when I was younger. Sad to see that we humans seem to push them out of their regular habitats 😕 I love seeing them around, they always make me smile - finches, tits, bare-chested robins, blackbirds - no matter which of them 😁 Good thing my mom loves feeding them, so they're like more regular guests in our garden 😊
When I paint the brush bends! I see that your brush seems hard- tipped brush., maybe it's the quality of the brush. My brushes are very soft pointed!!! 😒. I don't understand, everything seems to be more difficult., for me painting.
I use a golden taklon or white nylon brush for watercolor pencils. The brush that usually comes with the pencils is too soft and holds too much water. Try a synthetic made for acrylic painting and you will have more luck with watercolor pencils.
? Reupload?
yes I had a problem in the edit of the first version so I had to delete and upload a new one. I forgot to mute a track

Oh boy don't buy first time poly's if you just start;Start with kohinoor or prisma, with arthritis poly's will be quite hard without solvent. Invest in decent paper. Paper paper paper. You can have all the expensive pencils in the world but if the paper is off it will be frustrating. I personally like wc paper for colored pencils or pastelmat. Do have issues finding the solvent I like.
