I use this all the time! It’s one of my favourite ways to use watercolour!
My favourite pencils for this are the Faber-Castell 9000. Particularly the 2b and 4b. As well as Staedtler 6 price mars lumograph blackest.
The Faber-Castel ‘dust free’ eraser erases everything even the hard to erase black and all coloured pencils. I mean all!
So also try coloured pencil and wash too!
The supplies I reccomend Above are amazing with this technique! And yes I do advise also doing pencil crayon (coloured pencil) and wash too!
I also use this in cheaper sketchbook paper including papers not intended for watercolour.
I also recommend getting some cheap dollar store make up brushes! Use make up brushes with painting (all types). Softer makeup brushes are ideal with this particular technique as they are excellent for soft washes and can do things you will love!
Using a black coloured pencil for dark black can also be excellent here too!
Some advanced things I do for this kind of mixed media is water-soluble pencils with the boldest being the Stabilo All. Use touches sparingly on top of the pencil/coloured pencil sketch and when you pull the wash in top remember and plan for how the water soluble pencil will reactivate and pull to make vibrant blended in shadows or areas of strong focal colours!
I need to make my own CZcams video about my techniques with this sort of thing soon myself.
I hope my tips here help people!
Have fun everyone, fun video thanks.
Love this! Pinning this right now :)
@@KristyRice Thanks! I really do recommend as I said in the initial comment.
I've been doing this for a great many years - 1997 - since I started suffering from periods of exhaustion, down to Asperger's and PTSD from being a longterm carer. It's the sole way that I work at the moment, especially since an essential tremor started taking hold as well. My brain still insists on making imagery. I've been drawing for most of my life, I don't actually even remember starting and image making is so integral to my personality that i'll probably keep doing it until, suddenly I hope, I switch off. I seem, over the years, to have set up camp somewhere between Moebius, John Tunnard, Kandinsky and Varo. What turns up depends entirely on the day.
@@josefschiltz2192 Wishing you joy & peace & everything that “fills your cup” (Asian tea saying). ♥️ I have a tremor too & I’m so happy / relieved that you had the bravery to share that. It’s inspiring ✨ Maybe my life isn’t as “alone” as I thought it was. 🌸
Thank you so much for writing 🌷🌷✨🌷🌷
@@LITTLEsquirrelz A good friend of mine, also an artist, also has a tremor. His is from Parkinsons. He can actually steady his hand down enough to work on an Ipad. He cannot mix paint, as he used to, which he finds frustrating, but he does manage abstract very well on the pad. I am trying some supplements which were recommended on Earth Clinic. I had to stop for a while, but now I'm back on them. Keeping fingers crossed - just my little joke! - that improvements will happen. The supplements were recommended by an operating theatre nurse, so here's hoping sustained treatment will be of advantage! My friend's name is Paul Dufficey and he worked on films for a number of years. He's a good lad and you'd probably find some of his goings on online somewhere! Take care.
I very recently received an ugly result from a biopsy and have chosen to lose myself in your beautiful world of color, creativity, positivity, passion for all things watercolor, and completely fresh perspective. I’ve been a pretty successful artist for several years now, but this diagnosis has shaken me to my core. After watching about two dozen of your wonderfully inspired videos, all I can think about is painting and adding all I’ve picked up from you to my own watercolor style. Saying “Thanks” just doesn’t seem enough, but from the bottom of my heart I say, “Thank you!!!” I can hardly wait to get home (my precious hubby took me on a trip to try and help me find some perspective and has been 100% supportive of me losing myself in your world) to my drawing pad and put all I’ve picked up from your videos to practice in my art. Blessings to you for so freely sharing you! X❤X
I am so sorry for your ugly news. I struggle with physical "challenges" and I always say "Art Saved My Life" and it is also a great pain reliever without the horrid side effects. Good luck with your Journey to replenish your health. Linda ("LJ")
@@ljshaw8516 I am beyond touched that you took the time to respond to my message. I’ve yet to share my news with anyone but my hubby. I guess I felt a safety in this nearly anonymous way, but if receiving lovely and supportive responses like yours is what I have to look forward to, everything is going to be alright. I am told that pain is in my future and I’ve never been one to take meds. I hate the “dulling” feel you get. I love life and feeling present. Having experienced much loss in my life, I get what a gift life is. LJ, I, too, am so sorry to hear of your health issues and that you deal with pain on what seems an all too regular basis. Painting has always been so cathartic and the optimist in me is excited to see this diagnosis will inspire and bring out in my art. Thank you again for your message and helping me to process all that I am feeling out loud. Blessings to you.
It’s wonderful that you are enjoying these videos. I’m right there with you. I love them and they are so inspiring!! Art is a true healer and I wish you the very best. ❤️
I know exactly how you feel!! I was diagnosed in 2019. I’m now three years cancer free. Think positive all the time. It will help you and pray to God to help you in this difficult time. ❤️❤️🙏🙏
I am so sad to hear this. Thanks for joining me, I hope this helps with peace!!!
Dear Kristy, you are my "slump" rescuer! anytime I dont have a clue or feel blue - I turn to you ! LOL magic can happen when I follow your instructions! yes! Happy painting!
Oh I love this!
I just love this more relaxed way of painting.
Me too!
You.have a clear concisive way for splainin' things Lucy..lol👍😘🎨 ✏ ❤
I appreciate that!!
Love graphite pencil work. So this is perfect for me.
Wonderful!!
I stumbled on this technique by accident a few years back. At the time I somehow thought it must be wrong, because I’d not seen others do anything but pen and wash. One CZcamsr I watched said that the pencil would dull the watercolours. I don’t find that, and your lovely painting here shows that the opposite is the case. Thank you very much for producing such a great video. I will definitely be going back to using this technique again using the wonderful tips you have given
I so appreciate you sharing this story and thank you so much!
Pencil & watercolor have always been a favorite, but your lesson and encouragement here is *chef's kiss*. Thanks for another awesome video!
You are so welcome!
Just got my Kristy Rice palette… love .. love… LOVE
Wahoo!!
wow im so joyful i found you! bob ross taught me to paint but i think you are my bob ross of watercolor!!!
Oh the best compliment I could receive!! XO
Such a cute idea to try… especially this month dedicated to watercolor. Thank you for the inspiration!
You bet!!
Love love love this idea! 💜 thank you
You’re very welcome!
So enjoyed watching this I’ve never been one for flowers but I’m changing and starting to love doing botanicals Thanks for sharing I really enjoy your teaching style 🌻
Kristy, You never cease to amaze meme! I never thought of trying this. It looks delightful and I'm gonna give it a go shortly. Thanks again!
Yay! Glad to hear it!!
Love this. Will definitely try it. Thank you Kristy.
Have fun!
Thank you so much! I feel like you just took the pressure off that I have been feeling whenever I try to create something! This looks like so much fun and I cannot wait to get started! 💖💖💖
Wonderful to hear!
@@KristyRice Hee hee, I decided to work on this one yesterday. I think I did way too much shading and got carried away lol, but I'm happy cause you gave me a great excuse to buy myself flowers and start drawing again! Painting tonight! Thank you again! Yay! 💖💖💖
I love grisaille! You explain the technique very well. Thanks for another fun tutorial 😊
You are so welcome!!
I have so many art supplies, watercolor and drawing supplies. I fell into a slump and cant even start. Your videos though are in themselves meditative. I love your technique and I love not being perfect and this helping to hone drawing skills.❤️🦋
So glad you are here! Thank you :)
Thanks Kristy, you are a godsend for me. I LOVE this style and your explanations are brilliantly simple. Thanks again
You are so welcome!
Love this technique and inspires me to get back working with watercolor and pencil and pen. Thank you so much Kristy!
You are so welcome!
WOW!
That is so cool !
Keep up the good work!
Thanks sooo much!!
Pencil sketch and watercolor a delight! I will try this when I’m needing just to play! Thanks again for showing me new ways! Karen Dirmish!
You’re very welcome!!
I also want to add - thank you. This technique and video is wonderful.
Thanks!!
Thank you so much for the detailed explanation, Kristy. Very nice
You are so welcome!! Cheers :)
I really like that look of pencil with watercolor. I practice drawing something everyday! Not there yet...lol! I also love your palette Kristy.
Aww thanks!!
What an awesome tutorial! Thank you lady 🤗 So beautiful and opened up my mind.
So glad to hear :)
This is such a great technique! Everybody else wants very light pencil do it doesn't show. I love this way of using pencil to define the shading.
I’m so glad!!
This is my fav video of yours yet
Thanks!
Wow! This is just what I need right now!!! 👍
I’m so glad!
I love pencil and watercolour! Love this tutorial Thank you and appreciated!
You are so welcome!
Thank you Kristy. Another great video.
Thanks for watching!
I love this video. I'm drawn to watercolor and graphite but not so much to the harsh unerasability of ink. Thank you so much for the inspiration and beautiful art.
Glad it was helpful!
It’s my favorite style of art.
So cool :)
This is so insightful! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
You're so welcome!
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaa! Kristy I have been watching tutorials for ages, but you…you have just ignited a fire in me…the technique , your explanation, your encouraging words, advice…. I love you. I’m absolutely certain I will enjoy the massive improvement for a long time this one video just gave me. Fabulous. Thank you so much.
Wow such incredible kindness, thank you!!
you are such a great teacher thank you for bieng here so often
I appreciate that so much!! I just can’t stop making videos apparently!!
Loved this sooo much, thank you!
So welcome :)
Thanks for the guidance!✏️
You bet!!
Oh Kristy…you make it look so easy❣️
Oh…how I wish!
You can do it!
I love pencil sketching and I’m just learning watercolour. This is a cool combination👍
Kristy I found your channel simply by accident and so glad I did.
I’m a self taught artist and use acrylics and a few times water colors. I love to draw and will try this technique of yours. You did a beautiful job of explaining and a manner that was not rushed.
I’ve saved this one to listen again and now a new subscriber. Thank you for this exciting new technique to me and I’m sure a few others. Blessings to you.👩🎨👩🎨🎨🖌
So glad you’re here!!
I love this. I like a lot sorts of watercolour styles. but I was always fascinated by old botanical drawings. and here are a lot of tips
So glad!
Much appreciated!
Glad to help!
This is such an exciting technique. I can't wait to give it a go 😁
Hope you enjoy it!
This is lovely, thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching!
What a great video! Thank you!
Of course :)
Gorgeous 💓
🥰😘
Just beautiful 😍
Aww thanks :)
I don't use watercolor paints but I enjoy watching and learning from you. You are inspirational! BTW your nails are awesome, mine are stubs because I garden!
Thank you so much!
Excellent technique. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you! Inspiring and informative! I really like your teaching style! Very calm and sympathetic, no BS or snobbery.
Wow, thank you!
Kristy you are wonderful! I’ve been struggling with a request for a Cardinal and opened CZcams to look at line/wash. Yours was the first video I saw, and it’s perfect! Don’t know how well it will work with the bird but I’m anxious to try. I can even put some leaves and twigs!
You are so welcome!
Lovely. Thanks.
Thanks for listening!
I love this video! Subscribed
Oh thank you and welcome!
This looks like fun. And isn't art supposed to be fun? Thanks for sharing this technique.
Yes!!
Thanks for the video!! I think this kind of style suits me. I like to draw and love the shading etc. I've been trying watercolors but feel like it best to try this technique to get more satisfaction and better results.
You can do it!
Beautiful
Thank you!!!
Very inspired by this video. Just subscribed to your channel. When I'm doing a drawing, painting, or sketch, I often put on meditative music. Relaxing and gets you into a more mindful place.
I adore mediative music OR period dramas playing in the background 😂
What a great idea !…
Thanks :)
Beautiful ❣️
Thank you! 😊
Nice illustrations
Thanks!
Thank you for sharing. This video was very informing.
My pleasure :)
This is brilliant. I use acrylics and could do this with thinned acrylics. Thank you!
You are so welcome!
Just found you and watched this for the first time. So much good stuff, I have learnt just from watching! Today I am going to go and give it a try. Thank you! New subbie here 😊
Thanks for watching! And let me know how it goes!
Kristy, you always make my day! Thanks ever so much for sharing your talents with the world. Perhaps you or other artists could answer a question about this technique. Even though you respond to all comments, it can get to a point where it is too overwhelming to do so, and another self-imposed pressure. My question is - does the graphite smear with the addition of the watercolor, thus muddying the result? When I paint over soft graphite, it does that. Perhaps I am using too much water and agitation.
WOW!!
😘
I'm not into flowers but I'm glad I watched your video Is so inspiring and helped me to be more loose and stress free on my own drawing_paintings ,Thanks
Awesome!
how fun..!!
Thanks :) :)
Great video!!
Thanks!
I'm new to watercolor. I've done some drawings for my granddaughters by using pencil and not erasing the lines like most artists suggest doing. So I guess I'm kinda doing this, but I obviously have a lot to learn as far as shading. Thanks for this tutorial.
You're welcome!
this looks so relaxing and fun! I am much better at sketching than painting and I believe this technique will help me bridge the gap. thank you.
Awesome!!
Well done
Greetings and thank you!!!
Kristy - Does erasing ruin paper? Baohong cold press is what I use. I’ve only ever taken a community art class, years ago and our teacher would admonish, no erasing, you will destroy your paper! She made us use Arches, BTW. I want to try this, but there’s no way that I’ll get it drawn without erasing. Thank you so much for this video, I LOVE IT!
It definitely can change the surface of the paper. So I try not to get in that erasing loop as I like to call it. Destroy, no. But impact, yes :)
Thanks Kristy, I think for now I’ll continue to do a first sketch on cheaper paper, since I still I tend to erase like a madwoman, then transfer to my good paper. You are so kind to give me a definitive answer. I learn so much from you. @@KristyRice
Wow, this was the best tutorial I've seen to date for my art. I didn't hear you mentioning using an eraser, which normal people might have used? ha and you didn't mention the difference going back in with pencil on top of the color and layering changes with each attempt and is trickier? for me? This was so helpful. Thank you.
She definitely mentioned erasing😆
I am not 100% sure, but I think, I had ones a conversation in the comment section with you about affordable watercolour paper. esp. for beginners, where they have the wettness and the surface they need, to practice. I know, you made a paper comparison recently. and in it there was one canson paper. the xl one. but I tried canson montval recently. per paper maybe a bit more expensive, but still far cheaper than the 100% cotton ones. I was blown away on how long one can work with this paper wet. of course arches 100% is still something different. but when I think back at my beginnings 2 years ago (and I still consider myself a beginner), I couldn't make full use of the great properties of arches anyway. I wasn't that elaborate to go in with a tissue and scrap a whole section of a paper just like that. but for anything else, washes, seascapes, skyies all sorts of wet in to wet esp. for small flowers etc, the canson montval is great. I got it, because someone in europe recommended it and I had it in my store. at that point I was tyired of the cheap paer. but because I saw her effortless painting process, that a lot looked like on cotton paper, I gave it a try. I am only sad, I hadn't heard about this one 2 years ago 😊
Greetings!! So glad to help!
Wow nice work, I feel like I should at least try this, I only ever use a single color and a chip brush and then try to draw over it with sharpie... I see why you have so may subscribers!
This was so relaxing to watch....all the shadows and smudging and softness. I'd love to know the title of the botanical book you showed us please.
Me too! Thanks!
Thank you for sharing! I have some of your colouring books and I love your style and your relaxed approach!
However, I feel a little uneasy about how the graphite taints the watercolour. Maybe the same technique with watersoluable (coloured) pencils would remove that issue.
I for my part love line and wash and would use this technique with waterproof ink. And would accept mistakes as "happy little accidents".
That is the joy of it, do what makes you happy :) :)
Interesting cool
Glad you think so!
Hello Kristy, have you tried Rosa Gallery watercolors? It’s Ukrainian brand, I am beginning with watercolors and I was so lucky to find your channel 🙏🏻😍 I have two palettes from them and one from Van Gogh, and would love to hear your thoughts on it. Watching your videos gives me confidence that it’s not always about making a master peace but also about joy, having a good time and playing with colors 🌸 Love what you do, how you paint and deliver information, found you like a week ago and now huge fan
Great lesson am going to try this NOW! Please tell me what your white mechanical pencil you switched to during video. PS I love your rings, is the red ring a particular brand? Thank you
Hey random question. I've been watching this other artist called ERUDA art and they use a watercolor brand called Mijello Mission Gold Watercolor. I've been stalking Jerry's Artarama for weeks and it's just constantly sold out. Have you tried this brand of paint yet? If so. Do ya love it? By the way your Holbein obsession convinced me to invest in the Holbein Artists' Watercolor 5ml Set of 60. Hello paint, goodbye $300 lol I'm eagerly waiting on that to arrive.
May I ask what pen you use for outlining in the first blurp...?
I've always loved watercolor but I have zero art lessons or anything. I have dived deep into acrylic and mixed Media abstracts the past ten years, but it's time to learn what I really love. Your video is incredibly clear, informative and beautiful. ..you're obviously incredibly talented, not just with your artform but with your soothing vocal techniques and videography. 💕
I love that you chose florals those are my fave...
Do your ember what inspired you to take up water color--- what has drawn me in, (and hopefully I'll start) ...is Peter Rabbit, the original story books. Oh so pretty.
Thanks for that chat. 🌞
Cheers!!
The pen can be found here - www.amazon.com/dp/B00OQJJ912?tag=onamzmomental-20&linkCode=ssc&creativeASIN=B00OQJJ912&asc_item-id=amzn1.ideas.3S46IM4V6KUTO
I love hearing your art journey!!!!
What type of pen do you use? Your drawings are beautiful! Thank you for the inspiration.
It should be in the description :)
I love the botanical book - what is it called?
Love this technique - but I am not really into flowers - I am more into animals, birds, fish etc... Would this technique work the same for those subjects as well? And I am wondering about the pencil smearing with the addition of the watercolour over top? Thank you for the great tips.
Such a good question :) The pencil for me doesn’t smear enough for me to even notice! So go for it, no worries :)
Beautiful!
I see you rub with your finger the graphite once in a while is it okay to use a pencil blender stump?
Absolutely!! Using one is a better idea honestly :)
♥️
:)
Okay, I pretty much watch ALL your videos....sooooooo....how did I miss this whole "pallette" you speak of?! Please, do tell me more!!! Right away!
There’s not enough thumbs for me to ‘like’ this!! 😆
Ha well thanks!!
What beautiful flowers!!! Some years ago, I knew an artist who always created beautiful pieces just as you have in this video by also using pencil and light washes of watercolor and I have always loved that particular genre you might say. I’m inspired! 😊
Thank you so much!
This is essentially grisaille method with color glazed over it. It can be very useful for deepening values. But be careful that you're using regular (i.e NOT water soluble) graphite. If your pencils are water soluble graphite, your lines and colors will get very muddy, very quickly. Water soluble graphite can produce some lovely effects, but I wouldn't use it for the kind of work in the video.
Such a good point absolutely. Thank you!!!
@@KristyRice you're welcome. Sadly, I've learned this one through experience. :-/
Gonna try this pencil and wash, looks like I need to work on lighter washes. Its hard for me to do those and its my biggest struggle
Keep going :)
🌺🌸💗🌺💗🌸🌺
:) :)
Really hard to screw things up…wanna bet? I love messing around with pencils so I will give it a try.
Go for it!!
Kristy, what size magnets do you use on the bottom of paint pans? Thank you
I used 10mm x 1mm or 12mm x 1mm round disc magnets fro Amazon!
Hope this helps!
@@dawnreaume2837 Thank you
Do you draw stencils for tattoos?
Oh my gosh, I never have!
Where did you get that amazing blue purse?!? (2 minutes in.)
It’s my Mom’s!! A Vera Bradley Disney series “The Little Mermaid” pattern
@@KristyRice your mom knows pretty! 🙂
HB is hard B is Soft B6 being solfter
I love HB because it’s right there in the middle. Not too hard, not too soft :)
Omg when you cut a flower from the vase … my soul died a little!
Ouch!
Also when you say create a strip from light to dark… you did the opposite- you scribbled dark to light. No?
