    I really love using my WC pencils, just as much as my pallets! I see several have mentioned that there is no need to erase, the lines dissolve and disappear! Your gnomes turned out beautifully!!! Thanks for sharing!

    Emma, I have found that you don't have to worry so much about erasing your Grey line drawing. It pretty much dissapears as you paint your subject. Thank you for sharring your talent. I've followed you for two years and look forward to trying everything you share. I'm an 81 year grandmother and will paint your gnomes for my great granddaughters.

    I have had some watercolor pencils for years now, but never used them because I wasn't sure how to use them. Your tutorial helped me to understand how the pencils worked and I appreciate the tips. The gnomes are so cute and it was a pleasure to watch this video. Thanks.

    OMG you guys!!! I thought you smudged the drawing when you erased, but then you moved the picture and the smudges stayed put. I REALLLLLY need to clean my laptop screen LOL!

    @amybush9066 Před 2 lety +16

    I'm glad you found that you can like the watercolored pencils. I often sketch out in a gray so I don't have to erase. The color renders out and is not noticable when you use a brighter or darker color. Yes even disapears when using yellow. The gnomes are so adorable! I love it!

  • @margaretmitchell7168

    You have found a use for watercolour pencils ✏️! I agree re florals - the lines are too harsh; this type of image responds really well though - thanks so much 👏😁

  • @loriwalker-brandon9163
    @loriwalker-brandon9163 Před rokem +1

    Thank you so much for this tutorial! I have a set of WC pencils and did not know the proper technique, but the working light to dark makes sense and you've proven it very well with this project (I know with WC paints we layer light to dark/most prominent, but for some reason I was not putting that together when it came to the pencils). Thank you for all of your tutorials and I love your floral work too, but this was a fun change-up and I definitely learned a lot from it :)

      Yes! You could extend his arm outward with mittened hand holding a square or rectangular sign with To: and From: on it! Use the darker gray as outline with little to no shading.

    Just a heads up…I have some Loew-Cornell pencils and a set of Prismacolor pencils. I was watching your video the other day and drew out a sketch thinking I could erase my reference lines. I was using the Prismacolor pencils. They do NOT erase! So I tested my Loew-Cornell pencil. It erased fine. I have the same eraser you have as well. So some watercolor pencils do not erase. Test first.

    Love the gnomes. Came out great, as usual. I have colored pencils, haven't used them yet. Will definitely give this a try. 1 tiny request could u do a girl gnome. I have a grandson & a granddaughter. Would love to send them a card with gnomes dressed in their favorite colors.🙏💖

    I painted one of the gnomes in this 2021 when it came out. Loved it. This seems like it would be a good one to post on your Friday reposts this holiday season. I know it’s about watercolor pencils but obviously one doesn’t have to use pencils. Just a thought. I did just see the Advent gnome tutorial, simpler version. But these came out so cute

    Wonder if you might sketch out the objects to paint on a plain piece off paper before you do the video next time so we can see the outline you lightly draw on the wc paper. I personally take the basic idea and spin it my own way. Love this video. TFS. Watercolor holiday love to all ❤

    It is so hard to see, like you said. I bet if your background wasn’t white as well, it’d make it a lot easier for us to see Bc the lights are so bright too. Just too much light going on.
    I do absolutely love these gnomes though!! 🥰💕🥰
