Watercolour Pencil Drawing(21)
Watercolour pencil drawing is a unique art form that allows you to combine drawing with painting. Watercolour pencils differ from regular coloured pencils in the way that they have water-soluble binders. They can be used dry, like regular coloured pencils, or with water to create dreamy watercolour effects. Watercolour pencils can be used as a medium in their own right or with watercolour paints and other mediums to add detail or create different textures.
The process of mixing water with watercolour is known as “activation” and can be done in several ways. Water can be applied to the page with a soft brush after drawing on the page with watercolour pencils. Sponges and other tools can also be used instead of a brush to create unique watercolour pencil art. Alternatively, colour can be extracted directly from the pencil tip using a wet paint brush which is then used to paint on the page. If you would like to create intense, highly-saturated strokes of colour, you can dip your pencil into water before drawing with it.
