Tonight I did some watercolour pencil drawing/painting as a work colleague loaned me an Aquash Water Brush to try out. I ended up resorting to a liner brush as I just couldn't get the feel of the Aquash Water Brush.
In all honesty...I'd rather use watercolour paints than attempt the pencils again. I will leave the pencils for sketching painting designs onto canvas. I will, however, finish this drawing/painting and then ear mark it to go on a canvas with acrylic paint.

I really like the color and pattern in that. I agree, watercolour pencils can be a pain. I like them best for details. They work well for that. Happy AEDM!

ReplyDeleteThey take a bit of getting used to but it is worth hanging in there as you will get some great results in time ... frustrating when you start out though!!!
ReplyDeleteYour sketch is looking lovely, Paula.
ReplyDeleteI think watercolour pencils are great for small areas and definition but I'd prefer using my Mungyo Gallery watercolour crayons or watercolour paints for filling in large areas.
I'd love to see it finished...I think it would make a great acrylic painting. :)
