So... Just What are Watercolor Pencils ?
According to Wikipedia : Watercolor pencils, otherwise known as water-soluble colored pencils, look the same as regular colored pencils. They can be used the same way and are a versatile art medium.
The pencils can be used dry like any normal colored pencils. Or they can be applied “wet” to get the desired watercolor effect. Something magical happen when water is added, changing the pencils to behave like watercolor paint.
In wet application, the artist first lays down the dry pigment and then follows up with a damp paintbrush to intensify and spread the colors. This technique can also be used to blend colors together, and many artists will apply both techniques in one art piece.
These watercolor pencils present very unique and exciting ways for both novice & artists to express themselves and create beautiful works of arts easily. They give the novice & artists the best of both worlds of painting and drawing. That is why Water Soluble Colored Pencil Sets are very popular choices of purchase.


How to Color with Watercolor Pencils ?
Water Soluble Colored Pencils offers the control of a colored pencil. Water can be applied to create interesting color flows. When used for dry drawing, there are two main rendering techniques colored pencil artists use.
Layering is usually used in the beginning stages of a colored pencil drawing, but can also be used for entire pieces. In layering, tones are gradually built up using several layers of primary colors. Layered drawings usually expose the tooth of the paper and are characterized by a grainy, fuzzy finish.
Burnishing is a blending technique in which a colorless blender or a light-colored pencil is applied firmly to an already layered drawing. This produces a shiny surface of blended colors that gets deep into the grain of the paper

When applied to wet drawing, the soft texture of the watercolor pencil core makes them easy to blend and layer. By adding water, you can create a variety effects from bold images to delicate washes.

INTERESTING FACT – Watercolor pencil drawings are not permanent. Many professionals like this this behaviour as they can modify the drawing over and over again – shading, blending or intensifying the colors to their liking (once the the initial layer of water had dried, you can re-wet it and move it about again).



Best way to use Watercolor Pencils


Technique #1: Without water
Just because they’re called watercolor pencils doesn’t mean they have to be used with water only. They can be used like regular colored pencils for dry artistic expression and will produce the same type of look.


Technique #2: Dry then wet
Water soluble pencil set can be used without water first (like regular colored pencils). Next, you can use a wet brush to go over the colors to blend and push the colors around on the paper (similar to watercolor painting). The colors will intensify, as the pencil strokes on paper disappear, with the addition of water. The drawing will change into a watercolor painting alike as you continue to add water.


Technique #3: Wet the pencil tip
A common way is to dip the watercolor pencil in a cup of water first before applying to the paper. It’s like having the precise control of a regular colored pencil but with the vibrant colors flowing onto the paper like a watercolor painting.


Technique #4: Wet the paper first
Dip your brush in a cup of water and run it over the area to be worked on. Color can be added onto the wet surface with your watercolor pencil. Wet the tip of the pencil before going over the wet surface to get a more intense color. Please note that the colors may bleed together (especially when layers of water are applied on the paper).


Technique #5: Mix and match
It is really up to your creativity to mix and match regular colored pencils or watercolor paint with your watercolor pencil piece to achieve different looks.
