A set of water pencil colors suitable for various painting techniques

First of all, you can use water pencils like regular pencils. The pencils will suit color drawings, drawing and coloring. In this case, waterproof paper should not be used and any paper will fit the purpose. To use pencils as watercolors, you must have thick paper or paper designed for watercolors and watercolors. After the dry painting with the pencils can be applied with a damp brush, the paint will dissolve in water and produce a look of regular watercolors. You can continue to draw with pencils and move with the brush thus creating more and more layers for drawing. You can also dip the tip of the pencil directly in the water and draw on the page. The water dissolves and softens the tip of the pencil and allows for a strong, uniform and soft color. Another option is to wet the paper on the beginning and draw on the wet paper with a pencil. In watercolor painting it is possible to combine solid watercolors or from a tube and use the water pencils and precision small details. You should try all the techniques and find out why you connect more and which one is most preferred and comfortable for you.

Water crayons are highly recommended for children. They don't get dirty, are fun to use and allow diversity and creativity. Watercolors express airiness, lightness, movement, flow, light and transparency. They invite an aesthetic spiritual experience, through the connection created between body, emotion and thought.

Watercolor is considered a popular medium for painting outdoors. Unlike other types of painting, little advance preparation and minimal equipment are required. Therefore, you can comfortably draw in watercolors on long trips, on trips or in front of an urban landscape while sitting in a cafe. Watercolors dry quickly, allowing you to easily paint in layers and capture dynamic situations on the page. For drawing on trips or travels, it is recommended to have a brush pen with a built-in water tank.
