Professional water pencils are suitable for a variety of drawing and drawing techniques

For colored drawings, sketching and coloring you don't need to use waterproof paper and any paper will do for the purpose. To use pencils as watercolors, you must have thick paper or paper designated for watercolors and watercolors. After the dry drawing with the pencils, you can go over it with a damp brush, the color will dissolve in water and create the appearance of normal watercolors. You can continue to draw with pencils and go over with the brush, thus creating more and more layers for drawing. You can also dip the tip of the pencil directly in water and draw on the page. The water melts and softens the tip of the pencil and enables a strong, uniform and soft color. Another option is to wet the paper at the beginning and draw on the wet paper with a pencil. In watercolor painting, you can combine solid watercolors or from a tube and use the watercolor pencils for precise small details. You should try all the techniques and find out what you connect with more and which one is most preferred and comfortable for you.
