My favorite light house. Rich and I used to go to York Beach every year to spend time at Nubble, and just went back last summer...so glad you chose to paint it...makes me smile.....Sandy
Awww, that's sweet:)
I’ll have to try the masking tape pallet idea!
This is a lovely scene, especially the rocks with the added loose lineart. I’ve got the graphitint pan set and was always tempted to get the pencils too - I really enjoy using muted colours. Thanks for sharing your work!
i used to go there with my family when we were on vacation. you captured it so beautifully!
Thank you:)
This is gorgeous! Thank you!
Wow! Gorgeous!!!!
Just got a set so I'm looking forward to this! Thanks!
That is my favorite lighthouse to go to in the summer...such a beautiful place & so peaceful.
Such a gorgeous painting!
Very nice ! Beautiful colors !
This was absolutely awesome for a Graphitint lover like me. Thank You so much.
Beautiful!
Love it! I have the paints and the pencils! I really need to start using my stash!
Super fun painting! Thanks for sharing😀
Beautiful painting. Thanks!
Looks wonderful. Your rocks look amazing. Such a lovely relaxing watch.
Love it!!
I love this! I have these pencils. Need to get them out again.
I love Derwent’s 24-sets. Wonderful little painting, Lindsay ❤️
The pencils look great as I love using graphite. I too love the rocks and water. Thank you for sharing. X
Love this scene, Lindsay. I already 🙂have the Graphitint pan set, putting the pencils on my wish list now!
Beautiful scene, Lindsay! Those pencils look fabulous, too. I might have to buy them :). Tfs.
Makes sense....Thank you for this. 💖🙏
Lovely painting. I need to use my watercolor pencils more often. The fine liners give nice detail. Thanks Lindsay!
I love the colors in graphitint!
Lindsay,what a beautiful presentation ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍🎨🎨🎨🎨🎨
I wish I could give this ten thumbs up! Thank you for this tutorial!
I enjoyed this video! It had a lot of helpful information. Great idea on using the masking tape! Your painting is lovely! Thank you for sharing!
Terrific, easy tutorial, Lindsay! And I happened to have a BRAND NEW set of these pencils in my art closet, so YAY to me! (I went ahead & ordered the 24 pack, as all I had were 12). I've not worked on these Strathmore papers, so ordered those too. Cha ching! Always enjoy your tutorial gifts. I didn't see a photo to d/l, i there one? Thank you for all you do for us, Lindsay!

Have fun!
Thank you for sharing this wonderful Graphitint pencils by Derwent! I just love their products. Thank for sharing your thoughts, the why’s and how to avoid problems. It’s so very helpful! I, also, like doing the line drawing after I paint, it just pops the colors. Thank you, again for a entertaining and educational video, you’re the best! Fran
Thanks!
Nubble Light! My favourite lighthouse! I do own this set of Grahitint and have begun playing around with them. Excellent tutorial, Lindsay!
Thanks!
Very beautiful. I love Derwent products. They’re fun to use.
This is a great scene. Wish we could e downloaded the basic sketch and gone from there for those of us who are still learning to draw
No I can resist this purchase , lol Linsay you are one of my favorite enablers 🥰!
Beautiful Lindsay, TFS♥️♥️
This is so cute i love how you drew it and colored it! :)
Beautiful painting Lindsay. TFS
Nubble light at York Maine! Love and miss that place! Thanks for an excuse to paint it. Dusting off the Graphitint!
I do love our lighthouses and I have imagined living in one, wouldn't that be nice?
I love watching you create a masterpiece! It's beautiful!!!
Thanks!
Awesome Lindsay , will look into the Derwent pencils xoxo
Beautiful painting :D
I love my set, got one the second they redesigned the tin. It does wonders for fantasy related art
That’s what I was thinking, actually!! Fantasy-related art!
Oh My Goodness, I was just yesterday gathering Lighthouse images so that I finally paint with Watercolour pencils/markers. I haven't painted them since I was a teenager eons ago. At that time, I painted in Oils. The image You choice is the one I had chosen to try. This is so Awesome.
I don't have those pencils, but thanks for sharing. 😊
This is a gorgeous picture. This medium is perfect for this scene.
Thank you Lindsay.
Thanks!
Great picture, I just might get my Derwent watercolour pencils out 😊👍
Lindsay, this is wonderful! ❤️👏🏻❤️ Graphitint are one of my favourite pencils, especially for land and sea scapes because the colour palette is so yummy! I didn't realise that Derwent made the brush set nor the Liners - very cool!
Yes and they are lovely! The waterbrushes are much easier to control The water feed out vs other brands I've tried and would be good for arthritic hands too.
@@thefrugalcrafter oh good to know as the arthritis is an issue here. 😩
this painting it lovely
I just love my set I use them a bunch
Thanks for the tutorial and how to use these pencils ❤️. This would be a perfect little picture for a nature/art journal too...the liner pens are perfect!! 😊❤️!!
Their pan paints are great for plein air too (easier for me to travel with vs a bunch of pencils) so many options!
Thanks for the tip ❤️😊
Beautiful! I have not used these....yet!
I love this! Thank you, Lindsay. I have a lot of photos I took of the Maine coast from our vacation last summer, that i would like to paint. This is perfect!
I hope you have a nice visit to my beautiful state!
Love my graphitint pencils and paint
I really enjoyed this! Normally I don’t watch your painting tutorials because I’m not a painter, but this was so lovely. A necessary respite in these times. Thank you 🙏🏾 ☺️
Thanks!
I need to use my Graphitint more, they are so lovely. This gave me great ideas, thanks so much, Lindsay.
You're welcome!
You're a good teacher.
Thank you!
This reminds me of a scene from Newfoundland! It’s really charming! You certainly created a special painting with the pencils! I like the effects that you were able to get with them!
Thank you!
Very nice x
It always makes me smile, Lindsay, when you say at the end of your videos..."Give me a thumbs up...." I give your videos a thumbs up before I even watch them! Love this video. I know there are quite a few techniques that can be done with watercolor pencils, but my biggest hurdle is knowing how much color to lay down in the first place. Laying down too much or too little color can be hard to fix....any thoughts? Or maybe another video....
Each brand of pencils are different. I recommend doing a swatch (I tape my swatch to the inside lid of the tin) so you habe an idea of how they laydown.
Thank you so much for doing this! I received this set of pencils as a gift recently, but I really struggled to find anything to paint because I was afraid of wasting such an expensive material. I decided to follow along with this video and the result was great! I'm so happy 😊
They are slow wearing so it will take a lot to use them up.
I am currently experimenting with Graphitint and Inktense Derwent pencils. I like how it is coming out. I using Kerby Rosanes’ Animorphia… I have recorded some of my progress to repeat the technique in the future so I don’t forget how I layered them out.
I really enjoyed your video. I love these pencils but included in my set some charcoal pencils which are water soluble of course such as an ochre yellow and sanguine color. Actually they are with all of my colored charcoal pencils and my Conti’s. They all flow together and can be wet too.
Fun! I just got some water soluble charcoal blocks I'm excited to use!
I have that same picture 😁 I took it on vacation a few years back and plan on painting it one day 😁
Maybe today's the day!
@@thefrugalcrafter not quite ready yet. I don't think my sketching is where it needs to be for this one.
The masking tape palette is such a good idea! I have the pencils and the pan set, the colours seem richer in the pencils than the pans, but the pans are useful for outdoors sketching
I actually prefer the pans 😆
How have I never thought to use the masking tape as my palette before? That's so convenient! I have a handful of graphitint pencils and I do like them but between Inktense and various brands of watercolour pencils I've just never felt the need to get the full set of graphitint as well. I like my finished pieces to be vibrant.
The graphitint are great for the Moody seascape vibe and I live in an area the graphitint palette is ideal for (kinda wish I live somewhere that a tropical palette would be good tho 😆)
This looks awesome! Rocks are my favorite things to draw as well... However, I struggle significantly with it. I have a difficult time with my hands. They pretty much don't work at all. I have to hold the pencil with the palms of my hands together and let my arms guide my hands if that makes sense, LOL. I have gotten a lot better at drawing though... If I work hard enough I do okay... But rocks man, on one hand they are my favorite thing to try and draw yet they seem to be my arch nemesis at the same time! I think I'm going to invest in these pencils. I love love love the muted tones. Anyways, just thought I'd share my love of rocks as well. Love your videos! Keep up the awesome work ️ ❤️
Beautiful tutorial. :)
Thanks!
Watching today from Fayetteville AR
I have seen the pencils for a while now and have been drawn to them… I think I would like to try coloring some stamped images like trees and rocks, or something that would lend itself to these colors and textures, but doing a landscape definitely seems a good fit for them. I love how your painting looks!
Good idea! Like the stampscapes stamps
@@thefrugalcrafter Ooh, yeah, those would be awesome! I have a set of wood-mounted rubber stamps that have trees, a couple of rocks, and two deer, from Michaels a few years ago. I don’t remember who made it.
@@thefrugalcrafter Maybe I could mix these stamps with some of those smaller Lavinia fairies (the set of three) and see what I can use to color with… maybe I will get these pencils really soon, as I’m so inspired now! 😂
Lovely painting with an amazing video lesson! I am just a bit sorry to mention this, but I took a printmaking class in college and the instructor was also the watercolor teacher, I never thought of taking his classes as I had been painting in watercolor since the age of 10. He was the first “Professional Artist” who convinced me that learning never stops! NOT if your a truly dedicated artist! So long story even longer! I took his classes and one of his tips was using watercolor pencils for details and scribbling on the tape holding the paper to use a brush for larger areas. When I asked him when he discovered this lil trick? He said years ago at a clinic he participated in. This was 1980 so I am not sure what years ago meant back then, but I believe that you can say that you are the first on UA-cam to record and document the “tip” for posterity! I have seen others use tins and assorted bottle caps as palettes, but you using the tape was a first on UA-cam that I can recall! I do hope that you continue to show and share your expertise with all art mediums. You Lindsay are a treasure and I am not the only person to believe it nor I would wager not the first person to say so! Thank you.
Aww darn, I thought I discovered something 😆
@@thefrugalcrafter yeah see now I feel like I should have just kept my mouth shut or my fingers still and said/typed nothing! It is a great idea and you should have credit for getting it online for everyone to know about!
I enjoyed watching this turned out real nice. I've been looking at the pencils for awhile. Just ordered the 24 set on Amazon 😐🤷♀️😁
I hope you enjoy them! I have 3 more videos recorded with these coming out:)
@@thefrugalcrafter 😁👍🏻nice. looking forward to them. Side note: I used my Owen in the yellow tin paints again today and the dried paint I'd left in the lid to reuse was curling peeling up. I've not had this happen before. have you?
@@1radruth I haven't but i usually clean my mixing area after each use.
This beach scene is beautiful. Wishing summer would hurry up and get here lol! These pencils have been on my amazon list since you did the last videos with them, I think the subject was shells. Do these blend well with blending stumps, like a regular graphite pencil? I'm looking for something to use for finishing touches that can be blended out, like graphite or charcoal, but with color.
These don't blends as well as normal graphite dry. You can blend them but normal graphite is better for dry blending.
I live about two miles from the Nubble lighthouse!
Lucky!
Why did she change her style? I liked the way she said, "Hi there! I'm Lindsey the frugalcrafter!" all hyped and excitedly
This video will also be a teacher lesson plan on the Derwent website so I wanted to introduce myself more formally:)
Your painting is beautiful. Where did you get this picture? I reminds me of the lighthouses that I saw when I traveled to New England, Maine and Nova Scotia. Thank you!
It's nubble head light in York Maine. The photo is from unsplash:)
I LOVE graphitint. Have you tried the Spectrum Noir Colourtint or Staedtler tinted graphite? Both accompany these well.
I haven't. I think I need to get more use if these before buying more.
@@thefrugalcrafter always a smart choice 😄
Show, obrigada.
Huh?
This was the lighthouse I went to the first time I was in Maine! My ex brother-in-law took a photo of my ex looking at the lighthouse that was published in the Portsmouth NH newspaper in 85 - 87 or thereabouts.
I actually have a Harbor Lights ceramic replica on my jewelry armoire now. Loved this one! Are you selling it?
Sure! I'll let you know when I can ship it.
Hi Lindsay, Since I have Derwent water soluble graphite and their watercolor pencils, how would you suggest I apply them for a substitute to this application? Would the graphite go on first or should the watercolor pencils be applied first? Thank you for all of your help.
I would layer them dry. Draw and shade with the pencils. Add watercolor pencil on to and then liquefy
I found the video very interesting & the painting was stunning. Question: what is the difference or why would you use these Graphitint pencils instead of other watercolour pencils? Is there a benefit? Or do they act the same? Thank you
Mainly for the color palette. You could use watercolor pencils if you prefer those colors.
Is there a way that the buildings dont look lime boxes
Hi. Do you have any suggestions where I can find open stock for Graphitint? I have the 12 set and the pans and I wanted to pick up the few remaining colors I am missing but the price at Blick is nearly $4 per pencil while the Inktense is less than half of that.
I'd be patient and check back on blick because often the Derwent products go for 50% off. Im just using the 12 set here so you can paint along with this with what you have.
Love the artwork. I don’t understand why the set does not have a yellow. Aren’t the three primaries a must in any colored pencils or paints , etc?
The 24 set has a yellow ish tone. I think it's due to the grey of graphite making yellow look dingy.
Did you sit outside today, Lindsay, and paint this scene? LOL It is 10 degrees here and neither I nor the doggie want to go outside for any known reason.
Today? No way! Yesterday I might have 😆
@@thefrugalcrafter The pup was shaking in the car even though I had him wrapped up in a down comforter waiting for the grand daughter, tonight.
Is this Nubble light? I am not far from York Beach. It's an Iconic light house.
Yep!
Are the line markers waterproof or water resistant?
Waterproof
What's the difference between these and watercolor pencils?
Watercolor pencils are just color and Graphitint are watersoluble graphite with a hint of color. They have the graphite sheen whereas watercolors dry to a matte color. Graphitint is muted and watercolor are more saturated.
Hi Mrs. Frugal Crafter amazing artist lady,
I have a question I would love your opinion on. Although, you are second guessing giving reviews I value your opinion. Unlike mind of watercolors or Owens or those other guys is your opinion that matters to me. Now, with that being said, water brushes; I've never had any luck with waterbrushes. I've never been able to control the water flow. I have seen those Derwent waterbrushes with the button for water control but have hesitated to purchase them because of cost. Here's the question: does the button actually help with water flow control enough to justify the added expense or are the Derwent water brushes just like any other Waterbrush? I'd like to be able to to carry some waterbrushes for convenience, but again, I can't seem to get control of them. Does the button actually make a difference?
These don't release water unless you push the button. If they get doen to 1/3 full it is harder to get the water to come out so you may need to refill more often. They are easier to control tho and i like that they don't feed continuously. You could always buy a single as see what you think instead of a set.
@@thefrugalcrafter God bless you for answering and quickly at that. You're the best!
