Oh I'm so so excited now. I got back into art and my love for it. My bf bought for me the Derwent 72 set of watercolour pencils. I can't wait to use them, I love the wonderful different impressions, tones and hues that you can create with them. I also got bought some wonderful Derwent sketching graphite pencils from the 9B gradient right through. 24 of them. I am super, super excited. Thank you for this wonderful video ma'am.
Very helpful video. Thank you. Having just bought a set of Derwent WC pencils, I was a bit dismayed because many YT reviews of them are quite negative. This reassured me a lot. Thank you.
I searched for a vid about these pencils and couldn't find one, so ordered the Coloursoft instead. The Academy are less expensive. Maybe I'll buy some in the future, but I'll never be as good as this demonstrator!
hi. beautiful showcase of the pencils! I am just wondering what paper are u using? I found that using watercolour pencils on watercolour paper or any paper - absorbs soo much water and colors are extremely dull afterward. also due to this I can't blend so much when colours are wet (dry to quickly even after saturating the paper with water..). any ideas what paper would work better with watercolour pencils to give them a better (easier) watery effect? that would be fantastic ! thank you !!
Hello, I know I'm not the lovely lady from the video but a type of paper that work very well with watercolours is fabriano but also I would recommend that you use watercolour blocks and student pads to start. Buy one pad and divide it in small pieces (post card size) to practice. Also keep in mind the weight of the paper. Your paper will not crumble too much if you pick a 140 lb paper but remember that you first you should stretch it (there are some good UA-cam videos here about stretching watercolour paper). I hope this helps and I'm sorry if my reply came a little bit late.
I love your work and tips! I have been experimenting with Moleskine watercolour pencils for a little while now and loving it! and still figuring out the techniques. I've uploaded a few videos so far :)
+Apricity I have found out they are not light fast they faded in my sketch book and a swatch sample faded so fast when I put a drawing next to a window :(
muskndusk where can the water brush be purchased online in USA?? I have had several of the pentel aquash but the tip ends become frayed over time. Maybe I'm using it too much, or incorrectly, but I don't have this problem with normal brushes. Is there a better water brush that i can buy online or in the New York area? Thanks
Beautiful I love these products ffom you your my nuber 1 derwent you are very affordable actually I think you are better than prisma colour and spectrum noir .
F.Y.I. D.I.Y. : Copy places can and will print a 10% ghost line print onto thin smooth watercolor paper from a dark line sketch ;pen or pencil. It can then be colored in later. ;=)
Well it is a straight-to-color sketch and she only uses representative colors to demonstrate how pencil sketching watercolor works. Personally, I'd end up with a big glop of water and muddy colors.
Joey Jimz The best paintings leave it to the imagination. This is an awesome painting (pencil picture, whatever you want to call it) If you need to see everything replicated 'exactly' then it's cos you've got no imagination 'just sayin'
At last, someone using watercolor pencils creatively- thanks for sharing; this is so inspirational.

Drawings like this make me feel like I'm a good artist. It's inspirational lol.
Gamer 89 -- Your comment just makes me feel like you don't really get "art". If you think everything has to look like a photograph, grab a camera.
Wow, this is amazing. I love the colors and the textures you can get with these pencils... definitely craving a set now!! 😁
got some for christmas from my dad when we went to the pencil museum they are very good and this tutorial has really helped
Very helpful video. Thank you. Having just bought a set of Derwent WC pencils, I was a bit dismayed because many YT reviews of them are quite negative. This reassured me a lot. Thank you.
I have exactly the same pencils so this served very useful.
This is beautiful. Thank you for the tutorial.

Such a creative use for wc pencils! 😊
Excellent demonstration. I am a professional artist but this is a new medium for me.Would like to see more. Thanks.
Enjoyed the demo how to layer and use these pencils. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!

I really noticed how the first lay down of colour that the tip broke and the other colours used were crumbling. ..
+Apricity I have found out they are not light fast they faded in my sketch book and a swatch sample faded so fast when I put a drawing next to a window :(

Perfectly good. Color management is like the most.
Thank you very much!

🎶 *You got the best of both worlds* 🎶
Where did you buy that water brush by the way? ♥
It's probably the Derwent water brush, you can buy them at lots of places online.
muskndusk where can the water brush be purchased online in USA?? I have had several of the pentel aquash but the tip ends become frayed over time.

Derwent is a UK company, but you might find a seller on Amazon who is prepared to ship to the US, at a cost.
Annabells117 I bought mine from Dickblick online. Caran d'Ache and Faber Castell make waterbrushes too
I wonder how these would go in a colouring book?
it sure is real colourful!!
Beautiful I love these products ffom you your my nuber 1 derwent you are very affordable actually I think you are better than prisma colour and spectrum noir .
most beautiful portrait ever
You can also use a coloured Pencil powder to blend and achieve the tones and texture required
I've basically spent the whole video trying to figure out the accent, settled on South African but I really can't place it.
Me too!
She’s got a British accent
its british you knob XD
It is indeed South African
Derwin then is a British company so I believe that the lady is British and so is her accent. You knob, 😂
I love her voice
Brilliant! Thank you x
Beautiful
Love this. Thanks.
1:55 that all by itself was worth watching for :)
That is Pritty awesome.
I got some from my art teacher fun to play with
i have the Lápices Acuarela water coloir pencils and crayons
what is the pen that she used to blend ????
it's a watercolour nylon hair brush (that's what I use), but you can use a regular brush if you don't have one
Nice 🎄
♥ Thank You ♥

Ca to win some derwent supplie

shes demonstrating colors and techniques

I wish i was kidding, This picture looks absolutely nothing like the reference.
+Joey Jimz why taking a photo rules, it gets exactly the same image (not without some minor shortcomings like an artistic value but who cares)
Seems biased
