You are, hands down, one of my favorite presenters on UA-cam. You have your supplies on hand, before you start. You don't stumble around your thoughts, when speaking. Your pace is excellent and your subject matter interesting and informative. I hope others learn about your channel as it is a real rarity among artist presenters.
Betty Schueler, you just made my whole weekend!!!
I COMPLETELY agree with these sentiments-you’ve often made me consider adding different elements to my own videos (you know I’m a huge fan of those scanned swatch comparisons), and your discussions are always very well-structured and engaging. You’re the best, and we love you. ❤️
Betty Schueler so agree!
Well, I hope you _know_ how I feel about you, too, Kat. It's a mutual admiration society 'round here! ❤️
M.D. Campbell I DO know. ❤️ there’s a lot of love up in here.
I'm 72 and recently spent 10wks in hospital. My best mate,my wife bought me a tin of watercolour pencils,my art shop gave me a heap of 300gsm w/paper and I was hooked. Hospital, doctor appointment,coffee shops out come the pencils, so convenient.
Thank you for sharing that, Alan Woodland! Amazing. 10 weeks in the hospital! I hope you're doing well now and it's fantastic to think that at 72, you are indulging into those pencils and your creative spirit! Well done! Cheers! :)
Btw- art and music are the best medicines! And same! (Kinda) im younger but spent most of this summer/fall in the hospital and stuck in bed. I couldn't work on my polymer clay sculpting there, so I had brought my watercolor pencils and paper, watercolors, masking fluid then bought a bunch of colored pencils from the gift shop. When my dad came to visit I asked him to stop at the craft store and pick up a sketchbook and metallic watercolors. Previous hospital stays I've worked on crocheting, embroidering, drawing, but the watercolor this year had got me really into water colors. I'm still learning on cheaper materials before I invest on expensive quality materials (I did invest in good water color paper and masking fluid). Currently I've been working on the negative painting technique with watercolors, each one gets a little better✌🏼
I gave you your 72nd "like" because of your age, I wish I could give another because your probably 73 now! Just a humorous way to say keep up your artistic interests, as you prove to aging folks out there that you're never too old to learn and can still have fun.
So sweet :)
yes, definately save the shavings, if you don't end up painting with them, I have an artist friend who saves ll; her shavings and puts them in a clear glass Christmas ball every year, they are surprisingly pretty on the tree I used to needlepoint and did the same with my thread trimmings
“You can’t eat paint”, they said. So I stopped making “art” a long time ago. But you make me believe it’s worth it to start drawing again, even if I never become a professional artist. And because of you, I might even produce good work. Thank you!
I love wetting a page and then drawing directly into the paper with watercolor pencils as it gives great intense lines 😊
Thanks for making this video 🙏😊
TIP for ya. U probably know this because of your exacto knife trick but its helped me a lot so I thought I'd share.
I save the pencil shavings from my water color pencils. I have a bigger container that I mix all the color shavings into, and I sprinkle them on wet paper, or various other things. I also have a bunch of little containers to separate the diff. colored shavings. I use them to make my own paint pallets, or to use in mixed media. I do, separate the wood from the paint most of the time. I just sharpen them on a piece of paper, pull the wood shavings, and funnel the dried paint into whatever. But theres tons of things I use them for. And I save money that way. Thankyou for your video I thoroughly enjoyed it. Watercolor pencils are so satisfying :) sorry if my explanation is confusing.
That's some really great information! I will totally take your idea and apply it. Thank you for sharing that with me - it wasn't confusing at all! I love to learn new ways to use older tools, so for me, the idea of using the shavings is classic! Cheers! :)
i do this, especially with the derwent metalic....then mix that wax base metalic with watercolor...via alcohol in a waterbrush.
gv4minx: What an excellent suggestion! Thanks so much, and you explained it very well. :)
This is such a genius idea! Thanks for sharing it! I'm definitely gonna do it now! :D
@@maggiemae9099 oh yah for sure. I have a lot of art supplies but most of it's from gifts or on sale buys. Most of it's the low grade. I did use that technique and still do in a wide variety of things. But I got an actual sharp sharpener lol and when the wood comes out in curls I can just wipe off the color and toss the wood shavings. Its saved me a bit of time. Ty 😊
I love my Albrecht Durers and Museum Aquarelles for underpainting my Coloured Pencil work. I use them stand alone too for full watercolour artwork. ❤️
You might want to try the Derwent Inktense pencils along with your other pencils. Inktense, once activated and then allowed to dry, won't lift if you use subsequent layers or add watercolor paint on top. I use both the regular watercolor pencils and Inktense. The wonderful thing about Derwent is that you can buy them singly, instead of buying an entire set. The other good thing about the inktense sticks is that you can use them as paints very easily. The reason this is important is that you can use a white Inktense stick to paint corrections and highlights and once it's dry, you can paint right over it without it lifting.
I agree
I love your explanations! Could you please make a video about watercolor papers? Cold press, hard press, what's the difference, student grade, artist grade, cheap, expensive, which brands are better, thickness of the paper and when it is recommended to use thick vs. thin, I have so many doubts on that particular issue, I would like to know more on that. Thanks a lot for your videos, I just recently discovered them and they're so informative and relatable and I just love them!
Nice comparison! I have so many WC pencils and I really enjoy them!
Thank you, Lindsay! I was talking about them in class and a student laughed and asked, "why would you need a watercolor pencil?" I laughed and said, "Oooh, you have NO idea!!" lol! I really do love them, as well! Cheers! :)
It’s really cool seeing the progression of your experience through this medium! It’s kind of crazy seeing how each iteration just ups the pigment load from one to the next. Didn’t realize how much more intense the prismacolor ones were until the shot of all four right at the end! Wow!!!
I’d been looking for this kind of video all evening! I’ve tried searching for “when to use watercolor pencils” and “why use watercolor pencils”, and eventually stumbled upon your video. I agree with the pinned comment 100%. I’ve subscribed to your channel as well and will be checking out your other videos. Thanks for sharing this!
Very nice presentation.i had no idea you could do such great work with pencils. Thank you and keep your presentations coming.
Thankyou Mark as a watercolour beginner - I learnt so much & enjoyed your demo so much !! To have a set of Derwent colours as a child was a dream - now I have the watercolour set & the Inktense but not sure how to use them !! Love your help
Thank you, Beverly Golding! I appreciate your kind feedback and glad you're indulging into your creative spirit. As for using the sets you have, I recommend just playing with what you have. You can also check out some of my older videos, as well as my friends Steve "The Mind of Watercolor," Lindsay "The Frugal Crafter," and Marty Owings, all artists I have incredible respect for in their craft and in their ability to teach and present. Stay well! ~ Mark
Another wonderful video, Mark!
Now this tutorial I have found to be very useful. Thanks so much for sharing. 😊
I truly love watching your video and your erxplanation also was so explicit and well done
I started using watercolor pencils for when I traveled and now use them regularly. You gave some really good tricks that I have to try. Thank you!
I’ve been an artist and designer for over 40 yrs and I am really enjoying your videos. They are so well done, the narrative is informative and positive plus your artwork is very appealing. I’ve been in a creative slump since being laid off a year ago and selling my dream home but your videos have inspired me to get back to basics. I’m going to dig out my pens and pencils and explore my new neighbourhood.
Dog Gonnit, I've unfortunately been on that side of the slump, as well. Working as a corporate designer in the late 1990s meant layoffs, dotbombs, and having to look for whatever work I could find. So, I'm sorry to hear about your layoff and hope you're doing well. Selling the dream home, well, I can relate there, as well. But, I have to say, my art and my music have always remained and continue to get me through even the roughest times. I'm happy to hear that you will revive your interest and your creative spirit. It may seem like a chore at times, but once you find that comfort zone, it will be great! Cheers and thank you so much for taking your time to watch. I'm sincerely grateful! :)
M.D. Campbell Yes the late 90’s were tough. Personal computers made “everyone” a graphic designer. Now I’m getting age discrimination in the job hunt but I’m a clever woman with tons of art supplies and I also recently bought a keyboard (impulse buy) that I’m trying to learn. Yoga is helping immensely.
Don Gonnit, once again, I understand that feeling! It's amazing how getting older clears the vision to the realities of getting older! lol! That's when we're forced to retool ourselves and become something new or different. I love the idea that you are immersing in yoga and got a keyboard. I was just telling my mom, yesterday, that I'd love to get a keyboard again. I used to adore playing piano and haven't had one in 10 years. You've inspired me to look into it... Cheers :)
Very nice Video on Watercolor Pencils. I love Watercolor Pencils and use them a lot just to have fun and explore color.
So many possibilities wow! 💜 great video
I'm so excited! A while back I bought a nice artist set that included about 40 Prismacolor watercolor pencils. I haven't used them because I really wasn't sure how to use them. Now I know that I not only got a good set, but I have multiple options for their use. Thank you!
Watercolor pencils are like you said very fun to use! I own the faber castel art grip, and they perfect, sometimes when i struggle to get fine details or some certain textures i will use the water soluble pencils preciseness is something that comes natural to these pencils, and textures on rocks trees, clothing or even adding a color outline. they are very transparent too so layering is very pleasant too. wonderful video Mark, I honestly didn't people struggle to get the point of water-soluble pencils.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and skills!
My first art was colored pencils. This video is FANTASTIC!!!! I just subscribed Thank you so much for sharing your ideas with us.
Amen ! My kind of logic! Thank you so much! You are wonderful to learn from from!
That's very kind of you to say, Eva K! Thank you for your time watching and for commenting. Made my day! :)
Sometimes I just dunk the pencil in water to make a bold saturated line. I also use watercolor pencils for guidelines or the underdrawing of a painting in watercolor or gouache when I don’t want the lines to show in the final painting. I like to do the rough sketch in red, and corrections in blue. Thanks for this video, Mark. It’s a great way to start the day. I missed the music and of course, the coffee break!
Thank you, my friend! I was going to mention dipping the pencil in water, but for me it always ends up a big mess! LOL! I love the idea of using the pencils as an underdrawing to use with other mediums. Great suggestion and wish I'd included it. Always grateful for your support and time! Have a great weekend and happy Easter, if you celebrate it! Cheers! :)
Same!
You shouldn't dip watercolor pencils, as it can get inside the pencil, rot it, or ruin the core.
And you can sharpen them with a Stanley or exacto knife to a chisel point, dip (not dunk) the point in water - and draw on black paper. Saturated and varied nice lines :)
Dipping the pencils in water is asking for trouble, not to mention the expense of ruining a pricey pencil. I'm surprised you would recommend it.
I like the earthy Derwent colours, they seem quite natural on your flower paintings.
Most of these sets are non-toxic, too... which means you can make simple, quick drawings that kids like and doing "paint with water" pages for them like the ones that used to be popular in coloring book form.
That's a terrific idea, Doubequill, and one of those ideas I wish I'd thought of prior to making the video! Thank you for that! Cheers! :)
What an excellent idea!! I'm new to this medium. I really appreciate tips like this.👍
Thank you for taking the time to make these videos!
You're welcome! Thank you for watching! :)
My favs are the Albrect Durer and the Caran Dache Supracolors. The pencil lines melt away with even the smallest amount of water. So smooth and satisfying. Thank you for your video!
See, I have so many supplies that never get enough attention from me, that I resist from buying the two brands you mentioned, as much as I want them! lol! I'm glad you mentioned them, Kelly Harmaier-Miller, because it's a good reminder for me that I definitely want to check them out at some point. I love your description of "melting away" and being so satisfying... I know that feeling! lol! Thank you for watching and I'm grateful for your feedback! :)
Very helpful video. Thanks!
I have had watercolour pencils in my kit for some time but was not sure how to use them Thank you for your informative video I’ll definitely be back to learn how to use them
SO well presented! There are SOOO many videos that I clicked on about watercolor pencils that I couldn't watch....some people have artistic talent without the video talent---you clearly have both, so I'm subscribed now. Thanks for sharing!
Hi Tracy VerBerkmoes! Thank you so much for your kind words! Yes, I agree - there are lot of videos out there, so it's challenging to know which are worth spending time with. I'm really happy you chose to spend time with mine and that you found it beneficial in some way. That's the best feedback anyone could ask for! I hope you are enjoying your creative journey and ready to feed your creative spirit with new insights! Enjoy! And again, thank you! ~ Mark
So glad I found this site! I love your Wild Irises; they look just like those around our cabin in the Snowy Range of Southeast Wyoming. I am 72 on my own during the pandemic. I will buy a set of Reeves, and follow your tutorials. Thank You!🙋🏼♀️💞🌟
Thank you, Melanie O'Hara! Wyoming is such a beautiful state! Haven't been in years, but remember some grand views! I hope you enjoy trying out the Reeves! Stay well! ~ Mark
I got the set of Albrecht Dürers and I am so happy with them. 💞
I have the Koh-i-noor and I love them. Great video, so encouraging!
I completely forgot to mention the Koh-i-noor Mondeluz, Katherine, and glad you brought them up here! Also glad to know you like them, as I've never used them but have seen them. Happy you enjoyed this, and I'm grateful for your time watching and feedback! Thank you! :)
Thanks so much for the information. I feel so blessed to be able to watch amazing people that share their ideas and thoughts. May God richly bless you and yours.
Thank you so much, Dorothy wintschel! That means so much! All good blessings to you, as well! :)
This video has made me want to get some watercolor pencils and give it a try. Just gorgeous! Thanks for sharing and God bless!
Thank you, Sheila Lewis-Lorum! If you get some, I hope you enjoy them! Take a peek at the Inktense pencils, as well - they're wonderful, too!
Thanks a lot for this great review!!
Cool video. That splatter technique was awesome!
Wow! What an awesome video! I'm just starting in art now that I've retired from a long career in engineering. I bought some watercolor pencils at a yard sale just because I was curious about them. I am sure they are not high quality, but regardless, I am hooked! I really love this video that you've done! I learned so much from you in just this video. I can't wait to see and learn more from you!
You made this educational and interesting TY
Great presentation. Thank you!
Hi Mark, you've basically covered all I could say about wc pencils! I've been working with them as mixed media items for years now and my faves are Derwent and Faber-Castell. For me layering over w/c washes produces the most control of high detail within small areas of contrast, it's fun! I've also branched to other brands. The ones I'm not crazy about I simply take with me on vacation/ location, so no worries about losing my quality paint supplies! Plus, there's no setup and I'll get a quick, fun impression for later on with any photos I might take. Sometimes the less you take, the more likely they'll get used/ less precious supplies-you're less fearful of messing up! Happy Easter :)
Great video! Thanks for posting!
Those are some great ideas
I am coming back to painting (oils) and drawing after many years apart and thought I would try watercolour pencils as a start, as I never managed to master watercolors. Thank you, your video is very informative! regards
Awesome comparison review of watercolor pencils Mark! 😃
Fantastic tutorial. Just what I was looking for as a brand new watercolor pencil user. Bravo!
Thank you so much, Deborah Gaw! I'm so happy you found this helpful! Enjoy your creative journey with those wc pencils... they can provide such a fun way to play and explore! Thank you for checking this out. ~ Mark
My favourite art teacher at school (in England), was a Mr. Campbell 😊
Thanks for doing this it is really helpful
Great video! Super informative 👍
Nicely covered subject Mark! I like your cool texture and spatter techniques. I've used the scraped off pigment method a few times. I personally don't paint (do full paintings) with WC pencils but I do love them for linear detail and underdrawings. Also love the application of color to line and wash. Most WC pencils have lightfast issues, so another reason I steer away from them for finished paintings that might hang, but as you noted, so great for sketching and portability. The best of the best is Caran d'ache Museum Aquarelles and Faber Castell Albrecht Durers. Pretty good ratings even in the light fast category. One thing I loved about the Prismacolors was they match up by color and number with their wax based pencils and the colors really do seem to match on paper, a nice mixed media potential with that. Thanks for the video my friend! You're quickly heading to 10k subs. Awesome!
Thank you, Steve! I appreciate your thoughts and watching. I'm the same and don't do much with them for finished work, but they're great for my sketching and studies. I've toyed with the idea of the FC and C'dA but can't really justify the extra spending when I don't need it. Perhaps when I hit 100,000 subs, eh? lol! Cheers and hope you and your family had a wonderful Easter! :)
I have been making greeting cards for 15 years or so, mostly with rubber stamps, and watercolor pencils are great for my use. I rarely use watercolor paper, but use heavy card stock. Thanks for your video!
Excellent information beautifully presented! Thank you!
Thank you, Julie Duncan! I really appreciate your thoughtful feedback! Stay well! ~ Mark
The sad thing is, I now have a ton of watercolor pencils, sooo many different sets. I started out buying a cheap set for $5.00 dollars, something called "The Fine Touch" a set of 12 regular (non-water color) which have different colors on each end, so 24 colors. Then I kept buying more expensive and more expensive, partly wanting more colors and partly also wanting more vibrant color but also I suspect secretly hoping that magic would happen and it was actually possible to "buy" drawing ability! uhuh. :D
Anyway, it's interesting but that cheapest set is still one of my favorites. It's the set I always take when going anywhere.
First video I see from you and love it. I love watercolors. Watercolor pencils where a little intimidating I guess I just need more practice with your explanation am looking forward to my practices. Overall a great video from the tone of voice to explanations. Have subscribe to your videos. Looking forward to them. Thanks, God Bless and Happy Easter 🐣
Thank you SO much for this video!!😍😍😍I have loved Watercolor pencils for years and it's nice to see them getting their due😉
Thank you for watching and for your feedback, Raine Nelson! I couldn't agree with you more. Love them! :)
M.D. Campbell 👏👏👏👏👏
I really enjoyed watching this tutorial since I have not used watercolor pencils very often and it has been a learning experience. Thank you very much.
Seriously, Linda Hale, I usually just treat them like regular colored pencils, and then after, it's like playtime to move them around and blend with water. I love that experience! Thank you so much for watching! Be well! :)
Love this video.
Thank you, @lauraholland5315!! That's very kind of you to say! :)
OMG that effect with just a spray bottle, never tried and how beautiful, thx!!!!
Thank you, Pebblesmas! Just imagine it in a bigger, more realized drawing! It's really cool! Cheers! :)
WOW! Thanks🎉
yeah!! i am ALL ABOUT fun being prio 1!! i'm playing around with watercolor pencils atm trying to use up some "watercolor" paper that can't really hold watercolor very well, and it is a blast. thefrugalcrafter has a ton of useful tutorials and stuff that i've been checking out and learning from. i've also been using them in my coloring book, pushing down hard in one place and then using a brush to drag out the pigment is a very convenient way to get some variation without making a ton of effort. and i color in that book when i'm tired and wanna relax so that's a perfect fit for that technique. :)
Thank you Mark very much for this lovely video. Watercolour pencils are great in journaling and add fine details to your watercolour art work. It helped much in biology like drawing cells and it's organelles cause it is so fine detail. I learn from the video that pigments from watercolour pencils never die and when few water add to it, start life again. One more important thing in your video that start small with budget affordable materials. Finally, we can keep doing study for the materials we have. Thanks for the great video, great lessons and do not forget some of your music next video. Good luck
Your generous support and kind words are always a joy to read, ismail abdelhamid! Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and leave your comment. I love the idea of using these pencils in a biology class and drawing a golgi body or mitochondrion would be amazing! It makes me want to go get my old science books from school! lol! And yes, with regard to buying according to budget, I would be easy to tell people to go and spend $100-200 on a product they may not even use very often, so I try to represent several tiers of price points. And thank you, I'm working on new music and hope to have something to share in the weeks ahead! Cheers and again, thank you! :)
Great video and comparison! I purchased cheap art supply store water color pencils and didn't like the fact they could be reactivated with water. This drew me to Derwent Inktense pencils that I could use with wet medium without reactivation on art journal stuff. I can use Prismacolor regular color pencils with them very nicely. Now I'm definitely going to look into the Prismacolor watercolor pencils, I didn't know they were so highly pigmented! I love your videos, thank you so much! ♡♡♡
Great review on the different pencils, thank you. 💞💫
Thank you, Kim! I appreciate your time and feedback on this one! :)
Great comparison! Thanks for sharing! 💕💜💕
Thank you for checking this one out, Tracy Plans! :)
Excellent advice for anyone considering watercolour pencils thankyou for sharing .
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this one, Chris Findlay. I love watercolor pencils, and glad you found this one to contain some useful advice! Cheers! ~ Mark
Such a great video!! Love the clear explanation and comparison. Very helpful! I have been painting with watercolours for quite a while, but never really sure if I want to try and invest in a good watercolour pencils.. my only experience with them is using my children's watercolour pencils and I'm not impressed. This video is just for me. Thanks!
I am study Bachelor of Art and have found your work with pencils very encouraging. I have the Derwent but have not used them yet. I am now going to use them for one of my next erecises.
Very helpful. I’ve been using watercolor pens and pencils for about one year. I have many more years of experience with actual watercolor paint. I really like them even if it does feel like cheating a little bit. Great video. Thanks!!
I bought a full set of the Faber Castell Aquarelles when they were still being made. My experience with Faber Castell in the past prompted the purchase which I haven't regretted. The Derwents I bought were very limited in color range, but I liked how they behaved as colored pencils and as watercolor with what I thought was a good density of pigment.
P.S. I really like how you did the splatter! I have not ever done that with WC pencils. I'm going to try it!
Yeah, it really is fun and can add a new dimension to one's style. Definitely worth exploring! Have fun and thank you! :)
Love your input on the watercolor pencils, but i just got to the coffee break, and now I'm going to make myself some coffee! :) a nice segment to add.
Thank you for this video. It is always great to get good useful info. Being lost in my art world....it is always helpful for me having videos like this to help me understand things a little better. Thanks again! 😊
I'm happy you enjoyed this, Becca, and I'm grateful you took the time to watch and leave such a kind comment. I totally understand about seeing videos that make things easier to understand - it's what inspired me to start doing this in the first place! Have a great weekend! :)
M.D. Campbell thank you....and you have a great weekend as well. 😊
lovely, thanks great information
True! They are very fun and nice to use. They are also necessary for doll customizing (a hobby of mine) due to the nature of the sealant.
Thank you so much for sharing
I really loved this video you have helped me a lot thanks
I really appreciate your thoughtful feedback, John Hillis! Thank you for watching and letting me know! Best regards! ~ Mark
Hello Mark,
I came across your great video and I wondered how I had not come across you before now. I enjoyed your reviews very much , you did them so well and made it all very interesting and informative. I will be watching more of your videos from now on. . Cheers,
Isabel
Thank you so much, Isabel Patchett. I am grateful for your time watching and really appreciate your kind feedback. Cheers, to you, as well! :)
I love point 1. You’re awesome!😘
So are you! Thanks so much, Better than Ever! :)
Thank you,this was very helpful because I plan on getting some water color pencils to try out a different medium
Thank you, Cyan Troupe, and good luck if you decide to check them out! :)
Mark, I spent a lot of time on your channel absorbing every word and reading every comment. You have a well organized and informative video that I do take to heart. By the way, my Supra Colors are a dream and I cherish them, as I do all of my art supplies. See you later.
Nice review and demo. I have the Faber-Castell Albrecht Durer pencils and they are great. I also have the Inktense pencils - they are different from regular watercolor pencils in that a layer becomes permanent after it dries. They behave more like permanent ink in this respect.
i clicked the like button simply because of the coffee break. very well done 👏👏
I never thought of just spraying it....duh. love it.
Really brilliant video. Very clear. U got a sub!👍
Very educative tutorial! I never thought 'bout the splattering right from the nib of the pencil :D
Thanks for watching, Virginia's Dolls! I'm glad you found this one interesting! Stay well! :)
love it - I am just exploring my watercolor pencils - Albrecht Durer in my case - with a water brush - but I love the brush you were using - enjoyed your blog btw :)
Wow, that's great to hear! Thank you so much for checking this one out _and_ for leaving a comment... but also for checking out my blog. I appreciate that very much! Cheers, ÁINE.
Another really excellent video.
Thank you so much, Judy Mason! That really means a lot! :)
Hi
Thanks ! Nice collection of techniques !
I work so far in soft pastel and acrylic painting.
But as summer approaches the garage where I like to work will get to hot to work in , usually I take my pastels or paints into the house but now I have new carpets and everything is painted.
So, I thinking of spending the hot season exploring water color pencils.

Another excellent review! I have a set of Caran d'Ache and they are wonderful. Very creamy and dissolve nicely. I love them. My first set were Staedtlers. I still use them for some special colors (like skin tones).
Thank you, gooddollie! I'm curious to try the Caran d'Ache since this video. I've heard many good things!
Oh! Mark, it's a real Joy to watch your videos, you are an Amazing Artist and you know what you speacking about the product you reviewing, i didn't know Prismacolor have some watercolor Pencils and they really are vibrant, for myself the Inktense are the one i use the most as watercolor Pencils and i really LOVE these a lot and i've learn somethings absolutely Genius the way you do full of Dots with your Brush and the tips of your pencil by wingeling well lol! don't know how to say that but i love the result and i will gave it a try for shure the other one is with your exacto , you really are a Fantastic Artist and i'm so happy i'm not living close to your Door because i would be after you to take some classes from you because you're an excellent teacher and i underfsthand everythings you've explain it's natural from you teaching and so informative and interesting, anyway i really love your spectacular videos Mark, Thyank You for your time, you have a wonderful personnality and whe all love the amazing videos you've show, Big Hugs for all of the hard work you've made to Please us Mark xx

I love the Inktense they are my fav! i also love my Stampin' Up watercolor Crayons, about 10 yrs old!
Very nicely done. Thank you.. I have the Prisma Water Color Pencils but really not sure how to use them correctly.. this was great..
Thank you, so much Sheryl Menke! I hope you put those pencils to good use! :)
The point is that colorful tip on top!
Lol the cost thing was pretty much why I bought my Derwents (less expensive than watercolor paints). I love using them to make cards for birthdays, Mother's Day, etc. Now I want to try out the tips from the beginning of the video! Thanks for sharing!
Thank yooou! I really want to learn how to waterpaint using pencils
