Yes! But it's hard to say there's one particular way to layer them. You can shift the layering options back and forth, but I would suggest you test out the brands you have (watercolor can have so many bases, like oil/wax/clay so it just varies from brand to brand).
This was the perfect time to view the video about Colored Pencils. My magazine came and the question was what to do about broken pencils. No microwave. There are sometimes metallics in the pencil pigments. Could ruin your microwave along with the pencils! Stand them upright in a jar and leave them out in the sun for a few hours. Or in a hot car (no kids or pets please)!
Hello. Once a wax based pencil breaks up, you can not reset it. I tired. The only thing you can do is use your product carefully by placing a soft mat under your table or the area where you are working.
I have had a pencil that broke every time I sharpened it. It was obvious the core was shattered. Both wax and oil are meltable. Maybe heating with a hair dryer or putting it in a hot car will adversely affect some cores-but not all. I have fixed pencils by heating every time I tried. If a pencil really does have a shattered core, it is ruined without some kind of rescue effort . At that point you have nothing to lose, if it is a water resistant type.
It doesn't repel the water as much as you would think! The "water" blending I did definitely moved the pigment around, but I didn't have a fully covered layer of the pencils down so it still had space in between the waxy areas that was effected by the water/allowed it to seep into the paper.
Colored pencils are water resistant not waterproof. Try to spread swatches with a wet brush. I always include a few water and solvent test swatches when I make swatches, so I can see: how water resistant a brand/color is; how blendable it is; get a notion of the pigment load in the core. It is rare for a colored pencil not to be affected by water.
That makes me a bit nervous! If you do this, I would suggest you test it in a microwave you don't use for food to avoid any residual toxicity effecting food. Also, maaayyyybe only outside!
I know this is after the fact, and I enjoyed the video very much. I would LOVE a it if you all would STOP a calling us “guys”!!! You are in the south, say “YOU ALL “!! Women calling women “guys” , not respectful.. please please please stop.. thanks.
It was so interesting! Thank you very much!
I keep popping over to Jerry's, filling up my cart!!
I love Jerry’s Artarama online. Shipping is fast compared to your major competitor! They are super sloooooow. 😁
I close my eyes and see spheres. Lol . So much information. Thank you.
Love it and Emmy, but it would have been nice to see her do a colored pencil sphere and then used her favorite blending agent in the video.
Can we layer with the different base pencils ? If yes ..What is the order in which it has to be done ?

You can use a hairdryer to try Get them back together. Works nice as well to layer faster when you want more pigment at once on a layer
If water colour pencils r wax based ..it shud be hydrophobic isn't it ?
Very helpful episode, I will definitely have to try the Koh-i-Noor pencils.

@@PinkpantherLVdragon technically 'water' colour pencils shud be water friendly
Was wondering if it's wax based how it mixes with water at all
Maybe microwave for few seconds to melt wax ? 😁

Nervous energy.
