Watercolor Pencil Techniques- Watercolor Pencil Demonstration
Watercolor pencils are unique. Watercolor pencils are a medium that give the artist the best of both worlds of painting and drawing. They are similar to colored pencils but behave differently when water is added. This is because colored pencil pigment is held by a waxy or oil-based binder, while watercolor pencils have a water soluble binder. When water is applied to areas where watercolor pencils have been used, a watercolor effect is achieved. Therefore, traditional watercolor techniques can be applied. Watercolor pencils should be applied to watercolor paper or a heavy board such as illustration board. Watercolor pencils are inexpensive and portable giving them an advantage over traditional watercolors.
