Buy Watercolor Pencils

Watercolor pencils are another possibility to colour art and even to sketch with if you are a confident artist, they look exactly like normal colour pencils, except they are water soluble and once drawn on the papers surface can be spread out with a paintbrush that has been dipped in water. Certainly they are an ideal medium as you can control where you put the colour more than just doing it with a brush at first, it's a way of setting up the areas that you want coloured and then flesh it out when you apply the water.

I buy the really cheap watercolor pencils because I'm a tight git and we in the UK have a pound shop,(which would be much similar to the American dollar stores) which seems to be the budget central of some great art equipment at times with the 151 range of drawing pencils and watercolour pencils.

I've experimented with watercolor pencils on some drawings, mainly experimenting with colour and how you can wash colours over one another and blend them together that sort of thing, but these pencils are only an option as most artists may have these pencils but never use them and would more than likely use the actual watercolour paints instead.

What's good about watercolour pencils is that you can scribble the colour on and worry about the neatness of your work later when you come to apply the water to your coloured areas.
