Watercolour Pencil: Three different ways

August 12, 2024 | 7 Comments


Last Wednesday I did three sketches – each using watercolour pencil (Albrecht Durer by Faber Castell) and each used a different method.

1. Morning coffee: watercolour pencil first, watercolour second


2. The Rocks (while sipping my afternoon coffee) watercolour pencil shapes first, then ink, then more watercolour pencil (WCP). As I only had 10 minutes to do the sketch I kept the WCPs dry.


3. The Garrison Church. A few watery watercolour shapes first, then WCP into dry, damp or wet areas, a little more watercolour then a little more WCP.


Here is a photo of the first very loose and watery washes


And another photo of the final version.

Watercolour pencil are so versatile!

I’m going to be sharing more WCP work and techniques as I gear up for my Travel Sketching course… and also because this year’s Colour4Life event run from Faber Castell Australia is on again.
