Watercolor Pencils



This is a picture I did of a friend who is currently serving in Afghanistan. He's a good guy and I miss him. I use to work with him at Discovery Alternative School.


Now for a little discussion about watercolor pencils. I do have a preference in this area. I for the majority of the time use the Derwent Brand of pencil. They have the inktense which is almost like oil after it is dry. There is also the standard watercolor pencil and the professional grade. I do use a variety Derwent products including the Aqua Tone, and Metallic pencils. I sometimes use some off brands for filling in backgrounds. I have used the prismatic pencil in the past but find that the lead in the pencils breaks very easily and this is frustrating. I hope you find this interesting.
