Now in my 50s and just bought my first palette of watercolours since last using them at school. Thank-you for this lovely video - this will be the first exercise I attempt with my new paints! Can I ask which type of pencil lead you recommended for the undersketching please? Is it just standard HB 0.5 m or should we use something wider and softer with watercolour? 🎨 😊

Hi! Well done for starting a new creative hobby! So glad that this video was helpful to you 🤍
In regard to what kind of graphite lead to use - it’s quite personal, but the ‘harder’ it is the more damage it will do to the paper and it will be harder to erase. I tend to use HB or 2B in 0.5 as my go-to and don’t run into many problems 🙏🕺
