Beautiful rendering! Watercolor pencils definitely have a flavor of their own. Nothing quite like them. I wonder, and am going to try them, using your "pre-wash" technique with pan/tube colors first and see how that works out. Interesting. ThanQ for sharing.
Beautiful painting as always :) I love to hear your thoughts while you're painting too. A suggestion for next videos: Love your paintings of beautiful buildings I've seen so far, maybe you could do some of a wall with a window and plants or a door or a beautiful house instead of a shop. Also, I've been curious while watching your videos about your artistic journey, maybe you could share that story in next videos while painting. Thank you for sharing your talent!
I had to thanks you . i started to paint after saw your video (i have some experience on painting but not watercolor ) My grandma who passed away like to paint watercolor , and i feel better to follow her path . (sorry for my english , not my language )
I never really knew how to use my watercolour pencils, this is a really good demonstration, I should try pencils again, I think I was trying to use them in a way too similar to watercolours 🤔
She used the Derwent pencils in this video. They are very different from the watercolors. Derwent pencils are ink based and do not move well when they begin drying, due to ink based pencils begin staining once activated. There is a real difference between watercolor pencils and these. I use my Derwent pencils to do washes and keep in mind once they are activated you need to move very quickly. They cannot be moved around or reactivated like watercolor since they are ink based.
My Faber Castell Albrecht Dürer watercolour pencils behave like watercolour paint ie. They can be rewetted and moved. These Academy pencils look like dull versions of the Derwent Inktense range, which are actually dyes. Which might explain these Academy pencils' modest price and permanence once dry. I'd be interested if anyone else agrees?
As I review this video again, it’s difficult to determine if you did a light pencil sketch of the flower bed at the very beginning. Also the water pen looks promising but I’m limited by budget and access to shopping. A good watercolour brush is so important.
I have two sets of watercolor, pencils, and, like you, I rarely use them. But with all my experimentation, I feel like they are best used to enhance normal work. You should try using your brush to pull the pigment off the pencil and then paint like regular watercolor, rather than using them like color pencils. They differ from regular color pencils, so much and trying to color with them first then wet them has never worked for me. Thanks for sharing. I would love to see you try the same subject but with using your wet brush on the pencil like regular watercolor I think you would be surprised how well it works.
Yes, I do see that it can enhance normal work pretty well. Thanks for the recommendation, I did shy away from pulling pigment off the pencil and using it like normal watercolour, seems like it is more convenient to just use normal watercolor 😂 but I will try it out sometime!
very helpful….I like to see how you handle the same idiosyncrasies of watercolour pencils that I have found a bit off-putting 😮. Thanks for including every step that you had to take.
This is beautiful, did you know if you feel you've gone too saturated when activating the pencil, if you really wet the area before it dries and blot with tissues you can lift alot of the pigment off. If you want to try different watercolour pencils i can personally recommend the Faber-Castell albrecht durer a higher quality watercolour pencil orbif you want vibrant derwent inktense are stunning x
Hey there, thanks! Yes, once they fully dried, I realised I should have used a tissue paper earlier for this one! Thanks for the recommendations as well, would love to buy better quality pencils once budget allows❤️
Patty-I have found that Albrect Durer pencils are more pigmented when activated. I love your picture. I'm glad you showed us a different way to use watercolor pencils. So many people stay away from using them. 👍🏽
Thanks for the tip! I did consider getting better quality pencils, but I want to make sure I like using pencils enough first. They are tricky to use, so I guess that’s why most people stay away?🤔
@Jillee Arts good point. I started collecting the Derwent first because I didn't know about the other brand. I wasn't happy with the result, so I stopped and started collecting AD. I'm a happy camper now. I am going to try your method and see how that works, I'm certain it will turn out fine. I love your picture so much.
Derwent pencils are not watercolor pencils but rather ink pencils. There is a real difference between watercolor pencils and the Derwent ones. I use my Derwent pencils to do washes and keep in mind once they are activated you need to move very quickly. They cannot be moved around or reactivated like watercolor since it is ink based.
Interesting, I thought only Derwent Inktense is Ink based and not Derwent academy, but I agree, you do need to move very quickly for these and they cannot be moved around much.
@@JilleeArts If you look up the difference, the company uses two types of core on these pencils. I will quote one of the articles here: "Both pencils are highly blendable but the formulation of each pencil varies. The softer formulation of Watercolour makes for easy transfer to paper, whilst Inktense has a harder, waxier laydown. Inktense cores are also slightly thicker and feel chunkier to hold." They both contain the same pigment types though, and the watercolor pencils are somewhat reworkable, where the inktense pencils are not. I have both and use both and can definitely tell you there is a difference. I do enjoy these pencils and have learned how to use them. I have to tell you I love the Inktense pencils for washes for pastel paintings!

Like you I'm learning as I go while it's a first time using pencils. Certainly enjoying myself.😊❤️❤️❤️
I just love your paintings... they r mind blowing!! Seems like I've to learn a lot from you❤
Thank you so much🥹❤️❤️
Thank you ,We want a video on how to draw for beginners, and where do we start? If possible, thanks again
🌻
How to draw for beginners, alright! I will try to make more beginner videos❤️

Thank you for your suggestions! ❤️ there are so many, I need to keep up😂❤️
Jillee, what a beautiful painting and I always enjoy what you bring to us. I love the fact your showing us views of pics you take on vacation.
Thank you Laura, I’m so glad you like them. ☺️☺️
I had to thanks you . i started to paint after saw your video
(i have some experience on painting but not watercolor )
My grandma who passed away like to paint watercolor , and i feel better to follow her path .
(sorry for my english , not my language )
Sorry to hear that, but glad you feel better after painting, I understand that feeling 💗
I never really knew how to use my watercolour pencils, this is a really good demonstration, I should try pencils again, I think I was trying to use them in a way too similar to watercolours 🤔
Indeed, not many people teach about them either. So it’s ok, we can experiment more with them, and most important is to have fun🌟😄

@@lumindina699 She's not using the Derwent Inktense pencils here -- she's using the regular Derwent watercolor pencils.

Sure thing! Just sharing my experience with them, glad you found it helpful🤗
I think you can safely add ASMR to the video title. You're so relaxing
Really? I feel like I need to up my game to categorise as Asmr, but thank you so much ☺️ 💕💕
