Hey! Happy Saturday! In today's video I will finally cover some more questions you had about watercolor pencils, markers and sticks/crayons, so I hope it will be helpful for you!
Makocinno, how did u, once again, know that I needed this video, literally, I was staring at watercolors pencils two days ago having barely any clue about them and wondering whether or not I should try them out😂😂😂
Another use for watercolor pencils! (For the 2% that'll see this hah) Have you ever made a sketch, lightly erased it, and then put watercolor over it? Sometimes the erasing doesn't help, and it shows through. Instead of sketching with your regular pencil, use watercolor pencils! I recommend using watercolor pencil colors that will go with your watercolor palette.
I have 4 of the Daniel Smith watercolor sticks. I don't use them often; but, have tried them by scribbling them onto my palette and using them that way. I have also used them by touching a wet brush to the stick. Either way works for me. I think it is the type of paper that I use; but, I don't find the sticks will rewet very well if I use a dry stick directly on dry paper. But, if I use a baby wipe to blend the color out, it does blend out really well.
Thanks for these comparisons! 😁👍 I love how you not only say what the obvious difference is, but you also give tips so we can be aware of other things to consider when purchasing & using a product.
for me, watercolor pencils have been a great learrning tool! I bought a watercolor coloring book a while ago, and since i had never done watercolor, I got a set of watercolor pencils to begin with. Eventually, after completing some of the coloring book and feeling more confident I've been wanting to move onto using regular watercolor because it's simply more versatile. In my very limited/beginner experience, the watercolor pencils are great for small coloring and detailed stuff. I usually paint as if with regular pencils, then add the water and if i need more pigment, you can paint (carefully) on top while it's still wet and then smudge and it looks pretty fine ☺ Thank you for sharing this information, it was very useful 💕
I had never heard of watercolor crayons , before this video . Loved this video though,i love everything related to watercolors. And ofcourse I love all videos u are in. ❤✌😂
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!! They really helped me so much in my watercolour paintings and helped me understand the things I was doing wrong so I could improve my art. Please continue making SUCH helpful tip videos💙💙💙
thanks I recently bought a DS stick because the regular watercolor was out and was not certain how to use. Now that I know I can break it and make it into a pan I am stoked.
I absolutely love my Tombow dual tip brush markers because I bought the complete set as it was on extreme sale. I've been using them like watercolor paints and for calligraphy.
#makoficationsquad Thank you for the thought in this video! I always have so much watercolors: pencils, brush pens, and pans. 💗💗💗 And I enjoyed using them!
Hello Mako. I never heard of watercolor brushes but I am eager to look more into that and to tell some of my friends, I’ve seen on your instagram story that you have an Apple Pencil and that you are using Procreate. How do you like it? I have an Apple Pencil and I draw a lot on it, it’s so fun 😄 and I hope you enjoy it just like I do Love and I wish you and your family and friends a happy weekend and full of art
This video really helped. I bought some watercolor pencils a couple of days ago and these tips are great for beginners. I use watercolor paint often too!
I wasn't comfortable with watercolors so I decided to start with watercolor pencils and I really loved them. Now I am thinking to move for watercolor pans.
I always use watercolour pencils for creating textures...they really help a lot and also I love layering them for mixing to create different colours 😁❤️
I know I'm late but this was really helpful as I got watercolor markers in a birthday present but had no idea how to use them but with this video I know how to make good use of them in my paintings so basically I wanted to say thank you for making this video.😁
Wow yes, I want to try the stick version! I hope I can found it here in my country. I just bought a watercolor pocket edition just days ago but well, I can't get enough of watercolors in my desk
I've found that most "watercolor" markers are made from dye inks that are not lightfast like pigments, so are more prone to fading. After having several brands of markers, like tombow and ecoline, all do a disappearing act I stopped using them. Definitely sad when you put art on the wall, or even make a greeting card that was set upright on a desk in a room with window light, just to see the colors fade away over a month :(
Yes totally! It's fine if you scan your work but it's awful for displaying it! Faber castell markers on the other hand are supposed to be lightfast so I'm intrigued!
The Winsor & Newton markers are supposed to be lightfast--I have a couple of them, should do a lightfastness test (like Kimberly does--thanks!) and test them someday. They're great for easy signatures on watercolors. The Faber Castell sound interesting, thanks for the tip!
Personally I find that the best method with watercolour crayons is to have a separate sheet of watercolour paper as a "pallet" and scribble a thick thumbnail-sized amount of the crayon, dissolve it into the right consistency depending on how watery you want it, and then transfer it to the artwork. It works quite well with either a small/tiny amount of water and a large amount of water, and although you do end up wasting a watercolour paper I do find the result a lot more enjoyable than trying to get the pigment off the crayon directly or applying the crayon dry and then dissolving it
Your videos are so informative and full of random, unrelated ads. Like, isn't there a way for you to tell RUclips to at least keep the ads related to art products and processes?
Hi mako.........i love your videos very much...... ☺ You are the best art youtuber... 😇 You help a lot in improving my art ........ Thanks mako for such helpful videos..🤗
As an artist, I really enjoy watching your videos, but mostly because of your personality and how inspiring you are as a person. All the tips are a definite bonus, too! May I ask what your accent is? It's beautiful! (Not hitting on you, by the way! I'm a happily married lady:)
My favorites are neocolor 2 and Derwent inktense; not really defined as watercolors, one is a watersoluble pastel the other a watersoluble acrylic ink. Just got into the watercolor markers this week, they have their own personality and appearance and in my opinion work better without water than with it.
Late Reply : Maybe try not have very high expectations, your expectations are too high and so, when you mess up you hate them because it didn't match your expectations. Remember that you are a beginner and that whatever you do, or create does not have to be perfect. Try to not look for perfection.
I use watercolour pencils for pre-paint sketching mainly nowadays, instead of normal black pencil, so the lines dissolves in paint afterwards and get erased by themselves. Another use for them is sometimes when I want a very pigmented and even area but don't have or don't want to use gouache, I use them in thick opaque layers and then apply a bit of water to smooth the lines out. They're not very expensive so it makes me less guilty of using them extensively for this compared to my pricey extra-fine watercolors XD They also have the advantages of not requiring a mixing palette, staying clean afterwards, not needing special storing care (unlike my palettes which need to stay clear of dust or cat hairs etc) and being very travel-compatible ! I still prefer the feel of my real watercolors and gouache though ;)
hi mako! i started to love to do painting recently and i dont have much supplies so can you tell me where can i get a little cheap supplies and also tell me where to get white pens
I have something called watercolor sticks that are smooth on the barrel instead of wood, but the size and shape are like colored pencils. No brand is listed. Could these be watercolor pencils too? They seem like a combo of pencils and crayons when coloring dry.

AMAZING AS USUAL
yessssss!!!!!!

Happy Saturday to you too Mako!
It's very helpful video
*Could you please do more oil pastel art? I got some for Christmas and I don't know what I am doing*
Oil pastels are the devil 😈
Check the art arena channel..it's the best
@@yomomz3921 yea after using it my hands could be used for chirstmas decoration
You can also use a Blending Stump to bland the colors together.
I've been using them for years now, and you can do amazing things with them. Just makebsure to use something to protect your table/surface
Makocinno, how did u, once again, know that I needed this video, literally, I was staring at watercolors pencils two days ago having barely any clue about them and wondering whether or not I should try them out😂😂😂
Aww haha

Yes!! I would prefer that too!
You should be an art teacher! 😂😁

I love both the markers and the watercolor pencils because of how easily I can layer my colors before adding water
Thanks for these comparisons! 😁👍
I love how you not only say what the obvious difference is, but you also give tips so we can be aware of other things to consider when purchasing & using a product.
It was very helpful because my brother bought me some water color pencils and I wanted to try new techniques with 'em.... Love from India
Dhruv Goel mmmmmhh art
Something which I love about her is that her content is crisp and she never talks about unwanted stuff. Quality content. Keep it up sister

That's such a smart idea!! Thank you so much for sharing!
Well, seems it's time to dust off my faber-castell pencils!
Please do more art journal of water color or pencils please!!
And what paper you use can make a huge difference. There are watetsoluble graphite pencils also.
U are so so so very good at everything and helpful
Can you make a difference between hot pressed, cold pressed, and rough watercolor paper?
Your videos are so informative and full of random, unrelated ads. Like, isn't there a way for you to tell RUclips to at least keep the ads related to art products and processes?
Hi mako.........i love your videos very much...... ☺

What is the difference between the watercolour sticks and watercolour pastels (they're like the oil pastel sticks, but not oil pastels).
Thank you
