First time I've heard the graphite's effect on the watercolor pitched not as a bug but a feature. Very helpful! As always you inspire me as a master who still loves his craft. Thanks.
I use this technique quite a lot, I think this technique can vary in a picture, your demonstration is quite nice. Thankyou
I always tell my students to avoid graphite as much as possible under watercolor.
It’s a good thing I also tell
them to break all the rules because this is fantastic!
I’m guessing colored pencil would resist the watercolor.
What a game changer this is.
Thank you for always giving such great advice and tutorials.
Colored pencil will resist but there are enough micro spaces for the wash to go through and soak into the paper, so it works fine unless you burnish the colored pencil which blocks the surface almost completely.
Oh. Your love of what you do is so appealing to me. So encouraging. Thank you so much for this beautiful demonstration.
Your work is outstanding. 🙏🏻
I was always avoiding putting too much graphite on my paper when I watercolor, but very appreciate how you not only demonstrate but explain what you're doing. I never thought of graphite as a toning element! Gorgeous swan, Steve 🤩
This is gorgeous! I love your work.
Exactly what I needed. Thank you.
This is such a wonderful tutorial! Thank you so much.
I'm loving this!

LOVE THIS STEVE!♥♥
You are an art genius! Love watching you work. Your videos are such a gift! Thank you.
I love your detailed drawings. Your subjects are so alive!
How cool! Thank you so much for sharing; I'll have to try that! Also, thank you for the verses you put at the end of your videos - I always look forward to them. Good pieces of daily bread 😊🙏 Your channel is such a blessing. Hope you have an awesome weekend!
I do that often but when I’m at school, my professors (except one) hate it. I love how it looks. I also like it with color pencils or ink (like a pen). It’s fun and I never care if it’s in the lines or not. It’s so fun.😩
Wow, that was a fantastic result. Thank you.
this is beautiful! Thank you Steve so very much.
Great concept!!!
Absolutely stunning! Thanks for this awesome drawing and painting. I enjoy doing this too. Usually works out well.
I really love this technique. Thank you for sharing it with us. I am going to give it a try. And the result is absolutely beautiful! :)
That's beautiful and love it. Thanks for that technique....😍😍
Beautiful painting. I enjoyed watching. Thank you.
This is so intriguing Steve, I am going to have to try this soon!
Wow, you're such an amazing artist, great work!
Wow. That's incredible.
That’s absolutely stunning with the drawing & painting. I have been doing something kind of like this but never realized that it was a technique that could be used. Thanks for sharing this process with us and continuing with the inspirational video. Have a great weekend Steve!
It’s such a shame we are influenced by the watercolour purists. So many channels are now showing young women making a living from the most simple techniques we would shun.
Great idea. I will try this next. Thanks for another informative tutorial.
Absolutely love this idea! Great teaching. Love illustration and this is easier than with a pen. Thank you!
Absolutely beautiful video. One of my personal all-time favorite watercolors is one I did, almost by accident, of watercolor over graphite. Thanks for qualifying this technique, Steve.
I love this! I love the vintage/sepia look!
I love doing this! I am so glad you decided to show this technique.
Great technique and Wow, a stunning drawing & painting Steve,
This is gorgeous, Steve. This is the technique I probably utilize the most.
Wonderful art work and inspiration 😍👍😍 Very thank you for sharing 😊
You've completely inspired me with yet another video. Thank you.
What a wonderful technique! I'm in love with ink and wash but now I can't wait to try this!
Beautiful. I like the graphite and water color together
Such lovely piece and a timely discussion. thank you for sharing... I love to sketch. Your limited palette with neutral tones here made my heart sing.
Your enthusiasm is contagious! I love💙 the look of this technique - going to try it!
This is amazing. I often do a outline sketch before I paint but never knew of this technique. Opens up a whole new area of painting. Thanks.
I LOVE the look too! Especially the way you do it. That organic vintage appeal of graphite muting the color is beautiful.
Que hermosa pintura, ¡gracias por compartir!
I just ❤this. More please.
Steve, thank you very much for your demonstration of the graphite and watercolor technique. You have such a natural talent with the way that you are able to explain and simplify what you are doing so that even a beginner will be able to understand the process.
So beautiful
Big help for beginners, I followed your video today and created a nice painting, thanks so much!
I started a drawing in pencil, and it has a lot of detail, and I’ve been a bit anxious about finding a medium that will work well with it.
The background has a depth of field, out of focus quality, and watercolor was what I wanted to use for that part of the picture, so I’m glad to see that it will probably work out!
✏️🖌️ love it.
thanks a lot, I enjoy very much to learn from your painting…
Beautiful, Steve. I love to draw a detailed bird and then watercolor over it. Thanks for reminding me that this is a perfectly acceptable way of painting!
Love it
What can I say? Wow! Stunning!
I just discover this technique and this video is very useful! I love the vintage look of this technique.
This blew my mind…honestly glorious….thank you so much for sharing your skill as always ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💞💞
Another great video thanks 🍺
Enjoyable video and something I’ll need to try. You always make things look so simple as I’m sure they are with lots of practice. Well, I’m off to practice.
Thanks for the video! You've inspired me to try this technique
You are awesome to watch and talking out your thought process helps me succeed without fear.
I really saw the Tips in this peice - which made this a great video for me. Thanks SM
I used to love graphite and wash when doing botanical field studies but you reminded me how much I prefer the technique and don’t have to keep it just for the field! Thanks!❤
Quite beautiful.
Thank you Steve. My favorite way to paint especially animals. Great demonstration and refresher for me. Thank you so much!
I love this technique the description of why you use it. I am a 2 year beginner and plan to use it even more now. This painting is inspirational.
wo Derrik! thanks for sharing this experience
Absolutely fascinating! 😀"A colour graphite look", a very novel technique. Especially the "half and half" technique you mentioned.
The painting is definitely better than the photo. Love it. Shows what a great draftsmanship you are. Thanks 👍
Beautiful
Great idea combining the two, I’ll have to give it a go! I generally prefer drawing, but it’s nice to splash some paint about now and then!
I do that technique... it was interesting to see someone do the same technique. Thankyou
That is just beautiful! I'm actually working on a couple of duck paintings for my son-in-law's office. It has been a huge challenge for me, because he wants the whole scene. Trees, lake, sunrise and the ducks. There aren't a lot of tutorials on ducks, so I appreciate this one that you did. I told him you get what you get this round, but I reserve the right to change them out if I do a better one in the future. Thanks for sharing this graphite and wash study, it does have a very vintage and elegant look about it!. 💕🖌🎨
Nice work 👌.
A great technique to combine detail drawing with a w/c wash
That was amazing! I couldn't draw a goose if my life depended on it but adding detail to abstract drawings could help with decision making while painting. Thanks for the inspiration!!
Beautiful painting!
My favorite has always been graphite drawing with pastel, it comes out looking very much the same as your goose here.
lovely
I like the sentence you spoke is training the eyes ,it must .
Like Colleen I have been doing this on & off but feared committing, you have now reinforced my belief in this system, thank you very much.
Lovely. I see many watercolor artists trace the outline directly from a picture. Very nice to see that you draw for real.
Thanks for noticing. Probably my favorite part.
I would love to see more of this style. I've been wanting to learn more, but there is so little of it on youtube.
I love this! Its what I've been wanting to do but didn't know what to do or how it would turn out. Thank you!
Thanks perfect
Thank you for sharing this. I really enjoyed watching the process. This is something I will have to try with my illustrations. I tend to let them be with flat washes with ink outline because I can't visualize the shadows and highlights from the get go. Working with a transparent medium is definitely a whole different game compared to opaque.
I have used this approach for a full landscape/seascape painting where I had a fully developed drawing then glazed over with watercolour. I tried this after seeing Mario Robinson using a grisaille as the initiation for his watercolours (though his grisaille was painted using a gray mix of ultramarine and burnt umber). I wasn't sure it'd work with pencil, expecting perhaps the pencil would act a a resist to the watercolour, nor had I realised that other people do this. I thought my result was good (the painting sold, so others must have thought so too!) I think, as you suggest, this would be a great method for beginners, but it's also an approach that those more experienced should experiment with too.
I have been learning how to play with watercolour for about 2 years now, and lately feel like I've hit a plateau in my interest and ability. However I saw a video about watercolour over graphite; basic wash over lines, like pen and wash. But this video has blown my mind. I too love drawing and love watercolour. Eureka, I have found a new path to explore. Thank you all the way from Canada for this video and this goose!!
