👋 Paintingandchocolate, for a long time, I felt inclined to art, but now I feel that I can dedicate hours to painting, I'm starting with watercolor, I also read your description and I can relate to that too, do you have a complete list of the articles I can buy to start with the right foot into watercolor? I have done some research and got some Myartscape tracing paper I love that name too, Graphite Transfer same brand, Princeton watercolor brushes, white art tape, and Kuretake Gansai 48 colors, now are those colors worth the price? I don't know what paper to have for watercolor can you help me with that? Also for you have courses too? Thank you for your videos of pencils for watercolor, I do not know how to handle those
I don’t know of anyone else who can use color pencils the way you do. The realism and texture is the signature of your talent. It is always an event for me to watch you paint from beginning to end. I look forward to more, pencils or paint, as long as it is you. 🙏🏼♥️🎄
Happy to know this will help, it's been killing me how hard it is to find information about these since I also had my first inktense box for 2 years without ever using it.
Many many thanks for your expertise and your TALENT! I bought watercolor pencils during Covid because I desperately needed a creative outlet during those dark days. But I never touched them because I was a beginner and too intimidated by the process. You have given me Hope! I’m going to open my lovely box (I bought a large one!) and dive in. I can’t thank you enough for all you do and I have subbed and look to a bright future in this new (for me) medium!❤
This makes me so happy! I too didnt know what to do with them at first so I am glad to know this helps! I have a whole bunch of videos about them here on RUclips to help and inspire you further, I'm excited for you to get started with them and have fun 😀
Love your landscape, the Inktense pencils are truly amazing. I just bought a set of them and I am enjoying how the colour bursts when water is added. Your tutorial is really helpful.
I switched to watercolor pencils from acrylic because I lost mobility. Pencils are easier on my arms than gloppy paint. Your first technique with drawing on the rough pallet is a HUGE GAME CHANGER for me! So excited to try it!
I'm relieved I am not the only one wondering about this question 😆. Thanks for pointing out the differences! Glad this video came out on Black Week, the Inktense are just on discount and I ordered some for this class 🙃.
I just got a lot of Inktense! Pans and pencils 🎉 I intend to use them with my watercolor as I layer so much and lifting is so frustrating! Three layers of Inktense and there's plenty of room to finish off with watercolor 🎉 thank you so much 💕 I subbed ❤🎉
Excellent demo and explanations -- thank you! It might be worthwhile to mention the specific paper you use with Inktense, especially the initial wet-in-wet step. I have used them on some good papers that are not 100% cotton, and they do not flow well at all. I have a hard time using them on anything but 100% cotton papers.
Thank you for your videos, I learn something every time. Your painting in this video is magical. I have had the Inktense pencils for a few years and wasn't sure how to use them, I am excited to try this new technique. Blessings! Patti
Another huge benefit of Inktense pencils is that they are permanent when the pigment is fully disolved (like Francois showed by activating them with water on her plastic pallette), and left to dry completely, so you can do the underpainting which will not lift, unlike the traditional watercolor where the next layer will be lifted if pigments used are not of the staining kind, or when the brush is not soft enough, or if you apply more brush pressure than absolutely necessary, being a beginner. I find this to be a huge advantage for us beginners :). Money saving tip: Caran d'Ache plastic pallete does not have to be used at all. You can use cheap, plastic chopping boards which have a rough surface and they work like a charm, both for inktense pencils and blocks, and for Caran d'Ache watersoluble wax pastels Neocolor II.
i've just taken up water colour painting/drawing and use both paints and pencils in the same pieces. i like the pencils as I can get a really sharp point for detailed things, like bird feathers.
Your work with watercolor pencils is absolutely beautiful! I love the Inktense color pencils best because once dry they won't reactivate which makes it easy for me to layer (but you can't lift the ink so easy).😄 Thank you so much for the great tips and techniques.
I came across your video today and I think it is wonderful. I love to color with pencils and I’m just now learning to watercolor. I’ve been interested in the inktense pencils for some time now. I’m even more interested now. And I subscribed!
Wow! Absolutely beautiful! I have loved these pencils and blocks since I discovered them and you have just showed me something I didn't even know I needed to learn, thank you!
Smooth like hot press watercolor paper, or cold press but with a smoother tooth (some are more rough, some smoother), even thick drawing paper work well. I did a video about it (look for the cherries in my watercolor pencil playlist).
You’ve made me want to have another try with my Inktense and watercolour pencils. I’ve ordered the palette you use but will have to wait a week or so for delivery 😢. Quick question re Patreon. Do your subscription payment dates run from 1st of each month or from the date joined (ie every 26th of the month). If the former I’ll wait until 1st December 😊. Thank you.
The benefit and drawback to watercolor pencils are that they add texture. For wood, etc. they are simply fabulous and can produce texture that is hard to do in watercolor paint. Besides, it is fun.
I love all the gorgeous bright colours you used, it's a beautiful little painting. Inktense are one of my absolute favourite mediums and can be used on so many different surfaces. I have a selection of a few inktense videos in a playlist where I have used it on fabric, here's a link if any one is interested: ruclips.net/p/PLWGujTWoZXNCKXxghmLsK3wpr5jQiyuBu Thankyou for sharing😊🌺
While I admire the outcome, jumping from one medium to another in the hopes of mastery has not worked for me in the past. I so want to be proficient at traditional watercolour and I feel I can only do that if I stay focussed.
If that is what feels best then yes you should go for it. As a pencil lover first, I do enjoy this tool that stands between pencil and watercolor but it can be different for someone else. And it''s strange how we can get stuck for a while, with watercolor or something else, and then, a level unlocks,.and so on. If you keep at it you will improve no matter what.
Hallo, ich mag Deine Videos, aber ich verstehe leider nicht so viel. Könntest du Deinen Kanal so einstellen, dass er auch auf Deutsch übersetzt im Untertitel ?. Das würde mich sehr freuen. Danke
Thank you! I use watercolor pencils even more than this and they come out super smooth too (an example is the mushroom painting I showed towards the beginning and also the video I linked at the end).

@@Elisheva333she never answered you 😢 the Kuretaki Gansi colors are wonderful and I hope you are doing well in your watercolor journey ❤

Thank you, this is such a nice compliment and very motivating to keep studying all the mediums.
I’ve had these pencils for about 10 years and knew I wasn’t using them to their potential. Thank you!
Happy to know this will help, it's been killing me how hard it is to find information about these since I also had my first inktense box for 2 years without ever using it.
So simple, so dificult, so Very, Very beautiful. I am happy to find you! Many greetings from Czech country. ❤❤❤
Thank you for the sweet message

I understand, I have the same issue with pencils
this is a stunning tip for a stunning piece ❤❤❤
Thank you! 🙂
So good! Loved seeing the whole process from start to finish. The pencils really bring wonderful texture to the last layer. Thanks!
I'm glad you enjoyed the process, thank you for letting me know 🙂
LOOOVE Inktense! I use the Intense blocks to get more color on the palette.
I still haven't tried those!
I'm relieved I am not the only one wondering about this question 😆. Thanks for pointing out the differences! Glad this video came out on Black Week, the Inktense are just on discount and I ordered some for this class 🙃.
Hi Silke,
Yes, quite a few people asked 🙂 i'm glad you can get these pencils with a discount!

Good point! It was the object of not the last video before that but the one prior, I also prefer 100% cotton papers.
Thank you for your videos, I learn something every time. Your painting in this video is magical. I have had the Inktense pencils for a few years and wasn't sure how to use them, I am excited to try this new technique. Blessings! Patti

I'm happy to hear they do, thank you !
THANK YOU SO MUCH I HAVE BRAND NEW WATERCOLORS PENCIL FOR LONG TIME I WASNT USING THEM AND TO PUT A BIG DESIRE ONM ME TO DO WATERCOLORS AGAING GBYSM
I'm glad this was helpful then 🙂
I love having alternatives when creating art. Thank you for sharing, you’ve taught me some new ways of using these pencils.
Glad this was useful 🙂
I find that I want the control of a pencil but I like the look of a watercolor the best of both worlds! Who knew!
Yes it's great!
Very beautiful ❤
Thank you !
What paper do you suggest for this technique?
Smooth like hot press watercolor paper, or cold press but with a smoother tooth (some are more rough, some smoother), even thick drawing paper work well. I did a video about it (look for the cherries in my watercolor pencil playlist).
I noticed that the inktense don't seem to bloom as readily as watercolour. That could possibly be one of the benefits.
I also find that overall, there is more control 🙂

I'm glad you will give them another try 🙂 For Patreon, it renews on the date of your subscription, which means you can join whenever you like.
Thank you.

Nice techniques shared here
Thank you for your kind feedback 🙂
so nice ❤😍😍

Do you use black watersoluble pencils/inktense? Thanks!
Here it's Inktense

Those Derwent Inktense are really ink though, not watercolour, but I guess it doesn't matter.

A bright underpainting can be a very good thing 😢
A beautiful painting but it's not watercolour... its ink & will always be smother than any pencils.
Thank you! I use watercolor pencils even more than this and they come out super smooth too (an example is the mushroom painting I showed towards the beginning and also the video I linked at the end).
Your forgetting the best tip, Inktense are waterproof after drying.
Yes because I have found time and time again it is not. It depends on the paper that was used (I know the brand says it is though!)
