A watercolor pencil is a water-soluble pencil, which simply means that the pencil\u2019s pigment will react when activated by water. A watercolor pencil is a stunning medium that falls between drawing and watercolor painting. The majority of watercolor pencil art that you have seen will have been created using a variety of techniques. There is a range of possibilities available when working with watercolor pencils. This article will advise how to paint with watercolor pencils while also providing insight into a variety of techniques.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Before We Start<\/h2>\n<p>Before we go into detail on how to use <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/en\/best-watercolor-pencils\/\">watercolor pencils<\/a><\/strong>, we would like to define what are watercolor pencils. They are water-soluble, colored pencils. It is helpful to know this, as the way the water responds to the pencil can be quite unpredictable. One of the great things about watercolor pencils is that by adding just a small amount of water you can reactivate your marks if you feel the need to make any small changes. You need to use a relaxed approach when working with watercolor pencils, so you want to ensure you are working in a comfortable environment and have adequate time available when working through this article.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-18868\" src=\"https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/What-are-Watercolor-Pencils.jpg\" alt=\"What are Watercolor Pencils\" width=\"848\" height=\"565\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/What-are-Watercolor-Pencils.jpg 848w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/What-are-Watercolor-Pencils-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/What-are-Watercolor-Pencils-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/What-are-Watercolor-Pencils-30x20.jpg 30w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/What-are-Watercolor-Pencils-75x50.jpg 75w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/What-are-Watercolor-Pencils-110x73.jpg 110w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/What-are-Watercolor-Pencils-160x107.jpg 160w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/What-are-Watercolor-Pencils-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/What-are-Watercolor-Pencils-50x33.jpg 50w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/What-are-Watercolor-Pencils-100x67.jpg 100w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/What-are-Watercolor-Pencils-200x133.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 848px) 100vw, 848px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>The Necessary Materials<\/h3>\n<p>To begin with, you will want to ensure that you have good-quality paper to work with. Any A3 <a href=\"https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/en\/watercolor-paper\/\"><strong>watercolor paper<\/strong><\/a> is perfect and can be purchased from your local art shop, however, you want to ensure the grammage of the paper is higher than 300 GSM. If you have chosen to use watercolor paper as the medium uses water that will cause the paper to warp if you do not use good quality paper. Secondly, you will require a good-quality set of watercolor pencils. Where you are based in the world will dictate the availability of items in your local art store, but we have put together a list of useful, suggested supplies. Thirdly, you want to ensure you have some good-quality <a href=\"https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/en\/best-watercolor-brushes\/\"><strong>watercolor brushes<\/strong><\/a>. As a beginner, we recommend using acrylic paintbrushes as they will do the job. Finally, we will be doing some cutting, however, there is no need for us to recommend any specialized scissors, as any old, sharp, pair of scissors will do.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Professional-Watercolor-Assorted-Blending-Beginners\/dp\/B075KXMHQR?th=1\">Arteza<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Professional-Watercolor-Assorted-Blending-Beginners\/dp\/B075KXMHQR?th=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"> Watercolor pencils<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Sharpener<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Paintbrushes<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>HB pencil<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>300 GSM paper (or higher)<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Masking\/Scotch tape<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Ruler<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-18869\" src=\"https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Ready-to-Use-Watercolor-Pencils.jpg\" alt=\"Ready to Use Watercolor Pencils\" width=\"848\" height=\"565\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Ready-to-Use-Watercolor-Pencils.jpg 848w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Ready-to-Use-Watercolor-Pencils-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Ready-to-Use-Watercolor-Pencils-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Ready-to-Use-Watercolor-Pencils-30x20.jpg 30w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Ready-to-Use-Watercolor-Pencils-75x50.jpg 75w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Ready-to-Use-Watercolor-Pencils-110x73.jpg 110w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Ready-to-Use-Watercolor-Pencils-160x107.jpg 160w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Ready-to-Use-Watercolor-Pencils-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Ready-to-Use-Watercolor-Pencils-50x33.jpg 50w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Ready-to-Use-Watercolor-Pencils-100x67.jpg 100w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Ready-to-Use-Watercolor-Pencils-200x133.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 848px) 100vw, 848px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Preparation<\/h3>\n<p>When learning how to use watercolor pencils to paint, we want to begin by looking at the technique of using watercolor pencils drawings.

By demarcating a space to work within you will be able to work on refining your precision when you apply the watercolor pencil to the paper. Next, you can color on the right side of the square and carefully lighten the color as you move along the small demarcated area towards the left. Thanks to the pencil being water-soluble, once water is applied you can move the color with ease.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-18825\" src=\"https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Watercolor-Pencil-Technique-1c.jpg\" alt=\"Watercolor Pencil Technique 1c\" width=\"848\" height=\"568\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Watercolor-Pencil-Technique-1c.jpg 848w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Watercolor-Pencil-Technique-1c-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Watercolor-Pencil-Technique-1c-768x514.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Watercolor-Pencil-Technique-1c-30x20.jpg 30w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Watercolor-Pencil-Technique-1c-75x50.jpg 75w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Watercolor-Pencil-Technique-1c-110x74.jpg 110w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Watercolor-Pencil-Technique-1c-160x107.jpg 160w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Watercolor-Pencil-Technique-1c-500x335.jpg 500w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Watercolor-Pencil-Technique-1c-50x33.jpg 50w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Watercolor-Pencil-Technique-1c-100x67.jpg 100w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Watercolor-Pencil-Technique-1c-200x134.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 848px) 100vw, 848px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Load your brush up with water and begin painting on the darker-colored area. You need to ensure you are moving the paintbrush with a steady motion and try to fill the entire square with the blue pigment, using the paintbrush to move the color from one side to the other. Our blue square should end up filled and the whole square should have a similar tonal variety.

In this technique, you will create a small landscape to demonstrate how you can enhance the image using pen parks. You are simply using a pen to draw over your watercolor pencil painting. Use an assortment of colors to form a small tree in a landscape. Begin by forming a horizontal line, using green to create the grass-colored ground. In the center of the page continue to draw a simple tree.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-18857\" src=\"https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Watercolor-Pencil-Technique-7b.jpg\" alt=\"Watercolor Pencil Technique 7b\" width=\"848\" height=\"633\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Watercolor-Pencil-Technique-7b.jpg 848w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Watercolor-Pencil-Technique-7b-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Watercolor-Pencil-Technique-7b-768x573.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Watercolor-Pencil-Technique-7b-30x22.jpg 30w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Watercolor-Pencil-Technique-7b-75x56.jpg 75w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Watercolor-Pencil-Technique-7b-110x82.jpg 110w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Watercolor-Pencil-Technique-7b-160x119.jpg 160w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Watercolor-Pencil-Technique-7b-500x373.jpg 500w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Watercolor-Pencil-Technique-7b-50x37.jpg 50w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Watercolor-Pencil-Technique-7b-100x75.jpg 100w, https:\/\/fluid-painting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Watercolor-Pencil-Technique-7b-200x149.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 848px) 100vw, 848px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Next, you can add a sky using blue on the horizon behind the tree.
