FAQs

1. How do I use watercolour pencils?

Ans - Activate the surface with water, layer, and mix colours. Perform a little experiment by using the pigment of colour straightaway from the pencil tip.

2. How to blend colour pencils?

Ans - We can blend the coloured pencils by using the layering approach or by brushing the colours that need to be mixed using a solvent like odourless mineral spirits. Apply the light pressure while using the light colours in the beginning. After you have built the pressure, you will see that the pigments will commence crushing, leading to their mixing into a paper tooth. As a result, you will get smooth layer gradients and mixtures. Use a fixative to avoid the current colours mixing into your previous layers of colours.

3. How to use colour pencils?

Ans - Start by drawing lines to structure the shape and use a cross-hatching process where you draw multiple lines in a random direction. Use the pencil pressure technique for darker & lighter shades. Continue with the colouring, layering, and blending process.

Ans - You need to start the process with an outline, layering & detailing at the end. Go from light to dark tones of colour, using the light touch & light layers of colours.
