    Love your comments to all the "haters". Some people aren't here to learn and you just can't reach them. I stumbled across your videos and they are wonderful. Honest and interesting with a no nonsense attitude. Keep up the great work.

    I am a graphite sketcher, i picked up color pencils to see if i can do color pencil sketches only to find out that the pencil i picked up were lyra water soluble... but instead of regretting my expensive purchase you have made me think of it as a lucky pick and made me fall in love with water color pencil... hope my art comes out well! Thanks for such amazing channel !

    I love my watercolor pencils! They have replaced my travel pan for sketching outdoors. Great tips! Took me way too long to figure out I could wet the brush on the pencil to get my color! Thank you Charles!

    This couldn’t have come at a better time! I just received your book “Quick & Clever Watercolor Pencils” today! It’s amazing information. Still waiting on the “Pocketbook” to get here, can hardly wait for its arrival. I can’t tell you how much I enjoy watching you paint! Every painting is amazing. Starting tomorrow with the pencils and working through the lessons. Thank you so much for all you do!

    Hi Charles... A great video. I've aways painted in oils for many years and since watching your videos realize that using water colour saves so much time when apposed to waiting for layers of oil paint to dry. At the age of 77 the clock is ticking but I now continue to pump out more paintings and enjoy using water colours. Thanks for your excellent tutorial

    • @charlesevans7706

The sharpener just frustrated me anyway lol. That was an awesome quick painting too btw. I’m going to go grab my pencils right now😁

  • @martinwebb3394
    @martinwebb3394 ปีที่แล้ว

    I followed your advice a bought a set of Lyra Rembrandt pencils like you use - they made a huge difference. Also, the technique of getting paint from the pencil with a wet brush to paint the sky rather than scribbling with pencil worked much better and gave a much more consistent and even colour. I learnt so much in just 20 minutes of video and I now have two paintings I'm quite proud of now (the other being mountains and lake). I'm going to see what other watercolour pencil tutorials you have and have a go of these. And the "Christmas Bundle" I ordered from your website (for my Christmas present off my wife) arrived the other day so I can try some proper landscape painting in the New Year! Thank you SO MUCH - this has given me a huge amount of pleasure.
    P.S. I love the way you wipe your brushes on your sleeve - you're a "proper" artist !(Ha ha)

  • @deniellewest9825

  • @dennismoules6631
    @dennismoules6631 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    This is a fascinating video on the way to use watercolor pencils thank you, as a person that has come back to art now that I have retired I am exploring a number of options but watercolor is still my personal favourite medium.
    Finding that these pencils can be used this way is fantastic.
    Will be investing in a new set of pencils very soon. Do have a very cheap limited set which will do for now.
    Love your demonstrations and the way you explain everything thank you for these videos, of to the easel to have a crack and experiment with pens and watercolor pencils.

    I always though water colors and water color pencils are not for my type. I did a few very small water color paintings and some more water color pencil small paintings.
    But most of the time I used my Derwent watercolor set just for color pencil drawings only.
    Seeing you now I feel like venturing into water zone with or without pencils. You are very natural teacher
    who can inspire in a very easy way.
    Thank you for your nice tutorials.

    I've been looking to learn how to paint landscapes in watercolor, and I've got curious about watercolor pencils because of their ease of use and portability. This was just what I was looking for! BTW, I got myself a copy of your book "Quick & Clever Watercolour Pencils" from the Kindle store. I'm definitely having a look at it next. Would you be doing any more videos on watercolor pencils in the future? Maybe one that involves some quick shapes of people in it? Once again, thank you very much, Charles!!

  • @bobadkins7377
    @bobadkins7377 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Nice one. I have not tried the pencils yet, but right off the reel that tip about scratching in the sky part and leaving lines, that’s good. I know that I would have begun by scratching it in dry instead of taking it from the pencil with a brush. As winter approaches all these good free instructions are very good. Thank you.

    Thanks once again for a great lesson Charles. The good thing about these demonstrations is the granddaughter gets involved as she loves the instant results. I’ve been using the pencils to doodle some of the outlines in your book Boats and Harbours. Helps with drawing skills as well. Greatly appreciated your time and effort in keeping us a sane during these strange times and yes totally agree, get out more lol.
    Take care.
