In this video I used M. Graham tube watercolors, made with honey, and Silver Black Velvet brushes, sent to me by Darvoid a while ago (thank you again!). Also I used Prismacolor colored pencils, and Strathmore cold press watercolor paper. In the past I've used much more expensive Arches paper, but I couldn't find it for this video. However, the cheaper Strathmore paper seemed to work absolutely fine.
I got the cool water cup from the NC Museum of Art in Raleigh, NC.

Every painting has an "ugly" stage, more so that other mediums. IMO the difference between beginning artists and experienced ones is pushing past that stage, adding more contrast and form until it's no longer flat and boring. That's my favorite thing about art, the transformation 😊
Is anyone else completely transfixed by that green bar in the back thats jumping to the sounds of Peter?
you like blinking lights, eh?
@@indoorgangster yeah.. ever since that donkey kicked me in the back of the head..
i noticed it in the last video as well and couldn’t stop watching it
Actually I was distracted by that pink-purple-aura-thingy on the wall behind Peter 😵💫
Nope
Yes, having just enough perfectionism to ensure top quality work, but not so much as to create reluctance, thinking it won't be good enough. But when you engage long enough with the work then the precious flow creates a perfect work of art
Haha. Be careful doing this with morning coffee. I always confuse my watercolor water with coffee. Dipping my brush in coffee, sipping the water color water.
That's beautiful. It's art that quiets my brain just looking at.
Absolutely in love with the outcome!!! I’d love more watercolour/colour pencil videos if you’re happy making them!
Looks like a still life of afternoon tea on the planet Zorp
I love Zorp in the summertime.
Sipping the water out of the water pen really got me
One of my favorite paintings from you was your first watercolor! I got a HUGE print of it hanging in my hallway and it’s been there for about 4 years
Peter you do know that you can get water colour Pencils also ....right. and they combine lovely .look forward to maybe seeing this mixture soon.:)
I completely understand what you're talking about when you say you don't want to pressure yourself to create a piece of art. Just relaxing and creating is the fun. Love your personality and artwork!
I like you man, and I like your commentary. I can find myself in it. And watching you create stuff and listening to your voice calms me🙃
I've had the first time in my life for a few months now that I'm lacking any inspiration to make anything at all. After seeing your video I see something more clear that I just have to start and see where I end up. Thank you for that.
Peter Palm.
Watercolor and colored pencils are the perfect marriage. Another great way to blend wax pencils with watercolor is to use Alcohol (on a cotton swab or another paintbrush), or those colorless blenders that always come with alcohol markers. I've even used Gamsol, that gives it a little bit of a "painterly" edge to it.
* If you do these blending techniques be sure that you use 100% cotton paper or it's a bust. Your paper will mos def nope out on anything less.
100%! Do what Mummy says!
Oh wow....lols? Peter, I get hiccups when I am excited about something. I almost felt them coming upon me when you opened and showed your colored pencils (I have the same set). AND THEN, I just knew here it comes, the hiccups feeling!? Because then, you said you were going to water color!? It's my favorite art medium, next to pottery thrown clay - that can be dried, pre-fired, painted, and then fired in a kiln. That medium you will love in your new classes I think I recall you sharing. No hiccups though? BUT, you made a beautiful piece of water colored and pencil art. And that made me smile! 😃
Love to watch Peter explore other mediums. Amazing work! ☺️
The editing touch while you were laying down the tape was a nice touch. Excellent work Peter!
The sound of the tape coming off the roll is delicious!
my sister got me a quill pen and an italian leather sketchbook in italy and i’ve been obsessed ever since. the notebook smells so leathery it’s soothing.
That is really cool. Enjoy.
Man, Darvoid hooked you up on the watercolors!
He inspired me to do art. It's the least I could do.
Because you're used to working with black ink your proces is different. With watercolors and colorpencils you have to layer. That's why your drawing starts to look better after you struggle through the first (patchy) fase.
You're my biggest inspiration Peter, thank you
Mummy Brown: YOU should be teaching this class. Good points, all.
Why is weird and quirky just so darn attractive? 😜
OMGGGG YES MORE OF THIS PLEASE. i love all the art you do. it's just that color is like a whole other dimension. it's also fun to change things around sometimes. do whatever ofc, but i'm looking forward to future colorful stuff too!!! i like how you experiment and just go freely.
That kind of swing between looking like a plate of sweets and someone's intestines...😂
Love it has a botanical look to it.
Unexpected masterpieces like to show up on dry erase boards.
My thoughts exactly! I think they go together well, also, friend. Thank ya for your informative perspective.
Nice drawing as always Peter! You did before a drawing using watercolor and ink and it was 👌
I really like it too.
So cool! I love using coloured pencils with watercolour paint and gouache :)
Peter, wait until you get your hands on, watt for it...water! color! pencils!
I got into watercolor like a year ago....my first live is ink but I'm not artist with either lol. But messing with watercolor here and there has been so much fun!! The way it moves on wet watercolor paper is just awesome. Complete opposite of how ink is a hard, solid mark.....
Hello Peter. I enjoy your art and I am inspired by your philosophy on making art and living in general. Been watching for quite some time. I just want to say thank you for being you.
LOVE the voice over with the speedpaint. i want to be like you when i grow up.
Thanks so much for your videos, me and my mum are having a great time watching them while recovering from covid
Never stop drawing Peter!
This turned out beautifully! I love watercolor and colored pencils together. I often feellike I like my pieces the best when I'm not too concerned about what the end product looks like. It's easier to do that in my sketcbooks, much harder on a taped down piece of fancy paper! Thanks for the video, have a great weekend, Peter!
That piece looks delicious! Like a banana split from the 9th dimension!
I'm so glad you kept working thru the "ugly" stage. It's sooo inspirational to see such a good artist go thru the same things we go thru as beginners. This is such a cool piece! You killed it!!!
Can't believe you almost tossed this one! When I saw it on insta, it struck me as a very cool piece right away! Loving the colors - I'm excited to see more
I tried this out earlier this year: acrylic paint (diluted & used like watercolor), color pencil, and pigma micron. Turned out much better than I'd anticipated.
I also tried acrylic paint and grease pencil, which was equal parts fascinating and frustrating.
Wanted to experiment more with diluted acrylic and other media like pastel and ballpoint pen.
This video came exactly when I needed it. I feel motivated to be creative so ima make some art now. Thanks ✨
Me too !
I know what you mean. I got back into drawing this year after discovering Peter's channel.
I miss the brick wall. It was so wonderfully you, Peter. But hearty congrats on the new digs and setup 🤗
Really Inspiring! Always glad to join the experience of your TH-cam videos.
Wow the art turned out amazing... love that you didn't like it at first but it became what it did
if you haven't tried them before I recommend acrylic ink, you get some really vivid colors with them and they are used like watercolors
Yes! 👍
You should have this medium mix another go - I see some very nice pieces in your future if you do. Love it
So true, just keep going. Magic happens 😍
My favorite watercolour pencils are the Derwent Inktense, but I recently bought the Derwent Inktense Blocks and they are amazing and so satisfying, well worth trying, Peter, for intense colour activated with water 👍
I love the way you transitioned through the abstract into a surreal vibe
Peter I love u and I love ur cool cup
this is giving me skifi icecream shop vibes. thank you for the video!
My two favourite mediums!
I'm loving the new colorful videos! I've always been a fan of your black and white doodles, but as a color fan myself, seeing your pieces with color is just ✨*chef's kiss*✨
Watercolour and pencils mixed together is my absolute favourite mediums too work with together ! The best for both detail works and loose abstract stuff like you have done !
So fun fact, they actually have colored pencils that ARE watercolors. You can draw with them and then add water to them as you like
Definitely makes sense
I love when you use color!! looks gorg
I love it! Looks like i could stick my hand into it and squish all the little bloopy blops.
I love it.
I'm just really glad you didn't painfully misuse the poor paint.
I saw you show the M. Graham paints and the silver black velvet brushes, both really expensive, and got scared you'd use them all weird or ruin the brush or something
No hate towards Rae, but Super Rae Dizzle always grinds my gears when she uses watercolor/shows swatches because they are always so weird and ugly, she seems to have no grasp on what the paints even are, she either uses them too thic or to thin, always on the wrong paper also
you did great! My watercolor artist heart is overjoyed
I really like how this turned out, too. Great colors.
I love this!
for me it's a depiction of how candy feels during a heatwave.
I left gummy bears in the glove box of my car one summer. this reminded me of that. what a bizarre eating experience that was...
Don’t take this the wrong way, but I sometimes take a nap to your ramblings. You have a Bob Ross way about you.
Darvoid is a true gentlemen.
After a long and work filled week, I really needed to relax to you and your art
Very inspiring ❤
Peter, I'm so glad I found you on TH-cam a few years ago.
I dabble with art, and I get a lot of joy, and inspiration, from watching your videos.
Thanks so much for doing what you do, and best wishes for your continued success.
I love the Pentel brand of water filled brushes.
Having the water come out of the brush continuously, instead of having to dip for it, is a game changer.
I have not tried combining water color, with oil based colored pencils yet. Will give that a try.
Also will try glazing water color, over water color pencil.
this is a pretty amazing video peter i have to say
Beautiful.
I've been watching since highschool n i absolutely adore this video 🥺
this is so lovely
Wow! Beauty. 👏🏻❤
Love you Peter
It was worth the work! very nice painting Peter :)
Even your promotions are entertaining man, good job!
All we are saying is give a piece a chance... 🎶
This is awesome 😊
Reminds me of biology class learning the cells
Color! Color!
Most of my artworks go through an atrocious phase until I push through and make them work.
It’s really the fun part though :)
I think this is looking really interesting, candy-like somehow.
Watercolor and colored pencils work great together, now you can also add ink drawing to the mix ^^
Lol the opening 😂
I love combining my watercolor ing with colored pencils, watercolor pencils (actually like using WC pencils to sketch with then they dissolve with the watercolor).
Sooo artsy fartsy looking .. good job.
Hullo Peter! I have used watercolor and color pencils together for years! I would make a recommendation? Always use 2 cups of water! One will be used for rinsing of your brushes and the other for bringing fresh water into your colors! I know M.Graham is a professional grade paint. I prefer to use DaVinci of California Paints! Their paints and I wish to say ALL their paints are professional grade! I have used many brands over the years and I have become just completely enamored of this companies paints! I have been painting watercolor paintings since I was 10 years old. So I have used several brands of paints. I simply don’t believe that you can do better than DaVinci ! I enjoyed watching your video and seeing your painting or multi media artwork! Thank you for sharing and just keep creating your artwork in any and every way you wish!
Thanks for the tip. I'll have to try those out. I see they are made right here, in my home state of California.
Using W&Newton from tubes now, and they are pretty good, but always interested in trying something new.
So fun dude
Inspirational 🙂. Will try your method. Cool. Yoz I'm not 80 degree. Haha.
That was fun.
Thanks man
Yay new video! Hi peter!
Hm, I shall have to try this sometime, nice suggestion! Maybe after #InkTober2022 though
I absolutely hated standardization test. They drained the life out of my body every single time. Because that’s too much information for one person to hold.
I really like Prismacolor and watercolours. I’m not a watercolour paint kinda person, but I think they’re a pretty decent combo. I’m sending out this comment at the beginning of your video, and I’m 💯 percent sure you’ll do so much more awesomeness than most anything I’ve previously seen! I LOVE your videos!
One thing I like about Prismacolor pencils is they don’t 😷stink 😷 as bad as many others do!!
I don’t think I’ve found any of those stinky pencils!
@@peter_draws I find some colours of Polychromos to stink, but not all of them. I love the pencils, but my nose has its own opinions! I’ve watched enough of your vids to know you understand. It was watching a reaction to you smelling a pen that first lured me into the wonderful world of Peter Draws because I thought “I’m not alone!!!!”
See.. Derwent are my fave pencils precisely because I love their strong smell!
Do it all the time. Lay in the WC, shade w. Pencils.
A lot of people use that leftover paint on the pallet. As the mother color.
I've said this before I think all your paintings look kinda ugly up until one point where it all comes together and looks AMAZING. I don't know how you do it. I love these
Dope!
Excellent human
💜
Hello Mr peter thank you for the vid
H20 and pencil do work together 🎉In the art world we call it mixed media 😊
