Using watercolor pencils with Caran D'ache palette and water brush | Lotus - Flowers of Edo book

This video is the second one in a series of drawings/paintings that derive inspiration from this book, Flowers of Edo: A Guide to Classical Japanese Flowers amzn.to/3VdQpHG
This time I wanted to test whether it's easier to work with a textured palette and water brush and I loved it. The Artisto watercolor pencils are perfect choice for those who just want to test if they would like to work with this medium. I am glad I did. The color choices are a bit limited and maybe not as vivid as expensive brands, but good enough for simple coloring; besides new colors can be created by using textured palette & blending. They are nice and soft but sturdy; easy to sharpen and even the long point (as I use in my video) doesn't break.

After trying the Caran D'ache Palette I would definitely recommend to use this method, especially when drawing on a very toothy cold press watercolor paper. Happy drawing & painting! 🎨

Thanks so much for your comment! I think that these pencils are surprisingly decent for their incredible price 😉and a great buy for those who just want to test how to work with watercolor pencils. I am glad I did. The color choices are a bit limited and maybe not as vivid as expensive brands, but good enough for simple coloring; besides new colors can be created by using textured palette & blending. They are nice and soft but sturdy; easy to sharpen and even the long point (as I use in my video) doesn't break. I hope this is helpful.
