Here is a tip for sharpening watercolor (and regular colored pencils): rotate the SHARPENER AROUND the pencil-holding the pencil in one position, NOT rotating the pencil inside the sharpener. This helps keep the soft "leads" from breaking inside the wooden outer pencil.
OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS TIP 😊 🙏
Lol, I might be overreacting, but this tip really helped 👍
Have you ever heard of using a blow dryer on the water colored pencils to make them harder to break when sharpening? Is this good to do?
Sex,to me thats what it sounds like
I've moved away from sharpeners for watercolour pencils, I find them too wasteful. The core is valuable colour but each time we put it in a sharpener, more than %50 of the cone we create goes in the bin. Unlike working with normal colour pencils, we don't always need a sharp point and in fact I prefer to side shade as it produces less retained pencil marks. We don't need to fill the divots and get rid of the white bits as we do in colour pencil. We get rid of them when we apply water. I sharpen watercolour pencils with a sharp knife (Scalpel with a standard 10A blade) and only par back the wood to expose core. Rotating the pencil as I side shade, retains a point naturally without any waste and gives me more exposed core for picking up colour with a wet brush when needed. This more bullet shaped tip I find more versatile, giving me smoother laydown, less frequent need to sharpen and sufficient point when I need it. Since I stopped using a sharpener about 5 years ago, I have found my watercolour pencils last way longer and I get virtually no breakage.
This helped soo much just got watercolor pencils for Christmas!
Same lol!
same!!
Me too
Same
Same 😂😂
I'm glad you made this cause I didn't know what watercolor pencils we're for. Lol

Then why did you buy them...most of them aren't cheap...
Chloe_Kan 1218 I got them as a gift😆
That tip about blending from the lightest area first is super helpful! Thank you!
When I was watching this video, the only thing that was circling my mind was
"turn it towards me! Turn ittttt!".....
SPOILER ALERT *She didn't*
Angelika Bilska I
Yeah...that was the only thing I didn't like about the video.
I couldn't see much like by angle.
Just turn your phone around
@@Octoboobs lol. I was thinking the same thing. Just turn of the screen rotation on your phone and then just turn the phone so that the picture is facing you.....
I couldn’t find water in the description
Edit: thanks for the love 💕
This comment needs more love

Scarlett Rose thank youuuu
Thank you for this video! There is a serious lacking on TH-cam in 'how to use Watercolor Pencils', and yours is awesome! I appreciate that you are showing how to use these in a realistic way as opposed to just unboxing, swatching, and suggesting or 'trying for the first time'. I've been playing with my watercolor pencils and want to use them as an under-painting for colored pencils to speed up some of the 30 hour portraits. Thank you again! If you feel like making more watercolor pencils videos, I'd definitely watch! :-)
Hello friend, how are you doing
wow your demonstration of pushing the water up into the dry pencilled area (instead of pulling away from it) to create a wash is fantastic! what a difference! thank you
Thank you so much for making this! I found an old case of watercolor pencils from my grandma’s old art kit, and I wanted to try them out! Thank you for making this video to teach people like me who have no idea how to use watercolor pencils how to use them
Seeing the water so close to the computer caused me anxiety, lol.
Sometimes I use my laptop as a tray table to carry soda and food to other rooms 🙃
A "don't mess with me attitude" 😀 👍🏽
My laptop is currently under a stack of books water containers my pan paints surrounded by half drunk cups of tea
@@HulloAlice
And one day your laptop will say goodbye alice 😁
HulloAlice That makes my stomach hurt
This video was very helpful. I had been frustrated with my watercolor pencils in the past and admittedly they are cheap but with these tips I was able to go back and make a nice pic for my son.
Hello friend, how are you doing
Love you Alice you’re so talented. Do you think you could do a how to use gouache tutorial I think it’d be very helpful
Yes I will add it to the list :)
HulloAlice great! Thank you so much love
You are a born teacher! I found your video doing a random search about watercolor pencils, and discovered a jewel - you. I'm just starting to papercraft and stamp and discovered that colored pencils m8ght be more "me" than markers, etc. I'm 70 and found your video sooooo informative. Thank you, Alice, for sharing
Thank you SO much!! I really enjoy teaching others so it means a lot :)
you should try derwent watercolor pencils. Especially inktense line they have. They are SUPER pigmented
watercolor pencils are genius for sketching out your project before you put down watercolors too! I'm excited to get some and try them out
this was very helpful, being a traditional graphite artist who blends from dark to light I will definitely have to try light to dark with my watercolor pencils
Hello friend, how are you doing
This was a wonderful tutorial on using watercolour pencils. I've watched dozens of videos trying to figure out the techniques but I'm almost certain none of them ever mentioned about blending from light to dark with the damp brush! I was getting exactly the. Result you described. Now I can't wait to pull out my pencils to give them another try. Thank you so much for giving such clear instruction.
You have given me hope for my watercolor pencil journey! Like you I have hated those things, but I am realizing that all I need is proper technique and patience, thank you!!😍✨👏
This is fantastic - gives me a real feel for how to start working with the watercolor pencils. Thanks !!
My first time watching you and watercolor pencils. Just love the way you explain everything so simply. Thanks Mary
Hello friend, how are you doing
Hello friend, how are you doing
Watercolor pencils are like black magic to me, thanks for the video it helped loads.
Super video! I'm going to use colored pencils to create a few details in my watercolor painting.
Amazing tutorial, thanks Alice 🎉🙌
0:55... Thanks. I've always wondered how well they'd work. I think I had a set but I didn't do much with them.
You've got some interesting looking vids. I think I'll check that black paper vid after this.
Thank you very much !!! Very helpful !! I am just starting to learn to use watercolor pencils !!
When she said "140 pounds" I thought she meant weight wise and was really confused for a moment 😂 lol
You’re so pretty. I just got watercolor colors for Christmas and I’m super excited! Thank you!
Love this. Thank you for a beginner here. ❤
Thank you for proving me right. We had free draw one day in class and everyone was dipping the pencils in the water, and I was the only one that did it right way of sketching before the water.
This is exactly why I needed. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!
I'm a beginner and this video was super helpful.
Thank you Alice, I really enjoyed watching your video and I’m going to give it a go myself. You explained everything really well and I will be looking out for your next lesson. I’m a grandma, but it’s never too late to learn something new. 🌸
Hello friend, how are you doing
@@markdolan9459
Very well, thank you 😊
@@catherinemcintosh9550 you're welcome, nice to meet you. Where are you from?
@@markdolan9459
I’m from England:)
Are you?
@@catherinemcintosh9550 Nice, I’m half Portugal and half America. My mom from Portugal and dad from the states, I was born and brought up living in Porto, Portugal with my parents until I was through with my high school level, before moving to the United States with my parents November 1980.iive in Rochester NY.
Great video. I just use my watercolour pencils to colour in stamped images but have never managed to create a pleasing effect. I shall try again using the techniques you have shown me here. Thanks.
Hello friend, how are you doing
I love you work! I have been experimenting with Moleskine watercolour pencils are a little while now and loving it! and still figuring out the techniques. I've uploaded a few videos so far :)
I should have watched this tutorial first. Thanks for the great demo. ❤️
I paint watercolour succulents and I feel like the ones I've done are a lot easier than how you've taught us to use watercolour pencils. (Not a fault of yours, you have a very comprehensive and relaxing tutorial here, it's just so much more involved, imo, than I thought watercolour pencils are! Wow. I have so much more respect for watercolour pencil pieces and artists now, knowing all they go through. I know for a fact that if I were to try, I'd end up with a super muddy mess)
I started watercolour (again. I used to use tube watercolour almost as I would acrylics. It was such a waste :S) and before I got back into my tube Windsor & Newtons, I started with aquarelle crayons, which proved to have a lot of chalkiness, and then I switched to watercolour pencils. I tried using them both by using my brush on the paint itself, then putting the paint on paper. Then I realized I should just dig my watercolours back out again :S.
Anyway back to my point:
So when I saw you had a tutorial I thought it would be fun to see how they're supposed to be used, and man am I ever glad I decided to just get out my regular watercolours. I just seem to understand them so much better.
Very helplful! I'm a lifelong Artist with most media except watercolours [British, Australian, English as opposed to American] spelling] so this was a great intro. Thanks again
Wow, I love water color pencils but never knew the proper way to use them. Thank you for sharing. I will now try your techniques.
Hello friend, how are you doing🤗
I have a lot of trouble with the colour lifting if you put more colour on top so I found your tips helpful. Thanks.
Hello friend, how are you doing🤗🤗
thank you so much for this video! I watched a few of them to catch some tips and yours is the most begginer friendly lol everything is so clear and easy to see and understand! And you make it look so fun! I happy to give it another try to my watercolor pencil with your tips and tricks :D
I'm so happy to hear that! I tried to make it really beginner friendly so I'm glad to hear it was clear to you! They are really fun once you get the hang of them! I used to HATE them and now i love them!!
Thank you for the video I wanted to buy the watercolor pencil and seeing your video helped me
Extremely helpful. Thank you.
Try Mondulez watercolor pencils, beautifully creamy, vibrant and affordable. Professional quality.
Beautiful! Thank you for sharing! ❤️
Thank you for helping me for my art 🖼 I didn’t skip any words you said 🤩 amazing love your vids.
Most helpful tutorial I've seen so far
Such a good painting with no previous sketch!? 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I love this, I have watercolor pencils but always struggle to use them. Thank you!
You're a very talented young lady!💕 thanks for the tips on your video.
I have watercolor pencils ✏ I didnt know how to use it thanks this video helped me very much 😊😘✏️🎨
My word this lady talks sooo fast. Or it may be cos I'm getting on a bit.
Nah I talk really fast haha! You can slow down the speed in settings a bit if that helps!
She's excited, that's all😁
@@HulloAlice my friend also talks fast as she was like rapping words😂 😂😂😂
Oh I love this!!!! It’s so hard to draw with watercolor paint itself but I love water color
Hello friend, how are you doing🤗
Brah, digging that cactus shirt logo!!
Thank you! Very helpful information.

Hello friend, how are you doing🤗
Oh my goodness Thankyou so so much! This video was so unbelievably helpful and it just saved my illustration!!
Hello friend, how are you doing🤗
Great tips! I can now blend really well thanks to to your tips! Only tip I have for you is to have the camera facing down onto the paper as it hurt my neck trying to look at your painting!
I am new to watercolour pencils and this is a fantastic video so thank you very much. I only wish that your filming of your painting was turned-displayed right side up because your shadowing was a little confusing. Other than that... 👍👍
Hello friend, how are you doing🤗
You are a wonderful teacher😊
If you don’t have watercolour paper can you use canvas paper because that’s literally all I have? Also, love the video! I literally got watercolour pencils tonight and wanted to know how to use them. ❤️ ✏️
This was very informative! As an art history major, just a slight comment about pronunciation of one of my favorite artists. You pronounce his name Al-breked Doo-er, for Albrecht Durer. Not Doo-air. It was a very informative video and I truly enjoyed it!
Hello friend, how are you doing🤗
Wouah! that was a fantastic tutorial for everyones, i really enjoyed to watch how you worked with that medium which it's the first times i've seen these incridible techiniques whcih i will gave it a try for shure. I subscribed to your channel because that was an excellent tutorial you explain so well so very inspired to finaly used my tons of watercolors tube and maybee ejoyed doing this medium whcih it's hard for someones like me who are a huge fans of colored pencils so thank you so very much having take of your times to share your phenomenal talent with us and push me to explored this medium dear Hullo Alice, great tutorial you are such an amzing Artist and i avsoolutely adore these FAMOUS Brushes which Black Velvet afre for me the very Best Brushes ever, they are pricy but so worthed xx
Thank you for all the tips. In my recent Christmas cards, I used watercolour pencils to handpaint them. I loved using them, though I still have the leads break on me.
Microwave the pencils for like 10-20 seconds to melt and reshape the core:)
I really hope my daughter and I get to meet up with you in November when I come to visit 😊. You are so talented!
So helpful. Thank you so much.
I love your cactus cup 😁
Thank you for your post!!!!!!!!! I learned so so much and have a new found admiration for my water color pencils💜💜💜
Hello friend, how are you doing
I'd recommend the Derwent academy watercolour pencils if you are low income, they're really nice and have no chalky fillers.
Nice video. Could not understand as the words are spoken faster and not too clear. Anyway, what diff brands did you show? Can you please write these for me. Thanks.
Thank you very much for this tutorial!! I'm quite the noobie. XD
Very useful tips!👍
Can you do the drawing in regular pencil first and then outline it in the watercolor pencils and then do water will the ink from the regular pencil ruin the colors from the water color pencils? I hope this makes sense.
Thank you for your video, it was very informative. I have been using watercolour pencils using a different technique. You have inspired me to try yours. Thanks again.
Hello friend, how are you doing🤗
My dad just gave me a bunch of watercolor pencils for Christmas, do you have a video for beginners like me who have really no idea how to use watercolors?....Is cotton fiber paper OK to use to practice with watercolor pencils?
Nice n useful tricks, thank you for sharing,
your cheer alone earned you a like ;)
Excellant tutorial...I learned so much! I will come back and watch it again and again. I love my Faber Castell watercolor pencils...they were a gift two Christmas' ago from my hubby and I treasure them. I mainly use them in my Bible Journaling. I have some Prismacolor pencilsa as well, but those Faber Castell's are my babies! LOL Hope you have a very Merry Christmas!
Hello friend, how are you doing
@@markdolan9459 doing well…hope you are as well! Many blessings to you and your family 😊
@@firegirl441fromga6 awe thank you for your kindness words. It's my pleasure to meet you. How is your family and where are you from? Am sorry for the late reply I have been so busy with work so I couldn't check my TH-cam
@@firegirl441fromga6 hope you're having a good day
Great video! 👏🏽
Very helpful 👍
This is really helpful :)
I have the same unicorn that is in the background!!! 🦄🦄
Thank you. Informative for me, a newbie with water color pencils.
Hello friend, how are you doing🤗
Thank you 😃
Is it mixed media paper ok to use?
Hey I just saw your video along with your channel. It really is helpful and most important thing is that you're cute. Not like a simp but a fan✌️
Very helpful, thanks 😊
Would have liked close-up of the finished sketch to see the details of the work.
After the many times of working with these pencils, and getting poor results, your technique explains everything!
Hello friend, how are you doing🤗
This will definitely help me with art gcse
Ur drawing is awsome.....Ur painting is awsome.....Ur coulouing is awsome......And ur awsome!...😍😍
I just got a lovely new coloring book, but it's printed on Watercolor Paper. My Prismacolors don't work as well. They leave a lot of white spaces on such rough paper. Using the blending pencil may result not only in scratching the pigment off the paper, but in destroying the paper itself.
Thank you for letting me know which Watercolor pencils to buy. I too hate pencils that break.
Thank you so much for this tutorial!
That was really informative! Thanks so much!
Hello friend, how are you doing🤗
Great video! Thank you!!! I’m subscribed!!!
I had no idea how to use them until this video (glad I watched first) because I was under the impression that you dip the pencil in water and just... Kinda 'draw' with it.
I have a question. Is it possible to sharpen watercolor pencils with a pencil sharpener?
Yep! I just use a regular pencil sharpener :) some work better than others but yeah!
@@HulloAlice thank you! That was helpful!
This was soooo helpful! thank you!
I think the watercolorpencils from Bruynzeel design are really good too. try them
I dont like this advertisements before the main topic,isssssshhhh ! Taking more time to wait.
You're watching for free, aren't you?
Oh cool that’s how water colours work
