Faber Castell Graphite Aquarell, are the most underrated pencils! I use these on Arches Hot Pressed watercolor paper and they have contributed, to the best graphite drawings I've ever made!!
I'm not surprised, thank you for sharing!
I’m hearing loads about this Arches paper recently. Guess I need some🤔
If you're drawing with graphite,Arches Hot Pressed watercolor paper (the one that is Mostly black,with a pink square in the middle) is the best quality paper for finisheddrawings. It's a delightful to draw on it. The BEST drawing paper ,is the Hahnemuhle Dessin 150gsm. I recommend gettin both, the Hahnemuhle, is a dedicatid drawing paper, that left me speechless when I tried it!!@@annamarielewis7078
@@annamarielewis7078Arches is amazing. Discovered it last year, and haven't gone back since.
nice, may I ask what you draw with them?
I would call this “drainting,” especially the mountain. It’s neither drawing nor painting, but some magical combo of both. Beautiful work! 🤗
Oh I love it, drainting 🙂
Beautiful looking glass and liquid effect with the water soluble graphite! These pencils are amazing and I love my set. It sounds like you have a bit of a cold. Hope you feel better soon.
Thank you Diane! Yes I have been sick since last week and I need to talk a lot for a workshop tomorrow 😁
The glass in graphite is beautiful! I may have to get these pencils and try them out
Get them, they work great for both drawing or quick sketches. For example you can do a fast sketch, and use a wet brush, to create the shadows! It looks much better and it is also faster, than using shading techniques with common pencils. Also, these Graphite Aquarell, perform exactly the same, as the common Faber Castell 9000! That means you can use them without water, for either writing, or drawing/sketching! They are a bit thicker than the other Faber Castell pencils, so they provide a way better and more comfortable grip! Trust me, you'll love them!
I enjoy this little set very much, I hope you do too if you get it!
I did this same exact thing during my 7 years of art school to bypass any pencil based assignments!! :O
Highly recommend this technique. Become the Bruce Lee of art and flow like water my friends.
Best brushes for watercolour: Raphael 803 Quill mop(love the No4, No2 and N00). Raphael 8408 and 8404 Kolinsky,are also some of the best, if not THE best brushes out there!! Raphael 8408 No2 and No6, and a 803 Quil mop No4, make the best set for watercolour painting!!
For No2: I'd choose Da Vinci series 35 (No6 all the way to No12,all are great!)
For No3: I'd choose the Royal Talens Rembrandt series 100 Kolinsky (best value and they perform as good as the Da Vinci, if not better! So, the hair are 100% top quality, they are also made in Germany!)
PS If you do Botanical, Raphael 8408 No2,No4 and No6, are the BEST brushes you can get. As for the paper choice, depends on the brand of watercolours you choose and what kind of painting you do.Mostly the way the watercolour brand you choose and how it performs, play a huge role, on what paper to choose)
Thanks for sharing!
I love inktense pencils. I've used them as underpaintings before finishing in oils for Bouguereau studies
Thank you for sharing, they're so versatile!
Love watching all the ways you use the pencils. I have that first set that I inherited from my father last year and haven't tried them yet. So, I look forward to giving them a go. And because of your technique with using the Caran d'Ache palette, I bought first one, then a second one, and had the hubby cut the second in two so I could use it for travel or plein air. :)
It sounds like you are ready to make some magic with those!
This is fantastic! Thank you for posting
You're welcome 🙂
thats incredible, those water effects are mind blowing, enjoyed till the end 😊😊😊
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed!🙂
BEAUTIFUL !
Thank you !
I’m a tattoo artist and work primarily in watercolor.the landscape blew me away.im gonna give the pencils a try.awesome art.cool video.thank you😊
You're welcome 🙂
There has not been a video of your that I have not benefited immensely from. Thank you always. Feel better soon!.♥️🎄❄️
Thank you so much !
Have you tried derwent graphitint or other similar slightly tinted water soluble graphite pencils? The colours are very subtle.
Yes, I yet need to showcase them here, I love the graphitint 😀 Thank you for bringing them up!
very inspiring... i liked a lot to view your video early in the morning....very welcoming wake up routine....tnx for sharing
Thanks for sharing, you're very talented!
Thank you and you're welcome !
You are a wonderful artist, and this video provided many tips.. I love the precision of watercolor pencils but I see I haven’t been using them to their full potential. Thank you.
You're welcome !
Thank u for this 🥰
You're welcome 🙂
Beautiful video! 👏
Thank you Fabio!
The glass is my favorit, it looks gorgeous, the other paintings are also great, for sure 👏😀
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed!
Thank you for taking the tme to make this video, monkey learned a few things here.
You're welcome, thank you for taking the time to let me know!
Where can I purchase the white plastic palette you’re using to apply color from the pencils? It looks quite handy.
It's a Caran d'Ache palette you can find on Amazon and other websites, including the brand's.
@@paintingandchocolatedo you know if there's a substitute to the Caran D'Ache palette? I live in Brazil and no one sells it here, and importing one is soooooo expensive... I always paint with watercolor the way you did, but It takes me a lot of time to dissolve the lead first, because the palette I have is not textured... I have tried a laminated palette, that is textured, but it's made of wood, so I always have to be extra careful, so I end up not using much.
Must be so nice to be this talented. My biggest regret was giving up on my art in high school. Decades wasted.
I did the same. I started back at 37 years old, the "never too late" phrase is correct 🙂
@@paintingandchocolate What? You don’t look 37 much less restarted then. Were you able to draw like this before to quit or did you get this good after restarting?
I'm actually a bit over 40 now 🙂 and yes I did know how to draw a bit, naturally, but I had never studied art nor practiced intensely as a kid and teenager. I knew nothing about colorizing a drawing before starting back, and watercolor was new territory since I only drew before. I did practice daily, sometimes 3 or 4 times weekly since however.
@@paintingandchocolate
So there might be hope for me after all is what you’re saying…. Truly hope so.
@@Ron_DeForestI am 57 and I just started. All we need is the will and practise. Talent is overrated. Hard work and motivation is what we need, in any skill. Luckily there is tons of free or paid resources and education nowadays online, so we are very lucky. I am also following the book ”the Natural Way to Draw”, a classic that is very interesting. A different approach of learning to draw.

which watercolor pencils are good
Faber Castell albrecht Dürer is great
I have seen Staedtler Mars Lumograph Aquarelle in the local stationery shop. I wonder if those stuffs are good as their Faber Castell counterpart.
I haven't tried them, I hope someone here will be able to shed some light on that.
They aren’t as good (sadly), but they are inexpensive…
@@dvmulligan yeah they are not very expansive, unless you purchase the ones that are in packaging.
I'm new to water colors and I'd like to know how you can avoid having the paper fold up and warp once it gets wet.
I think it’s practice, not to get the paper too wet or too dry! Comes with experience. Also taping down the sides
@@sal8454 I always tape the sides but it bulges up in the middle once it's wet. A little wet or very wet it's always a problem. My paper might not be so good.
I tape down the sides. When I get it very wet I'm usually led to dry it as I layer, and that helps flatten it back to normal. When it's still not flat, happens often, i place it under a pile of books overnight. If the bulging is bad, wet the back of the painting and place under something heavy.
@@paintingandchocolate Thanks so much! I'll give it a try.
I have a watercolor b!ock of paper. It's cold pressed. When you finish your painting you peel off your painting. The block of paper prevents the paper from warping. Hope this helps. I got mine from Amazon. Can't recall how much it costs.
Fantástico
Its a great way to draw, but I wouldn't call it new, I was doing it over thirty years ago with Derwent Water Color Pencils: drawing, using suble water to control shading as u do here. Are u saying, perhaps, that company(ies) famous for pencils only are adding this to their lines? For some reason, the English excel at pencil and ink supplies, Faber Castel, Derwent, etc. I don't kniw when the pencils came out, but they were residly available in the late 1980s...
U display "100% cotton" paper here. What is * your * go-to supplier for drawing and water color paper? I always end up with Amercians paper but, as mentioned, always with English inks. Oils are another story...
* Sucb * control! A real joy to work with...
I know some of us know these pencils as you pointed out. What I found overall that everyone owns a box of these kinds of pencils and very few actually know how to use them. Most times people don't use them at all for a lack of technique tutorials. They have changed the game for me when I started studying them.
Btw I totally love Derwent and all they are doing, charcoal pencils, inktense, graphitint...
For watercolor paper, my absolute favorite is Arches 🙂
❤❤❤
Das ist super
Danke
Can u pls focus camera from like above the paper rather than sideways bcz in that way all the steps are clearly visible, with a better view
Just when you think you've seen every type of art medium... lol 😅 Water soluble graphite pencils. Who knew?! Amazon, here I come. 🙏☺️
I'm glad the video was valuable to you, have fun with the pencils!
Smelling eucaliptus essence helps with nasal confestion
Thank you for the tip!😁
@@paintingandchocolate thank you for your content ♥️
😊😊😊 Дуже мило!🌺🌸❤
Thank you
I wouldnt call it a hack or 'new way to draw' more just 'how to use watercolour pencils' but then I get that it makes for a more attention grabbing title. I'd say the one 'hack' with water colour pencils would be they are a great alternative to traditional colour pencils in that they always have a real strong pigment load in comparison even at cheaper price points, so it can be a good hack for those on a budget.
If ever Im doing illustration commissions that require a cartoon approach Ill draw with a black Albrecht Dürer watercolour pencil
Yes, they're such a great tool! Thank you for sharing you insight and experience, it's much appreciated :)
It’s not a hack , it a watercolor drawing technique.
Agreed, when we even know how to use this tool, which for many, isn't the case due to a lack of tutorials and how underrated they are. This is the idea I mean to convey.
Water sol U ble😊
I see lots of painting, but there's a massive lack of chocolate on your channel. 🍫
I know, it never makes it on time for the videos 😁
You seem to have mistaken mixed media illustration for drawing. Not that the lesson is invalid, but it's not drawing in the true sense of the craft
Your hand cramps because to aren't drawing. You are "coloring" as you say. You use scratchy lines to copy photographs or make cartoon. Read some art history.
Wanted to like this but the audio is just awful.
Working on it right now to improve the experience.
I also had a cold in this video, I'm sorry that it was so bad to listen to!
this is not drawing tho.
Mix of both
Down vote for the commercial, because we all know you don't make enough off YT. Although other creators happen to, with out resorting to a cheap act of commercials! I think that would be call greed.
Considering I'm a Skillshare student and teacher, no, I call it a collaboration, and a great one that is. I couldn't be happier they were willing to sponsor my video, and the commercial I'm doing for them couldn't be more genuine. I can't apologize for teaching on Skillshare, and loving the platform. Please put yourself in the creator's shoes...
It’s not like she has millions of followers!
