Free video tutorial: Watercolor pencils
Paint a house mouse with me. Squeak!
Especially if you are used to the flowing intensity of watercolor paints or the precise control of a traditional colored pencil, this hybrid art medium can be tricky at first. The very characteristic that makes it so convenient to carry along - a pencil core that instantly melts when exposed to water - also makes it pale and prone to wash away in the middle of your sketching session.
But never fear! There are ways to ensure a soft and lovely watercolor pencil drawing… and this pencil’s softness makes it a natural for drawing small furry creatures, such as mice.
