Such a good video, great advice.

Lovely and skilled use of watercolor pencils!

You’ve made an obscure photograph so interesting. What did you use for the resist in the beginning and how did you remove it when you wanted to paint the island?

Oohh… when where are/ were you on Vancouver Island, Francoise? Could possibly have arranged a sketch-meet - love your style - hope you have fabulously fun and creative travels -:) - peter

Great video! Thank you for all your watersoluble pencil tips. Am still struggling with them a bit. I think that the tip about several layers may help.

Thank you. I have some beautiful water soluble pencils it have been so intimidate by them. You have given me hope. Thank you.

I love this set as the best tool to sketch under soft pastel painting. Never considered using it with water before... It looks nice!!!

I dont know why I've never thought to hold a clean wet brush to smooth the lines while I'm painting. My rinse water becomes mud within minutes. Because I'm rinsing away pigment that I'm still working with just to clean/smooth/reload with same pigment. Saves hundreds of trips to the sink for fresh water, and conserves my paint too❤

Toning with white is dicey as it can take weeks for the white to stop migrating through your other colors. And it generally looks chalky. Better to lift and scrape if you can get away with it.

Cute! He turned out really nice! Looks like he is throwing him a tantrum, before bopping off of where he sits to go steal some unsuspecting boatman's fish! Maybe either a leopard seal, an octopus, a chameleon, or, even duck-billed platypus next would definitely be pretty cool if you're looking for suggestions, that is! LmMFaO!!! ;) :P :o)

So helpful thank you😊

Video jumped leaving important process

I enjoyed this video very much, thank you Francoise, your explanations made perfect sense 👌♥️

A very nice comparison. I like them both but prefer the traditional watercolors a bit more. They seem more dreamy and ethereal.

I really should give watercolour pencils another try, I found them so difficult and never got them out again ❤

Thank you, I have forgotten my Inktense pencils. Your tips are very helpful, although I am not good at drawing I will keep on trying.

You always amaze me. I have learned so much from you, thanks so much. I never really thought of the importance of imagining while using a reference photo, but I realized while watching you that I sort of do that already. Now I will practice being more intentional in my imagining. I love your work, thanks so much for sharing. ❤❤❤

Beautiful work! Thank you!

I really liked this video. Especially how you used a limited "palette" of watercolor/soluble pencils. Your realistic paintings are amazing, you make it look so easy. I enjoy your tutorials and I learn so much. Please continue teaching your techniques. 😊

Please keep doing water pencils. Have you thought about florals?

I’m always amazed at how beautiful your art with this medium turns out. I don’t practice as often as I should but my favorite subject to paint is people, mostly faces. More videos with watercolor pencils and portraits always gets me excited. And thank you for sharing your insights with all of us.

I appreciate the details that you provided. I mostly use my watercolor pencils to sketch in the bases for a watercolor. I might also use them to add a little more depth of color in my watercolor painting. I enjoy your videos and I’m glad to be a subscriber.

Thank you. Trulybthe best. Haven't been able to do much at lately but I'm glad to be back. Love the seal.

if you could put the photo by the drawing it would be great to see what you are describing. love watching you draw.

This idea of working with the curves of the animal or object makes so much sense. And yet, it's always a balancing act between imagination and observation, isn't it? And the tidbit about the darker values around the flipper, and for the features of the face is so helpful. Hubby and I just returned from a trip to Vancouver and a cruise up the Alaskan inside passage. We saw a sea lion playing with his food, eagles, whales, a bear. I bet you have lots of wonderful pictures. I do to, of the beautiful landscape. Lots of painting possibilities.

I love how watercolor pencils are so forgiving and versatile.On my drawings I like to live some lines pure color not activated .

Awesome !

Enjoyable and useful video, thank you!

I do love more muted colours. But I don’t have any graphite watercolour pencils at the moment.

I haven’t used my watercolour pencil much but I am going to get them out and used them. I kinda forgot I had them.

Thank you for the video :) I almost forgot that I own a Graphitint set... I haven't found a reason to use them. I found watercolor pencils more interesting. But for sure, with Graphitint I am not distracted with colors, but I have to be focused on the shape and shading. I have already learned much from you, thank you for every professional and practical advice gou give.

I am going to try this.... See how it goes.. This will defiently be an experiment!

Very helpful advice.

Thank you for the tip about wetting the white before approaching the color with the brush! A game changer.

I visualise the shape and shade with the curves too, I tend to generally draw or paint animals from reference. I enjoy using watercolour pencils and have had a lot of experience with them, but I love to watch the creation of your beautiful paintings 😊

I've just started using color last November & haven't drawn in YEARS. I love your videos & learn so much from you. Thank you!

Your sea lion is beautiful! What are the particular advantages do the graphite based pencils offer, beyond traditional watercolor pencils?

I came across your channel while I was and am a little stuck about deciding which water color pencils to buy after I fell for the water color medium... I almost work with ten mediums and you are someone who came as pretty interesting to me as you work with I think what can be labelled as water soluble mediums.. I draw hyper realistic portraits too... To I always felt why did they get graphtint Or tinted charcoal for that matter out... Then I thought some people may like sepia sort of stuff... But since I love animals too... It's for the first time I got interested while looking at you draw... Coz you seem like drawing and using for fun.. But hey I am stuck between 48 set of Albrecht durer and drewent inktense... What do you recommend and why...

I learned to make art with wax based colored pencils, Prismacolors. But always wanted to learn watercolor. Your tutorials are a great blend. Thank you. 😻

I learn something new every time I watch one of your videos. I will try and visualize my subject when painting like you suggested.

I haven’t looked at my watercolor pencils in years. You’ve inspired me and will have to bring them back into the light😊 thank you ❤

you are very clear to follow thank you

What you said about shading around the flipper to make it stand out and look detached made perfect sense. Excellent video! Thanks

You're very talented.

Thanks very much. Good info!

Thank you so much for this video. I have these pencils and would like to use them more. What you say makes a lot of sense. Much appreciation. :)

Amazing. I'm starting with watercolour pencils and I appreciate a lot these videos showing the whole process. Thank you!

I hope you enjoyed this video! To learn how to paint along with me, you can join my Art school, Patreon or Skillshare: www.paintingandchocolate.com/learntopaint
