Arrange drawing with watercolor pencils!

Drawing with watercolor pencils involves both drawing and painting!

Watercolor Pencils appear at first to be normal colored pencils, but when water is added to them, they give the beautiful look of watercolors.

Step 1. Draw a pencil sketch of your subject. It does not need to be too detailed, but do include major lines and points. Do not shade the picture.

Step 2. Create a chart of colors. With each of the colors of pencils that you will be using, shade a small square and paint over it with water. This will allow you to see how your colors will look, as some colors look completely different once water has been added.

Step 3. Layer some colors over each other and add water. Blending colors in this method can produce beautiful effects and add dimension to your picture.

Step 4. Using your base color(s), LIGHTLY and evenly color your subject.

Step 5. With your base color, make a second layer over your picture. This time, leave blank the areas of highlight and shade in your shadowed areas.

Step 6. Using a medium to small soft paintbrush, paint water over your picture.

Make sure that your brush strokes go with the contours of your subject. Start out with a little bit of water, and add more to produce a more washed out effect.

The more water is added, the lighter the color will become and the less you will see your pencil lines. However, if too much water is used, the colors will run.

Use a smaller brush for detailed ares.

Take photos of the picture before adding some water and after. Upload the collage to the App and write some words about the process and whether your kid liked the task!
