Arrange painting with watercolor pencils for your kid!

“Colors are the smiles of nature”. It is absolutely true that colors play a big role in the everyday life of a human. They can change your mood or evoke an emotion. Green connects you to nature, light blue connects to sky, brown connects to the soil and black to the darkness.

Watercolor pencils are fun and versatile equipment for any artist. One fun thing to do with them is to brush over them with water, which creates a ghost image that you can rework with various media, from pastels to watercolor. This technique is great and very spontaneous and loose, as it doesn’t focus on details and perfection as much. It is when you insert water into the equation that their exclusivity comes out. There are several different ways to get it done.

To start, you can do this by painting with clean water over your drawing. But you can also take paint off the pencil with a brush and then on your paper apply it, dampen the pencil then draw with this it, or just dampen the support you’re working on.

Tips for painting:

• Draw a rough outline of your drawing with pencil on watercolor paper.
• Color the drawing with watercolor pencils.
• Spray the paper with water. Spray enough water to get the watercolor pencil pigments to bleed, but not too much to cause the colors to mix completely on the paper.
• This is the fun part, as you are letting go of control and leaving some part to chance! Let the colors bleed and leave the paper to dry for about an hour, trying to not move it too much.
• Once everything has dried, you’ll see a ghost image of your painting. Now is the time to add more definition. Have some fun and make it your own!

It is when you insert water into the equation that their exclusivity comes out. There are various modes you can perform this.

For beginning, you can do this by painting with clean or dirt free water over your drawing. But you can also take paint off the pencil with a brush and then on your paper apply it, damp the pencil then draw with this pencil, or damp the support you are working on.
