A range of Swiss made pencils: the Museum Aquarelle pencils are made in our Caran d'Ache workshop in Switzerland, in partnership with watercolor artists.

They cover the paper easily and feel sensitive to the pressure of my hand, even on a textured surface. Techniques: - Watercolour, washes, crosshatching, graded applications, unlimited blending possibilities, mixed media. Whilst still wet, I shaved colours on to the bottom right corner to give the effect of flowers and grasses. G’day Barb- a “white magic” eco eraser sponge with just water is all I need to clean the mixing board when I’m not going to use the pigment again! (It goes by many names just here in Oz, from branded thru cheap no name, typically used to remove scuffs from painted walls etc). Yep, just water and it gets off ALL the pigment returning to a perfectly white clean board. Saves your brushes- especially if you like them- too. For a pretty marbled finish, I scattered tiny shavings from the leads of different colours on to the paper and then brushed over with plenty of water, letting the colours mingle.

Pencils made with high quality wood: the wood of the Museum Aquarelle pencils is the highest grade FSC™certified cedar wood. A little colour went a long way, and without the fragments I’d been expecting; the pigments dissolved completely into the water. It occurred to me this would be a handy way to take colours travelling or hiking with minimum weight.WAX BASED | 4mm Colour Strip | Round Barrel | 100 Colours (including 1 non water soluble outliner) | Firm Texture For Frank the Suffolk punch and his handler Pete I made a palette as described, and applied a couple of layers of colour with a brush.

They’re so pigmented, and cheaper than premium watercolour, I just snapped the leads off into a couple of tiny ceramic palettes (got two of the Etchr 37 well travel ones for this). Have to say they’re easier to travel with this way than tube paints. (Read somewhere a Museum pencil has same amount of pigment as a half pan.) And yes sometimes I’m so lazy I just use them at home to do a bit of painting on the dining table to finish up the sketches. In fact they’re still set up this way this morning (sheepish shrug).

Spraying, brushing, or dropping water on to Museum Aquarelle pencil marks resulted in a host of effects, depending on the water-to-pigment ratio and the relationship between colours on the paper. If you’ve made your own charts – that’s great. But – as is practical, you might also have your charts in one physical place while you draw in another. You need to have access to the colours where you are – hopefully you’ll be there with internet access and your mobile device.

This post is part of a series in which I have had a closer look at the coloured pencils in my art and craft stash for your information. You can refer to this disclaimer to see how the analysis was done to decide on colour pencil colours. To introduce texture to the muddy ploughed strip, I scribbled directly on to the paper and then added water with a wet brush. You can also lift colour directly from the lead – like you would a traditional watercolour pan. However, this will weaken the lead, making it harder to sharpen or draw with. It can also cause water to leech into the wooden barrel and will affect the useable life of your pencil. You can use Watercolour Pencils with all kinds of techniques (from top left to bottom right): shavings activated with water, wet nib on dry paper, wet splatter on dry paper, wet nib on wet paper, wash made from wet on wet splatter and strokes activated with water.
