Dipped pencils


Using w/c pencils dipped in water has never been successful for me. In this case, I had a long sharpened point and stroked it on the side. The water carried by the wood section erratically dissolved the pigment. This random spiral shows the texture that emerges.

Prismacolor pencils on Aquabee sketchpaper. I'm waiting for my Palomino w/c pencils to arrive and I'll see the difference.

you know, when I used wc pencils, I drew with them on wc paper first...then used a wc brush dipped in water and painted using the strokes I'd made. I didn't try dipping the pencil...but I will now. I really like what you created here!
Well, I see that my husband did not sign out after "blogging"...so this comment will look like it came from HIM! (cosmos)
