Watercolor pencils are a lot of fun to use as a base for a colored pencil drawing, or on their own. Learn how to use these fun materials as we draw beautiful fruit.

Materials needed: 5”x7” pad of hot press (smooth) watercolor paper (I use Stonehenge hot press), graphite pencils 2H and HB, pencils sharpener with catcher (best is one specifically for colored pencil), and a ruler or dividers, basic sets of artist’s watercolor and standard colored pencils (I use Polychromos and Albrecht Durer) (please avoid the Prismacolor specialty and botanical sets, as they lack basic blending colors), 1 or 2 small water containers or jars, Cotman or Princeton Lauren or other good quality synthetic watercolor brushes in sizes 6, 4 &1.
