Watercolour Crayons put into Practise
#v13858
A watercolour painting with watercolours; a technique where the colour is diluted with water, making it transparent on white paper. It's illustrated here with watercolour crayons; the colour is applied dry and then painted over with a brush and water.

1. Sketch a design on watercolour paper with a pencil, preferably with an HB grade because it gives a fine line without smudging. Use waterproof crayons; eg:- Neocolor I, as an alternative.
2. Important (if the watercolour paper is not from a pad with glued edges): Attach the paper onto the work table with masking tape, preventing the paper from bowing upwards when painting. A tip: protect the table by placing a plastic pocket underneath.
3. When sketching with a pencil: Paint with watercolour crayons. Here we have used Neocolor II. Dip the brush in water and brush over the colouring crayons until they blend.
