Sketch a design on watercolour paper with a pencil, preferably with HB grade as it gives a fine line without smudging.

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.

A tip: Children can benefit from using thick watercolour pencils, as they are more robust and easier to handle; eg:- Woody from Stabilo and Groove 3in1 from Lyra.
