Watercolor Pencils vs Watercolor Paint

Introduction 00:00 Preliminary pencil sketch 1:30 Layer 1 2:51 Layer 2 14:24 Layer 3 23:53 Final observations 27:39 As you know, I've created numerous step-by-step tutorials on both watercolor pencils and traditional watercolor painting. This said, I've never shared a side-by-side comparison of both mediums so that we can more easily observe the differences/similarities in terms of both the process and the end results. To kick off the new year, I wanted to create this video for you in which I'm painting a pear with both mediums. 👩‍🎨 I'm sharing my 3-layer process and my favorite techniques that help me arrive at results I love. I've also included my final observations at the end of the video, where I list out the main similarities and differences. Hope you enjoy this one and find it super helpful! 💙 ► Supplies Used: -Derwent Graphic Pencils (HB) https://shrsl.com/4d8ry -Faber-Castell Dust-Free Eraser https://amzn.to/41LlCoa -Kneaded Eraser https://amzn.to/41Lo66e -Strathmore Watercolor Paper 140 lb. 100% Cotton Ready Cut 8x10” Cold Press Paper https://amzn.to/3S7PYy3 -Royal & Langnickel Zen Watercolor Brush (Round 14) https://shrsl.com/4d8s7 -Princeton Aqua Elite Watercolor Brush (Round 3) https://amzn.to/3SaZXmw -Goldfaber Aqua Watercolor Pencils https://shrsl.com/4d8sj *Colors: 104-Light Yellow Glaze, 170-May Green, 173-Olive Green Yellowish, 187-Burnt Ochre, 176-Van Dyke Brown -Winsor & Newton Professional Watercolors https://shrsl.com/4d8so *Colors: Winsor Lemon, Raw Sienna, Burnt Umber -St.Petersburg White Nights Russian Green *Not currently available on Amazon or Blick. ► More helpful watercolor pencil and paint tutorials: Pumpkin Value Study Pencil Block-in process can be seen here    • Pumpkin Value Study Pencil   Watercolor Pencils 101    • Watercolor Pencils for Beginners Must Know...   Watercolor Pencil Macaw    • How to Paint a Bird with Watercolor Pencils   Red Bell Pepper Watercolor Pencil Tutorial    • Step by Step Watercolor Pencil Tutorial fo...   Watercolor Pencil Orange Still Life    • Watercolor Pencil Oranges Tutorial   Watercolor Pencil Yellow Rose    • Beginner Friendly Watercolor Pencil Flower...   Watercolor Pink Doughnut Tutorial    • Watercolor Tutorial Bright And Fun Doughnu...   Watercolor Realistic Ice Cream Cone    • How to Paint Ice Cream with Watercolor   Watercolor Window Tutorial    • Beautiful Watercolor Window Step by Step T...   My pencil sketching/block in process is explained here- Drawing Tutorial for Beginners Contour Lines    • Drawing Tutorial for Beginners Contour Lines   ► Find my courses on Gumroad here: https://erikalancasterartist.gumroad.... ► Join my Patreon community for exclusive real-time sketching and watercolor tutorials, individualized feedback from me on your work, classes on Art Fundamentals, live art practice and chat every month, and more:   / erika_lancaster_artist   ► Access my full art courses over on Skillshare and get 1 FREE month to enjoy all sorts of amazing creative classes https://www.skillshare.com/en/r/user/... ► Become an art email insider to receive special messages from me and resources to help you improve your sketching and watercolor skills: https://lancaster-e85-gmail-com.ck.pa... ► Visit the Artist Merch Studio Shop for great gifts for artists and gear to help you stay inspired: https://www.etsy.com/shop/artistmerch... ► Gear + Art Business Tools: -Canon T6 EOS Rebel DSLR Camera https://amzn.to/2Xt69HY -Manfrotto 196B-2 143BKT 2-Section Single Articulated Arm with Camera Bracket (Black) https://amzn.to/2l7HJ8j -Yeti Microphone https://amzn.to/3PtzE9G -LED Lights for Video Filming https://amzn.to/45JPfrd -MacBook Pro 16 inch https://amzn.to/3sFavQe *Disclaimer: This channel is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to amazon.com.
