Playing with Derwent Pencils
Playing with Derwent watercolor pencils at a fine arts workshop. We were given the photo above for inspiration and we had to paint it on our own. The previous day we were taught how to handle the different types of water soluble pencils made by Derwent. I still want to refine some areas in this painting but wanted to tell you how much fun I had with these pencils.

I used the Watercolour, Graphitints, Sketching, Aquatone, and Inktense pencils. The sunglasses were painted with the inktense. They are more brilliant but they are permanent. I used the graphitints to trace my design. The Aquatone are woodless so I used them for the dark speckles.
I am designing several pieces with these pencils. One will be a painting on a silk scarf. Another one will be on watercolor paper with seashells and water,similar to these but without the sunglasses. And, the third piece I am designing will be using metallic pencils.
Email NildaRodri@aol.com if you would like me to teach your group how to use these water soluble pencils.
