[Pink Chocolate]

Which type of colouring pencils do you have/prefer to use?

[DoubleDutch]

I have both watercolour pencils and prismas, but I do prefer the prismacolour pencils overall and use them the most.

I like Aquatones, though I suppose they're another form of watercolour

(Ooh, also like to watercolour with my Sakura stardust pens on bits that I want a little bit of sparkle or usually on my Bellas cos I think a girl's gotta have a bit of bling )

never done that before do u do it in exactly the same way as with pencils?

Ooh yes, watercolouring with the stardust pens is fun and so blingy! Prismas get my vote as I love the fact the colour is much more vibrant than I seem to get with my watercolours.

Yup, just scribble a bit of colour with the stardust and then wash with the watercolour pen.

Depends on the paper, if I think it's going to absorb the ink too quickly before I get a chance to spread the colour out with my brush or if I don't want that deep a colour then I'll scribble a bit of the ink onto a bit of scrap plastic or acetate and pick the colour up with my brush and then add it to my image.

I've put watercolour pencils as I don't have the others but I also use H2Os sometimes too. Not really tired watercolouring with Sakura stardust pens, will have to try that.

I have just got 50 Prismacolor Watercolor Pencils coming just hoping there going be ok i paid just over £5.00 for them shipping was on top but still think it comes to under £15.00 all together as there coming from the U.S please don't tell me i paid over the odds for them. Also i don't know what colours im getting. Would love to know what anyone thinks good or bad

I use a set of Caran D'Ache watercolour pencils which I've had since my art college days-20 years ago!!!

[Shyposter]

I use watercolour pencils (derwent) but I don't think that the prismas most people on here use are the watercolour ones (they're oil based so that's why you need the blending solution to make them blend).
