Step-by-Step Guide

1. Prepare Your Workspace

• Choose a clean, flat surface to work on.
• Ensure you have all necessary materials within reach.

2. Sketch Your Design

• Lightly sketch your design on the paper using the watercolour pencils.
• You can use them dry for sketching, just like regular coloured pencils.

3. Add Colour to Your Sketch

• Apply the watercolour pencils to the areas you want to colour.
• Use light strokes for a softer colour and more pressure for a vibrant effect.
• Consider blending colours directly on the paper by layering different shades.

4. Activate the Watercolour Effect

• Dip a paintbrush into the jar of water, removing excess water by dabbing it on a paper towel if necessary.
• Gently apply the wet brush over the coloured areas to activate the watercolour effect.
• Blend the colours by moving the brush in a circular or sweeping motion.
• Rinse the brush in water when switching between different colours to avoid unwanted mixing.

5. Final Touches

• Let your artwork dry completely before handling it.
• You can add more pencil detail on top of dry areas for additional texture or highlights.

Tips for Best Results

• Experiment with different amounts of water to achieve various effects.
• Use a sharpened pencil for detailed work.
• Practice blending techniques to enhance your art skills.
