For Christmas I had a set of Derwent Water Colour pencils. I tried them out today and I loved them. For the very thick outlines I dipped the pencil in water and used it straight on the paper but for the rest I wet the brush and rubbed it over the pencil to pick up the colour. I did try colouring with the pencil and then spreading it but I prefer to brush the colour onto the brush first and then apply it to the paper. I find this doesn't wet the paper too much.
I bought a Watercolour Calendar and drew this rose from the picture for Jan 3rd & 4th which is called 'Red Rose' by Dennis Pendleton. The pencils work well and are easy and clean to use.
