Hi Samantha !
Glad you clicked 🙂
I there are some similarities between watercolor and colored pencils… Layering (glazing) colors with pencils has a similar effect to layering watercolor.
But the fact that you paint and draw is already a big step towards learning watercolor. But it’s true watercolor handles pretty differently compared to acrylic 🙂

How to say it? Thank you seems not to be enough… I wish I were nearby and had the chance to watch you painting, and talking about art, and having toghether a cup of Jasmin tea. Your passion is very helpful for us, the… wannabeartists. And inspiring. And pushing us to do more, to be better.
As I said previously “thank you” is not enough.
Have a quiet Christmas!
Sincerely, Adriana

Thank you for your informative and encouraging emails and articles! I don’t always click, but when I do it’s always good. I just finished my first acrylic painting and am wanting to try watercolor again as I am starting to understand the brushes a bit more. I’ve always used pencils before this. Is there a way to learn watercolor from a pencil perspective? Lol it’s a stretch but had to ask.

Anthony, I read your email mail messages whenever they hit my in box. I feel compelled to tell you how helpful they are, either for new information or for good reminders. Your writing is clear, concise, and so well organized, impressively so. As a retired teacher, I appreciate it.

I am just learning to use watercolor for paintings. I am not an artist. I am and will always be a hobbies at best. I’ve searched online for tutorials, lessons, examples, and yours are the best I’ve found. Maybe next year I’ll have enough extra money to sign up for a real class.
