Water-soluble Pencils: 45 (Leisure Arts) - Softcover

This volume shows how to use water-soluble pencils, and how to achieve successful results with them. It discusses the pencils themselves, and the different techniques that can be used. It goes on to encourage the reader to take a little time to practice and get the "feel" of the pencils, then to experiment by using water with a brush or a spray. This is followed by many colourful examples of small still-life pastiches, progressing to demonstrations of full-sized finished paintings of landscapes, flowers, gardens and portraits. Wendy Jelbert is the author of "Atmospheric Landscapes in Watercolour" and "How to Use Water-Soluble Pencils and Other Aquarelle Media".
