You come across as such a kind and gentle soul Charles. You have a wonderful talent and relaxing way of demonstrating your skill. Good to see you back man. Stay safe and well. 🙏👍🎨

Wow, your sketchbook is really amazing, its full of interesting memories.

Thank You! I happened upon your book Quick and Clever watercolor pencils at a second hand store and snatched it up. I have 2 sets of pencils and didn't know how to use them so thanks for the tutorial and showing your sketchbooks.

Im so happy to have found your channel. I recently became 16 years old and got accepted into a prestigious art school in Germany. Im looking forward to learning from you ! You explain it in such a simple and calm demeanor...it really takes away the fear of trying something new :). I aspire to be such cool artist like you one day ૮₍˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶₎ა

I enjoy watching you paint/sketch. It’s fun to see our styles are so much alike.

Yessssss! Thank you for showing some tips to use with watercolor pencils. I smiled while watching this because it made me believe I could do something with my new watercolor pencil set I just got. Love your artwork ♥️

Thanks for your time and generosity in doing this video! I've been rather struggling with watercolor pencils and am anxious to put your techniques to use!

Glad to have you back. Thanks for today's advice I appreciate it. Going to give this a go now that I know how.

Glad to see you back! I found this really enjoyable. I love the idea of starting the painting in the field then finishing it once you return home. I have just always used watercolor pencils when I don't want to drag everything out and have a short period of time, like waiting in the doctor's office. I have never used my watercolor brushes with them but rather water brushes, since it requires no water container. Derwent makes a nice roll that has enough space for three water brushes, a spritzer, small sharpener, and 24 pencils. This travels with me everywhere in my tote. Look forward to more ideas like these!

Great to see you back Charles. I love the practical advice in your videos and it’s brilliant to see you work through your sketches in real time. So pencils and sketch book in hand it’s out to the hills I go. Much appreciated and stay safe.

It was good to see such a talented artist using this medium. I love watercolor pencils and use them in most of my work. Since I usually do life drawings from models, it’s really useful to have something that allows for speed. If you haven’t tried them, I would suggest that you try using a water brush with this type of color pencil. Having the water feed in the handle is quite helpful, but another good thing is how stiff but flexible the bristles are. Sometimes the pigment seems to require a stiffer brush than a regular brush and the water brushes fulfill this, while keeping a good point.

You are a JOY to watch! I always felt so awkward using watercolor pencils even after watching other KZfaq artists, but something about your calming explanation and your beautiful art makes me want to dive right back into this media! ❤️

There is nothing more satisfying than Watercolor and Pen and Ink... These Watercolor Pencils are new to me... I'm very old school... LOL Thank you so much for sharing this great video...

Welcome back! Love your book(let).

SO MUCH BEAUTY TO MEMORALISE IN COLOR- SO LITTLE TIME! I AM ABSOLUTELY, BLOWN AWAY BY YOUR SKILL!! PLUS, YOU HAVE A GOOD SENSE OF HUMOR! THANKS FOR SHARING YOUR KNOWLEDGE ON KZfaq!! I USE KZfaq AS A A FREE LEARNING TOOL EVERY DAY- THANKS TO THE GENEROSITY OF ALL THE AMAZING PEOPLE - WHO JUST LOVE TO SHARE THERE KNOWLEDGE- FREE!!

Loved this video I’ve just started drawing and painting so I’m learning as much as possible 🙂

what a practical artist. approaching the skill in a simplistic manner. thank you

I just bought some not too long ago! Good to see you back with a tutorial that will show me how to use them properly! Thanks!

Gracias ! Me encantó, siempre le tuve “miedo” a la acuarela, tú lo haces ver fácil! Tus libros de dibujos muy lindos, ojalá un día pueda hacer uno igual. Saludos

Thank you! I learned more technique in the past half hour than I have through trial and error in the past four years!

Thank you for taking the time to put these videos together - I truly appreciate it. I just bought your watercolor pencil ebook and seeing these videos really helps me learn. With much gratitude, Dan

I enjoyed your sketchbook; especially Norfolk, where I’ve lived for for 40 years. You captured it’s essence superbly. As I’m a beginner, I copy your watercolours and it feels good to bring a painting to life, albeit with your expert tutorials. I just love watching you create. Thankyou for all your videos Regards Richard.😊

I’ve had these watercolor pencils for ages, but wasn’t entirely sure how to use them! Now I know! Wonderful timing, as a friend and I are driving to Lake Michigan to paint tomorrow . It will be very convenient to use my watercolor pencils to make some lovely en plain aire art! I can’t wait to try this! Thank you, once again for a timely and educational video. 🇺🇸

Great demo Charles. Glad you’re back.

Lovely, your such a talented artist. Love your work. Thank you.

Love my watercolor pencils! Use them quite a bit in my sketchbook. Thanks for a great video! Glad you’re back!!

I smiled the whole time I watched this..This is just what I needed to start my day! Your sketch books are lovely and so are you!

Your sketchbook has such impressive paintings! Thank you for showing us how you use watercolour pencils. Would love some more videos on this.

I’m really pleased you covered watercolour pencils.... 🙏🙏🙏

I first discovered you through your book "Acrylics for the absolute beginner" -I got it even though I have been painting with acrylics for years, and it opened a gate to a new world for me. You have a magical way of teaching. You make things seem so simple, I always think when reading you "oh, yes, so that's how to do that! That doesn't seem too hard!" and then suddenly I am improving! Today I find that you are on youtube too. What a blessing! Thank you. Be always well.

A fantastic tutorial, Charles. I have watercolours that I've had for ages, so just might get them out for a trial. Thank you so much.

Good morning Charles ...lovely to see you back god we,ve missed you, great little video packed with tips and technique as always.....hope your all well up there......

Thank you for this tutorial using watercolor pencils. I learned some things that I can't wait to try. Several years ago I illustrated a children's book for my cousin, and I chose watercolor pencils, not knowing the first thing about watercolors,much less the pencils. Things turned out fine, but I'm glad for any instruction I can get to use in future endeavors.

Thank you so much for all your great tips. I have recently started doing watercolors and enjoy it tremendously. Again thank you for your generosity.

how fun!! inspiring too to go on location with minimal supplies!! Thank you for teaching us!!

Não me canso de ver seus vídeos. São excelentes! Gratidão 🙏☀️🙏

Brilliant, very helpful and useful as always. Thankyou Charles, glad to see you back on with another video.

I absolutely love your sketch pad. What a wonderful thing to have to bring back memories in such a personal way. ⭐️

Yay! You're back! Thank you for this video! Lovely little painting! Never thought about applying water to watercolor pencils on the paper. Very neat! Take care, Charles! And please post more!

Love the painting directly behind you. Fab tutorial thanks Charlie 🤗 you are such a lovely chap and inspirational too 👍

What a treat to see a watercolor pencil demo. I already have some nice w/c pencils so, hey, you've inspired me! Have you ever rubbed your pencils with sandpaper over some wet paper for granulating results? I love that effect and use it for shading or for instance, the skin of a lemon. Shirley Trevana used that technique.

مبدع فنان رائع واسلوب جميل وسلسل...شكرا لك على الفيديو..استمر🎨🖌️

Brilliant!! I’m so happy I found your channel and book!! I’m connecting with my watercolor pencils better. 🙏🏻☺️🎨

Loved this new video on watercolour pencils. I have 2 of your watercolour books and two of your watercolour pencil books. Love them. Thank you!!!! Keep on with the watercolour pencil tutorials as there aren't many on You Tube.

So relaxing and easy to follow. I love that you dry your pencil on your sleeve!

I have been loving your vids Charles.. I am a watercolourist from New Zealand and sucking up your wisdom thank you very much for sharing your skills with us xx

Your demonstration with pencils was delightful! Thank you for sharing a project I can have fun doing!

very great wonderful paintings…..thanks for the inspiration

Hello Charles. Great to see you back. I love using watercolour pencils as well. Thanks for a great demo.

Thank you for coming back we miss you

Neuroscience research shows that handwriting study notes improves memory recall more than typing your notes in class. I like your point that you will remember so much more when you sketch what you see on location instead of (just) pressing a button. As a watercolorist, I tried to create pocket kits with some success, but it was still a balancing act, sitting on a rock above a river etc. Sketching is also something I enjoy, but I do crave color. I've just ordered some Inktense watercolor pencils after re-finding a small box of fantasia watercolor pencils I'd barely tried out years ago. That and a water pen a friend gave me 2 weeks ago. Thanks for your inspiration in this video.

Thanks for that Charles, I've been using/practicing with watercolour pencils since I bought a set, sorry 72, at patchings last year and am quite hooked. Some great tips for me to work on. X

Love your work! ❤

Loved loved loved it! Can’t wait to try some of my own.

Happy to see you again!! 😊

Thank you so much for this. I am 73 and decided that I want to learn how to watercolor and use watercolor pencils but after watching many videos on youtube for both mediums I just wasn't clear which way to go to learn what exactly. This is too perfect for words! I can't wait to make a sketch (never have in my life or even a doodle) and get started. I liked and sub'd your channel. Tfs

Finally someone who uses watercolour pencils in a way that appeals to me. Mixing on the pencils is brilliant. I've been in a slump and this video has given me the kick in the butt that I needed. Thanks very much.

WOW! some fabulous tips here. Came across this by chance...I have some watercolor pencils for awhile...fairly beginner I am...so far, only succeeded in doing birds and signatures with them...hahaha...now I will begin to try truly using them!!!!

This was so fun to watch you make pencils come to life with water. Amazing simply amazing. Love watching you and learning for all the great tips you share.

Thank you for sharing your talent and uploading your video. I learned a lot, Stay safe, and looking forward to your next video.

I’m glad KZfaq suggested you. You’re very helpful, and entertaining to watch... and loved looking through your sketch book. I’m watching from Kalamazoo, Michigan btw

I am completely besotted with the way you do your tutorials. Thank you for being who you are and like some not talking "down" on us as much of the so called famous people do. ................

Just discovered your You Tube videos! Can I say I’m so excited!! Thank you for sharing!

Down to earth simple tips and techniques. You make it so easy that anyone can do it. Love it. Thankful and grateful.

i knew i bought those watercolour pencils 3 years ago for a reason, that's me off to the attic to find out where they are! Thanks very much Charles for a brilliant, informative lesson. As always you make art appear easy and affordable.

Lovely to see you back Charles 🙂. I love all your videos, you are so easy to follow. Thank you

Thank you for this video! It was so much fun scetching and painting together! I learned a great deal too.

Your teaching style that's so calm, skilled and "it's that easy" felt Bob Ross like, super relaxing and enjoyable, and so inspirational and educational. :)

Brilliant video and filled with great ideas. Bought some wc pencils yesterday as a pre birthday treat. I never thought of half the things in this but like a magician once you show and explain it seems so obvious. Mixing on a pencil lead!!! Great sketchbook, Show us more especially how you adapted one and what the finished studio work looked like. Thanks.

I really appreciate this video you shared. Your thorough explanation coupled with the demonstration cleared the how and the why of doing watercolor this way. It is energizing for me. I would love to see those books of sketches you created in a few video's dedicated to them. What I did see was inspiring and I want to do my own. It would be helpful if the books were laid flat on a flat surface so the camera will reveal your talent. Well lit, pages being still communicates your works in a better way. Thank you so much for showing and teaching all of us.

Hi Charles great to see you back and thanks for sharing your wonderful talent ,loved this ,🌼🌼

Thanks,you reconciled me whith my watercolour pencils that I trouble using ! It’s lovely

Fascinating to see your working approach. Thank you very much for letting us share your techniques and experience. We are lucky to be able to learn these tips from a good teacher with a generous style.

I'm just starting to experiment with watercolor pencils and your video has been an inspiration, thank you! I hope one day to have sketchbooks filled with memories just like you

Love your demo's. I am going to try watercolor pencils.

Hiya Charles, thanks very much for the video. The demo' itself makes a lovely painting on its own and the vignette effect is really gorgeous. Take care.x

Very good instructional! Glad to see a new video from you. I purchased pencils some time ago and have had limited success with them, need to get them out more. My use of them has been limited to repairing a small area or sharpening a detail line. This video has spurred me to using them for a painting. Thanks for sharing.

Love watching and listening to you. You are inspiring. Trying to get back into doing some art again. So I started with you. You make it look so easy with your no fuss attitude. Love your work.

Love these hints on how to use watercolour pencils. Need more.

Nice one Charlie. I've got a lot from your tutorials. They started me taking my watercolours seriously. Cheers mate.

Thank you for your explanation, I'm already having Pencils... I need to get some paper... Then I'm going to start whit it.... I love the way you easily get to the point

Thanks for the video ,Charles. Im sure i could try this method of art whilst babysitting my grandson since unlike painting i can stop and start as needed and less equipment to deal with. Very interesting and as always so helpful. Thanks once again for sharing and great to see you back on youtube.

I am so glad I found your channel, thank you for sharing your talents

So wonderful to see your sketches. They are all lovely. And such variation in subjects.

That was so relaxing to watch. I usually do realism work but I have just bought some watercolour pencils as I want to totally try something new. Looking forward to the learning. Thanks Charles

Loved your video. I was struggling to paint skies in watercolour paint but after watching your video, I’m using watercolour pencils and find it a lot easier to blend and get the effect I’m wanting .👍

Love your watercolor pencil demo.Thank you

Enjoyed your watercolor pencil techniques very much. Thanks!

Great video. Really happy to have found it.

have had a set of water colour pencils for some time now, but never new how to use them ,i do now , and the book, is well worth having its with me always when painting .thank you Charles for your time and the lesson

Thank you for this tutorials, its a refreshing to the soul to make a wonderful artwork, I was just starting with watercolor pencils and watching your tutorials makes me want to create more in a very relaxing way. God bless you ☺️

Yahoo! A new video! Thank you sooo much, Charles! 💜

Another brilliant demonstration. Have just started to use Water Coluored pencils this Year. Your teaching techniques are I could watch over and over again. Keep up with more Videos please.

I have missed your classes, so glad you are back...my lessons begin again...from Minnesota USA

Ok I just started watching this and I’m only 2 minutes in but I just have to say.... Absolutely BEAUTIFUL artwork! My grandma showed me a little bit of how to use water color pencils when I did a project for a mythology project in high school. That was years ago now. But I loved using them and I thought I’d try to learn a bit more about them. So I’m watching your video. I think I clicked on a good one. :)

Thank you! I just ordered couple of your books!

It's a testament to your incredible skill and talent that you make this look so easy, as I know it's not! You have so much experience and knowledge under your belt, and it is so obvious watching you draw and paint! Thanks so much for the video :-)

Nice to see you back again, Charles. You look well. Obviously weathering the bug business just fine. Thanks for another great video full of great hints and techniques. I will maybe have to try the pencils again. :)

Very useful info on using Watercolor pencils...will be going back to the drawing board with mine....really like the lovely English scenes

So lovely...free spirited. Thank you 💕
