My New Watercolor Obsession? (Trust me, this is SO EASY!)

Are Derwent’s Inktense watercolor pencils going to change the way I create? Today I’m exploring them to find the answer to that question! I’ve been using Staedtler’s Karat Aquarell black watercolor pencil for many years and I’m always thrilled by the intense black it gives up when you touch it with a brush. Today I’ve been enjoying that same experience in technicolor! Join me as I explore and experiment my way through a set of 12 Inktense pencils (and a couple of Graphitint pencils) and use them in my loose and free style to sketch and “paint” a whimsical scene from my farm in France. Watch carefully and you’ll see how easy it is to control the color, and the best part is that there’s no time pressure! The pencil will wait patiently for you to be ready to add water! I’m already excited to try this method for my nature journal, sketching with the Inktense pencils outside and then coming back to the studio to add the water. And these plus a water brush would make a simple but effective travel set.

About my brushes
I have always bought my favorite brushes from Drawell direct from Japan. They are handmade in Japan. Drawell will ship readily to anywhere in the world. The prices on their website are in Japanese currency but if you send Mr Maeyama an email he will give you prices in other currencies. The brushes I use are the Golden Nylon Series 11-2, and I use mostly sizes 7or 9 and 10 and 13. www.drawell.co.jp/english/prod...

When you’ve watched this video why not check out my Adorable Chickens and Wild Flowers - How to Paint Watercolour Botanicals Step by Step Tutorial

@donnacarraway9182

I’m so glad to see this video!! I don’t know if I should share this or not….but after my divorce, I felt so liberated or something that I bought all kinds of art supplies and seem to keep doing that!! Anyway I’m very fortunate to have some of those and of course see if I NEED more colors!! I should really stop!🙃😂Thank you Diane!!💕

@mollyfender9816

Oh my goodness! Thank you for sharing some of your sketchbooks with us. Lovely and inspiring. My daughter was born in 1986 - the year of the first sketchbook you leafed through! Since i found you and adopted you as my teacher I have filled several sketchbooks ... and now I want to bind some of my loose paintings in a homemade sort of sketchbook. I'm proud to call you my teacher!

“…then your heart is monster, like my husband.” I just had to laugh out loud. So funny!

It just wouldn’t be a good day without hearing Diane say “quinacridone gold”. ❤️

@marlaonishi3640

Your drawing/painting is lovely with a folk art touch. I love how you are open to using new media -shows how young at heart you are.

@lizohagan8233

I have always resisted the impulse to buy these pencils. I have a lot of ordinary watercolour pencils, which I felt were lacking in intensity. This was even when I pressed harder on the page. I have changed my mind now, having seen the lovely vibrant picture you have created. Thank you so much for this lovely video.

@deirdrelewis1454

Your happy medium is paint, mine is definitely pencils. I have a set of 24 Lyra aquarelle pencils which I mainly use to sketch, then fill in with paint. I am in awe of anyone who just picks up a brush and paints whatever they want. Without a drawing, I can’t do anything! I’m doing far more mixed media these days, so this is right up my alley.

@jayf1043

I have always wanted to draw and paint and have never persevered beyond a few pages in a sketch book. Watching your videos, Diane, makes me wish I had persevered. There is so much pleasure in seeing you transform a white page into a view I long to explore. I will break out my paints and pencils once more and try again. And I will continue to watch you because it gives me such peace. Thank you.

Background trees look done. Just an impression of trees.

@lindamcdermott9980

I was captivated the moment you touched the pencil marks with the water! I have owned watercolor pencils for years and never really used them like this. I am totally amazed. I can’t wait to try them. …. And that is not the only takeaway from this video…. The sheep positions and personalities as well as the chickens, I don’t know why I have never drawn or painted them. Probably because I don’t see any where I live. But in my defense, I saw a turtle the other day, sketched it, and painted it in my daily art journal! Diane, you have inspired me in so many ways. Sometimes I watch the same videos over and over…. And still can’t wait for the next one. Thank you for making my art and my life so much richer. (I’m from Pennsylvania, USA)

I have a 36 set of Derwent Inktense and I like to use them alongside my usual watercolour’s and mixed media xx

@dweamy1

I have my inktense set and absolutely love them. They are not water colours but ink, so lifting colour isn't so easy, but such fun working with them.

@lynneellis2647

What a wonderful use of Inktense Pencils. Now I want these pencils for my supply addiction.

@angelacahill9083

Love the fact that you can use water with the pencils. Beautiful drawing/painting! Thank you!

@barbaraellingsen4997

I have a set of 72 Artistro watercolor pencils that I have barely used. Thanks for the encouragement to get them out and give them another go.

@hilarybailey2902

Thanks Diane. How beautifully you worked with those Ink Intense pencils. Your picture is charming and I loved watching it come to life.

@janebaxter841

Thank you Diane for sharing your sketch books and giving us all a peek into your life at an earlier time. Also for sharing your current farm life, along with permission to use the views of your farm for our own creations, you are so very generous. I also appreciate hearing the animals in the background -along with the very thirsty dog - while you share your art work which I always love, this one today is no exception, just delightful. Wishing you and your heartless monster of a husband (
