Hi, Naomi. I bought a product before seeking help on the internet and seeing your video. I live in a place with few retail options for art supplies and bought a Faber-Castell soft, moist pair of erasers which was packaged as 1 red and 1 blue. I am working on coloured pencil laid down 1-2 years ago and it does a terrible job. Is OLD coloured work particularly difficult to remove?
@NaomiCoutureArt

@@billyleonard1722 I wouldn’t say it’s difficult to remove but some things to consider: has it been in a warm location that gets a good amount of sun or heat. That can make the colored pencil stick more. Did you use a spray over it, workable or final. What paper are you using. Colored pencil erases easier on more hardy thick papers like a hot pressed watercolor paper. Also did you use any other mediums or blending techniques like using odorless mineral spirits which sinks the pencil deeper into the paper. If you need an area to be white or change color without ruining the paper look up brush and pencil touch up texture and titanium white. I have a video using it. It creates an opaque white. It’s archival over colored pencil and once it’s dry you can actually go over it with colored pencil and change the color. Hope that helps you ☺️

@@NaomiCoutureArt Thank you, sweetie! No, just pencilled colour onto 80 grams-per-square-meter copy paper. I'm no artist; I was putting some colour onto homemade game cards! No worries. I'll try it one more time and then try Blu-Tac and if no luck, I'll put the idea of a return to white behind me! Compared to vivisection and animal slaughter, it's somehow just not important enough. :)

I think people miss the point of Cotman. These are really high-quality paints for amateur artists. I read somewhere that J. M.W. Turner, one of the greatest of all watercolourists, never had any paints at his disposal that were of quality equal to today’s Cotmans-and that was from an art historian, not a W & N employee.

@NaomiCoutureArt
@NaomiCoutureArt 4 ай бұрын
These are pastel pencils not wax or oil based. Honestly they feel pretty close, the stabilo probably blends a bit easier as they are softer. If you looking to cover a large area you would go through a lot of your pencil. If you using pastels I would look into pan pastels or pastel sticks for a base layer and then use the pastel pencil for details on top. If you’re looking for colored pencils I like derwent lightfast or prismacolor for large areas and polychromos for details. I have a few videos using both colored pencils and pastels if you want to see how each work. I hope this helps.

Just fyi, there's something really sketchy going on w/ the Liquid White Colored Pencil. I also got a sample in my ScrawlrBox but waited too long to try it and it had dried up. So I tried to buy it a year or so ago and it wasn't available at all, anywhere. On her IG there were a lot of complaint comments and she hadn't posted for anything for a while. I just used your link today to Etsy and commenters are upset as they were allowed to pay for the product but never received it. Ugh! Anyway I had ordered the Titanium White & Touch Up Texture so your vid is so helpful for that!

This might be a dumb question, but do you think I could make my own liquid white by mixing the brush and pencil products together into an empty dropper bottle with a mixing ball? I love the brush and pencil stuff but sometimes it’s kind of a pain to have to mix them together when I want to use it. And I’m not all too impressed with the product in the bottle you demonstrated to use that instead. I figure if I can mix them together in my own bottle it will keep it from drying out and will make it a lot more convenient to use. What do you think?

I recognize that you reviewed the Derwent WSG pencils with wood, not the woodless ones, so these comments may not be totally relevant. I have the Derwent woodless water soluble graphite pencils set of 3 which I don't use for a number of reasons. There is little variation between the light, medium and dark pencils. The pencils don't sharpen to an exact point, so I can only get thick lines from them, not the fine lines I prefer for my style of detailed work. I find it extremely difficult to control the shape of the drawing once water is applied because the graphite bleeds beyond the area it's applied to. It dries quickly and when dry, it can no longer be moved around. You cannot lift it and you cannot erase it, therefore, the only way to correct a drawing is to keep applying more and more graphite, hoping you can get it to work. It usually doesn't. Additionally, I keep breaking the pencils when I apply a slight bit of pressure, so I now have a bunch of small hard to use pencil pieces. This is one of those are supply purchases I regret. On the other hand, I totally love the FC WSG pencils. I usually work on Bristol paper. I have much more control over the line quality because these pencils can be sharpened to an exact point. The graphite applies in a predictable way with clear definition between the various hardnesses. They react with water in a consistent and controllable way. Because FC WSG is not permanent when dry, it's easy to move the graphite around to achieve the exact shade desired, or you can lift it if you find you applied too much. Although not completely erasable after water has been applied, you can lighten areas with a standard eraser. I don't have issues with FC WSG bleeding beyond the edges of my drawing. Additionally, I really love combining them with watercolor and colored pencils to add a bit of subtle color to my drawings. The only drawback I find is that because these can be reactivated, they do interact with watercolor and cause the wc to gray out a bit. In my opinion there's no comparison. FC makes the best product - hands down.
