Watercolor or water-soluble pencils are a unique cross-over between drawing and painting. You draw with them as you would with any pencil, but then if you run a wet brush over your drawing, the color is dispersed and turns into a watercolor wash. They have the advantage of being easy to use, relatively cheap, and don't leave you with a mess to clean up. The artist grade will give you the most vibrant and beautiful colors due to the high amount of pigment in them. How to Use Watercolor Pencils: Finish off your pencil sketch. Using a medium to small soft paintbrush, paint water over your picture. Make sure that your brush strokes go with the contours of your subject. Start out with a little bit of water, and add more to produce a more washed out effect. The more water is added, the lighter the color will become and the less you will see your pencil lines. However, if too much water is used, the colors will run. Use a smaller brush for detailed ares. Once your initial layer of water has dried, you can dip the pencils themselves into the water to add areas of intense color or details. Doing this provides a very strong color, and it is difficult to hide mistakes. If you wish to, you can go back over your picture now with another layer of shading colors. You may or may not want to add water to this layer.
