Easy and clean to use, water-soluble pencils are portable and infinitely versatile. Wendy Jelbert here gives lively step-by-step demonstrations of flowers, still-life, landscapes and buildings. Wendy demonstrates the myriad possibilities of water-soluble pencils and other forms of aquarelle media, such as pastels and water-dispersible coloured charcoal pencils. She offers guidance on using and combining these materials for painting and drawing, and shows a wide range of techniques including spraying with water and drawing on wet paper. Her colourful and varied drawings and paintings include fun exercises to get to know the media, helpful step-by-step demonstrations, and a gallery of finished paintings of flowers, gardens and still-life.
