    Thank you so much. You make this look so easy. I learned so much from you. I will be practicing, practicing, and then practicing some more!

    Wonderful demonstration of watercolour pencil portrait, Françoise. Thank you so much.
  • @paigeme886
    I’ve been watching so many of your videos and this is again wonderful . She is so beautiful and think I’ve fallen in love with watercolour pencils after the past few days. I saw your paper comparison but wonder if you have tried other brands of watercolour paper? I have some saunders ( and arches) & wondered your thoughts about how the pencils behave on it. I noticed differences
  • Awesome and clear video thanks. Do you protect your ready made paintings somehow? I try to move from acrylic painting to these and wonder in anything like varnish is used for these paintings
  • @penniecormier8770
    I’d love to try this and have a set of Faber Castels, what colors did you use?
  • @ivmara9987
    You must be using the Indigo. I wish I have that color. That's very essential for achieving off black tones. And BTW, I just finished the portrait that I did without using Neutral Colors. I only used vibrant colors and Ultramarine Blue is my darkest.
  • This was really great! Do you always activate the watercolor pencil? Or do you sometimes leave them, like in the stray hairs?
  • Does watercolor pencil work more good than normal watercolour😊and i have to ask whether acrylic colour or watercolor which works more realistic
  • @elanalevin6934
    Which colors are in the base skin tone? Is it’s just red and yellow or is there some brown too?
  • @ivmara9987
    Honestly, the lifting technique doesn't work very well for Goldfaber Aqua applied on any paper that has cotton content. That's why my best match for these pencils is the cheapest Canson Watercolor in the market.
  • @canhdoantrung477
    What brand of paper do you use to draw with watercolor pencils? Which type is most suitable? Give me a few options. Thank you!
