Colored pencil tips




Sharon,
Thanks for replying to my post. I did have an airbrush at one time and did not like using it and cutting friskets, maybe because all of that seems to be to far removed from a brush and a pencil, I don't know for sure. However, I wonder if I could get the same affect using a watercolor brush to put a nice even wash over the pencil undercoat.
Why do you use layers of colored pencil first, then coat with watercolor? Does it seem to give more depth that way? Just curious.
I'm going to try that technique out without airbrush first and see how that works for me. I'll check into the pastel book and video as well, Does anyone know of any other books just in case I can't locate the Daniel Greene book? Thank you much.
Amy
