Faber-Castel Albrecht Dürer Watercolour pencils behave in the same way as classic watercolour paints. Depending on the paper being used, the pigments can be completely dissolved. It is available in 120 colours and is fast becoming one of my favourite pencils.
Head over to Stencil-Art Facebook Page, answer the question posted and stand a chance to win a set of 36 Faber-Castel Albrecht Dürer Watercolour pencils, Faber-Castel waterbrush and a pad of 12 pages of Daler-Rowney Aquafine Smooth Watercolour Paper to the value of R1540.
1. I am working in my Stencil-Art Art Journal with 200gsm Modigliani paper. Roughly sketch
flowers and stems with 263 Caput Mortuum Violet.
2. Activate the pencil with Tim Holtz Detail Waterbrush filled with water. Tip: fill the
refillable squeeze writer bottle with water to refill the waterbrush - the long plastic nozzle
fits perfectly into the water chamber of the brush.
Add colour to stems using :
- 173 Olive Green Yellowish
- 165 Juniper Green
- 177 Walnut Brown
- 107 Cadmium Yellow
3. Add colour to the flowers using:
- 160 Manganese Violet
- 137 Blue Violet
- 140 Light Ultramarine
- 120 Ultramarine
- 119 Light Magenta
- 123 Fuchsia
- 191 Pompeian Red
- 111 Cadmium Orange
4. Add water to the centres of the flowers and use sandpaper to shave pigment from
175 Sepia.
5. Outline the petals and stems with Pigma Micron 03 black pen and add dots to the
centres of the flowers.
6. Use a pencil and softly write the quote making use of the Stencil-Art Typo Quotes 1
(STNL00805) stencil. Use the black Posca PC-1M paint marker to finish off the quote.
