Watercolor Pencil Visual

Watercolor pencils can be used in so many different ways! This Watercolor Pencil Techniques Visual gives young artists an easy reference for exploring how water, pencils, brushes, paper, and layering can change the look of their marks.

The visual introduces a variety of techniques, including adding water to colored and watercolor pencils, using dry or wet pencils on different surfaces, experimenting with wet, damp, and soaking-wet brushes, blending colors, and mixing colors through layers. Sample swatches make it easier for kids to see what each technique can produce before trying it themselves.

A QR code links to a video tutorial for additional guidance, making this a helpful resource for independent exploration as well as teacher-led instruction.

Use it as a classroom or studio visual, painting-center reference, lesson companion, or anytime young artists need ideas for experimenting with watercolor pencils.
