I've had this thing in the queue too long! It's no secret that I'm a materials hoarder. When I got the chance to score a set of General's Kimberly Watercolor Pencils, I jumped at the chance. I tried watercolor pencils a long, long time ago (before I really even knew a thing about watercolor painting in general), and didn't really do well with them. I needed to make up for lost time.  I really loved how these watercolor pencils turned out. They're smooth, vibrant, juicy, and blendable. BUT... they aren't watercolor paints! There's a real distinction between the two... See?  I love how I can get very gestural strokes with the watercolor pencils. It adds a lot of movement to the paper. I filmed a quick little tutorial on how to make your own ranunculus in the video below. I do hope you enjoy!      Add your own calligraphy to your florals, and you've got a VA-VA-VOOM piece that your friends and family will love! Don't know calligraphy yet? Consider taking my online class. It's THE BEST (if I do say so myself. ;)).
