Watercolor pencils

I'm not really at ease with colors since I like to draw in black and white. But I've decided to try new things and challenge myself in 2015.
Seems like I've started in advance… lol!

Blending colors are not so easy. If I can mess up with the lines and have a correct result with the eyes...

I'm much more in difficulty when I need to add texture and relief to my object.
It's the case with the cup of tea. It's flat. Need to work on the light, the shadows and understand how to do it.

This cup was my first attempt. Not good but it was fun to try.

I've also try different technique to use the watercolor pencils. First by drawing and adding water. Then, by adding water and applying the pencil on it.

I've also seen a tutorial on Youtube were you using a scalpel to have small amount of pigments. It's for the sky when you already have painted the scenery…just to add a light color to the background.

Of course, I've wanted to try it but with green colors…
Jeez! Can't seem to be able to follow a single rule!

I was playing with ink and a card to create a realistic birch…Messed up all my trees outcome by adding the green…

He he he! Really need to practice and stop playing around!

Now, you know where to find me for the next couples of days… Buried under papers, water and pencils…Cursing!
