This is the photo of the artwork after the Zoom video.
Keep in mind that the colors and values are not exact.
The rest of the photos are the stages of the parrot after working on it in the additional videos. I am concentrating on values, light and shadow as well as detail and color.
This shows about how I would crop this.
Some final thoughts. I have shown you a few ways to apply and use watercolor pencils as well as how to lift, erase, and make textures. There are many other ways to to use them.
Watercolor pencils can be used 100% dry because they are colored pencils and the solvent is water.
Watercolor pencils can be used as watercolor and applied in a more painterly fashion for the entire process. This is also true of regular colored pencils if used with solvent.
They can be used as an under drawing/under painting with colored pencil on top. They can be used in mixed media pieces along with watercolor, pen & ink, and colored pencil.
I hope you enjoy experimenting and find new ways to use them in your work. They are a fun and versatile medium!
