II. Methods of Using Watercolors on Different Materials
1. Canvas Using watercolor pencils on canvas is the most common method. Prepare the corresponding watercolor pencils, paints, and watercolor canvas, and choose your preferred painting technique to create your artwork. Note that different canvas materials (such as oil canvas and canvas) may produce different painting effects, so choose according to your creative needs.2. Sketchbooks
Sketchbook materials are thin, with strong watercolor penetration, resulting in a natural and moist effect. However, note that the paper may be easily blurred and penetrated, so it is recommended to choose a high-quality sketchbook and use thin watercolor paints as much as possible. 3. Paper When using watercolor pencils on regular paper, choose absorbent papers such as rice paper or cotton paper. These papers can better absorb the paint and make the picture more vivid. At the same time, pay attention to controlling the amount of paint and the application force to avoid paper tears or excessive blending. 4. Plastic Products When painting on plastic products, choose special watercolor or acrylic paints. These paints are fade-resistant and waterproof, suitable for painting on plastic surfaces. Pay attention to maintaining a wet and even brush stroke to ensure even color distribution. 5. Fabric Using watercolor pencils on fabric requires specialized textile fiber paints or water-resistant watercolor paints. Mix the paint with water and apply it evenly to the fabric using a brush or spray gun. Pay attention to controlling the amount of paint and application force to avoid damaging the texture and structure of the fabric.
