Watercolor Line Work No. 2, Tammy Garcia

• Without water:Use like a regular colored pencil
• Dry then wet: Color your drawing and then paint over the area with a brush and plain water.
• Wet the pencil tip: Dip the watercolor pencil in a cup of water first then apply to the paper. 
• Wet the paper first: Dip your brush in a cup of water and run it over the area you are working on. You can then add color onto the wet surface with your watercolor pencil.
