by the way Moonlight.   there are "water colour pencils " you can buy.  you draw with them then using a medium brush with a good point, you put water on the drawing (carefully) and you have a 'watercolour' painting.   fascinating...I might buy some soon. seeing I'm inspired.

Thanks for the info Gill - never heard of these types of pencils.

soul, no they're just normal pencils. My biggest problem with these pencils is that I don't know how to do skin tone with the available colours. I had a google and it appears I need the more expensive Prismacolor pencils to achieve skin tone. I've got the Staedler Norris Club 144(36 colours). I'm experimenting with mixing colours.
