Did some experimenting yesterday. I have several pencils
that are labeled, “Sketch & Wash” I have had them for a long time. The are
almost used up. Just about 2 or 3 inches left, but I have only used them for
sketching. They are nice, soft, dark pencils but I have not used them with
water.
Never gave it a thought. I bought them originally on
impulse. I was on my way to the Gallery, and planned to stop at Ritter Park for
a while first to sketch, and had forgotten my pencil pouch. So I stopped and
bought these mostly because they were inexpensive.
Yesterday, I was sketching some chrysanthemums, those nice
spidery ones that are all long petals and weird angles. I pulled out these
pencils, because they are nice and dark. Than thought, Why not? I grabbed a
soft brush, and a small saucer of water and played around a bit.
I love them!
Wish I had the whole pencils again! I will have to check out
the art supply store and buy more.
