Ever tried the watercolor variety?

That's what the set of golden ones are!

I guess they just look tan. But the big set on the lest are watercolor pencils.

Ohhhh, I couldn't read their label
I use them under my acrylic paints.

I don't think it was visible! Using them under acrylics is an interesting idea, and I'd love to know what it is you do with your acrylics if you wouldn't mind sharing.

I don't have pictures since it's been two years since I had time to paint, but basically I rough sketch the water color pencils wherever I need shading according to color then I use a wet brush to put down the acrylic and blend until the shading looks right. It's easier than using layers of acrylic and blending the goopy stuff together in small pieces of a bigger painting, if I need to blend large scale I do it the usual way since using the pencils would be more hassle at that point.

I need blue, but now I have to pick... Do I use watercolor pencils, or nice Prisma Colors, or crappy random brand blue, OR the fancy top-of-the-line Blackwings. Tough choice.
