Mop brushes are ideal as they can be used for details and broad strokes. Good student quality watercolors in tube or pan form will be fine. Add new colors as you require thereafter. A starter set of landscape colors will be sufficient for most basic projects. However any good quality soft pastel will do the job. My preference is soft pastels such as those made by Unison, Rembrandt by Royal Talens or Senellier. You can use pastel pencils, sticks and pan-pastels too. In this case I am using pastels extensively with watercolors. Sketches and impressions are ideal for this approach.īeautiful on its own, soft pastels also look great when combined with other media. Especially if you prefer a loose style of painting. It seemed a natural step to add vibrant pigment to watercolor by applying pastels over dry watercolor. My usual medium is oils and I do love the strong vibrancy and texture oils provide. Especially since the most beautiful effects seem to reveal themselves a while after you have stopped painting. Despite this watercolor does have a certain magic of its own. In fact watercolor is rightly called a master’s medium. Although often selected as the beginner’s medium of choice watercolor is not easy to use.
