Never bonded with using water with coloured pencils, even though I bought mostly watercolour pencils, I prefer them dry. Agree the neocolours are much more useful. You have tempted me to try again.<br /><br />Sometimes the waterbrushes deliver too much water and are inclined to wash pigment out - even paints. I like the convenience but take real brushes when I'm serious.Robyn Sinclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01663604160297996421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30461696.post-9313312118429245172010-03-27T16:08:45.374+00:002010-03-27T16:08:45.374+00:00Thanks Joan.
