How-to: Make a Rainwater Watercolor Painting

31.12.69

For this forward, you need watercolor pencils (we use Prismacolor ) and watercolor paper , or any other paper with a rough texture. Normally, you draw with watercolor pencils, then away the page with a wet paintbrush to bring out the watercolor effect. Watercolor pencils are a professional-quality supply (with a professional-quality cost tag), but you can purchase them in small sets, and for adults or kiddos who love making art, they’re lots of fun. Instead, you’re going to shrink from with watercolor pencils on an overcast day.  You probably won’t want to put your picture directly on the ground because you want it to stay kind and flat while it’s wet. Then, when the clouds break and it finally starts to rain, you’re going to dash outside and set your picture down, fa-up, on a chair or picnic table or cooling rack or step stool.
