## Questions & Answers

**Q: What paintbrush/s would work best with these pencils?**
A: For my water soluble graphite pencils I use soft craft paintbrushes. I have three of them: 0ne inch, 1/2 inch and a rigger.  I find that the soft brushes, not sable, work better than a stiff brush in washing the graphite into a shape.  What is equally  important to me is the paper.  I use watercolor paper, #140 or Bristol board, any thing that is strong enough so that the paper does not wrinkle or break through with the water. emb

**Q: How do they blend with regular graphite pencils? I’m a graphite artist looking to add some color; nothing seems to blend right with them.**
A: Regular (dry) graphite should be very compatible with graphitint as they share the same distinctive silvery-gray appearance.  I can envision using the dry graphite for strong shadows and strong lines as the dry won't dissolve with water.  Keep in mind that the graphitint may not fully answer your needs for color as the colors are very muted.  (Ex. The "red" graphitint is more like maroon.) When I want to mix color in my graphite drawing, I lightly erase my graphite so that something like colored pencil doesn't pick up particles of graphite, dirtying the color.

**Q: What is the difference between the Graphitint and water soluble muted colored pencils from this brand or any other brand?**
A: Used dry, Graphitint provides a hint of colour but adding water transforms the tint into rich, vibrant shades. It's available in 24 tints, ranging from soft greys, blues and greens to glowing russets, plums, and browns and is ideal for landscapes, animal studies, and portraits.

**Q: hello. I am looking for a good pencil for laying down an underdrawing for a watercolor painting. would you recommend these? thank you for your help.**
A: These are watercolor pencils, so the marks will bleed, but not 100%. Some of the initial lines could still be there. I think these are the most amazing colors of any pencils I've seen. Melancholy and subdued. I love them and would recommend them for everything, but just realize they will "participant" in your subsequent color washes.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not what I was expecting, I really like them!
*by S***R on July 23, 2021*

I wasn't sure about these. The reviews were so all over the place that I really wasn't sure what I was getting. I have the 24 tin of Derwent watercolor pencils which I haven't used much but when I have I've really liked them. Strangely (and maybe I wasn't using enough water) it seemed like the watercolor pencils didn't activate with water as well as these graphite ones. I used them for both of my horse pictures and used water with one but left the other dry. Very subtle I can see the different colors of black and Grey's I used on the horses eye picture. I used watercolor to frame it and got a little too crazy so that really takes away from it. The one major thing I was really surprised by was how soft these are. They're really hard to get a good sharp point on and go on so soft that it's impossible to get a thin line. I even wrote next to my messy swatch how soft I thought they were. Softer than say...crayons. Way softer. So keep that in mind. I was also surprised how much they activated and broke down with water and brush. The brown horse activated so much in it's mane that I even went back over it to add strands of hair. But since I used Morse bold lines and more lines under the face and chin and under the neck, those could have probably activated more if I had wanted them to but I left them for a bit of shading. I did use a reference from Pintrest by Tetiana Verstak. The other I didn't use a reference. Lastly, one cool thing about these which I found strange since they're so soft, the erase with a standard d to a degree that you can easily cover or fix a mistake. When you add water you only need a smalI amount and you can push the color around if it's wet enough to the point that you can erase the color completelyby pushing it out of the way. I love the more earthy colors and the kind of dirty quality to the greens, blues and the Abergine (which has a purple tint to it). Obviously I added water to the swatch I made. You can see how I pushed the Abergine to the edges with the water. These are nothing like regular graphite. That was disappointing to me until I worked with them. I really enjoy them and look forward to doing more with them along with the watercolor pencils. I may order a larger tin. But being a new artist, supplies have been sucking me dry. I hope this helps! Happy arting my friends!
