Which do I need???

[hollandd]

I've been thinking I need either the pure color pencils or the watercolor pencils to go with my aquapainters that I finally received. What is the difference? How do I use them?

i don't believe the pure colored pencils can be used with the aqua brush but I may be wrong...the wc pencils are wonderful!!

I don't have the pure color pencils but I believe they are used just like regular color pencils. The watercolor pencils on the other hand are different, you color a image (and it doesn't have to be perfectly colored in) then you use the blender pens to "paint" and blend in the watercolor pencils to look like watercolor painting. You can color darker or lighter depending on how deep you want the color and you can blend the colors together so there isnt a stark line. I love mine. The only negative I can think of is that there aren't 48 pencils and so you don't have exact matches for all the ink colors.

Definitely get the watercolor pencils first... especially if you already have the aqua painter. You will fall in love!
