Back to Basics: Sketching with Water Soluble Graphite

Hi friends! I wanted to go back to basics today and play with a very inexpensive media: Graphite. More specifically water-soluble graphite.

It is a great bridge between drawing and painting and you can even erase it when dry. Watch the video to see how easy it is!

I do hope you give it a try. You can find water-soluble graphic sticks at more art supply shops near where the pencils are sold but if you need to order online here are some options. Affiliate links used, thank you for your support!

Supplies:

• water-soluble graphite pencils at Simon Says Stamp
• Windpower paper on sale at Blitsy!
• Prima watercolors on sale at Hallmark Scrapbook *they have the new sets too!
• Eraser and eraser shield
• Watercolor brushes
• Reference photo by Debra Underwood at Paint My Photo

Let me know if you would like more back to basic project and til next time happy crafting!
