I havent posted much lately, havent been doing much lately. But I stumbled on this and wanted to share. These pencils are great. can sharpen like a a regular scribe but can be dipped in water and apply in tight spaces. I have been trying to make blooming weed tops. The violate and blues and reds dont show up well, my photography. But the whites and yellows show up.

Keep a paper towel handy to clean the tip if your dio is still a little loose like mine. Water colors seem to last forever on paper so why not try on polyfiber and other scale stuff? Can always clear coat it?
It may be an old trick but I just tried it and wanted to share it. Another cheap way to get some interesting effects. :wave:
Hey Lee... I didnt ruin your rock outcropping, just havent finished it yet. Needs some browns and blacks and some dirt, I'll get to it. ;)
I need to "cap" these fence posts.
