Watercolor + Charcoal? You Won’t Believe This Mixed Media Hack!
What happens when you mix watercolor with other media? In this watercolor mixed media experiment, I tested Derwent Tinted Charcoal Pencils to create unique textures! 🎨✨
I used a strainer to create charcoal dust marks, blending them into the watercolor for organic textures. Plus, I explored using a palette knife for bold, expressive marks. This mixed media technique adds depth and interest to any painting. Whether you're into abstract watercolor art or looking for new watercolor texture techniques, this experiment is packed with inspiration!
