Introduction

Water-soluble (or aquarelle) pencils and pastels, when used with inventive and imaginative techniques, can produce a wide range of exciting textures, patterns and effects. They really do deserve to be treated as a medium in their own right, rather than just as a substitute for other materials.

The technology involved in the manufacture of water-based media is so highly advanced that permanence is now virtually guaranteed, and more and more rich, varied colors, rivaling those of paints, are now available at quite competitive prices.

Using these marvelous modern media means an exciting future: remember that there is no such thing as retirement for us artists! With all these possibilities, there is no excuse for doing dull work and may you have many hours of enjoyment and success.
