Here are four of my recent glazing projects. I'm using watercolor pencils, intense and graphitint to glaze graphite and water soluble graphite drawings. It's called grisaille but that's not really acuate. The grisaille portion of the graytone image. The part where I add color is the glazing. I have YouTube videos on all of these pieces; well two are still in editing. I don't know why I left this method of painting way back in 2019. I do love it and it is beautiful. It combines my love of drawing and the ease of glazing to create a colorful image. I have my next promect in mind; I've pulled out 16 x 20 illustration board and I'll be using Derweint Inktense for this project. Oh, the first three images are Derwent Inktense glazes. The fourth is a Derwent Graphitint glaze.

Ink and Inktense painting
Okay. Once again I am shifting direction. As my hands heal I see new options. I'm still in love with graphite and as long as I can I will continue but I tried glazing with watercolor pencils again and wasn't in love with it. So I went to Derwent Inktense and Ink. Back to loving it. I just made a 1 hour 44 minute YouTube video and don't worry. You can skip ahead. During the video I share a variety of methods I use with the pencils and blocks as well as sharing my medium.
Here's the image and click on it to see the video.

How to glaze a graphite grisaille with color pencils
I've just uploaded a video on YouTube demonstrating how to color a grisaille drawing with color pencils. Well, Derwent Drawing Pencils, but the principle is the same.
I realized that many people might not know how to color over a grayscale image from one ot the very popular coloring books available so I offer this demo. Just click on the image. I hope you enjoy the video.
