Can Watercolor Pencils Be Used on Top of Watercolor Paint?”Am I able to do a watercolor wash and then use watercolor pencils on top? The reason I’m asking is because I’ve some pictures I think would look much nicer done with the pencils.” — AlisonAnswer: Yes, indeed, you can, provided the watercolor paint is completely dry. If it’s not, the watercolor pencil will spread. If the paint is dry, you can draw on top as you would on a sheet of paper without any paint on it. If you’re going to erase anything, work gently as you don’t want to erase any of the paint. Do a test first, so you know exactly what results you get with an eraser with the two mediums.
