Watercolor pencils are a wonderfully versatile medium for painting or drawing people. You can color in an ink or graphite sketch you scribbled down in your sketchbook, bringing it suddenly to life. You can do a sketch with these pencils alone, wetting and blending it a little or a lot. Capture a crowd scene with a few quick dots and dashes, then blend to create the illusion of a group of people. Or you may choose a more contemplative approach, carefully building tone on tone for a truly fine art approach to portraiture.
