RE: "Shine your light" for @Ntopaz

Wonderful painting. Are your colored pencils also water solvent? If so, you can use them and then "wash" over them for watercolor effects with colored pencils. I recommend you use artboard or stretched watercolor paper, though, rather than a drawing.

Hi! Yes, my watercolor pencils can be washed away with water for a watercolor effect. But I have until only minimal set of 6 flowers. I think it's too little and yet only used them once. You are right that it is better to stretch the paper on the tablet. I plan to buy them soon. I already have a list of necessary materials for drawing and painting. But it is not possible to buy it all at once and I do it gradually. We have a lot of shops for professional artists and some consumables there are expensive, but I still strive to buy them. Thank you for taking the time to visit, @momzillanc !

To stretch the watercolor paper, you'll want to invest in a good stapler-gun, a lever-style staple remover, and wide drafting tape. I also recommend at least a 24x36-inch wooden board of at least 1/4-inch thickness (1/2-inch is better).
