My camera lied to me!! I don't know what this world is coming to when a mechanical device can lie. But then again, scales were always lying to me. No, really. The number displayed on the scale could not possibly be correct! Hey. This is my world. Anything is possible.
But back to the camera... this morning a tiny wee thought drifted ever so softly through my mind. It just didn't seem right that the batteries in my camera were 'done'. It was just too soon. So I grabbed the camera and took a picture of a pile of laundry. (It was a test, okay.) The camera worked!?! Mumble, mumble, mumble. I quickly tossed my two small watercolor tests down and took a picture.
First, let me state that very little time was taken with either one of these paintings. I think its clear as to which one was done with the wc pencils and which was done with the traditional watercolors.
The color blue, once again, did not change when water was added. No painting effect with the blue. (could be an isolated thing. maybe.) I suppose that I could increase the contrast by putting more wc pencil on and wetting it again.
I think the 'regular' wc has more life to it and the pencils have more control. 
In the comments from the previous post Sandy asked about seeing a painting done with the watercolor pencils. I made one. Actually, I made a small painting using liquid watercolors and the same subject using the watercolor pencils for comparison. Much to my dismay, I can't take a picture of them yet. No battery power. Its so frustrating because I only used the camera four times... five at the most... and already there's not enough juice to use the camera. GGRRRRRRRRRRR (and I know I know.... I should be using rechargable batteries, but I haven't had the extra money to get everything needed yet.)
Six years ago (back when I had extra money to blow) I had purchased a universal digital camera power adapter, but none of the three different sized plugs fit my camera. Technology is not my friend. My friends must over look my defficiencies, but technology is stubborn. I must bend to its will and I don't bend easily any more.
