All right. One of the fun things about water colors also are water color pencils. And they are just what they say they are, they're water color pencils. You use them just like a pencil, but you can have a lot of fun with them. You can get different textures, you can do different things. I'm going to do just a little bit on this gal's blue jeans, here. And I have a blue pencil, and you can go in and you can shade, you can do...you can just add some colors. And we'll go into a little more of the technique on this a little later. But just to give you an idea, you can lay the colors down. I'll use water color pencils a lot for texturing leather, and also on denim, because it really does add a lot to get some texture going. Then just take a little bit of water on your brush, and you simply go over that water. Take the water, go over the paint like that, and you can pull colors out. You can get 'em to fade out on you. And again, if I thought maybe that color was a little too intense when I first put it on, all I need to do is come back with some water and spread that out, and if I go through that with a few different layers, what'll happen is I can layer that color up. I can get some texture. And you can do some different things like that with water color pencil.
