Blending is one of the most important skills to master with watercolour pencils, and it’s something I use in every piece I create. In this tutorial, we’ll take a closer look at how to blend smoothly, build up layers of colour, and finish with clean, refined details.

To demonstrate the process, I’ll draw a colourful cocktail — the perfect subject for practicing smooth gradients and transitions. You’ll see how to start with lighter layers, gradually deepen the tones, and then activate the colours for a polished, vibrant effect.

This step-by-step approach makes blending simple and repeatable, so you can apply the same process to any watercolour pencil drawing.
