moving to the right making the pressure lesser and lesser as you move to the right direction in order to create the
gradient. Deep the flat brush in water and remove the excess water . Start brushing the paper from the lightest to
darkest ( right to left direction) . In watercolor pencils it is always best to start rendering form lightest to darkest
colors in that way you can always keep your lightest colors light.
Box 3: DRAGGING

technique is to drag the pigments using a wet flat brush from the left side of the box to the right .
