Water Proof Markers, Pens, and Pencils Challenge

I have been working with watercolors and various methods for line work, which led me to ask the question, what markers, pens and pencils are water soluble. So I put various ones in my arsenal to the test. I was surprised at what I found.

I was looking for one that would be acceptable to use with watercolors that could be applied prior to washes of transparent watercolor. In this trial, I made swatches of each on a mixed media paper and then ran a water brush over each of them.

One thing that to point out is that even a water-soluble pen or pencil has it's uses.  Such as adding quick value to a design sketch. My go-to media is graphite, which is great for design as well as finished work and works great, but it will only get so dark. Graphite is gray, not black. Pens are a great addition to graphite and watercolors.  Hopefully, you will find one that is what you are looking for.
