Hello Clark,

You can use what is called "water color pencils" that are actually used by sketch and water color artists. I like Faber-Castell, Derwent, and Prismaclor, among others.

Clark, the ones I use, which work well for me are Prismacolor brand.
I have had the same problem you describe with others.

Paul,
They have to have them, we even have them in Virginia, although they
are not in silos.
