Thread: Graphite Pencil

Hi everyone,

I posted a question yesterday and I might have posted in the wrong forum. I wondered if it were possible to use a regular # 2 Graphite (lead) pencil to lay out a pattern, and then use Acrylic's to paint over those types of lines. I remember someone telling me, a long time ago, that water based paint won't cover a regular graphite, or lead pencil. If that is true, what kind of pencil should I use to lay out the pattern so I can paint over it? As always, I'd like to thank, in advance, all the people who are always so willing to take the time to help me out. It is greatly appreciated.
