The Sweet Spot

I found the sweet spot between colored pencils and watercolors today at the Dixon. Everything about this outing was sweet! The weather was perfect. I saw several friends while I was there. I sat in the sun and sketched.
I'm so glad I put colored pencils back in my every day bag. They feel really good right now. But now I'm wondering - should I try regular colored pencils as opposed to watercolor pencils? I need to try more brands to see if there's anything I like better than the ones I currently use, Derwent. If you have a favorite, let me know!

Have you seen my blog? You might like this page (It's a bit of a deep hole :-) ):

My favorite traditional colored pencil is F-C Polychromos, and my favorite watercolor pencil is Caran d'Ache Museum Aquarelle.
