Hi, will you be notifying us when a new project is uploaded?
Can you tell me if Canson Mi-Tientes ‘sanded paper’ would be a suitable substitute for Pastel Board? In Canada, where I am, I have easier access to the ‘sanded paper’. I have samples of both and to me, they feel very similar.
How soon will we know what surface to use for current project. Special surfaces like several of the artists use will require to be ordered and that usually take a week and half to two weeks to get it ordered, mailed and received? Will we get notification of the supplies we need several weeks before the schedule workshop? Continue reading
| There are several ways to blend with colored pencils. |
| 1. The first method- Using a color that has been applied as basecoat on that area. The first application of color in that area is the color I use to blend a line created by a separation of values. For Example: I basecoated with Cream, Shaded with Yellow Ochre first, and then with Burnt Sienna. If I have a line between the Yellow Ochre and the Burnt Sienna, I will use Cream which was the first color applied and blend that line in a zig zag motion. Colored pencils are transparent and the Cream has been mixed with the other two colors, Yellow Ochre and Burnt Sienna. Therefore, Cream is already in the mix. |
| 2. The Second Method – Using a Colorless Blender to blend your colors. |
| 3. The Third Method – Using Gamsol. |
| 4. The Fourth Method – Applying a light color used in that area all over everything that needs to be blended. |
| 5. The Fifth Method- Using a Scrubber Brush. |
| 6. The Sixth Method – Applying White. |
