How to Blend with Colored Pencils

Posted on September 7, 2014 by coloredpencils Posted in General Information .
 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.
