How to Blend with Colored Pencils
Posted in General Information, Tips and Techniques

| 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. |
