Gel Pen Coloring: Part 6 - Glycerin Blending

[@Friendly946]

I really have learned so much from every tutorial you've done. Who would have known that markers and pens and pencils could be taken to the levels you have brought them to. I love downloading you coloring pages too. You've been a blessing

[@chiribitica]

waooo... you made my love for coloring back......! thanks!

[@ColoringBliss]

+chiribitica monica lopez, this makes me soooo happy! Never lose your love for art!

[@NetteSproule85]

I love that you learn new things while you're teaching us. It makes your videos real ❤

[@dennypup1]

A real game changer for me, thanks for teaching us this technique. The first time I tried it last night saved a boo boo on my coloring page by letting me blend it out. This morning it’s looking great on my page, thanks so much!

[@smgonyoapache]

I have never heard of, or seen anyone use glycerine with gel pens. I happen to have some and this really makes blending a snap. Thank you so much for your series. I just bought my first gel pens for art in December, so this is a new medium for me and I am having a great time using them.

[@ColoringBliss]

+Susie G., yay! So glad it is working for you! I believe I am the first to try glycerin with gel pens! I love making new discoveries 😊❤️

[@judihopewell2499]

Recently i purchased a short length of clear vinyl sheeting off a big roll from the plastic store and chopped it up into various paper size 9 x 12, 17 x 11 etc. now for bleed prevention i put between pad pages and i have it under a single sheet on my worktop and get a lovely soft resistance for colouring and inking or over my guidelines or sketch behind my paper to save it getting soiled but as it is transprent i can still see my linez or outlines.

[@MMMcK5501]

Jennifer - I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your videos. I appreciate them so much. You present them so well. THANKS!!! Martha McKnight

[@doloresungerleider4984]

Another wonderful lesson.

[@rbdreamsart]

Amazing! I don't color with pens except for small areas for fear of running out but this technique looks like it could stretch the ink further.

[@craftygirlpurple626]

hi Jennifer once what a fun lesson I really enjoyed myself thank you for sharing your video have a bless day love and creative colorful hugs to you

[@CindyKnapper]

Ok now I simply MUST hurry and get to Video 7! My curiosity is piqued! Great video and great fun with glycerin. What a multipurpose tool we have in such an inexpensive bottle!

[@ColoringBliss]

+Cindy Knapper, yay, so glad I'm getting you so excited!

[@Msboochie2]

Great, another use for my Glycerin. I use it for my hair. Thanks, I had no idea I could use it for coloring.

[@karinkoen9767]

Thanks for your video's

[@sharonstegeman2379]

After watching your video, I picked up a bottle of glycerine to try this technique, ad I have to admit that I absolutely love working with this new art supply!!! Love it, love it, LOVE IT!!! ♥♥♥

[@ColoringBliss]

+Sharon Stegeman, YAY!! Love hearing this! Only thing better would be if we could hang out together and color. Have fun!

[@christymiller-read7679]

Good job Jennifer Bliss

[@karinkoen9767]

Another tip that works for glycerin and gel pens, cotton bud's. Instead of a paint brush use a cotton bud, you can mix your gels and glitter pens with it as well. It blends in better than with a paint brush.

[@BedazzlingArtWithMakayla]

Awesome video as always!...its also used in eliquids for vaping💕

[@ladonnashelly6777]

Wow! That's awesome. I never thought to use glycerin. Thanks for the tip

[@ColoringBliss]

+LaDonna Shelly, it's amazing how great it works! Art magic 💖

[@maryjolawson9014]

love it, can't wait for video 7!!!

[@MaggieValera]

You have opened a whole new artistic door for me, I can't thank you enough. I started surfing not for coloring but to learn the medium of colored pencil as my goal is art journaling and mixed media. I never thought I would find something to do with gel pens! I've shared this with several friends who I know will love this as much as I do. I love how it looks like alcohol inks but it's not curling or puckering the page. Have you tried using the glycerin with markers? I love how this looks like an illustration. I would also like to see if you'd be able to blend in white for a highlight like you would with pencil. I also wonder how glycerin or gamsol would work in a water brush. I've been an acrylic painter for years (both canvas art and crafting) but there are things that I'm seeing that I can incorporate into my painting. If you ever want to work acrylics like you are here with the gel pens, you can use personal lubricant (KY or store brand, Walmart carries a brand that is 88¢ for a 3 oz tube. It allows you to not only thin the paint if you want to do a glaze or a wash, but it also works as a slow dry medium. I can't wait to get some glycerin in my arsenal to use with the gel pens and to try it with my acrylics. Thanks so much for your videos and the instruction content.

[@annettewayne1988]

How does it dry down?

[@sropehorses]

I really found your video interesting, and to add I LOVE the color of your nail polish, what is the name of color is it? Also gel or regular polish?

[@careyclapp8357]

ooooohh I LOVE this technique! Thanks so much for teaching us this!

[@ColoringBliss]

+Carey Clapp, so happy to hear that you are loving this new idea! Thanks for watching.

[@diannadiatz1140]

My brother just sent me a set of 100 Colore gel pens that were on sale for Amazon Prime Day. I thought I would check out KZbin for instructions on using gel pens, and fixing dried out ones. Just re-watched Lindsay Weirich's video on using Glycerin. Your blending technique is terrific! Getting ready to watch video #7. Thank you for all the wonderful info and techniques. Have a good week! Best wishes, Dianna DIatz

[@daviddigital6887]

I was doing a project tonight and was thinking dang I wish this pen would smear further. I like your videos !

[@ColoringBliss]

+David T, I'm glad you found my videos for all your smearing needs! 😉

[@debbiebaker8243]

Enjoyed your video. 😊

[@carolstrachan4197]

Do you know you can get silicone brushes? They come in different sizes and are easier than using a large spatula. I know about these as I'm a crafter who also loves to colour. Try them, they're great. Available on Amazon.

[@Melinda-S]

The more videos I watch, the longer my Amazon Wishlist gets. :)

[@ColoringBliss]

lol. That happens to me when I watch certain KZbin channels too. Have fun shopping and thanks for watching

[@kelleyoneal2578]

If I wanted to color in a stamped image, what kind of ink would work well? I could always do black pigment ink and seal it with clear embossing powder?

[@lyricwritertoo]

Late tot he video but nothing that i use a few drops glycerin with vitamin E oil in water to make a hair spray . Works great if you have natural frizzy wavy or curly hair.

[@leahspeller2219]

OMG!!!I am so going to get more pens and the glycerin! I love my pens but with my fybro it can get painful. I do use water to paint with now but you have changed that now. 😁

[@ColoringBliss]

+Leah Speller, you will love this!! Glycerin is soooo easy to work with! Have fun!

[@kaylynnpeterson5045]

Which glycerin is the best for gel pens

[@joanstrzelec4302]

Amazing

[@nancivessells1909]

Love it

[@kiwipower129]

Could the glycerin be used to re-activate dried up gel pens? Almost as a lubricant for the ball in the point?

[@danajordan8774]

First off, I wanted to tell you how much I enjoy your videos. I really get some good ideas for my coloring! For the glycerine, once you lay it down and put the gel pen color down, how long does it take for the whole thing to dry? Of course I don't want all that beautiful color to smear when the coloring book pages are closed.

[@ColoringBliss]

+Dana Jordan, I use such a small amount of glycerin that it dries very fast...sometimes within moments. If I use a little too much it may take up to 10 minutes or so. Thanks for watching.

[@JMHaleSeattle]

Amazing!

[@sharonpimento3257]

I love this technique ; )

[@fredrikazablocki2311]

I'm thinking of purchasing Gelly Roll pens. Are they very good for blending? Which ones do you like?

[@norinemueller4588]

Love the video does the glycerin make it look oily or shiny

[@lyllydd]

Thank you for this. A lot of gel pen tuts I've seen say to use water as a blending medium, but it doesn't work for things like the moonlight pens, or any metallics. This may help.

[@ColoringBliss]

+J. Adams, let me know how it goes for you.

[@bbsmith1000]

thanks for doing this grate job on this

[@Lina315]

Do you think baby oil or coconut oil be used instead of glycerin?

[@anxietykraftskrisi9404]

Have you tried this ?

[@Lina315]

@@anxietykraftskrisi9404 I did try all three. The oils end up soaking into the paper and ruining what you’re doing. The glycerin doesn’t.

[@bleachedout805]

Glycerin is a humectant (moisturizing agent) so there is no need to say humectant Glycerin. It just sounds redundant and might confuse people who aren't familiar with glycerin.

[@sooart5333]

very good~!

[@daryllynn5406]

when using glycerin do i need to clean off my gel pens afterwards? what do i use to clean my paintbrushes with after glycerin?

[@josephinemcfarlane5756]

Must try my cheap pens with my glycerin

[@catrena5051]

can you use a heat gun to make it a dry faster if so would it change the look of your coloring

[@ColoringBliss]

+Catrena Belgamh, it dries very fast, so I don't think it is necessary, but give it a try and see what happens.

[@tammytoro3936]

Dear Jennifer, I know this is off topic. I really enjoyed you Live Video with you analogous picture I watched your entire process. I am a relatively new subscriber so I came across to after it aired. I was wondering under which color on the color wheel does coral fall. Since I was thinking of do the challenge for my own satisfaction, and to break in my new Aqua Blends watercolor pencils. Since your color wheel doesn't have a break down of the shades under the major colors on the wheel. I was a little curious? It is just an idea but maybe you could do a color wheel like the one I mentioned? I think you showed in the analogous theory video. Thank-you for your time.

[@lynnebailey344]

Walmart has it in the area with alcohol and peroxide...About $3 for 6 oz.

[@ColoringBliss]

+Lynne Bailey, awesome!!

[@pollyweinmann5082]

Hello sweet Rose, from my four Pierce, Mackabee, Tovah, and Leah.

[@meticule2]

Hi. I am too lazy to find out if anyone has asked you this before, if so my apologies. Does the glycerine bleed through (coloring books) paper?

[@ColoringBliss]

Glycerin is wet, so if you use a lot it will soak through. Just use a small amount and a thicker paper and you will be good to go. If in doubt, just test it on the title page of a book so you will have peace of mind.

[@rubies3130]

Is there more than one kind of Glycerin? I went to Michael's and bought Wilton Glycerin and I am not sure if I bought the wrong kind or I just don't know how to use it for blending, everytime I try, the gel does not flow, the brush becomes sticky and I just find this technique very hard. Am I suppose to blend this glycerin with something to make it more usable?

[@ColoringBliss]

You need vegetables glycerin which is probably what you got. Just guessing by your comment...it sounds like you may be using too much. Glycerin is naturally sticky and slick so a very small amount goes a long way. You can add a small amount of water to the glycerin if you would like. Experiment in a separate bowl to see if you find something that works better for you. I usually use straight glycerin. I plan to do a follow up video on this technique in the new year.

[@naturegirl2110]

Teresa Dunbar Also the folder temperature can make it thicker.

[@fredrikazablocki2311]

How do I find out which gel pens are "juicier" ?

[@Uniacoty]

Just look for sakura gelly roll. They are try best and inexpensive

[@Xessa82]

@@Uniacoty they are definitely not inexpensive. I own a ton of gel pens of all different brands and kinds (well over 500 pens) and the Gelly Rolls are by far the most expensive of all of them. You can buy packs of over 100 gel pens for the same price as a pack of 12 Gelly Rolls. I do agree though that Gelly Rolls are juicy specifically the moonlight collection. I have a set of 120 gel pens from Aen Art that are pretty juicy although the classic pens in that set aren't the juiciest however it does come with 20 classic pens which is quite a large selection compared to most sets. The classics in that set are also .38mm as well. The neons in that set are super juicy and the metallics are the perfect combo of pigment to metallic. I have a set of 48 glitter gel pens from Typecho that are also semi juicy and if you layer them the colors are pretty vivid. I have a ton of other sets but those are my favorites right now. If you like opaque gel pens like the moonlight collection from Gelly Roll then you might like my newest find. It's a set of 26 opaque gel pens from MiSiBao. They're retractable gel pens with each pen having a letter of the alphabet on them. Amazon has them listed as "MiSiBao 26 Color Letters Soft Touch Pure Gel Ink Pens". They have so many amazing opaque colors I have never seen in any gel pen set I own or have looked at. They color much like the Gelly Roll Moonlight pens. They all work absolutely perfectly, are super vivid, color so smoothly, and only one layer is needed. They're some of the best gel pens I have ever used. The only downside to them is that they do dry pretty fast and once they're dry you can't really color back over them that well if you needed to. They're perfect for coloring and writing both though.

[@Uniacoty]

@@Xessa82 Well that is true, they are quite expensive when compared to some other pens however personally I found them to be far better than cheaper brands that I have tried so it makes them worth the cost. I do like Uni ball's metallic gel pens but they cost about the same. I will check out MiSiBao, opaque pens are my favorite since I like to draw on black paper. Thank you.

I have yet to find all the printable sheets that are shown in this video and the other ones. I am a premium member and I cannot find them. I have gone onto your website, on your FB page. Nothing. The only thing I can think of is that I am not downloading the program that I'm being asked to download to my computer first, which I am not going to do. Please tell me where these sheets are.
