I consider myself a more advanced colored pencil artist, and I still LOVED this video! Thanks for such a wonderful introduction to pencils, paper, and blending. I loved seeing the results side by side for different papers, different pencils, different blending techniques, and also your techniques for applying your colors. Fantastic for anyone who is starting and also helpful to anyone who already uses pencils in their art. Geat job!

The best two papers for colored pencil artwork, in my opinion, are Canson Mi-teintes, and Pastelmat. The Canson paper has a smooth and a rougher side. The smoother side has tooth enough for colored pencils and comes in many colors. The Pastelmat is intended for pastels, but is lovely for pencil, comes in about a dozen colors, and takes far less time to lay down color and is the most expensive of papers, but many colored pencil artists prefer it over all others. Hot pressed watercolor paper also works well for pencil.

Thanks! Most of my viewers are cardmakers so I’m not sure they’re ready to get super spendy-but I’ll try some of those. Hot press I’ve used often; it’s really similar to Stonehenge.

I’ve not tried the Stonehenge drawing paper with colored pencil. I generally use Stonehenge hot press watercolor paper or fabriano studio (the 25% cotton) hot press with colored pencils. I often combine my colored pencils with watercolor so I just start out with a watercolor paper. I have a hot press 100% cotton imperial sheet cut up that I didn’t like for watercolors because of it’s fluffy, plush feel that I will dig out to play with the colored pencils on. Generally use Faber-Castells or Derwent. LOVE the texture of my Derwent pencils.

Thank you for sharing this. Prismas are cheaper entry level. I don’t care for the wax based if I’m drawing something takes too long and my hands do hurt. Cold vs Hot pressed is a thing for pencils and other mediums. Your lesson takes me back to my jr high art classes yeah I’m that old lol. Some of the problems the pencils present are the same when paint pouring. Opacity, translucency viscosity all affect how the paint layers.

First, a question. If you print the hex chart on black paper with (necessarily) black ink or toner, how do you see the lines of each cell to color within? I have only ever printed mine on white, so now I'm curious. I also did the print-on-transparency for mine, since I noticed that the colored pencil semi-obliterated the writing on each cell on the paper chart. I can attest--it works fantastically! Thank you for all this information. I've been doing colored pencil coloring on card projects for quite a while, & love it. I also am curious about Gamsol leaving an oily stain. I thought Gamsol is a solvent, and works by breaking down the wax or oil binder in the pencil, at least somewhat. I can see the baby oil leaving a stain, since it is oil, but I've never had that experience with Gamsol. Maybe I'm just lucky? Anyway, just curious. Thank you again. I hope you have a fabulous day, & Happy Easter! :)

Depends on your printer; I could see the lines at an angle (the ink was slightly shiny?) and looked at a regular printed chart for numbers.

@cherylthompson94703 жыл бұрын
I get a wax bloom on my Prismacolor pencils when I use a lot of preassure to get a dark shade. The color gets a waxy shine that actually reflects light. I use a cheaper cardstock for cards, so that is probably a factor'

It’s something I’ve never seen because my technique is not one that applies pencil heavily-it’s a cloudy white surface thst needs to be buffed off. .
@adam.kiedrowski Жыл бұрын
Wax bloom occurs because of the waxy binder inherent in colored pencils. As the material in the pencils “settles” on the surface, the waxy binder slowly rises to the surface on the drawing, producing the light white haze on the surface. This usually happens with heavily layered drawings that have been drawn with waxy pencils. Some brands of colored pencils are more wax-heavy making them more prone to wax bloom. The trade-off being that waxy colored pencils layer easier and are generally more brilliant in color.
