How to get white lines and details in colored pencil - real time drawing w/ Lachri

[@beeenriquez7916]

You're by far the most talented and most INFORMATIVE artist on KZbin or Google. I'm finally getting back to art again. Thank you for teaching us your techniques

[@Michelle-oc4ty]

I am too!!! Art was my major in college, and I started working as an admin assistant and got away from doing art. Lisa has totally brought me back on board and I watch all her videos and started doing art again. She's AWESOME!!

[@herbst777]

Me too! She’s wonderful.

[@hpcmagik]

One of my favorite videos on anything fine art related!!!! Great for colored pencil artists. I wished more people would know more about this product!

[@irubin2543]

Really nice to see how you did this in real time instead of sped up. It makes all the difference in learning technique. Thank you!

[@Lachri]

:)

[@sharonevans8504]

Thank you, for being so informative in how to use the powder blender.

[@ravenfox13]

I'm very thankful that I came across your channel a few months ago. You're a great inspiration ♡♡♡

[@violetmartha916]

OH MY WORD - How did I survive without you and your amazing art advice before!!?? 💖💖💖

[@UnmaskArt]

So glad to find this video in my feed, I needed a reminder to get away from gel pens. Thanks again, now I just need it shipped to Poland...

[@bobbyjohnsavage2161]

Thank you so much for keeping your videos real. What I mean is in your videos when you paint a line that is not quite right you don't cut it out. Thus it is really helpful for us beginners to see that an accomplished artist still has things they need to correct in their work. I love the sound of both of these products and was intrigued by the touchup medium from one of your previous videos. From one of the comments the products seem unavailable in Australia but you seem to think they might be able to be order and have shipped down here. Please keep up the hard work and wonderful videos and stunning art work!

[@stoneyj1a1]

So that's how they do it....ahhh. Very pretty, the tiger looks great too, lol!

[@MsTyanaG]

you are such an inspiration to me

[@Lachri]

Thanks :D

[@jjtsmom]

This is the stuff of a colored-pencil artist's dream! Thanks, Lisa.

[@christinapedersen1838]

Hi Lisa. I really want to acquire these products, but i live in Denmark. This means the closest seller I've been able to find is Jackson's Art Supply in the UK. This would be great, except the Touch up Texture can only be shipped by road (hazardous material) which makes it very expensive to get it here. Is there an alternative to the Touch up Texture that I can use for mixing? Which can be acquired in Denmark.

[@AmbiCahira]

Love love love the real time instruction! I hope more shows up now and then! :)

[@Lachri]

Glad you liked it :D

[@jayneb2234]

Wow, thankyou for sharing and helping! maybe one day I shall be able draw like you, early days for me picking up a pencil again since childhood no youtube then lol, now I'm lucky enough to find you an amazing teacher! I'm at the laying and shading stage just having a sneeky view at the advance bit love the way a plain piece of paper comes to life, oh and just learnt about paper as well so much more to this than just picking up a pencil....Many thanks from UK

[@WildPortraitArtist]

I love your nails! And fantastic tip, really useful stuff! I don't think I can live without the titanium white and touch-up texture now!

[@Lachri]

Thanks! I can't live without it either, it's a must have for me!

[@frankdow472]

Oh wow this is exactly what I've been looking for . Been doing a lot of colored pencil drawings . Thank you !

[@andiemarron3838]

Thank you so much for sharing this. I've been struggling to get white highlights on my work after I've put the pencil down; but I could never figure out how to get around it! Now to get myself some.

[@Lachri]

:D

[@ealafabbas9745]

You are tealling us every thing clearly..l think I've learned so much

[@gwenscoggins1]

Just got mine yesterday,! Thanks for the tip!

[@DrawingWithFire]

Great video Lisa! That product definitely seems like a stress reducer...lol 😉 No more yelling at the paper out of frustration...at least on this issue. Beautiful big kitty! 😆

[@dionnakemp4291]

I always used a white gel pencil. I think I'm gonna try this technique. Thank you! :)

[@patriciacarpenter6821]

Thanks Lisa, I ordered that product and can't wait to try it.

[@truecameron6444]

i love that yu give actual solid advice. thanks.

[@Lachri]

:D

[@waynehuyboom8442]

Amazing Lisa, I so love your work ,thanks for sharing

[@joanneandrade5032]

Hi, Lisa! Do you have a recommendation for adding highlights when working with watercolor pencils?I love your videos! You not only create amazing art, you are an inspiring and effective teacher. I have learned so much just by watching your videos. When I think I am happy with the contrast in a piece, I remember how you speak of contrasts in your videos, and I increase the contrast. And because of your videos, I have experimented more with layering, blending, etc., and am so happy with the results! Thank you for your videos!

[@LyrikalMaestro]

wow. i cant find words to say on that portrait and ive tried numerous attempts with white color pencils and it takes a very long time to get half way close to what that product does. I have to get some of that because I do alot of work that uses all colors especially white being my blender or highlight gradient.

[@susannebecker3221]

Hi Lisa, thank you so much for all your tips! I'm delighted I found you today! :) I have a question. What is the best way to paint/draw fine lines over medium to dark coloured acrylics if I'm not very good getting fine lines with a brush? Maybe my brush is not suitable, what would you recommend? Alternatively, can I use a white pencil on acrylics? If so, which one would you recommend? And can I then go over it with a colour pencil to tone it down if it's too bright/make it sit in better with the bg colour? Or can use a light coloured pencil over the dark acrylics directly? In that case, should I use Faber Castell Polychromos colour pencils? Or should I use a gel pen? Is that thin?What would be the best method? Thank you so much!

[@akaikamisori350]

Can't wait to try this!

[@Lachri]

It's a game changer! You will love it!!

[@billhansen2008]

The best CP tip I've seen -

[@clowncat8464]

This is exactly what I was looking for.. I've been having fits putting in high lights.. I'm big on using the lightest color for highlights without using WHITE.. but sometimes white is the best. Just as with shading I don't use black.. I use the darkest color possible but sometimes black is also best.

[@judyptak7118]

Thank you so much. I bought this and couldn't figure out how to use it. I am really concentrating on my art right now, but am having trouble with the colored pencil. Am not giving up.

[@josephpraveen6630]

Hiiii

[@lisathaviu1154]

Thank you! That was really helpful. I am starting to do portraits in something other than water soluble colored pencils. I started back using pastels, but I am not happy with using pastels because of the powder everywhere, so colored pencils and the Brush & Pencil products seem a good solution.

[@movedon12]

Just superb thank you so much🇬🇧🙋

[@Lachri]

:D

[@johncollins4977]

Thank you Lisa. Keep it up.

[@SunDogBRU]

you just made me so happy!!

[@Lachri]

:D

[@Becca-UK]

Wow. I’m getting this stuff. Fantastic video and art as always. I learn so much from you. I think I’m going to join your Patreon 🥰🥰🥰

[@_GreenSkies_]

Any thoughts on if this would work with a dip pen/nib? The first video I saw this used in, I was floored. I'm still excited over it a couple weeks later, so I think I'm gonna have to order it...

[@Nadasna]

Thank you for posting this!

[@tashabrun2708]

can't wait for this to be available in the UK

[@Lachri]

These two items are available right now. You just need to email them on their site about international shipping :)

[@tashabrun2708]

oh yeah i forgot you can buy these separately from the kit *faceplam*

[@Lachri]

:D

[@tracyheath6076]

I almost threw away a horse portrait I have been working on for over a year.... because I messed up on the white. This saved the portrait YAY Thank you !!!!!

[@sheilabazleh7060]

Hello Lisa, thank you for your wonderful tutorials. They are truly quite helpful. Sometimes though I have a hard time hearing the names of the products or tools that you use. It would be helpful if you would provide a list of what you use in writing - such as the #2 brush that you use here! Thanks :)

[@andyrxsart564]

awsesome video lisa, just one question: you made a lot of the white, what are you going to do with the access? Do you just put a cap on the container?

[@Lachri]

+Andyrx Jiang it doesn't save well. I just make small amounts when needed for that reason =)

[@claritzairosario68]

Thank you so much!

[@meganaunchman9436]

Your work is always so stunning. I was wondering if using white gesso would have the same effect? I'm specifically intrigued about being able to lay more pencil down over the white. Thank you! ☺️

[@Lachri]

+Megan Aunchman nope, you don't want to put that over oil and wax based pencils because of the archival issues I mentioned in the video.

[@DistortFilms]

Seriously good piece. Great tips! :)

[@Lachri]

Thanks :)

[@georgepaliotto9779]

What a great idea! Thank you so much for sharing it. What was the name of the brush you're using again? Thanks!

[@ErgPlant770]

Hello such an amazing artist! I was wondering if I would be able to use this product over the top of soft pastel? Thanks

[@firapolemos3879]

I'm so glad I subscribed to you.

[@ethan001000]

This is the 4th time watching this it is so instructive,I love your video's and you are a very talented Artist teacher I find that being English I find some of your acsents difficult to understand,but with yours I have no problem., Just wish we could buy the items you are demonstrating here in UK Thank you for all of your help

[@Lachri]

If you email their website you can purchase these two items. The rest of their powder blender items will be available in the UK later this month from Jackson's Art Supplies :)

[@MagicXarko]

I have seen some of your videos. Thank you for your advices. I really like your job! (I hope my English is not too bad ;) Sorry if it is)

[@etaragon3]

Really!? No comments about your awesome fingernails? This "white line" stuff is great, and so are you, but those fingernails!!!🤗

[@saltlifegull4091]

Hey Lisa - can this product be used sparingly over acrylic paintings to make the white pop?

[@Lachri]

I don't see any reason why you wouldn't just use white acrylic paint in that case.

[@josephpraveen6630]

Awesome... Superb I'm from India...

[@Lachri]

Thank you :)

[@icegypsy99]

This stuff looks amazing!! Is there a strong odor to the touch up texture stuff? I have to watch that. Strong chemical smells can bring on migraines for me.

[@rexgrl3]

I work in charcoal and sometimes the white charcoal pencil just doesn't get the job done, would this product work with charcoal?

[@liveoakart483]

Is it okay to use these two products without the use of the advanced color pencil textured fixative spray that comes with the kit to prepare the surface? It seems like it would work but just want to make sure. Thank you for sharing your tips with us it has truly help me grow as an artist.

[@Lachri]

Yep, they work on any paper type and don't need any additional sprays :)

[@ReelAESklarzykVO]

I LOVE YOUR SHIRT too

[@Lachri]

Thanks :D

[@dvjai]

Very nice 👍👌

[@germaicanlady]

Thank you!

[@mimianneal9650]

Question: Can you use airbrush for background on sanded paper before applying colored pencils?

[@Lachri]

Yes you can 😊

[@frenchkisser66]

Lisa can you tell me, what pencils you used on the tiger and did you do a video of drawing the tiger that tells us what colours you used and on what paper. thanks. I so love your work by the way..

[@Lachri]

That video is coming this Wednesday :D I will be talking about this specific paper, working on black paper, and which pencils work best on it :D

[@frenchkisser66]

Thanks Lisa can't wait...

[@1a1nb]

Will this work with pastel pencil?

[@LyrikalMaestro]

i have to get that product it will save me so much trouble for my artworks

[@KarenmitchellANI]

looks just like shaved pencil. So whats the touch up texture made from?

[@aaronfitness1234]

What size of Fabriano Artistico Extra White hot pressed 140lb watercolor paper do you buy? I'm buying paper soon, and was wondering the size that you generally use, any help would be very appreciated, as I am buying it soon.

[@happysock6902]

if you buy the 22x30 (largest size) you can always cut it down to make multiple sheets of which ever size you wish to use. This is quite common.

[@dcho9537]

Can't get the products in my country. Do you recommend white gouache?

[@artwithrahulbhoir1764]

Can we use this for color pencils Faber castell ?

[@LePetitChatNoir79]

I have the Brush & Pencil Touch Up Texture, but when I use colored pencil over it it immediately flakes off. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong. 😫 Maybe my pencils are too waxy? (Prismacolor.)

[@MrTerrysj]

Can you use it with pastel pencil?

[@lindaoneill746]

I think Dr. Ph. Martin's Bleed Proof White works best for small areas.

[@karenbaumanis5750]

Sadly we can not get this in Australia yet, and there is nothing similar on the market. So frustrating as this product looks amazing.

[@Lachri]

These two items can be shipped internationally, you just have to contact brush and pencil. I believe you guys will have all of their products sometime in the near future though.

[@chrys9256]

Hey Lisa, I actually sent a question through your website regarding this very subject some time ago and I ordered this product after you first mentioned it in the Lyra Polycolor review video. I really can't thank you enough for bringing this to my and everyone else's attention. Coloured pencil is my favourite medium and this pretty much makes it very easy to achieve what was a pain in the ass before. It's even useful in creating various textures by drawing over it. I have another question I'd like to ask you, if I submit it to your website what are the chances of you responding? I would imagine you get far more questions than you can answer.

[@Lachri]

I just grab a question or two a week to answer, I'm not sure what the actual percentage of questions I get to are :)

[@chrys9256]

Maybe I can ask here then...My question is basically about how a professional finished coloured pencil drawing should look up close in terms of texture and shine. I've never actually seen one up close since where I live no professional artist seems to use coloured pencil. My work gets less and less grainy with practice but there's always that uneven shine all over the drawing that is more prominent with the oil based Polychromos. Do your drawings have that, if so do you just leave it at that or do you do something about it? Would you consider posting a high-res image of a detail from your work to show the texture or take a photo from an angle to show how it shines under a light?

[@ediebluntzer5185]

now since this is an oil based pencil, can you use an oil based titanium white to this or no?

[@Lachri]

Actual oil paint doesn't play very nicely with paper so it wouldn't be my first choice.

[@ediebluntzer5185]

thank you

[@lenmey1]

Cannot find brush can you tell me the brand or send link? Thank you so much.

[@MagikarpJumpu]

Are there alternatives to this? Is this a brand thing, or is this the actual name of the material?

[@johncollins4977]

Can you go back into it? Or is this end of project, punch list, kind of stuff?

[@brendamorgado562]

Lisa I hesitate to use mine because it is always gritty with tiny lumps it doesn't dissolves all the way ( clumpy ) I am always afraid to put too much of the liquid .

[@TK-gy5bb]

Great video/tip, but one problem it seems that the products are not available in germany. Do you know any other brands of fluid and powder, that are available in europe?

[@Lachri]

These two items can be shipped to Germany, you just need to contact their website for shipping. :)

[@chloebodnaruk9602]

Hi Lisa, is there another store that sells this product? I am from Canada. Brush and pencil does not ship to Canada.

[@icegypsy99]

Was wondering that myself...I have been searching here in Canada and no luck.

[@teehee581]

these products are available on the deltaarts website, which is Canadian! :)

[@elfee7981]

Can you use just white acrylic paint instead?

[@Lachri]

No, I explain why in the video.

[@knkbigelow]

You explain but I wonder how acrylic is different from the creatix that you airbrush onto the backgrounds of some of your other colored pencil work. A little confused. Isn't this essentially the same issue of mixing water based media with oil/wax media?

[@Lachri]

+Kathryn Bigelow the airbrushed work always goes first. I never airbrush over colored pencil.

[@knkbigelow]

Thanks, guess this means you can use water-based stuff first then after it dries colored pencil.

[@elfee7981]

Lachri Fine Art Oh okay, might have to watch this part again, I sometimes struggle with the language :D

[@cmumford1477]

Where can you find these two products in North America?

[@melissamanney4099]

I just finished a drawing and accidentally drew a brown mark on the white background. (My customer wants the background white) Any ideas of how to get it off? Arrrrggghhhh!!

[@herbst777]

What about a white thin-line acrylic paint pen ?

[@Rumeel12708]

what can i use for marker drawings like copics or prismas besides this product?

[@rabthecab]

Rumeel12708 You could try white gouache, which is an opaque watercolour :)

[@Brandy198917]

Someone please tell me where I can find this in Canada. Brush and Pencil do not ship here.

[@guguinha246]

Can i just take a white pencil/crayon grind it and mix with mineral spirits/oil paint thinner?

[@Lachri]

It won't work the same.

[@SharonNolfi]

What is the black surface you've painted on?

[@Lachri]

Canson mi-teintes paper

[@attheranch873]

👍

[@deepikapandey6441]

Whats the difference between this product and white acrylic colour? I am trying to understand why use this when you can use plain simple good quality acrylic colour?

[@Lachri]

Acrylic is a water based product. You should not put water based products on top of oil and wax based pencils. They won't be archival.

[@deepikapandey6441]

@@Lachri Thanks a ton for clearing my doubt :) wasn't sure if u would reply to this as I posted on an old video...u r amazing and its cause of your videos that I have started using colour pencils and I love them to bits now! You are my favorite artist ..lots of love..

[@popculturechameleon5100]

Does anyone know if Strathmore's 80lb pastel paper would work with this product or do you have to get a high grit paper from Uart for the powder blender

[@Lachri]

For powder blender itself you would need sanded or gessoed paper. If just using the touch up texture and titanium white like I did here, it works on any paper :D

[@BamBuntz]

I thought this product wasn't available in the US yet

[@Lachri]

It's always been available in the US. These two items can also be shipped internationally if you contact them through their website. The rest of their products are available now in Canada and will be in the UK and Austrailia very soon from what I understand :)

[@AllanDavisArt]

I love you :)

[@aaronfitness1234]

Could you give a link for the brush? Sorry if it's an inconvenience.

[@Lachri]

It's just one from hobby lobby :)

[@TierkunstAtelier]

what's about white ink??

[@paramjeetkaur5370]

i want brush & pencil products but I live outside USA. I tried to buy this product on the site but there isn't any option of other countries. Could u please provide the email address or tell how get these products shipped internationally?

+Paramjit Kaur I don't have it, it should be on their site, or a contract form.

[@meovbress]

how do you get all the other colors to pop out like you

[@kaylahfaye210]

So frustrating that I can't find something like this is in Australia... 🌍 Grr

[@Lachri]

If you contact brush and pencil they can give you a quote for shipping these two items. I think you guys are getting all of the brush and pencil powder blender stuff there soon too.

[@kaylahfaye210]

+Lachri Fine Art I will try that. Thank you!

[@emilysaysmeowx3]

I use a paint pen, just the generic store brand paint pen :p is that bad ?

[@brikhouse22]

it's probably oil based and not archival.

[@elfee7981]

Is this a product placement?

[@Lachri]

It's not a sponsored video if that's what you mean.

[@elfee7981]

Yeah thats what I meant :) Thanks for making videos, you helped me a lot with improving my own art skills
