Derwent Blender Pencil, Colour Blender, Professional Quality, 2301756

Product Information

This is where the white pencil can also come in useful as it allows you to create new colours by applying white over the top. Remember, you should lay colours loosely, do not be so heavy-handed that you oversaturate the paper. Using the blender pen on textured paper like this Colourfix, will saturate the nib of the pen as a lot of the pigment from the pencil can sit on the grit of the paper.

Over saturation can create 'clumping' and scratch away top layers of colour, leaving behind dust that need to be brushed from the paper. Although the burnisher can help to blend a little, it does not soften hard edges as well as a blender. For instance, Inktense, a unique water-soluble pencil that’s permanent when dry, or Lightfast the oil-based pencil that ensures vibrancy for over 100 years.Derwent Blender pens - The Derwent Blender pens are alcohol-based blenders designed for use with coloured and graphite pencils. A compact battery operated sharpener with high quality durable blades that can sharpen large (9-12mm) and small (6-8mm) pencils.

We still make our pencils in the place where graphite was discovered in England’s Lake District and we haven’t stopped pushing the boundaries of pencil making since. Some coloured pencil ranges only have a certain amount of colours and you may opt to mix and match with other brands.Whilst it blends colours on the page to create new colours, it also smoothes pencil strokes so individual lines and hard edges appear softer. Care should be taken when blending coloured pencils and Zest-it together on fine grit boards like the Ampersand Pastelbord. The difference between blended and non-blended areas are obvious and the slight grain of the paper provides space to smooth out the pigment.

Like the blender, it does not change your colours, but creates a sheen which can be seen at an angle or when a light source hits the burnished area. You can see a slight difference in the before (left) and after (right) images and the pen did smooth the skin out much more than having simply blended with just wax pencils ( Caran Dache Luminance range), but it was minimal to the other trials I did found below.Brush and pencil powder blender - The powder blender is a non-toxic, archival dry lubricant which is applied beneath any pigment and allows artists to blend colours without the use of solvents. When applying your pencil strokes, follow the natural shape of the circle which will help to create depth a 3-dimensional appearance.
