Wow! This is such an informative and helpful video. Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge. I learned so much about a medium that I have used for years and never utilized to it's full potential...or mine either, probably.

Thanks for putting this all in one place. This is a keeper.
Brilliant timing! I’ve been intending to start your pencil classes.
perfect timing! I've been researching pencils!
Very enjoyable sandy thank you. Someday I plan on taking all your classes, once the kids head off to college.
Thank you. I really appreciate the lessons you impart to us, and I could watch you colour and paint all day. The bird was amazing, you really are a talent!!
Thanks for the tutorial. Always loved colored pencils. Pressure is SO important! Great stuff!
Great explanation, will have to fit in some time together back to the classes, so informative ❤️
Thank you Sandy for this great tutorial on colored pencils. I love to make cards and this information was very helpful to me. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful art talents with your viewers. I really learn so much watching your tutorials.

Dear sandy Thank you. I learnt a lot
Thanks, great information!
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!

Great tutorial! :) I have the Prismacolor pencils and I love the colors they have too! :) I find that I love them when they behave as I want them to and don't like them at all when they don't work as I want! :)
The newer luminance pencils have white print on The barrel, which is much easier to read.

I did not know about the production of prismacolors!
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.
Very helpful. TFS
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.

Nice soft papers work wonders with pencil 😍
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.
Beautiful and informative as always!I have invested in your hexcharts but still figuring out how to work with them. Do you explain that in your jumpstart class or do you have video about that? I would love to know.

@@SandyAllnock1 found it.. but it all for copics.. i will watch them any way because I know I will learn something.. is the principle of coloured pencil charts the same as the copics? Or is there a difference?
Great summary of pencils. Thank you. Wondering if you will be trying out Holbein Artist Colored Pencils?

No I’m out of budget...
Will color pencil art always have a graining smooth look to the art piece? I can't seem to get a non grainy appearance.
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.

So helpful! But what exactly is a wax bloom that you said can happen?

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'

What does "bloom" mean, please?

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

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.
You can't read the polychromos? damn...
