I went on a cruise a few years ago and packed my art supplies to while away the time in between activities. Got on the boat and realized I left all my blending supplies and my monochromes in the car... I ended up using paper straws from the beverage station, aloe-infused hand lotion, tissues and black eyeliner pencil to draw an awesome red/blue seahorse. I left it for our amazing cabin guy to keep. I took pics of it and I still look at it occasionally and marvel at how much you can use everyday items to draw with. I went through a phase in high school where I used mascara to crosshatch some stuff too. Wonderful video :)

Is it just me or does everyone love this artist as well?

Chap stick works really well, especially eos and you only need a bit. It's more controlled and you don't get that bleeding ring stain.

Thank you SOOO MUCH for this video! Always loved painting, drawing and sketching as an hobby to do something when you need to relax. But as painting produced more beautiful results, I shifted more towards painting. But the materials required need to be of the best quality and are a lil bit expensive. So couple of days before only I decided to use color pencils and then today I saw this amazing video of how you can make the colors look so beautiful and homogeneous by using a solvent. And that solvent could also be simple household stuff!! Really appreciate this video and I'm soon gonna try this! Love from India!

LOVED your video...Like the fact it doesn’t take you forever to explain something. And I cannot believe how beautiful you drew and painted that cat eye. Gorgeous!!

You r a tremendous artist! I was blown away watching u blend that cat eye before my very eyes! Amazing!!!!

You are so young... but you are the most talented artist I ever met. Congratulations! Thankyou for sharing

I loved erasing the pencil lines before hand, and the tap to not erase so much, then the craft knife to etch in whiskers or fine details. Your an amazing artist Kirsty! Thank you for sharing your videos!!!

I love you so hard. Love your talent and professionalism. I adore when you say "Color pencil". 💞💕💞💕💞

I love the way the baby oil makes my drawing smell 😊. Maybe not though for commissions.

Loved watching this. I'm new to working with colored pencils (haven't used them much at all since grade school some 50 years ago, LOL telling my age!) so haven't really done any blending. One thing I wondered as I watched this -- I would have liked to see a couple of control pieces -- try blending one with a dry cotton bud, and blending one with just water on the bud, just to show how much (if any) of your blending is from the bud itself or from just any liquid, as opposed to the specific item you're testing. Otherwise really well done!

I love everything about you, your Telent, your voice, your accent 😍

What an absolutely fantastic painting Kirsty, I LOVE it. X

Great video. I would never use oil of any sort to blend as it does cause issues with the paper later on (can go rancid which isn't fun), but I use isopropyl alcohol(basically the stuff used to clean computer monitors) to blend out. It works really well. Pretty much the same as acetone (nail polish).

OMG! You are so talented! Can I say I'm jealous? I would really like to draw like you. Your drawings are astonishing!

This is a huge help for me and basically what I was thinking about doing to find out what to use. I was torn between the coconut oil and the actual solvent to choose as the best. I do have a lot of these things already that I use daily that I can now use when needed. I like you think I will be using either the nail polish remover or the coconut oil more. Thanks for sharing this wonderful informational video with us.

zest-it is only a rebranded citrus solvent, try Zep, Jantex or Just Orange. Zest-It is ridiculously expensive. Just Orange is about £10 a litre, Zest-it is about £10 for 125ml, the only difference is rebranding. ...so ten times more expensive for a little bottle and a logo.

Marleigh Mae i guess in a way it is. They probably are both made from petroleum, not sure. I don’t use petroleum products on my skin. Which then makes me think of petroleum jelly as another item to blend with. I’m going to have to try it because I print with an inkjet printer onto copy paper and my ink smears if wet by water and I figure liquid mineral spirits might do the same.

Have you tried non acetone nail polish to blend colored pencils and do you notice a different between acetone nailpolish remover vs non acetone nail polish remover?

Use a product called ( in the US) “Workable Fixative” if you think you may want to go back into the art piece to make corrections, add layers etc. or you can use just “ Fixative” if you don’t need to go back into the piece and add more layers . These products are great for graphite, pastels as well as colored pencils, watercolor pencils and watercolors. As with ALL products , test before using on your art piece in case it reacts wirh your particular paper or art media. And follow the directions of spraying several thin coats not one thick coat!! I use these Spray Fixatives in my mixed media art when I’ve used a water based media and I want to add something on top that I think will smear my water based media . So far I’ve used the fixatives wirh just about every media you can think Of ( nothing oil based) and I haven’t had an issue. It’s in an spray can , and the brand name is Krylon . You can get it at Michaels and other craft stores, as well as art supplies like Dick Blick, Jerrysartarama , Cheap Joe’s etc.

Droolpuppy Try the prismacolor scholars! In US Premier 12pc set is $24.99, whereas Scholar 12pc is $13.49. I was trained with Premier and I actually prefer the Scholars. The difference is that Premier is soft core and Scholars is hard core. They’re nearly equally pigmented from my swatches. I prefer the Scholars partially because of the price and partially because they don’t break nearly as much when sharpening or in the core if they take a tumble. If you can buy from US shops, Michaels and Hobby Lobby both carry them and pretty much always have a 40% off a regular price item coupon. I used that coupon at Michaels and got the 12pc set for $8. Hope this helps!!!
