Using Pencil Blend and a brush.
The Coloured Pencil was applied to watercolour paper in the normal way.
- A Blending Sponge was used to dampen a soft 1/4″ flat brush by pressing the brush to the sponge surface.
- The dampened brush was used to blend the coloured pencil. It was blended from dark to light, giving a soft transition of colour.
- Using a brush means the under-painting can be completed very quickly and the ‘tooth’ of the paper is retained.
- The area can be left to dry or further Coloured Pencil can be added to the area whilst the paper is still damp, each will give a different look.
