I use alcohol blender on inktense or other water soluble pencil all the time, It allows me to use them safely on double sided or thin paper, including Amazon paper, as long as I only activate them once. You can activate multiple times if bleeding isn't an issue. There is no warping at all. It's actually become my favorite way to color either alone or as a base for pencil...so much so I just invested in a big bottle of high percentage alcohol to attempt refilling my blenders, I'm going through so much of it. I wouldn't suggest using it over an alcohol marker base though because it will lift the color on the base leaving light/white patches. It could be interesting if planned out carefully though.. say for smoke or clouds where those white edges would be appropriate. A tip on sponging.. it's easier to do small areas if you rip off a little piece of the sponge and use a tool to grip it. Locking forceps are the best, but tweezers work. Go darker than you think, especially if sponging water soluble media on wet paper as it will dilute on contact. You can dab over it with a clean wet sponge if needed to lift color... also wet the sponge and then squeeze it in a towel first to take out 99% off the water, it will keep the sponge from soaking up color as much.
hi Kay love the video :) Thanks for sharing your updates i am going to get the townscapes book because i think its beautiful. thank you for sharing it!
FYI the King Art metallic markers aren't good either, hopefully save someone some money. I bought them because they had a white and it didn't sparkle in the slightest. I feel like we need a focused coloring supply review page somewhere like they have for cosmetics, so many products are either total fails or hidden gems we could help each other out.
Thanks for letting us know! Only the super golden markers seem mega shiny, like I would expect them to. You’re right, a place to share all this info would be great for all of us
I’ve had the same trouble with wink of Stella. They say that you need to shake them a lot, which I also tried. Didn’t really make much of a difference tho. I know metallic pigments are heavy and sink so I even tried storing them vertical. Maybe we got a bad batch. Mine are old too and for some reason I have a hard time throwing out old art supplies 😅 ❤️🇦🇺
K I really enjoy this style of teaching us your ways of tackling layers on a page. You have given us so many ideas, options to try. Thanks K
Thank you!

Oh no! Try the Spectrum Noir clear sparkle pens, some say they work better
That’s good to know about the Spectrum Noir not bleeding…I always thought it was the paper that determined that! Are they better than Ohuhu?
They bleed much less than other alcohol markers I’ve used, ofcourse the paper determines it too
@@ColouringwithK thank you! I’ve been looking at those and the Windsor and Newton…but they’re expensive here in Canada! Ohuhu is more reasonable.
💗💜💗
Which very fine tip water brush are you using? Love my water brushes but don’t have one as good as that for fine details.
@@karacrawford7393 It’s the Derwent push button waterbrush - fine tip version
