I loved that embosser so much, I bought it ;) on your link :D
Hi Michelle have a load of coloured pencil hardly used due to not applying some of these tips. Will be using them asap. They are derwent colorsoft pencils which I think are good quality.What was the name of the solvent u mentioned...how is it used? Thanks for you brilliant demos Ray
I learned about the embossing tool. Food to learn of makeup to enhance and sparkle inexpensively. I'm thinking pan pastels and watercolor for backgrounds would be beautiful.
Searching Amazon US for an embossing tool. Cool idea!
Thank you for making this video I am a total beginner this video is great
We grew up with cartridge paper here in the UK and I was trying to explain it to someone last week...it’s what it is...very versatile and useable for lots of art and crafty makes...one side has tooth and the other is smoother...I haven’t found anything you can’t practise on it yet...🥰
Thank you for your thorough teaching. Love your nails!
Thank you so much!
I would definitely like to see a video on techniques involving blending mediums with colored pencils, for sure :)
Noted!
Maybe it's called drawing paper or smooth card stock? Also for blending in colored pencils you can use the following after you have about minimum of 5-6 layers down on the paper - Vaseline, baby oil, handsanitiser w/o perfume, vodka and my favourite surgical alcohol or iso propyl alcohol (the stuff that doctors and nurses use to clean your skin before giving you a shot). There are blender pens sold by the colored pencil manufacturers as well. Also the product that is made for this is called "Odorless Mineral Spirits or OMS' and there are brands like Gamsol, Mona Lisa and Zest It pencil blend. Less is more- really if you use too much it's just going to stain the paper.. Use a harder brush like a synthetic filbert or cotton buds in circular motion with very little product on there. You can layer right on top with many layers after your blending product is bone dry. The advantage of this is that unlike a blending pencil the tooth of the paper is in tact and not flattened and you can continue to layer many more times right on top.
Super helpful for this beginner!! Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Loved this video, I am 76 and though I love water colour I should have started 50 years ago, so coloured pencil is for me, I loved the way of using pastel as well as I used to use pastel a lot. Thank you x
Good luck Julie, you are never too old to start any medium!
I tend to keep a bit of fine sandpaper in my art station for cleaning the blenders and reshaping the tip on the paper stump (tortillons). Loved the guide and looking forward to going through your videos. Subscribed and thanks for posting these useful guides.
Thanks for subscribing!
Michelle im so glad you are doing videos on colored pencils I tried to do watercolor and watched many of you videos trying to learn but I just sucked at it so i went back to colored pencil I still use watercolor for splatter and wet on wet back grounds but I hope you do more colored pencil videos because I really miss your videos you are the coolest and thanks for your videos
I love watching you and learning different techniques. Thanks for sharing
Loved this Michele, thank you so much! The Derwent color blender works well as does the one from Prismacolor, I believe they are made with the same materials as the pencils themselves, but without the pigment. I've fallen in love with watercolor pencils and hope you will do more videos using them. Thanks again!
Good to know!
Great stress reducer. I used to work in graphite only. Now I'm starting to learn colored pencils. I'm saving for the big prismacolor set. The most excited I've been in years.
Wonderful!
Excellent, Michelle. Thank you.
Very nice beginner information. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
for blending with white, if you use a cheap brand like crayolla it won't whiten like brands with more white pigment.
alternatively you can also use a pale colour like pale shades of grey, yellow, blue, etc. to deliberately shift the hue.
i find that blending with white alone doesn't fill in all the white specks, but if you flatten the paper enough with the white, you can then add one final pigment layer that fills in the remaining holes.
another trick, in primary school the teacher showed us how you can blend by rubbing a small piece of paper against your artwork. it blends well, but a drawback is that i don't have as much control when it comes to sharp edges and fine details. you could end up smudging them away.
another technique is to do your base layer with watercolour pencil and activate it with just enough water to fill in the gaps. obviously not too much water because cartridge paper will crinkle and warp. a drawback is you have to wait until it's thoroughly dry before adding more layers.
Are these tutorials for coloured pencils or an advertisement for painted nails
I
I guess rolled paper blenders were not available for young school children. I think your teacher was thoughtful showing you a DIY version. Thank you because I don't have a rolled paper thing. I would probably have tried a baby bud unsuccessfully 💖
I have a fabulous husband (3rd marriage for both of us), he is very supportive of my art & crafts, no need to hide anything. But we have enough food and shelter, no credit card debt. I have a wonderful large prismacolor set. Colored pencil is a marvelous medium, with enough layers, rich colors can be achieved. The embossing pen is superb. I must try the blender. Great tip for lifting some colored pencils. Have also spent hours doing backgrounds with several layers of tiny circles of the pencils. I also love your nails.
Thank you, hope for me yet then!
Thanks Michele. We call paper for dry media by the technique it's made for. ie sketch paper, pastel paper, mixed media paper etc. Love that embossing for leaving white and lifting with sticky paper. I do not have the patience to layer for hours so I like to blend with gamsol. Definitely advantages to being one's own mistress. 😉👍💜
Great tip!
Could not wait, watch now. Brill as usual.
Thank you, Michele!
Beautiful art
Lol I need tips on hiding my art expenses from my husband 🤣
Great tips thank-you
I also use dotting tools made for nail art for embossing. Got an inexpensive set on Amazon 👍 As well I've used a credit card, and (carefully) a craft knife
Okay, when talking to husband try "What are you talking about, I've had these for months, I told you all about it, do you mean you weren't listening?" ;-)
Okay I did not know that if you pressed too hard that you would not be able to get more color put on the page. This is definitely a great video for beginners. I am looking forward to finally using up some of the many colored pencils I have.
Glad it was helpful!
Thankyou for sharing. 💐✨✨✨✨
I'm glad you used some eyeshadow! I have a ton of makeup products, especially dry palettes of eyeshadows that I suspect will end up on paper much more often than my face. I've also got "cheapo" brushes that I'd bought for applying makeup and never used. I wonder if you might ever be interested in how to repurpose makeup products. Meanwhile - I love your sense of humor, and your sensible and compassionate teaching approach for beginners. P.S. - When I was about 14, which was "yonks" ago, I painted tiny pictures on my fingernails with acrylic paints. Nobody else did - they thought it was weird. :-D
My nail lady Sophie makes a living painting pretty pictures on fingernails, she is very talented!
Great instructional video! Thank you!
I really like to see more of it especially for beginners like me.thanks for your helpful videos,my lady artist 💎.
Your tutorial is wonderful. Thank you once again for sharing your thoughtful ideas. I like the blending tool tip and eye shadow tip for shimmer. We have dollar stores in the US that sell mica-based eye-shadows that might be very good for this technique.
One of my art teachers suggested this additional tip which might be useful for backgrounds: He recommended using colored papers, and the brand we used for class is called Mi-Teintes drawing paper. It was really fun to use a darker background with lighter colored pencils -- almost like a reverse painting. Thanks again! You are terrific.
Thank you, Mi Teintes is great for soft pastels too!
I like the embossing tool!
I liked the idea of adding pastel. I have started using my pencils and I use 99% rubbing alcohol to blend. If I have enough pencil down, I can push the pigment around until it dries. In other words, I have no idea what I am doing..lol Thank you, Michele!
If it works it works!
Thank you thank you. I love your videos. I’ve been trying to get back to artwork and you are inspiring me!
I'm so glad!
As an absolute beginner, all of these were such a revelation. I feel much more confident about trying new techniques and have subscribe to your channel and joined your Facebook page. I love your unrushed and practical delivery style and will be watching a whole lot more. Fantastic :)
That's great to hear!
I loved the eye shadow technique!
Try old eyeliner and lip liner they give a nice sheen. 💖
Inspiring !!!
For a blender, I've been known to use a stock, made from rolled paper. White and colorless pencils give a slightly different effect.
Interesting!
OMG, @14:15 that embosser is brilliant!
Great job again. Will watch tomorrow.
Hope you enjoy!
I like all of the techniques
Please do more tutorials on watercolor pencil combined with coloring pencils on coloring books!
You are so articulate and didactic! I’m sure you would produce out of this world pages!
Oh, thank you, I will think about that. I have to be careful of copyright issues, but I will investigate :-)
@@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber as long as you mentioned the author and the name of the book, there should be no problem. Take a tour of the Colortube community... a lot of crafters using pencils, watercolor pencils, but NO one like you!
@@yazosoyo thanks!
Thank you so much!!!
You're welcome!
My granddaughter is 6 and loved this very much. She said the chalk/pastel was the best.
That's lovely, tell her I said Hellooo!
Thank you this is very helpful
You're welcome!
Yay! I only work w color pencils … and I need input.
Great beginner video thanks 😎
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you so much for your video really helpful information 😮❤
You are so welcome!
Thank you for this video. 😄
You're welcome 😊
Excellent video - so inspiring. Makes me feel like I might be able to draw with coloured pencils! Thank-you.
Wonderful!
Hello from Oregon! Cartridge paper could be called mixed media paper maybe? You’re plenty friendly and delightful to watch. Sparkles are fun so sparkle away and knock yourself out✨🌟✨
Oh thank you!
I liked the pastel rech
Derwent color soft, now I want some.
Omgoddess I got sucked into watching crazy Capitol siege...I turn off tv for days but I saw a crazy ytube video and got suck in...arghhh I meant to just watch your tutorials... now I have to watch as many of your videos to just bring me back to happiness...mikelle 😷✌🎨
Better days are here now!
I feel like I can sleep better and just the sense of something sitting on my shoulder feels lighten my eye has stopped twitching...lol I just feel a sense of profound relief, so many of americans were stressed out....
Can you use the embossing pen with with water color paint, could you do a painting with embossing designs using layers of watercolor paint? I'd like to do a cat and thought I could use this as a layering technique from different colors but I'd like to try with WC paint??? Is it even doable with watercolor paint
That sticky back plastic is an amazing technique, thanks.
It really is!
This was very helpful to have these tips and tricks!
Glad it was helpful!
Just found that you can blend using blending solvents as you touched on.
I love your videos I learn so much thankyou.
So nice of you
Please can you make color pencil series for beginners
I like them bc no mess.
Can you do more on this subject please
Thanks for the video! Very helpful! And yes, I have to hide stuff as well ... 😂
Thanks for watching!
I think the grainy surface under the paper makes it pretty
, but I'm a beginner so what do I know lol
Sketch or drawing paper. Drawing paper is somewhat better quality than sketch paper, but they are close to each other. Drawing paper usually comes in different weights (300# or 400#, mostly) but sketch paper is more generic.
It's an interesting medium. But that one aspect you mention has kept my from trying it myself; it is so very time consuming! I really love the quickness, and spontaneity of WC. Also I am working on trying to get away from the "too much detail syndrome". That said , I gave my daughter a set polychromos last year, if I ask nicely she might let me give them a go...😏
You can use them on top of watercolor, they work best on hot press paper.
@@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber Good suggestion, I'll keep that in mind. I was thinking about getting some hot press paper anyway, for pen and wash.
What???? They forget whence they came...your English is perfect...thank you for sharing...
God bless you and yours
You are so kind
I have been hearing about varnishing your finished art. Could you explain why and what to use for various media please?
There's really not much need except for oils, though varnishes with UV filters can be used for acrylics. Watercolour is rarely varnished being framed under glass and most exhibitions would prefer it untouched. At the end of the day if you are interested Google some product reviews and have a play. I never varnish. Unframed watercolour can be wax coated.
Thank you for explaining "cartridge paper" I had no clue.
No worries!
Oh wow I thought you meant photocopy paper!
❤
Since watching several of your videos about colored pencils, I now have several different kinds with which to experiment.
I bought some Derwent, Windsor & Newton, and Prismacolor colored pencils. So far I’ve only used the Prismacolor ones. However, I’m about to start a larger floral picture. My question is: Should I stick to one brand for each project or can they all be “mixed” with good effect on a single picture? Are they compatible with each other in a single project ?
Although some pencils are oil based and some wax based they can often be combined. The advice as for most mediums is that if you are unsure, try them out on a scrap of paper first.
7:36 I’ll marry you! I promise not to complain about how much you spent on art supplies as long as you do the same for me when I get home from the comic shop 😂
🤣
😂😂😂😂😂😂 you are fantastic 😅
Regular writing paper 📝
The closest to cartridge paper is mixed media paper. I don't own color pencils but watercolor pencils will this technique work with both?
Watercolor pencils can be used in all these ways yes, just not always as much pigment pay off, worth experimenting though!
Coloring book = technician
Drawing = artist.
Ha ha! Thanks for the sneaking tip!
No worries!

How to blend fromwhite towards the color
Muito bom
She is speaking English
I gave up on searching for paper types by name (since I'm a beginner and get confused). When searching by weight, such as 110 pound, 90 pound, etc (110#, 90#) I started running into a little trouble too, so now I've started also looking at "gsm" before I buy something. Not sure what cartridge paper is called in the USA, but I think (from my internet searching) it's a heavy drawing or sketching paper
Yes cartridge paper is what we call good quality sketch or drawing paper.
I have a question. When I went to Amazon to see the cost and availability of the blender pencil, below it they also have "buy these together" area. They have Derwent Burnisher Pencil along with the blender. When I read the description, it's the same as the blender. Any idea what the difference is?
I got that set but I find the burnisher isn't a lot of use really.
Hi Michele! Just a question ... Watercolor paper can be used for colored pencils? In that case hot pressed or cold pressed would work better?
Yes, absolutely, hot pressed will definitely work better as you will get smoother blending.
@@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber thank you so much 😊❤️ I'm gonna try soon.
Maam can you tell me some chanels who draw disney characters you have guided colour pencils so nicely
I'm sorry, I don't know any. It is not legal to draw Disney, their characters are copyrighted.
@@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber okk maam it's fine ....love to your channel from India
So comforting to see your face
I bought watercolour pencils( Bic)
So light😢
I need better quality
It does make a difference, but the cheap ones are good for drawing into paint sometimes.
What could be the reason my color pencils do not coat one over the other? I mean I'm trying to draw a dark line over a light color and it seems to slip and don't paint anything. What should be the base for good colored pencils to work on layers? Pastel, oil based, watercolor pencils could do the same work? I'm all confused 😕😩
It can be hard to layer colored pencils, sometimes it's best to do those dark pieces as they are without layering too much. There comes a point where the paper won't accept any more pigment.
I really appreciate your effort to translate English to American!
I try Wanda, I try!
@@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber I think you are too accommodating, it's just one term, and they have the internet at their fingertips😉
They are COLOURED pencils
@@keithpev Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) would not agree.
@@lindam.6782 I know that it's coloured in the USA and I'm sure that Americans know that in the UK, as well as Canada and Australia, it is coloured as Americans are very intelligent. It's just a passion of mine to preserve the use of the English language, especially if you are a UK resident. Sorry if this comes over as pedantic.
I’m single for life and loving it.
Thank you soo much maam..can you please share some disney characters on your channel
Sorry, I can't, that breaks copyright law, I only share my own original work :-)
@@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber OK maam sure....I wanted to learn disney characters drawings but your channel is fabulous
Do you think the blending tool would be of any benefit with watercolor pencils?
I think it would likely flatten the paper, but you can try anything on a scrap of paper, nothing to lose!
I wish proper sketch paper was cheaper in SA
Can I sharpen my rolled paper stick? Tortillon
Try fine sand paper :-)
vellum?
Haven't tried it sorry!
I had to laugh about the hiding how much you spent on art supplies from your husband thing . My wife doesn't get why I spend the money i do on art supplies either .
I use polychromos.
Good brand!
больше болтаешь - больше работай ...
Would your pet judge you on how much your art supplis cost..🤭 I feel like our labodoole judged me when Ifinally recd a backed order of a small pkg 5ml paint tube, shes like hey wheres the new collar you promised me for xmas...🐩 I told her this was backed ordered from march she just gave me side eye walked away. She talks via sniffles and head turns..so judgemental..lol...mikelle 🎨😷✌
Thats funny!
I love pastels, but don't use them anymore because they're toxic to breathe in
Toxic pastels... how close are you getting to them, do you have your nose on them? Wear a face mask, there's lots around!
You could just marry a man who likes to draw. Seems like that would take care of both of those problems...
I've no idea what you mean, since this is an older video :-)
