More tutorial

Project/Tutorial round 2.
More suplies for my project - the plaque, stazOn ink - jet black and timber brown, cat stamp is from Cornish Heritage Farms and photos of my 2 oldest babies.
This photo shows 4 colors on white card stock - light blue, navy, purple, and green - 2 columns of a light application and one of a heavier application. To blend you dip the tip of the blending stump into the mineral spirits and start rubbing over the color to pull it where and how much you want. When it starts to pull or stcik on the paper dip again. The mineral spirits doesn't get 'oily' very easy so just practice until you get the feel of it.
In this photo I blended the second and third columns - the heavier the color is initially the more color you can pull off. In the third column starting with the navy I pulled color up with a circle motion from the top and off the bottom in straight lines down. With the purple I then went over the bottom and pulled more color downward diagonally.
You can pull color anyway you like depending on the effect you want and you can pull as much color as you want .
These pencils are made to layer and blend - you can add layers with or without blending for different effects. You can even dry blend with a Qtip or small tools used for coloring with chalks.
All for now - I will continue tomorrow - I owe the kids a game of supper scrabble.
Take Care
