You just made my day!!!! I just got back from the dollar store and I can't believe the difference in my blending!!! You are so talented!!!
I never guessed that your new tool was a spatula! LOL! It's a good tool, and that's all that matters anyway. I love to watch you coloring, no matter what you are using. You are so talented. Thanks again, Jennifer!
Try the Tombow colorless blender marker for gel pen blending. Keep a paper towel near forgiving between use just as you probably wipe the build up other tip other gel pens between use. It works great and blends beautifully!
Love it when you recommend helpful tools from the Dollar Store. That's perfect for my budget.
+RBdreamsART, I am a big believer in blissful solutions and what's more blissful than inexpensive art tools? 😉
Wow! What an amazing discovery and THANK YOU for sharing it with us, your fans. My head feels swollen with the amount of knowledge it has "soaked up" from you in all your videos. You are a wonderful asset to all of us colorists!
+Lynne Bailey, such a nice compliment, thank you! Have fun coloring!
So glad i found this video! You have one of the best art channels. Love your work Jennifer
Isn't amazing with what you can find in your house as an art tool. Thank you for sharing this !!!
An amazing process. Very beautiful Jennifer. Who would have thought you could blend like that with gel pens. Thank you!
Im in love with the Gelly Roll pens
That is unbelievable! I've had two of those spatulas for years, and never thought about using them for my art work! At least having two, I can relocate one permanently to my craft room, and not have to run to the kitchen every time I want to use it for colouring with gel pens :-)
Uniball signo is by far the best white highlighter tool I have used and gel pens are such a pleasure to work with especially highlighting over other meduims like charcoal. They just make everything pop and they barely bleed unlike regular ball point inks.
I'll use my makeup sponge and see if that works first.
The coloring is AMAZING.
I just ordered 120 gel pens from Amazon and a garden coloring book! I feel like I'm 5!
😘💖😘💖😘🤗🌻
As usual, you never cease to amaze me with your discoveries and creative techniques. Thank you so much.
+Dolores Ungerleider, you are so sweet. Thanks for your support.
I'm so glad I discovered your channel. It's so relaxing to watch.
Very nice technique! I have a bunch of these spatulas in my kitchen. Great for cooking and now for coloring! Thank you for sharing.
So I just need something made out of silicone to blend? Thanks for sharing!
OMG Jennifer!! I'm so amazed with you my lovely generous friend. If anyone could work this out, for all us gel pen lovers, then it had to be you! Thank you so much for sharing this fab tip. The results you got with your beautiful colouring of the autumn leaves mandala, was just gorgeous and more realistic than anything we could usually achieve with the beloved gel pens. Loved that finished page by the way. Lastly, I always notice your nails and today's were just stunning. Always love watching your videos Jennifer. Sending love and hugs from Liverpool UK 👍😍💗
+Andrea C, I'm glad you liked the finished coloring page as much as I do! It was so fun to watch those lovely autumn colors come together on that page. You are such a sweetheart Andrea...you always make me smile. 😁
This looks so good, I bought a heap of gel pens but had wondered how I could use them in my colouring, ( I am a beginner)
+Kristine Harkin, there are sooooo many fun ways to incorporate gel pens into coloring! I love them ❤️❤️
How fun! And so much less messy than fingers :)
I have been coloring since I was a little girl, I guess I've never stopped. When I began teaching adult education in a corrections facility, I brought coloring in as a stress buster. Surprisingly, not only did my women love it, but my men are absolutely enamored! I have some extremely talented folks, and though I can't use fancy pens and such, they love using colored pencils and creating. I am so glad I found your site- will be printing pages for my students to use....Thanks again~
+Sherry Corbett, you should check out my Gift of Bliss program for public service and non-profit organizations. Have fun sharing the colorful bliss!
Great tip! I never even thought to take the silicone ends off permanently (I had purchased a couple a while ago to use as paint brushes like Catalyst brushes on my gel press- I even cut a few designs into the silicone for different patterns). And actually, after you take the silicone off, you have 3 tools! The handle makes a great stir stick 😉
@Coloring Bliss - Jennifer this is genius! Thank you for always thinking about how you can help us. You’re the best!
Great idea, Jennifer! I was playing in a coloring book with my gel pens, yesterday, and had the same problem of the paper starting to peel and break down when I attempted to blend two colors. I had already watched this video, yet it did not become handy until I started trying to do the same thing with my pens. The word is actually "mottled". I know this from studying outdoor plants. I had a plant called "Columbine". It is a shade plant. If it receives too much sun then the leaves being to variegate, thus the mottled effect. Maybe Autumn leaves change colors because they are affected by the sun, too. Thank you for creating these videos. They inspire me to use my supplies instead of just looking at them on the shelf. You have a beautiful voice. Very soothing to my ears.
+Wendy Frances Milone thanks for the plant info...I don’t have much of a green thumb...unless I’m using green gel pens 😉💚. I’m glad you enjoyed the video.
you are really good at coloring with gel pens and i really liked the autumn picture
+Carmen Martin, I'm glad you liked it! I am filming a new gel pen coloring series today and I'm so excited about it!
Thanks. I haven't used gel pens yet and this gave me the confidence. This was a great how-to
Love your nails. This episode is eye opening Jenifer, great tips...
OMG..... what a fabulous idea!!!!! I watched this while my husband and I are out running errands. My final stop on our way home is the dollar store. Thanks so much!!!!
+Sandy Crawford, lol...I bet your hubby loved making an extra stop! Have fun coloring. 😊
Perfect!!! Great tip and lovely coloring… 😊❤
What a great technique and such a bonus that a cheap dollar store spatula works wonderfully well. Thanks so much for sharing this!
This is a handy way to spread the ink thinner. (I came across this while looking for a way to mix gel inks together.) You should try this using 2 or 3 colors to spread together.
I find that with my gelly pens, to get a good glob of wet ink down, once the ink is flowing well in the pen, if I tap in one spot, rather than scribbling it works a bit better. Sometimes, the tiniest wiggling/vibrating movement can get it flowing, too. (Then lightly tapping) That, and using the thicker nibbed gelly pens, work well too.
The thicker, the layer of ink layed down, the more intense the color will look. I haven't tried using a spatula, but i imagine that you can control this by the amount of pressure used, and how far your spreading it.
Thanks for the video!
This is a great idea. I personally prefer the more frayed look the finger creates
Thank you Jennifer for recommending a blending tool that doesn't break the bank! I'm looking forward to blending with my gelpens!
+Ana Darch, you're welcome and have fun! 😊
Oh the colors are amazing and the result is awesome!!
+Anne-Marie Levesque, I'm glad you liked this video! I haven't colored with my gel pens for ages and I'm aching to pull them all out and play!
Love the leaves.
I am learning so much for your site and now videos. Thank you so much for sharing your talents with us!
+Kat S., so happy to hear this. Thanks for your support.
Great idea for blending. I must try this out. Thanks for sharing.
always been interested in the engineering of the human hand , and im watching and learning while watching your hands with the sound down lisening to the band gong lp i am your egg , and it feels magical . thankyou , just started getting into gell pens .great medium....
Thank you. Great tip. Hmm, I wonder if the silicon modeling tools used for pastels and clay would work. The modeling tools are handy dandy right here in my place already. Maybe I’ll give it a go and get back to you.
Nice idea with the highlighters, thanks for sharing all your ideas 👍🏻 Never though of using a highlighters.
Absolutely genius!! Thank you so much for this helpful tip...been frustrated with my gel pens and now I know what to do.
Thank you for this video, ive been wondering how to blend scratchy gel pens because your right, it does ruin the project your doing, luckily I used to do baking and have a silicone spatula for cakes in my baking box, but I didnt know you could use the silicone spatulas to help with blending but now I do and thank you you just saved my gel pen project :)
I got three of these at our local Dollar Tree store. One for art, the other two for cooking. Thanks for the tip.
+John Brislenn, that's awesome! I love Dollar Store deals!
I looked at my 100 gel pen set everyday n try to figure out what to do with it.. Now i know what to do.. I love coloring n this tool n ideas r great.. Thank you so much!!
Brilliant idea 💡 thank you. I agree, more smear on my fingers than on the art is disappointing. Love your ideas. 🟠🟢🔵⚪️🟣🔴⚫️🟤🎨 🖌 👩🎨
Thank you for your very informative video. I have found that the Tombow blender works well too.
Wow, what a great idea! I even have a few silicon clay tools floating around somewhere that might actually get some use 🤣 thank you
great tip and nice nails you have!
+kleine teen thank you 😊💚
Oh my.im glad.i found ur channel.. I love my coloured pencil.colourings but gel.pends and markers are not my best choice but ur videos have shown me some.techneques I can use in my colouring on my channel... keep.them coming xx
This looks like so much fun! I will be heading to the dollar store after work tomorrow. Awesome!
Very informative. I love the way you explain things. You make it sound so easy
I use one of the white vinyl erasers in the same way.
I use a razor knife to cut a small slice off the end so it's easy to get in the little areas as well as the big ones. Works like a charm.
You just have to make sure you have smooth cuts or it won't blend your ink evenly.
+Robin Wilson, great suggestion!
wow I have a ton of gel pens and that exact spatula in my kitchen that I bought of course at my local dollar store for my vitamix. It has a whole new lease on life!
I did not think to make beautiful rendering with the gel pen thank you very much for this video
+Brictelo L, thanks for watching and have fun!
Water color paper makes it go 4 miles
b/c of the coating. Also those gelly roll "glaze" work fantastic!
Wow! You just opened my eyes in so many ways! LOVED this video! I can hardly wait to get to my dollar store and buy that silicone spatula! I love gel pens and just received a new set of them in the mail. I can hardly wait to try out this technique! Fabulous video!
+Cindy Knapper, yay! I'm so glad you enjoyed my video. I love inspiring people 😊. Have fun!
neat..just starting coloring with gel pens...great tip!
+Shannon Reynolds, have fun coloring! ❤️💜
Thanks for sharing this! I needed this tip.
You should try the silicone nail art tools for this. It's smaller than the spatula and get in tight spaces
Maybe, but who needs the expense when this tool does the job soooo well.
What a fabulous idea! I'm heading to my dollar store right away!
hi Jen I do not know how I miss this one it turn out amazing beautiful thank you so much for sharing this video have a bless day love and creative colorful hugs to you
+craftygirl purple62, glad you like it! Think how pretty this would be done with links and purples on spring blossoms! Can't wait to draw new coloring pages for spring!
Me ever purple I know that my color too
Great video. I am learning so much.
+Evelyn Abston, so glad you liked it. Thanks for watching!
Great idea! Thanks. I will try it today.
Wonderful video...thanks, as always, for sharing your creative ideas with us!
Wow very beautiful, great idea
i haven't used my gelpens for coloring b/c i dont like the look, but have always loved colored ink to write, so have tons of pens. i just got a really cheap double ended nail art tool that is silicone tipped to write on my gel plate, i will so be trying this technique out and maybe rediscover coloring with my gel pens.
+Christy Essen, I hope you do try it and love it as much as I do! Gel pens are still on of my favorites!
Thanks for tip! Also your hands are so pretty!
Silicone nail tools are also great, especially for small spaces.
This is new to me. I'm looking forward to giving it a try too.
Wow! Finally a way to end my frustration with using gel pens. And for $1.00 - I was expecting some $15.00 craft store tool. You rock!
+Rita S Lyons, thanks! I am a big believer in finding thrifty solutions. 😊💚
So cool! Great idea! Thanks for sharing!
+Debbie Baez, I'm happy you liked the idea. 😊
Debbie Baez and
First time seeing your videos,really enjoyed them. Can't wait to see more of them tomorrow.
thanks for all you do
Love gel pens for accenting my art, Thanks for sharing.
Wow, Jennifer what a great idea. I will try this out. I guess I have a silicon spac
+Marita St., I hope you like it as much as I do! Have fun.
My silicone cuticle pusher works fabulous also.
+sdm fann, awesome! Nice and small to work with too!
Have you tried this with the Glaze pens? Love what your doing. Gel pens are one of my favorite mediums and this just gives me so much more.
Great idea. Thank you. Love from Liverpool England
+TheMargaretfletche, you're welcome 💜
+TheMargaretfletcher, you're welcome 😊❤️
Nice video, you are so talented
Nice! Seems like a smooth silicone finger cot would work too.
What is a "finger cot". Please let me know.
Really great work👍👍👍
Love your art pages. This is a great tip, too. Thanks for sharing it!!
+Karen B, I'm so glad that you like my art 😊❤️ thanks for watching my video
Silicone seems to be great for spreading out our chalk pastels too...Claie did that!
Is it just me, or does the scratchy style look really cool?
Yes it's cool but maybe not to all drawings
It doesn’t look bad but it chews the paper up
Love gel pens!!! I am definitely going to try this!! Thank you for the tip.
Have fun trying it...embrace the smear!
I love this! I gotta get me a set of gel pens I did not know how awesome they are
+Otherweirdly, you will be addicted if you are anything like me! Have fun!
Many thanks for the great tips. You have given me the extra incentives to reach out and try something new!
+Margot Morpeth, this makes me smile! It is my biggest wish to inspire people to try new creative things. Have fun!!
This is a great tip! You should try Elite Gel/Glitter Pens. I got mine today and I love them. The ink flows out so good. I also bought my first Gelly Roll Pens and they came today too. I love them! They are Glossy 3D Glaze.Im going to save up so I can buy more.
+Sue Hull, I haven't tried the 3D glaze kind yet. I will write both of these down. Thanks for sharing.
I have noticed that the neon colors are worse at looking less smooth that the others. I have a really small spatula that I got from the Dollar Tree in the craft section. I’ll have to get it out and try this. This also extends the life of your gel pens. As expensive as the sets are, you really want to get as much life out of them as possible. I buy the Raeaon pens from Amazon and the largest set of 100 comes with a full set of refills.
This is crazy easy but never thought of idea! thank you for sharing!!! I wish I had known about this forever ago!!!
All my gel pens do not have the color name, or color # . but thank you for your video especially on blending it has helped me a lot
Love this idea. Your leaves look beautiful!
+Chris Semelbauer, thank you ❤️
Not sure if it has been mentioned yet. Color shapers work really well. Intended for painting and sculpting. Different size and flexibility to the tips. Some of which are tiny work great for small detailed coloring. Usually made of rubber or silicone. 🙂 This works as a great tool and cheaper alternative I guess. 👍
+Rachel Gates, great suggestion...thanks for commenting. 😊
Great idea! TFS!
+Cyndia Gilbert, glad you like the idea. It has truly changed my gel pen coloring!
I have 2001 gel pens and I don't colour in that much with them and when I sour this this helped me and I can colour good know thxs a lot
+Poppy, glad I could help!
I'm a nail tech and I decided to try some of my nail art tools for it and they work great. The best part is, they are small and there are multiple different tips for small places. They are very cheap on Ebay. I'm trying to figure out how to add a picture of them to my comment, but I can't seem to.
I was thinking a rubbery cuticle pusher would work with this technique but be more like a pen to hold in your hand it would also be more precise
Genius! Thanks for a budget friendly tip.
+Deb Bo, you're welcome!
Thank you for letting us know about the Silicone tool. I will have to go to the Dollar store today:-)
+Joyce Gandy, have fun blending and smearing!!!
I love all the beautiful ideas fantastic thank you xx
Awesome tool idea! I have one of those in my kitchen to try it! Thanks for sharing your idea:) Hugs. Judy
I bet silicone nail art shaping tools would work well for this also. I got a set for cheap on Amazon and really only use one of them for my nails!
+Michelle Turner, I bet they would give you great control...especially in small areas! Have fun experimenting and let us know how it goes. 😊
Very informative and interesting and helpful as we all have that one spatula we never use in out utensile drawer....mikelle art mom✍🎨
