    This is so beautiful. You are teaching me so much about using these pencils.

Can’t wait to try this one - I have a Chinese white drawing pencil on the way too!! Thank you Marit!

    Beautifully filmed, and easy to follow ...but could yu please explain, how and why you use the white colour pencil ?? Is it a blender ??

    • @MaritsColourfulAdventures
      @MaritsColourfulAdventures  Před rokem +1

      Thank you so much. Do you mean the Derwent Drawing pencil? If so, it’s very soft and waxy, so yes, it does blend and smoosh together the colours a bit, and then allows me to add more colour on top. You can also use it to add white highlights or individual rays of light too, as it shows up well over other pencils.

    Gorgeous! Is that the order of the pencils you used in layers etc. Would love to try it

    • @MaritsColourfulAdventures
      @MaritsColourfulAdventures  Před rokem +1

      Yes, I show you the full order I do things in the video. Depending on how heavy handed you are, you may find that you need more or less layers to get the same effect, but the colours are always the same, so you can just repeat a few of the steps until you get the a point you’re happy with. I like to use a sharp point with light layers when working with Polychromos, as it’s the best way of getting into the tooth of the paper gently.
      Hope that helps 💖

  • @1979seanfan
    @1979seanfan Před rokem +1

    I'm learning so much about layering and blending from this video! I am finding it challenging to put down color as lightly as you do. Is this a difference between the Polychromos pencils and the Prismacolor pencils which I am using or is it a matter of practice?

    • @MaritsColourfulAdventures
      @MaritsColourfulAdventures  Před rokem +2

      I’m so glad you are learning lots. With putting down colour, try holding your pencil further back to reduce the pressure you’re using, this should hopefully allow you to add lots of light layers. Yes, this is definitely the biggest difference I’ve found with Polychromos bs Prismacolor. Because Prismacolor Premiers are very soft, you end up laying down a lot more pigment even with a light hand, which can be great if you are short on time. With Polychromos thought, by adding in different colours to the layers, you can create so many amazing effects and have the colours play off each other.

    For the colour dark indigo can I use kind of deep purple ?

    • @MaritsColourfulAdventures
      @MaritsColourfulAdventures  Před 16 dny +2

      You could. I sometimes use the mauve or something like the Delft Blue in some of my layers. If you want it really dark, you could also use the darkest blue you have, and add a tiny bit of black in one of the layers to darken it up more.
