Derwent Blender Pencil, Colour Blender, Professional Quality, 2301756

Product Information

All your colours should be applied before you blend, as further layers will become stubborn as the tooth becomes saturated. Although the burnisher can help to blend a little, it does not soften hard edges as well as a blender. If you apply your colours smoothly before applying the blender, it softens the edges just as well as it does for the wax-based pencils.

We aim to get back to you as soon as possible, however some cases may require some investigation and therefore take longer. When using a solvent on dark paper, it melts a little of the pigment and this can make the area look dark until it dries. Use the Blender to blend colours together, and the Burnisher to create a rich, polished finish over layers of pigment. Textured paper grabs pigment far easier than smooth paper and you will not need to apply the colour too heavily if you are using abrasive paper too, but do ensure that you spend time building up your colours until you are ready to undertake the blending process.Derwent has been awarded PEFC Chain of Custody certification to demonstrate our commitment to a sustainable future for the world’s forests, providing assurances that Derwent procures pencil slats from sustainable, legal and traceable sources. You can see a slight difference in the before (left) and after (right) images and the pen did smooth the skin out much more than having simply blended with just wax pencils ( Caran Dache Luminance range), but it was minimal to the other trials I did found below.

They work best on absorbent papers such as watercolour ones but being alcohol based, they can cause colour bleed if used on lightweight papers. After having used the blender pen over a piece of art, when tilting the artwork and allowing the light hit the image at a certain angle, you can see where you applied every mark as it shows as a sheen over the top. Like the blender, it does not change your colours, but creates a sheen which can be seen at an angle or when a light source hits the burnished area.The 103 third parties who use cookies on this service do so for their purposes of displaying and measuring personalized ads, generating audience insights, and developing and improving products.
