Master Coloured Pencil Blending: 6 Easy Techniques from a Pro!

Hands down, the best blending tutorial I have watched! I am already familiar with the techniques from other tutorials, but yours captures all the details, so if I have to recommend a single blending tutorial, this would be the one. And your drawings look amazing!

This is an outstanding tutorial on blending! It is both concise and complete. What a pleasure to listen to!

YouTube is doing a great job of recommending me awesome channels lately 😊

I have just watched this video about four times. I have already started practices the glazing. It just seems so right as a technique. From some of your other videos, I have started working on blending with a colorless blender and with markers. Just ordered more from Amazon. You are a great teacher. I look forward to watching your videos every week.

Your art is sooo beautiful!!! Can you make a video with a tutorial of such a great bird or flower, this ones you showed us quickly in this video as ,,your art“ ? 😊

Oh my I love your channel. I wish I knew about you 10 years ago. I had tons of books and pencils but got rid of them all when I couldn’t learn this medium.

Excellent lesson. I will have my class watch you youtube video also as it cover so many if their questions. Thank you…

Lovely

Absolutely love your art & videos! Thanks so much for sharing these colored pencil blending techniques!

Thank you, will use this in our homeschool, such beautiful work.

Excellent Video

Great teaching technique and explanation! As an artist myself I only use the CD blending pencil and my personal trick that I have shared for years with oms is to just put a little bit in a Caran de’ache waterbrush , the one with a fibrous tip because the oms is basically double locked and I have complete control on dabbing or blending without inhaling the fumes and I have had around 10 of them and none have ever leaked. They are the red lettered ones and pull up the solvent in a syringe like chamber in a tube controlled by a little squeeze. Then I also am able to self clean on a paper towel. Even with time they will stain but it will never stain my work. You have gorgeous work btw. It is refreshing to see a colored pencil artist like myself who isn’t stuck on being dogmatic into thinking that there are “ rules” or consider themselves as “ purists “ such as in watercolor. I do multimedia that is archival. I love layering much in the way I would do watercolor and oil painting. It is truly a more of a hand workout than even pastel drawing because I do pastel work also but love the challenge and when I can’t physically sit at my desk then I just tape down my paper or Pastelmat on a Grafix board and go at it. Folks this is a gal who knows what she is talking about and to say it kindly and bluntly she isn’t stuck on herself. Great instructor!!😊😊❤

Oh man if I could have my time over! I've been "glazing" for years but was told by a misinformed art teacher that it wasn't finished or complete until it was burnished. In spite of the fact that I much preferred to "see" the layering effect that leaving it as merely glazed (or unfinished) and therefore incomplete! She didn't even se the term "glaze" unless we were making pottery. Now I feel quite vindicated, thanks for that Jeanette.

As usual a great tutorial. Change wait to start classes!

Thanks Jeannette! You made me want to get my coloured pencils out and draw again... despite the arthritis in my hands. 🤗
