It's interesting that you all it Jennifer's rule of blending thirds, since the technique has been around for a long time, even when I was a teen this was taught in high-school already. When was I a teen? In the 1980's 😄I'm teaching my students this for years already. Definitely don't call it Jennifer's rule of thirds, since I only came across this video just now. I was watching your Luminance vs Lightfast video where you mention it and wonder why you called it this way. Many teachers have been teaching this for decades and no one ever layed a claim on the technique. Welcome to the age of TH-cam. It's a great technique, that's for sure and works with all kinds of mediums, not just colored pencils. You can definitely get light layers without a sharp point, you just have to hold the pencil more to the back and use the side of the point. It's way more easy to get light layers that way and when a couple are down, use a sharp point to fill those white spots.
Thank you Jennifer,, our of many of the blending videos on You Tube, yours is most simple to follow and so well explained with three such good examples. So much care and pre planning too! x
Your simply the best!!! I got to order a 132 piece set for myself for Valentine's day and I cannot wait to get coloring. I will be joining your Patreon so I can print all the amazing tools and pictures you have to offer! Thank you for sharing your time and talent with us! Hugs
you probably dont give a damn but does any of you know of a way to get back into an instagram account? I stupidly forgot my password. I would appreciate any tricks you can offer me
@Edwin Jordy Thanks for your reply. I found the site through google and im in the hacking process now. I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Thanks for pointing me to this page. I will definitely give this a try. What do you say about using one color and laying it down in different gradients? Do you get the same effect? Like a dark blue, starting with lightest, more pressure or more layer to get middle color and finally more layers to get the darkest blue.
I wish your mention of the worksheet in the video had mentioned it requires premium subscription, disappointed with this point. The rest of the content is great.
I was disappointed as well. However, all the information and forms found in the subscription are available online for free. I had just started watching her videos but will subscribe elsewhere after this. All this information is found elsewhere as well and their videos don't have all the chatter and far better methods and results.
+Chemrox Janek, I have a 3 page worksheet all about Jennifer's Rule of Blending Thirds. It is on my website as a PDF download for my Premium Members...one of the many downloads for my awesome members.
This is the third video I am watching on blending, each one is different. No wonder people get confused. I guess we will have to figure it out for ourselves.

+Francine D, ooooo that sounds pretty! Give it a try! I'm experimenting with layering in greys lately...so pretty!
Just great, thank you. Blessings
thanks you Jennifer, this was very useful xD
Great vid. Do you think choosing 5 colors would still work with you rule?
Are the colours meant to actually mix together or just sit on top of each other?

What is the purpose of the blending thirds?
I have been trying various blending liquids for some time, with little satisfaction. What blending liquid do you use? Is it available in England?
Hello Jennifer and Steve
The colors are great, but... I. Love. Your. Nails!
I'm not sure to get the colored pencil
Do you have a practice template that I can download without having to make my own?
+Chemrox Janek, I have a 3 page worksheet all about Jennifer's Rule of Blending Thirds. It is on my website as a PDF download for my Premium Members...one of the many downloads for my awesome members.
Do you give her doing this now I know how to do the branding the ringt way
just a tip, try and make it so that your microphone isn't on your desk as you can hear every time you touch the desk. good teaching though.
They all are gradients
This is the third video I am watching on blending, each one is different. No wonder people get confused. I guess we will have to figure it out for ourselves.
