#ColoredPencil #Tutorial #UnmaskArt - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Great job with explanations and examples. Very helpful.
Thanks so much for this. I'm stuck in bed with covid over here in the UK and rediscovering my love of art. I've found an unused pack of colouring pencils, I've got a bottle of zest it from my oil painting days, and I can't wait to get started! Thank you so much. Really clear and generous teaching.
Hope you feel better soon. Thank you.
Thank you much for this Colored Pencil Tutorial. Being a beginner your helpful tips are very informative and encouraging.
Awesome video ....simply honest with your experience with pastels... . So much information with things most don ‘t talk about.
Thank you so much, since I am not sure what brand or what kind of solvent that I can use for my colour pencil drawing, but your video can answer all of my questions, thanks, love it
Really enjoyed watching this video Will. So well executed, and your approach and attention to detail in the video editing is superb and a pleasant viewing experience.
very good tutorial. thanks for breaking down all these information and useful explanations!!!
Thank you for your video. Your explanations are clear and easy to understand. It's a big help seeing the what not to do examples as well as the correct ways. This has given me some confidence to experiment and improve!
As always clear presentation and helpful step by step instruction!
Another approach which I've started to try to avoid chemical solvents is to use water-soluble pencils and just blend with water. Only thing is you need thick paper if you want to use a lot of water, or otherwise on thinner paper you can spend extra preparation time and use an almost dry brush.
This is very helpful thank you
Very informative, love your delivery, calm and unhurried unlike some with the Hey guys what's up nonsense.
Great tips!!
Thank you for this video, I'm diving into your channel from today on :) I'm really new to art and especially coloring and I'm still trying to figure out what I like the most (tool wise) and colored pencils have so much to offer and thanks to videos like yours it's helping me understand the potential of colored pencils.
Great video for beginners! Your sense of humor always makes me giggle. Love the hair!

Amazing
Thank you...💖
I did try solvent on black watercolour paper and with both caran d ache and polychromos. My first mistake was to put too much solvent on my brush and it did stain the paper and even went through it. The other test was on white watercolour paper with red coloured pencil and I didn't dip my brush in the solvent to see if it would stain the paper again and I did clean my brush on a bit of toilet paper. Most solvents are made for oil paint so I got a windsor and newton solvent with low odor. It does smell but you really must have your nose really close to smell the scent of it. I can't wait to try and make my own coloured pencil drawing with it.
Hi Kirsty, I'm finding your pencil art tutorials fascinating. I generally use watercolour pencils but am definitely going to try others. My question is: can I blend with solvent on regular paper or does it have to be watercolour or multi media?
You should try baby oil...
Thank you i will be learning from you for colored pencils
I'm on a navy ship is thier a work surface that i can get
Why did you cutthat beautiful hair
I heard about the baby oil. My thoughts were, it wouldn't make your drawing archival? I have the Zest it. Thank you Will the information is very useful. 😊
Thank you so much for your awesome videos mate! Any other options on solvents? or something else to use on coloured pencils rather than a solvent to blend? In my country I can't get this one and also I am a bit skeptical about if solvents are safe for our own health, considering that we breath that stuff. Just wandering. Greetings from Chile :)
@Paula Barrientos, I am sorry that I didn’t see your comment until now. Do you having rubbing alcohol in Chili? I haven’t used it a lot, but have a little bit (With the soft core Prismas, haven’t really tried it in a serious way with other pencils) and it works. Not sure if it works to the same level as regular solvent or even if you can keep using it after the first time. It does leave a nice “painted” look, the little bit that I did use it. So, if you have it in your country, that could be an option that is at least healthier. The only other thing is, I don’t know whether it would be considered archival, but if you aren’t selling your work, that may not be an issue.
Hey William, could alcohol also be used as a blending medium or does that fall in the same realm as baby oil? Thank you for your videos, I've learned a lot from you. You are a truely gifted teacher!
Alcohol is a safe solvent to use. Personally I have never tried it but It does work. And without the consequences of baby oil.
I printed a picture on regular printer paper and colored it. Would this work for smoothing the background?
Great video. Do these solvents work with wax based colored pencils like prismacolor or does it only work on oil colored pencils?
It works with all colored pencils.
Does the softness of the brush's hair/bristles matter? I doubt I'd use a Silver Black Velvet watercolor brush with it, but would, say, the stiff bristles of an oil paintbrush differ from the soft hair of a watercolor brush? It just seems like solvent might weaken the paper and leave it vulnerable to scratching/damaging or even smudging the effect.
Yes, I recommend a soft bristle brush, either a round or filbert. It kind of turns the colored pencil into paint. So brush strokes can be visible.
New hair cut 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Can you give your recommendation for your favorite paper for color pencils ?
My favorite is no longer made, but 250gsm vellum is my go to, also I really like Clairefontaine multimedia neutral.
I have heard of solvents from local brands including keywords terpentine and linseed.. What are this? Are they safe to use. Zest.it and Mona lisa are not available where I live. And gamsol is too expensive.
I am so confused on which paper to use. Did you say that it would be better to use Watercolor paper in order to use solvents? Or do Mixed Media work as well?
I didn't say either of that. Paper is a personal choice, it has a small effect on how solvents are used. Find the paper you like most, that is always my advice.
Hi 🙋♀️ Well actually, with the Baby Oil, it actually mentions it in the *pamplet* that comes with Faber-Castell Polychromos! I'm like... what?! Cos yeah, I've heard about the yellowing effect that baby oil has and have seen it stain fabrics over the years with this yucky yellow tinge as well. So I was very surprised to see that in the Polychromos pamphlet, and maybe that's one of the places that people are getting it! (???)

Can we replace Zest it with others, like: Baby Oil or Vegetable Oil...? Because, in Indonesia, it's very rare to find Zest it..
no, but you should be able to find another odorless solvent at any art store that sell oil paint supplies.
Yo xD BABY OIL? COME ON NOW LOL THATS RIDICULOUS!
Oh! Also, if solvents CAN give you some tooth, would you for instance prep an entire page of the drawing with OMS before you even begin to start colouring, if you've bought an inexpensive colouring book that has really thin, poor quality, little tooth etc to make it a much better surface in that entire cheap colouring book to something you can colour a lot better?
Oh! And for fixatives as well. If you find yourself with a colouring book with unexpectedly dreadful paper, can prepping/spraying fixative across the entire pages of the book before you even start give you a far better surface/paper on which to colour? Ps Hi 👋 from Australia 🇦🇺
No solvents won't "fix" bad paper by letting them take color better. I'd say it's probably more likely to have the opposite effect.
Now using a textured fixative might be a good idea to test in some poor quality coloring books. Might help them take color. But honestly, i think the best option is to trace the coloring pages to good paper.
Unmask Art Oh wow! I'd never thought of that! Actually tracing a drawing onto better paper. I normally do a photocopy first before I start doing any colouring, but tracing an actual drawing would allow me to trace it onto the page of a visual arts journal etc. And tracing something would I think give me more knowledge in general re illustrations. Thank you for that suggestion - it's not something I would have thought of 🙏
What Brush Did You Use on your Rose Color Pencil Drawing?

I've heard some people say that when you use a solvent that it gives you back the tooth, usually mentioned in the context of regaining the ability to apply another layer - even on a burnished area.
Have you found that to be the case? #ToothRestoration #UsesForOMSWith ColouredPencilsSlashPastels
I can't say it does in general because a lot of it depends on the paper you are using. In some cases it will smooth (taking tooth) and in others it may give you some more space to color on. Too much variability I think to make such a definitive claim.
Unmask Art I'm only a beginner and I saw someone say that in another tutorial, so I just wanted to ask you about that, as yet I have insufficient knowledge to know either way. Thanks for taking the time to reply 🙏
I was always suspicious of baby oil because it has to dry before you put your work away, and I don't know if baby oil ever dries. But I didn't know how to choose a solvent. Just grab one from the shelf, I guess. That helps.
Are your live videos subtitled for accessiblty ??? I’m deaf thanks
Thank goodness you cut your hair...it looks SO much better!! Great video, thank you
Yes maybe I can actually color stuff well-
I heard u can use baby oil...
😉🤷🏻♂️
High school teacher teach the kids to use baby oil. I don’t think it works at all. It just makes a mess out of my paper.
You are soooo cute it’s distracting 🤤
Hahaha stop using baby oil
