Lachri Fine Art ohhhh, I'm excited for that! Does the final product have the sanded paper texture showing through? I'm curious if there is texture... I'm not a fan of texture in my work which is why I use such smooth papers. I'm worried that if I buy all this stuff I won't like it because of the texture.
Wow.... what.... how? What is that powder blender stuff? I have to research this, because that looks amazing. And looks relatively easy? Like it's turning the pencil into paint.
I might try that texture fixative because I had the same issue with needing to apply more layers. I find that with using Krylon workable fixative, it takes forever to dry, the fumes are really noxious, and the chemically smell lingers on the paper for a while.
Thank you for the great link to the images! I snatched that up right away!! When using the blender--do you HAVE to use sanded paper? Can it work on hot press watercolor paper? (what I like to use). Thank you so much for your informative and inspiring videos!
This is more of a general blending question, but is there a particular way to stroke the brush when using paint thinner to help not appear so streaky and the color shifting to one end of the work? And how can I blend fine details with this?
I'm having trouble finding the exact Powder Blender on Amazon. There's only Colorless Powder Is that ok? Also if you want to use the powder for the background and use mostly colorpencil for objects, is there other papers you can use?
Fantastic thanks . I have used Canson Mi teinte sanded touch paper. I found when I used pan pastels on this paper the grains of sand ended up on my sponge . Am I doing something wrong. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Once again that was a great training video and the end result was stunning. What setting do you use to capture the stop-action video with? I’;m guessing that you use time-lapse pictures to create the work capture, but wanted to know for sure. Thanks again for sharing the drawing progress and also the tips about using the fixative in between layers. I didn’t get the name of that product, but would like to pick some of it up if I can locate it somewhere.
I had seen a video using the powder blend, it was not very clear, I had no idea why it was used, thank you very much for giving us tips on the images, on that web side, and for leaving us a link on where to buy the powder blend and the materials you used. Now the question is, you said that you start painting with the oil pencils, that you add the blender powder, and after each layer, you spray the fixing spray. Does the blender powder have to be mixed with something else?
I have a question and this is more to do with paint thinner and workable fixative. If I were to say get my first couple layers of colored pencil and then blend it with paint thinner would spray that later down with workable fixative prevent color from lifting off page when I blend again?
Has anyone noticed colored pencils fading using sandpaper and textured fixative like she is here? The next day or even hours later, colors are lighter and look grittier. Any ideas? I’m SO bewildered.
So shes using a powder blender to blend your colored pencils? And she wasnt using chalk, becuase it kind of looked like she was and kinda didnt look like it at the same time. Also she mentioned sanded paper, is that a common practice after having gesso'd a surface???
Another great tutorial. Somehow I missed this one till now. ?? Thank you for answering the question on which sanded paper but I was looking for what brand textured fixative. When I try to find a textured fixative on Amazon not one comes up. Please , help, - need answer. It looks like it would solve a real big problem. Looking forward new tutorials or finding an old gem. Thank you.
hi there enjoyed the video...i just finished my 12 days of christmas pencil sketch series, now gonna try this media..really like your technique..i am gonna try the prisma pencils, since i am a starving artist right now. lol....have u used them before?..i heard they were good for blending and affordable..also i was gonna ask also how do u get art brands to reach out to u to sample their art products?..i really need to get some updated supplies, but i know there is alot of new stuff out there...wanna start small and build...well..happy holidays..
Love the sand paper and blending powder technique. How do you transfer your detailed drawing onto the mounted sand paper? I have tried the graphite paper but it is not dark enough. I am afraid that if I press really hard I will create a groove.
Hi Lisa! I'm new to watching you. Can you tell me if Crayola are good and if they are oil or wax based and how to blend them? Thanx I love your teaching! Ruthie
Great art work. I am in awe at your talent. I'm an aspiring artist and do have a few problems with types of media but this is the strangest thing. I am having trouble with my colored pencils, I have the polychromos, Prismacolor and Derwent, and the color all but "disappears " after I lay it down. It's like the paper is sucking it in or its being evaporated. I have all of Joanna Basfords books and the paper is great. I've been coloring for over a year and this has been happening for a few months. I have to go over to do it again then blend and burnish. I'm really stumped. If you or anyone knows what the heck is going on in would really appreciate a reason . Thanks
The following items doesn't ship International: Touch of texture Textured fixactive Contained hazard warnings and they're flamable. USPS just restricts all of these.
Aww crap. Do you need the texture fixative spray if you're using the paper and powder blender? Dang. I can't get it shipped where I live. So I have everything but the fixative sprays. I have the spectrafix one? Would that work? Lol
Hello, Lachri! I bet a lot of people asked you this question already, but I'm new to your channel and haven't seen the answer yet. Can you tell your path/way of becoming an artist? Thank You!
Very nice video. I like your Videos but sometimes it's hard to understand. But that's not your fault. It's because I am from Germany, I can speak and understand the typical school English which we learn all here in Germany at school. But you have a new accent which is not easy listening. 😉 I have just also startet to do Speedpaint Videos on UA-cam an will soon upload my first one. I do this, because there are barely artists on UA-cam who speak German, so aot of German people who don't speak English good enough don't have the possibility to learn such nice thing. So I decided to make a few videos for German artists. But that's not the reason for commenting. I just want to say that I habe learned so much from your videos here and patreon an without your Videos and other artists here on UA-cam similar to you I won't be as gods as I am now in drawing. Keep going on! 👍
evert me I see your videos I just learn so much. I am trying to teach myself to draw nothing fancy just for my art journal. I am having trouble with colors. do you recommend I learn first with graphite so I don't have to worry about color for a very very beginner?
Laura Mcclure here's the deal, it's more important to learn how to use values and contrast than color. So yes, graphite is good. It might also be nice to find an informal mentor. Also, keep watching Lisa's vids.
Thank you elijah. I have never been good with seeing colors and there differances. I would just like to learn how to draw faces. For my art journal. Just for me. I am a big crafter and I have always love to draw. Now that my kids are gone I got plenty of time.
Laura Mcclure Color REALLY doesn't matter. Just paint! I'm actually a teenager, but I started painting when I was ten, and I wasn't as critical of myself as I am now. My advice is to stop being afraid to fail, and just do it! Good luck with your art, and I hope you accel!
I haven't even drawn the first line on my paper, but now I NEED the powder blender kit!!! Wonderful work!
Jo Anne Owens what is it called
Goodness!!!!!
I love the look it's so oily looking!
I need this in my life haha.
It's so fun to work with! I can't wait to try a portrait blending like this!
Lachri Fine Art ohhhh, I'm excited for that!

absolutely gorgeous! simply love your art things. It is so inspiring to me watching you paint or draw.
bravo lisa!
Thank you so much for introducing us to the powder blender, its by far my favorite way to use color pencils
Great video Lisa! 😆 It was great watching you do the cherry during the live show. See ya tonight! 😉
Great work, Lisa.
Beautiful! Thank you Lisa for your interesting video!
Love all of your stuff!
Beautiful piece! Great contrast too, it really pops :D
Wow.... what.... how? What is that powder blender stuff? I have to research this, because that looks amazing. And looks relatively easy? Like it's turning the pencil into paint.
It looks very much like chalk pastels when you used the blender for the background!
I might try that texture fixative because I had the same issue with needing to apply more layers. I find that with using Krylon workable fixative, it takes forever to dry, the fumes are really noxious, and the chemically smell lingers on the paper for a while.
I just love it ..... it looks so real ..... 😍
lovely real feel to this image, thanks
Loved it ma'am 🌹🌹🌹
Interesting technique. I have not seen this before. Thank you. Very nice!))
Thanks :D
You are very talented, i enjoy all your work👍👍

What was the brand of fixative you're using here? and where do you get the powder blender?
Beautiful work 😍 thank you for sharing 👌🏼✨
I'm having trouble finding the exact Powder Blender on Amazon.
There's only Colorless Powder
Is that ok?

AWESOME
Can you share where you purchased the larger blending sponge. Can wait to get all my supplies and sign up with you.thank you
Great video

YOUR BIRD IS SO CUTE😭😭😭😭😭

Hi Lisa! I'm new to watching you. Can you tell me if Crayola are good and if they are oil or wax based and how to blend them? Thanx I love your teaching! Ruthie
How can you powder it with brush, and then immediately become so oily and smooth?
Great art work. I am in awe at your talent. I'm an aspiring artist and do have a few problems with types of media but this is the strangest thing. I am having trouble with my colored pencils, I have the polychromos, Prismacolor and Derwent, and the color all but "disappears " after I lay it down.

If you or anyone knows what the heck is going on in would really appreciate a reason . Thanks
Lisa, I'll apologize now I missed your mention of the sanded paper grit - 400? 600?. Can you share please? Thanks
Uart 500
What kind,how much, and where did you bought the brush that u used in this fabulous piece?
You can get down!i wish I could draw.
When you use the powder blender to blend without sealing it does it get all over you hands like pastel?
Would you have used he paint thinner for blending if you had done this on a non-sanded paper?
The following items doesn't ship International:
Touch of texture
Textured fixactive
Contained hazard warnings and they're flamable. USPS just restricts all of these.
You forgot to play Warrent - cherry pie
GAH!!! I sort of hate you right now, that will probably be stuck in my head all day!
Lmao you are welcome
Lachri Fine Art SAME HERE.
Not only is she awsome but ez to look at too
Aww crap. Do you need the texture fixative spray if you're using the paper and powder blender? Dang. I can't get it shipped where I live. So I have everything but the fixative sprays. I have the spectrafix one? Would that work? Lol
I'm not sure how well the spectrafix would work. You will need to test it to see.
Hello, Lachri! I bet a lot of people asked you this question already, but I'm new to your channel and haven't seen the answer yet. Can you tell your path/way of becoming an artist? Thank You!
Silly question: How have you mounted the sanded paper?
Hi Lachri, I really enjoy your videos. How can I send in my own work for critique?
do you use the uart paper only when you use the powder blender or does it work well without
Will that fixative you mention work on soft pastels ?
have you tried Krylon or Spectrafix workable fixatives?
Neither work with these products :)

What is the brand of the spray fixative.
You work mostly from photos, it seems. Do you ever go out in the field, do you ever paint from life?
Lisa you should reconsider inhaling that fixative! Read the label. The VOC is terrible for your lungs.
i know how it feels to have a silly little bird on u while u draw
I also have a bird named chicken.
Hi!

Great video Lisa ! But, could you speak slowly please, it's very difficult for european people to understand you.
Im an artist. I can't spend 50$.
