👍 if this is useful
omg thx so much!
Here have some Avocados 🥑🥑🥑🥑
Thank you so much 😊😊
Ty
Thank you so much! :)
This guy deserves more likes
As someone who can’t afford to get proper solvent, the fact that I now know I can use nail polish remover makes me so happy! It’s something I have already.
Woohoo!!
Katie_pol ikr?! This makes everything so much easier
Hi .
did acetone also work well ?
Any butter/oil will work, maybe any solvent and alcohol
I love how professional your channel is
Awwww thanks that means a lot, I have been trying really hard to make my content better 💕
Yeah I like how helpful and just good Quality your channel is
if i ask my parents for that they’re gonna think im crazy xD
Same. Dear! I'm a big fan of mam! I'm a small artist pray for me all 🖤😍 love From Bangladesh 🇧🇩
Yeah it is very professional
To save you all some time...
The best ones:
1. Nail Polish Remover. (Works well for layers and blending)
2. Hand gel/sanitizer (Works well for layers and blending too)
3. Coconut Oil. (Works not well for layers, but well for blending)
sunflower a e s t h e t i c s gel for hair + robbing alcohol = hand sanitizer
Thank yoouuuuu
I HAVE ALL of these on-hand!!
ty
Wait I have all those 😜🤔🤍
This was very interesting and helpful!I can easily get light headed if I smell strong fumes so I knew that I couldn't buy solvents...But now I know I have so many other options!💕
Non-professional substances can corrupt your drawings after some period of time
You were the first artist on youtube I came across a few months ago. You are the reason why I draw today. Thank you so much. I love how you're always trying your best💕
I just had canola oil, i realized that works so very well for blending the soft pastels, and most important , doesn't leaves any stain at all.
Elizabeth C. You literally just solved 2 of my most struggles with soft pastels that I’ve been trying to find a solution for for decades 😂 thanks boo! 😂
You young lady are a born teacher. They are the most important people in the world. Thanx
I've used rubbing alcohol, and it was like night and day when I discovered that worked on colored pencils.
Rubbing Alcohol Is Better When Using Alcohol Inks Or Markers 91% Or Higher I Hope This Helps
I went on a cruise a few years ago and packed my art supplies to while away the time in between activities. Got on the boat and realized I left all my blending supplies and my monochromes in the car... I ended up using paper straws from the beverage station, aloe-infused hand lotion, tissues and black eyeliner pencil to draw an awesome red/blue seahorse. I left it for our amazing cabin guy to keep. I took pics of it and I still look at it occasionally and marvel at how much you can use everyday items to draw with. I went through a phase in high school where I used mascara to crosshatch some stuff too. Wonderful video :)
For the prismacolor pencils, zippo lighter fluid is one of the better blenders (no smoking :) ) I picked up that trick from an old professor.
I was just going to say that! And not just for prismacolor pencils, it will blend any artist quality pencils and I cannot tell a difference between it and odourless mineral spirits, other than the price. I found out by chance.
Thats doesn’t seem smart
Great demonstration for learning what works in blending materials. I watched another video where the artist used odorless mineral spirits (OMS) as their blending medium for colored pencils! Thanks.
Amazed by all of them! Fiancé is handsome! Congratulations on the upcoming wedding!
Thank you for this helpful test! I had heard of some of these, but I hadn't gone out and purchased so many. Thank you for doing this. Very helpful
Chap stick works really well, especially eos and you only need a bit. It's more controlled and you don't get that bleeding ring stain.
I’ve been stuck in quarantine for 3 weeks and my art teacher is asking us to do projects. Since my teacher can’t help me I turn to you. I recently ran out of my white color in which in use to blend so thank you!!!
In the store's nail polish remover area you'll find 100% acetone and, for me, it works best as it contains none of the other wonky ingredients regular polish removers might contain plus a bonus is that it costs less. ;-)
Yes! That's what I use too!
I'm using Cutex strengthening nail polish remover. I get quite high on the smell, which I'm guessing is not good.....but I just love that smell :)
I came here for this! Thanks for answering my question!
“The next item is Hand sanitizer”
oh now i know why everybody’s hogging the sanitizer
This vid was a year ago
This is so funny why doesn’t this have 1k likes
GuessWho they were thinking ahead of time
also btw, using emojis? cringe af
also can anyone here take a joke?
But if you’re coloring on your break at work, that may be the only solvent you can get your hands on.
Great video. I would never use oil of any sort to blend as it does cause issues with the paper later on (can go rancid which isn't fun), but I use isopropyl alcohol(basically the stuff used to clean computer monitors) to blend out. It works really well. Pretty much the same as acetone (nail polish).
I love your videos. They are so high quality. I am surprised you did not say a marker blender. Yes, I know it is simply alcohol -- but, in a marker casing. It is so easy to grab and use. It works well.
Thank you SOOO MUCH for this video! Always loved painting, drawing and sketching as an hobby to do something when you need to relax. But as painting produced more beautiful results, I shifted more towards painting. But the materials required need to be of the best quality and are a lil bit expensive. So couple of days before only I decided to use color pencils and then today I saw this amazing video of how you can make the colors look so beautiful and homogeneous by using a solvent. And that solvent could also be simple household stuff!! Really appreciate this video and I'm soon gonna try this!
Love from India!
Loved watching this. I'm new to working with colored pencils (haven't used them much at all since grade school some 50 years ago, LOL telling my age!) so haven't really done any blending. One thing I wondered as I watched this -- I would have liked to see a couple of control pieces -- try blending one with a dry cotton bud, and blending one with just water on the bud, just to show how much (if any) of your blending is from the bud itself or from just any liquid, as opposed to the specific item you're testing. Otherwise really well done!
That was a awesome way to find new blend for color pencil
Thank you 🙏🏻
Hi Kirsty! I form Poland and learning more from your Chanel than from Polish proposals. Thank you so much. :)
You are so young... but you are the most talented artist I ever met. Congratulations! Thankyou for sharing
I love the way the baby oil makes my drawing smell 😊.
Maybe not though for commissions.
Just recently found this channel. A lot of good work so far. You are very consistent. Keep it up!
therockhova21 thank you so much 💕
@@KirstyPartridgeArt np you actually show various ways to do things and explain practices very well. You are one the best art teachers of UA-cam by a large margin.
@@KirstyPartridgeArt what's about glycerin
You r a tremendous artist! I was blown away watching u blend that cat eye before my very eyes! Amazing!!!!
I have just a month ago found your account and now i have become way better at art THANKYOU!😊
It was great seeing your fiancé in the video give a truthful judgment to provide an honest input. Should have him in more videos. I know I have seen him in Vlog channel but art channel would be nice to see pop up occasionally too.
I love everything about you, your Telent, your voice, your accent 😍
OMG! You are so talented! Can I say I'm jealous? I would really like to draw like you. Your drawings are astonishing!
the way to get better is to practice!
Your drawing is next level. If I drew an eye like that, I'd frame it in diamonds and never let anyone touch it. You're really good at this.
I love you so hard. Love your talent and professionalism. I adore when you say "Color pencil". 💞💕💞💕💞
I loved erasing the pencil lines before hand, and the tap to not erase so much, then the craft knife to etch in whiskers or fine details. Your an amazing artist Kirsty! Thank you for sharing your videos!!!
If I could only draw like you... you are gifted!
This is so cool. Thank you😀 for doing it. It’s great to know nail polish remover or sanitizer can be used to blend the colours. Save buying other solvents. You are such an amazing artist.
You can also use "vicks" for blending it blends very well.
ok ty
I have always used baby oil on a Qtip. Just a tiny amount and it works with watercolour paint to.
I used to use baby oil with a q tip but now I use gamesol, which is an odourless mineral spirit, which is the best option in my opinion.
How do you find it works as far as smell? Is it strong? I ask because I've been scared to get it; I have upper respiratory problems and I'm really sensitive to strong smells. Thanks!
@@rebekah1362 I use Gamsol too but I bought an empty Copic marker to add it to and it works really well. I eventually bought the finer point nibs for it so it was easier to get into small areas. As for the smell....I, too am sensitive to smells and get migraines easily but the Gamsol doesn't bother me at all! I hope you try it if you haven't yet and that it works well for you :)
@@Jenna_Bug Thanks so much Jenifer that's very encouraging to know. I appreciate your help. I will definitely try it!
LOVED your video...Like the fact it doesn’t take you forever to explain something. And I cannot believe how beautiful you drew and painted that cat eye. Gorgeous!!
I will try out this.. someday when i m not lazy😁
Suhani Vishwakarma story of my life...
Nancy Aguiar same here
so usefull...i have everything in the house except for the hair gel and actual zest it alcohol...love this channel💜💜
You know I love grainy pictures! It just satisfy’s me so much so maybe if you plan on selling some of your work try doing a grainy kind of one!
Great video. I like seeing you experimenting for me. Saves me the time and expense of trying various products.
Prismacolor makes clear blending pencils and clear blending markers. With the markers, it’s best to buy several and label each with a color, because the nub absorbs color and can transfer it to the next color. I was a public school art teacher, now retired. We used a zillion colored pencils each year. I labeled blending markers with all of the basic colors so each table had a set. In school, I would probably not use nail polish remover because of the fumes, but there is nail polish remover that is acetone-free, so I might try that on my own work to see if it works.
Another alternative to the clear blending markers is to buy very light shades of Prismacolor markers, then you have a blue one to use on blue colored pencils, green on green, etc. However, nail polish remover would be much less expensive.
I also use watercolor colored pencils. I use one of those brushes with a well of water to lightly go over the color to blend it. Once dry, I often add details with fine-line permanent markers, technical pen, or regular colored pencils.
Do you think that rubbing alcohol would blend coloured pencils?
Yes it would 😊
kc galaxia did u have any trouble with layering or did it smudge anything?
Oh im glad to hear alcohol works, im going to try it soon. I cant stand the way nail polish remover smells...
I see a lot of people use colorless blenders (alcohol marker) wich basicly is just alcohol in a marker so I’m sure alcohol must work. I gonna try it today, i have 90% alcohol at Home. Also gonna try polish remover, this video was so helpfull. I use a blender pencil or nothing do I’m curious to see the results in real life.
Probably, idk
Thank you for this great tutorial! Honestly, I never used anything to blend color pencils! Now my project is just an experiment because I will be trying to color using a black and white photo reference In other words I will have to imagine what colors to put down! Wish me luck! Thanks for the hints!!!
Thank you so much Kirsty, that’s a brilliant idea 💡 and it worked really really well. I really really love 💕 the cats 🐈 eye 👁 you did. Incredibly talented and clever xxx Mags
Is it just me or does everyone love this artist as well?
zest-it is only a rebranded citrus solvent, try Zep, Jantex or Just Orange. Zest-It is ridiculously expensive. Just Orange is about £10 a litre, Zest-it is about £10 for 125ml, the only difference is rebranding. ...so ten times more expensive for a little bottle and a logo.
interesting. Thanks for testing and sharing the results with us ^^
I know some people don't use vaseline after colouring. They dip the pencil in the vaseline and then start coloring.
I love your videos..especially when you talk about subjects...it helps me a lot...I hope you do a video like this soon because I feel so confused with my art.

Your cats eye is outstanding! The depth of the eye was spectacular.
I also enjoyed your comparisons in blending colored pencils with different
household products. Thank you for sharing💜
I use Gamsol odourless mineral spirits from Gamblin. I'm not sure if it's available to you in the U.K., but it's all I use and it's great. ☺️
Wow! Just starting out playing with different mediums...color pencils are one and this tip is great! Thanks!
Thank you for another great video, I was surprised that the nail polish worked so well, I would certainly give it a try, it dries really fast, an can take more layers without any problem, so definitely my favorite, I love the smell of it too... :-) I guess benzine would work as well, but it's very expensive nowadays... :-) and if I don't like how my drawing turned out it would burn easily
My pleasure and I was really surprised too! I hope it works for you 😊💕
After have seen this, I tried babyoile, im very suprised. The color is so much more clear. Thank you so much for the tip 😊
no matter how much nail polish remover I use...my art still sucks 😂
Keep trying, don't give up! I bet you're better than you think 🙂
Yea keep trying many artists can be there worst credic
Try "The Black Square", and the blending will help with this. ;D
Or try to stylize your art to make it less photorealistic.
lol
I was so confused about blending with the right way.. This video helped me a lot.. Specially wants to thank you for not skipping the video while you were making the brows of the cat..
Although I know this video is about blending materials, but I think it would have been helpful if we knew if you were using wax versus oil pencils.
she used prismacolors, which are wax based
She’s using both. Prismacolor are wax based, polychromos are oil based and luminance are a mixture of wax and oil.
Thanks for taking the time to do this. I wish all the butterflies were done with the same color for better comparison. Different colors may blend better than others, so all the same colors used would be better. Thanks again
Hello again, Kirsty, I already know its going to be another great video.
Dolly BA I hope you enjoy it 💕
I did! :)
Thank you so much! I am so grateful to have watched this video. I hope that I will get a chance to use the nail solvent over the coored pencis. You have such an amazing touch....God bless you for sharing this.
I think all worked the best
Lovely, I like the nail polish remover and the zest it. I've tried baby oil, it was just a mess.
Plz make a video on how to draw perfect outline for our sketch....
Thank you so much for sharing this nice technique.☺️💕
i didnt know she was engaged, he is quite handsome tooooo
Aww he will appreciate that 😀
I didn't even know this was possible which is a shame because I would have been trying these things years ago but my art lessons at school were in the 1970's and this was never covered. Now at 60 I hope that I can find a whole new world of art and give all these new things a try. Thank you so much for doing this amazing video, I've now subscribed and look forward to more of your wonderful tutorials. I'm off to give this a go with my granddaughter and see how we get on :D :D :D
Does it matter what kind of paper you use ?
I use it Benzyc Acid for blending (other names: Benzin 80/110, Benzium, Petroleum Ether). It's cheap and dry very fast. Same as the Gamsol. I bought in the apotheke (10 EUR/l). This solvent is working well with polychromos.
Have you tried non acetone nail polish to blend colored pencils and do you notice a different between acetone nailpolish remover vs non acetone nail polish remover?
Distilled white vinegar on a sponge tip makeup applicator works very well. It makes the colors even more vibrant and saturated as well
Should all colored pencil pieces be blended? The colors are much more vivid... With a light fast solvent, wouldn't it be a better piece? Or does it depend on what you're drawing?
Your art work is absolutely amazing. You are so gifted. Thank you for all you share. GOD bless you my dear❤️👍

I'd try the nail polish remover for the reasons you would. It's not fat. :) But 'd like to tyr some of that "real" stuff you had. What was it called? :)
I liked the coconut oil and the zest. The smell of the coconut oil is so lovely but not being able to layer would put me off
coconut oil 😍
I'll stick with the regular solvent.
Coconut oil 💖💖💖💖💖
This is so handy to know..I found baby oil too greasy..so I used Zest it..but it’s handy to know about the nail varnish remover as I always have some in the house..thank you 😀
Lovely and usefull video 🙂
Thank you 😊
This is my first time buying watercolor pencils, stupid me thought you really don’t use water lol.... well wrong. So after already coloring some of my felt color drawing (I can’t draw a straight line 😂) I am now going in with some baby oil.. thanks for your help, your cat eye is amazing so beautiful, so happy I stumbled onto your page.
Next video topic suggestion : cost effective way to achieve good pigmented coverage without purchasing those expensive quality pencils :') I simply adore the look they give but the price makes my heart bleed.
Droolpuppy Try the prismacolor scholars! In US Premier 12pc set is $24.99, whereas Scholar 12pc is $13.49. I was trained with Premier and I actually prefer the Scholars. The difference is that Premier is soft core and Scholars is hard core. They’re nearly equally pigmented from my swatches. I prefer the Scholars partially because of the price and partially because they don’t break nearly as much when sharpening or in the core if they take a tumble. If you can buy from US shops, Michaels and Hobby Lobby both carry them and pretty much always have a 40% off a regular price item coupon. I used that coupon at Michaels and got the 12pc set for $8. Hope this helps!!!
@@moxiephillips9661 At our Michael's the price is over $2.25 a pencil! Waiting for a coupon is annoying. You can buy individual pencils far less expensive at Blicks. They start at $1.35 each. I looks like Cheap Joe's and Jerry's Artarama only sell them in sets.
I am just beginning to learn to draw with colored pencils so thanks for the lesson
USING WATERCOLOR PENCILS like a pencil without water, what do I use to preserve my drawing? If I spray anything on it will it make the drawing bleed since I used it like a color pencil and no water?
Did I say this correct?
Try a spritz of a sealant for pencil and charcoal. Do a swatch and spray that first to test so if it does cause bleeding, it won’t be doing that on your piece. Hope this helps!!
Use a product called ( in the US) “Workable Fixative” if you think you may want to go back into the art piece to make corrections, add layers etc. or you can use just “ Fixative” if you don’t need to go back into the piece and add more layers . These products are great for graphite, pastels as well as colored pencils, watercolor pencils and watercolors. As with ALL products , test before using on your art piece in case it reacts wirh your particular paper or art media. And follow the directions of spraying several thin coats not one thick coat!!
I use these Spray Fixatives in my mixed media art when I’ve used a water based media and I want to add something on top that I think will smear my water based media . So far I’ve used the fixatives wirh just about every media you can think Of ( nothing oil based) and I haven’t had an issue.
It’s in an spray can , and the brand name is Krylon . You can get it at Michaels and other craft stores, as well as art supplies like Dick Blick, Jerrysartarama , Cheap Joe’s etc.
Thank you so much for sharing this video!
Have you tried mineral oil? Also, a friend tried EVOO but even with blotting, it became sticky some months later and it had a slight odor. She has to keep in a glassene envelope. Great cats eye by the way.
Isn't mineral oil and baby oil pretty much the same. I could be wrong!
Marleigh Mae i guess in a way it is. They probably are both made from petroleum, not sure. I don’t use petroleum products on my skin. Which then makes me think of petroleum jelly as another item to blend with. I’m going to have to try it because I print with an inkjet printer onto copy paper and my ink smears if wet by water and I figure liquid mineral spirits might do the same.
Wow...completely amazing...thanks for sharing. You did an excellent job on the cat eyes..love love love it. 🌿🦋🌿
This is so cool!
Thank you 😊
This was fun & informative. What a cute couple you & your guy make! When I need just a bit of blending, I use my natural oil from my face (providing I'm not wearing make up or had just washed my face. Like you, I use a "cotton bud" which we call a Q tip hear in the U.S.
When I saw the thumbnail I thought you were going to bend pencils in a blender 😂
Thank you for sharing these tips! I always had trouble with burnishing. I going to try them soon! 😊
Awesome again!
Great video.impressed with the nail polish blending. Thank you.
I think I would avoid the olive and coconut oils - they might go rancid over time...
Excellent. Fascinating. One thing I don't care for in colored pencils is all the time you have to spend building up the colors, but with the solvents it seems nearly as fast as water color.
Kirsty: "now i got hand santizer...
Me in 2019: Idk.
Me in 2020: GIMME SOOOOME!!!!
You are so gifted with your art, and this was so informative! Thank you...
Argan Morocco Oil ...
Sorry for so meny comments,but i wanted to say,the baby oil works,the olive oil and coconut can go rancid and rot the paper eventually. Btw you make awesome vids,thanks for sharing
love the video. and you and Darby looking cute together. and one request to you can you tell to make a tutorial on league of legends game if he wanted to by the way sister you always look so flawless .
