Recently, I got a brand new fresh box of colored pencils. Such a relaxing afternoon was had creating a swatch I then taped to the underside of the lid!
Here’s what I’ve not figured out about colored pencils yet…how to get that deep saturation I sometimes see? I’ll figure it out…one day.
A brand new box of colored pencils…. I love that feeling of cracking it open- the smell, the newness, how sharp they are, and all of that latent potential….!
I know that if I use my Prismacolors I can get them to not have the paper showing through if I use the heck out of the blending colored pencil that they have.
I’m still not great with my Bruynzeel pencils, but that seems to be a matter of pressure. I haven’t worked with my new Cretacolor pencils yet. Swatch time!
I’ve never thought of doing a swatch for colored pencils! I always just have to have a scrap piece of paper ready to test them out. This would save me a lot of time!
