Derwent Blender and Burnisher Pencil Set, Drawing, Art Supplies (2301774), 1 Set, assorted

Incrível como tudo da Derwent. Eu já tinha um blender que está bem pequeno. Testei o burnisher aplicando antes da cor com as linhas artist, drawing, inktense e procolour. Ficou melhor com a artist. Aplicando depois da cor, só vi diferença na inktense. Já usando antes do polychromos da faber ficou muito bom, dá para misturar as cores normalmente.

These are very good quality additions to your good quality coloured pencils. The blender gives you the ability to mix colour on the page, softening transitions between colours and tones and giving endless possibilities on top of the colours in the tin. How many layers of colour you can put down depends on the quality of your paper. Think of it a little like the smudge tool in a graphics program, it is almost as versatile. The burnisher does more than add shine. Burnishing in coloured pencil refers to putting a lighter colour over a darker to create a subtle highlight or (with the effect of making a shine) the effect of adding moistness to create a realistic look to an eye for example. If a highlight is to be stark, then the paper is left to show though. Sometimes a touch of the burnisher over the plain paper can be a more realistic effect than the plain paper highlight but care is needed to make sure not to overdo any of these techniques. The eraser and sharpener are a nice bonus with this set. While I tend to use kneadable erasers for most of the lifting of colour that I need, an eraser like this is perfect for lifting a graphite pencil outline so that it is not worked into the coloured pencil. It is vital to clean a sketch as you render the colour as graphite and coloured pencil do not mix. The sharpener is very good quality and won't damage your coloured pencils at all. If you're experimenting with coloured pencil painting, then this is a neccesary addition to your tools.

Toso perfecto

The pencils work perfectly with water color pencils. I have used these with Derwent Watercolor pencils and their metallic color pencil. The blender needs a little pressure to smudge the colors but the end result is amazing. The colours are spread out evenly and mix well. The transitions now appear smooth.
