Using Pencil Blend and a brush.
The Coloured Pencil was applied to watercolour paper in the normal way.
A Blending Sponge was used to dampen a soft 1/4" flat brush by pressing the brush to the sponge surface.

The dampened brush was used to blend the coloured pencil. It was blended from dark to light, giving a soft transition of colour.
Using a brush means the under-painting can be completed very quickly and the 'tooth' of the paper is retained.

The area can be left to dry or further Coloured Pencil can be added to the area whilst the paper is still damp, each will give a different look.

Using Pencil Blend - with Tortillion. Paper stumps also work well for blending and are firmer then the Tortillion, more information on blending can be found under blending tools.

Pencil Blend is available in a variety of useful sizes 50 ml; 125 ml and 250 ml and has a minimum usable shelf life of 5 years.
