To blend colors with colored pencils, start by layering colors lightly to avoid damaging the paper. Gradually increase pressure to build depth and blend colors using small, circular motions. Experiment with different layering sequences and varying pressure to achieve the desired effect. Utilize a colorless blender pencil or a white pencil to further blend and burnish the colors. Additionally, rubbing alcohol can be lightly applied with a cotton swab for a blended effect. Remember to maintain the tooth of the paper for layering. By practicing these techniques, color mixing with colored pencils can be both effective and enjoyable.
