Tulips in coloured pencil
Well my computer seems to be behaving itself again so I'll carry on with the posts about sketching kits I was going to do last week.
First of all, here is the coloured pencil kit I've put together.
Coloured pencil rolls
I couldn't confine myself to just one pencil roll, so I have two, roughly split between warm and cool colours. These are all Prismacolors.
Cp accessories
Next a few accessories - Prismacolor colourless blender and Derwent blender, Prismacolour sharpener, Jakar battery eraser, putty rubber and small metal tin to keep it in, and cotton buds tissue and make up pads in a small ziplock bag.
Cp kit
And here it all is ready to go, two pencil rolls and a pencilcase with accessories. Just need to add asketchbook and it's done. Here I was, thinking I'd get to go out and do some sketching with it, with all the kids at home for Easter, what was I thinking of! So a bit of indoor sketching for now, before i take it on the road.

Great site, thanks for showing your equipment it's always good to see what other artists are using. I like your style.
Great Kit..I should get hold of something like this. This was really helpful.
I have a few queries:
1) What are blenders?
2)What are you using putty for?
3)Are cotton buds, tissue used to even the colors?
Thank you so much & have a nice day!
Thanks Stephen!
Deepartz, in answer to your questions -
1 Blenders are just a stick of colourless binder that is used to bind pigment in a coloured pencil. It looks just like a regular pencil but with no colour. You use it to blend colours together and push the pigment into the paper.
2 I use putty to gently lift colour of the paper without damaging it.
3 Yes cotton buds and tissues also blend colours together
hooley dooley, you keep your pencils so organised, im impressed! xoxo
