Blending and Burnishing Techniques

Burnishing with color pencil can create a beautiful rich glazed look. Burnishing is layering multiple colors and then applying heavy pressure with a light color pencil or with a tool. The wax melds together and causes the drawing surface to become slick. For example, after layering colors, apply heavy pressure with Prismacolor Cloud Blue PC1023. Repeat the process again until a polished or vivid effect is achieved. Burnishing is ideal for creating sparkling glass, polished surfaces, and metals. Blending is the process of layering colors and blending the layers of color together with layering techniques and/or combination of blending tools. As a result you get rich photo like works.
