No, I'm not tanning, but I will if the weather will ever cooperate, HA.
I need the baby oil for a new method of blending color pencils. I colored this image using Koh-l-noor woodless color pencils, baby oil and a stump. It didn't feel any different than using mineral spirits, it blended beautifully. Then I used a white gel pen for a few dots of highlight, here and there. I think I will still use my spirits, 'cause it was a little harder to sand off the color from the stump....not hard, just a little harder (the color seemed to soak into the stump more for me). Hope you give this one a try....new things that turn out good makes me "crazy happy" !!!

This turned out really nice Crystal! Your highlighting of the apple is perfect; it looks good enough to eat!
Nice job, Crystal. I've been following the conversation all day and would love to try the method but so far I haven't been able to find blending stumps. Hobby Lobby didn't have them and neither did my local sbs. So I'll have to drive to Michael's but I probably won't ge there until the weekend.
: ( Can't wait to try it though. Thanks for all the tips!
Spirits are for drinking not for coloring! LOL.
Stunning and the apple looks so real. You are a superb artist!
Hugs,
Cool coloring! Good tips on the spirits vs. baby oil. I haven't tried that technique (yet:)
Wonderful coloring. TFS!
