How to Use a Brush Pen Blender?

Published in Art Techniques 1 min read

A brush pen blender is used to smoothly transition between colors applied with brush pens. Based on the provided information, here's a basic method:

  1. Apply the First Color: Use a brush pen to apply your first color to the desired area. In the example, yellow is used.
  2. Apply the Second Color: Apply your second color where you want to blend it with the first. The example uses orange, applying it in a smaller area bordering the yellow. The video emphasizes using "very little" of the second color.
  3. Use the Blender Pen: Take your brush pen blender (which often contains a colorless blending solution).
  4. Blend the Colors: Gently move the blender pen across the area where the two colors meet. The blender will spread the colors and create a smooth transition between them.

In essence, the blender pen acts as a solvent, allowing you to manipulate and mix the brush pen inks already on the paper. This results in a gradient or softened edge between the colors.
