I could, but I choose to put lighter versions of the colors am putting down under first. Sort of like when you tint your primer before painting a wall. So for instance, if I want a vibrant red I might put pink underneath. The reason I don't use white under on sanded paper is that white is very very soft and will fill in the tooth of the paper too quickly.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15449813797621330902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3555538283837807387.post-9468957532455847192011-08-24T06:37:30.239-04:002011-08-24T06:37:30.239-04:00Hello,

' <br /><br />Do you mean that you first apply white ( or light color ) colored pencil before applying the other colors on light and medium areas ? <br /><br />Hope you'll answer :)Shumahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14545069621661409425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3555538283837807387.post-8013641806569195562011-07-01T07:46:04.165-04:002011-07-01T07:46:04.165-04:00Hello Nicole I thankyou for all the info on cp wit...Hello Nicole I thankyou for all the info on cp without glass. I learned so much especially that you cant spray varnish polychromo's. I use them with my other pencils and never knew this. I will be watching your blog and hope to learn more.I love cp but I am fairly new to them. I always liked the idea of no glass on my work. I dont like to look at are through a barrier.ELhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04491387360070727559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3555538283837807387.post-42146898767726877442011-07-01T07:42:39.814-04:002011-07-01T07:42:39.814-04:00Hello Nicole

...Thanks Katherine for promoting it!!<br /><br />Thx Belinda!<br /><br />Malcolm - I'd love to see your approach too! <br /><br />Thx Vivien!<br /><br />Oh good Jo - they are a lot of fun! & thanks for posting this on your blog!<br /><br />Sarah - Thanks for the comment. This technique is definitely not for everyone. If you are at a gallery that doesn't allow works under glass, or want to fit in with a bunch of oil and acrylic painters, I would suggest trying it! I've found that buyers enjoy them more when they don't have the glass barrier but framing behind Museum Glass (non-glare) and no matting gives a similar effect. I just can't afford Museum Glass!<br /><br />Thanks Katherine!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15449813797621330902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3555538283837807387.post-26322718530216421492011-01-30T05:45:10.444-05:002011-01-30T05:45:10.444-05:00This is so interesting.

Prismacolors are my go to medium. After years of experience, I found that I only like using them on bristol, vellum finish.<br /><br />I've been using them since I was a teenager. I actually first found them in AP art class in high school. So, by the time I was sitting in scientific illustration 1 class in college and the teacher was giving a similar tutorial... well, that's just one of those moments where you sit there and think, this comes inherently to me, because I've been using these for years.<br /><br />I have to say, being aware that prismacolors are essentially pigment and wax, I have never felt the need to varnish my work, and yes, I just frame it with glass. If you "varnish" something and your details literally disappear, then your varnish has dissolved your pigment. So, I would caution against doing that.<br /><br />Lovely work : )Sarah Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16054477978470497670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3555538283837807387.post-42786460559528808422011-01-28T22:55:48.856-05:002011-01-28T22:55:48.856-05:00Ah, Nicole.

However, now that I've seen your method, I'd also like to try this approach with smaller works too!
