ZEST - IT Pencil Blend 125 ml, TZP125

Disolves wax on coloured pencil making it easy to blend and create smooth texture. I use it by dipping a tortillion in and get good effects that way. Lasts a long time but does evaporate quick so you may need to keep dipping into it to apply more. Well worth experimenting with.

This product was recommended to me and I'm so glad I tried it.Use with blending stumps (see another of my reviews) which are inexpensive to buy.This product will change your colouring projects tenfold. No more line marks from your pencils.Colour in as normal then using the smallest amount, I dipped the end in the bottle just onto the 'nib' then go over where you want to blend out any lines or between shades in a circular motion and watch the lines you don't want blend into seamlessly smooth coverage. Another bonus is the sweet citrus smell to the solution rather than a heavy chemical or alcohol smell. Improves your colouring technique and projects. Highly recommend.

Really great blender for blending with good quality colour pencils.Nice aroma.

Highly recommend! So easy to use and makes blending easy. It does seep through the paper but once dried honestly can't tell. I am new to drawing so this has made it so much easier for me to learn and I would say its perfect for professional artists too. The other blenders I have used smell so bad! Hurt my eyes and nose to use. This one smells like oranges with a slight chemically smell. Really do recommend it.

I had never used a blending fluid before this so I have nothing to compare it too but I bought some cheap colouring pencils that I was finding difficult to blend. I used Zest it on my page and it smoothed out all the lines and made it look as though I had been colouring in high quality pencils! This stuff is great and it has a nice smell too, huge bottle that will last for a long time, very pleased with my purchase :)

This works well but be careful to use it sparingly. As other reviewers have said, "a little goes a long way". For my first attempt I used a brush that I'd filled with solution before applying. It worked really well except for the fact that it seeped well beyond the area I wanted it to. It also took quite a while to dry. My second attempt was with a cotton bud and gave me similar results to the brush. Since then I have developed my skills a bit and found that with a bit of judicious application I can get really excellent results.I have a Artist's Loft double-ended pencil blender. I have found that by using the hard, nib end and dipping it, very slightly into the solution I can get the precision I want. I have been really pleased with the results. Given the amount that is needed is so small I imagine a 125ml bottle with last for ages.Overall, it works very well. It may take a bit of practice to get the results you want but persevere; it will be worth it.

I saw this while watching someone use it on you tube. Thought I would give it a go. It is amazing, blends my castle art pencils beautifully. Dont know what I did without it. Ive tried every blending method i can think of and this beats them all hands down. If your an avid colorist you need this in your arsenal.

Blendes pencils well, although be sure not to use too much as it does leak through the other side of the paper if your working i a sketchbook. I used prisma coloured pencils when using this pencil blend.
