Blending CPencil with Zest-it

Belinda Lindhardt — Thu, 22 Sep 2011 00:16:06 +0000

If your a coloured pencil artist and have been to one of my workshops you will have heard me talk about Zest-it.

Zest-it has also been advertised recently in some of the local art magazines or on overseas websites if your a pencil enthusiast.

It’s a little difficult to come by here in Australia and I often get asked where to buy it which has happened alot recently!
Good news for you, I have a new supply in my shop you can purchase from here: http://shop.belindalindhardt.com.au/

If you are one of my local workshop attendees pop me an email I am happy for you to pickup to save shipping.

How to use Zest-it and What is it?

If you would like to know more about blending your pencils with Zest-it I have a video and article written on the ACPN website please check it out.

New Copic Pens

So, was in my artshop on the weekend, using up a voucher (decided to buy some really thick 600gsm archers watercolour paper and give that try), as i was standing readythere to go out i saw these new art pens by Copic.

Yes yes i hear you say there are a few various pens out there and yes i am a sucker for them. The shop assistant started talking about them how she had bought them for her son an architect and he loved them. So i had another closer look thinking *i really shouldnt be looking at new pens i have some at home*, these they were $12.95 ! I thought wow, that’s expensive, then it dawned on meÂ here is the reason why THE ARE REFILLABLE!!!!
They have separate ink and nib cartridges (the inks were about $3.50 each) at that price it works out much cheaper than the other pens then you have to buy a whole new pen.

Added to that, one of these pens had a .03 nib (i havent been able to find one that small before)Â and brush nib for working with larger bits of ink (shown in the pic) . The pens also come in all the usual ranges of .05, .5 etc. I was so excited to try these out and they are fantastic. (i ended up putting a few other things back in the artshop so i could buy 2
They are also waterproof, copic marker proof, archival with pigment ink So these are my new favourite thing

IfÂ you like usingÂ these sorts of pens in your artwork make sure you check these out.
