I wi...Thank you for your comment and your question. I will answer here and also do a daily post.<br /><br />Question:What is the difference between Gamsol & OMS? <br />Answer:There is no difference-Gamsol is a brand name for Odorless Mineral Spirits (OMS) Actually I use Mona Lisa brand that can be purchased at Michaels.<br /><br />Question:Which Prisma pencils do you use?<br />Answer:I use Prismacolor Premier. Any colored pencils can be used as long as they are wax based. It is important that they are wax based because the OMS "melts" the wax allowing the color to be spread on the paper.<br /><br />Question: Do you use blending tips or a dauber or what?<br />Answer: For the most part I use Q-tips. For very small areas that a Q-tip is too large, I use a small watercolor paint brush.<br /><br />Question:Where does one get instruction on this technique? <br />Answer:I am self taught with the help of the many tutorials on You Tube. I really do better by "seeing" rather than reading. Here is a link to what I consider to be the best tutorial on the subject of what is called the Magic Colored Pencil Technique (MCPT)<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WCCo9799dWo<br /><br />Something that was not asked but is also important, is the paper that is used. It is best to use a smooth paper, I use Beckett Expression which is a little pricey, but well worth it. While learning, you may want to consider a less expensive brand of paper. Georgia Pacific 130lb is a good substitute for Beckett Expression, and can be purchased at Walmart at a fraction of the cost.<br /><br />I hope this is helpful and if you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask. If you have any questions, you may want to consider leaving your email address to receive a personal response.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14373934640154299119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5539327224530183403.post-17518982078758275032009-05-03T08:02:00.000-04:002009-05-03T08:02:00.000-04:00What is the difference between Gamsol & OMS? ...What is the difference between Gamsol & OMS? <br />Which Prisma pencils do you use?<br />Do you use blending tips or a dauber or what?<br />Where does one get instruction on this technique?
