Discover the Magic of the Blender

In some sets, or sometimes separately, you will find a crayon with a white hard tip, the use of which you may be unsure of. We'll reveal you its secret.

This is a special blending pencil that is clear and considerably harder than the rest of the crayons. This blender is usually used with them to spread the pigment, facilitate blending and overlapping of colours, or to unify shades, since crayon drawing can be structured depending on the surface. You can use the blender to achieve a smoother look, making the drawing look unified and the coloured areas calmer.

Ways to use the blender:

Blending shades on the paper
Gradual spreading of the colour into transparent one
Unification (thickening) of the colour applied with a crayon, the drawing has more intense coverage
Batik, drawing a motive with a blender and applying a light coloured layer with a crayon so that it does not completely cover the original motive
Distinguishing of the saturation in a uniform coloured area, e.g. suitable for trees, grass, etc.
