I have mixed it up a bit this week with more pictures from the planner – hope you enjoyed that! There were also lots from Worlds of Wonder as normal but I will be starting to add in videos from World of Flowers and Ivy and the Inky Butterfly soon as well.
There are many brands of coloured pencils and some will blend more easily than others. Some very cheap brands may not blend well, but perhaps may still layer on top of each other effectively. It can be worth a try to see what you can achieve. I use the same blending method with every brand […]
Monochrome just means colouring in one colour. Many people think it means black and white but it can be any colour and white, or any colour without white!
