Review on 🎨 Enhance Your Artistic Creations with the Derwent Blender and Burnisher Pencil Set by Carol Miller

I draw a lot with colored pencils and Prismacolor Premier pencils and often need to blend and buff to get a smooth finish that looks more like paint. To allow for extensive layering, blending, and buffing, I use medium-weight, lightweight paper. I tried this Derwent Blender and Burnisher Set in addition to the Koh-I-Noor Polycolor Blending Pencil, Prismacolor Colorless Blending Pencil, Prismacolor Premier White and Cream Pencil Blending, and Turpenoid. For my purposes I use this Derwent set the most. I find that both the Derwent blender and buffing rods have softer tips that work faster and with the effect I want: than other blending and buffing options. I find that I'm also very fond of Turpenoid, but it's quite dirty and finicky, and I think Derwent pencils are no worse. Instead of reaching for a bottle of Turpenoid and a brush, the most common things that end up in my hand are a Derwent mixer and buffing sticks. Each of the products I have tried has its own benefits. Koh-I-Noor Polycolor is a very complex thing that requires more effort and time than the other products mentioned above. However, they have a more gradual action and offer better control over blending and/or buffing. It just takes a lot of work and pressure. Using thinner paper can damage the paper. The Prismacolor Colorless Shader Pencil has a softer tip and slightly less force than Koh-I-Noor. Using white and cream Prismacolor Premiere pencils worked well, but they change the saturation of the color. If that doesn't bother you, well done. Turpenoid works very well, and if you don't mind the mess and need to find the right brush to apply it, prepare to be impressed. After using it I just can't get rid of the oily stains on my hands. It's relatively expensive, but it makes a big difference. I've included a scan of some examples of mixing and buffing with each of these products. The first box from the left is Prismacolor Premiere True Blue applied with medium pressure. All other boxes started with this so you can see how they worked. Ignore the mess that could be and you need to find the right brush to apply it, get ready to be impressed. After using it I just can't get rid of the oily stains on my hands.
