Sakura XLP-00 Cray-Pas Expressionist Extender: Colorless for Blending (Pack of 12) Review

I wanted multicolored crepes and ended up ordering transparent crepes to mix. poop! Ok... I guess I'll have to order a regular set?!1

I was happy to see colorless blenders in the cray-pas line. I've used blenders with other materials, but this was new to me. I may not know the intended use yet, but I find it similar to maskit in watercolor or wax in tie-dye. Put on the blender area, put another color on or near the blender and blend it with your fingers. While not pure white, the result is atmospheric and organic, perfect for clouds or the sea. I look forward to further research.

I bought these to use with my same brand oil pastel kit and they are great for mixing! They help keep the color cast when blending and make the blend less cloudy than if you were to blend with white or something similar. The only problem I had was that it's quite difficult to mix the color where the extension was used. Also, I would have liked them to come in a smaller package. They're amazing for the price, but 12 pastels is a little overkill for my needs. Overall this is a great product if…
