About Coloured Pencils-1 U3A Botanical Illustration: about coloured pencils, part 1 Introduction Coloured Pencils Coloured pencils can be used on their own or in combination with graphite pencils and watercolour or other media e.g. coloured inks. There are, of course, coloured pencils and … coloured pencils. They vary in quality and colour strength and whether they are ‘just’ coloured pencils or are water-colour coloured pencils which can be used in combination with water to create watercolour effects. All have their uses and it does boil down to a matter of preferences and how much money you are willing to spend as to which ones you use. Some good makes are: Faber Castell (especially polychromes) Derwent (huge range) Caran d’ache (especially watercolour pencils) Berol Prismacolor (wonderful vibrant colours) Tombow Irojiten Other equipment Graphite pencils (H, HB, F, B, 2B) Blender pencil Burnisher pencil Plastic eraser / battery operated eraser Putty rubber, blu or white tack, or Faber Castell malleable art eraser for lifting highlights Good quality hot-pressed, acid-free paper Feather for brushing away loose rubbings Magnifying glass Pencil sharpener / craft knife Fixative spray Different makes of coloured pencils can be used in combination. Using coloured pencils isn’t just about colouring in. There are some techniques that can help you to create lovely effects in botanical paintings. Some of these are set out below. Basic technique Use elliptical strokes with the pencil to gain a smooth effect. Vary the pressure, pressing more heavily in darker areas and less heavily in the lighter areas. You can use an underlying grey for shadow areas which you can then go over with colour. Layering You can build up strength of colour by layering in much the same way you would with watercolour. Try not to go in too heavily to start with. After establishing your shadow areas e.g. in grey, choose three colours to represent the flower, leaf or part of the plant you are working on: a pale, medium (true) and dark version of each colour e.g. yellow-green, green (the closest to the actual colour), darker green etc. If you haven’t got three shades of the same colour, use what you have. Work from darkest colour to lightest, from shadow areas to lighter areas. Leave highlights white until nearly the end of the drawing, when you can decide whether just to leave them white or to add some light colour to all or part of them . Blending Blending refers to placing a lighter colour or colourless pencil (blending pencil) layer over coloured pencil to blend colours together or to blur edges. Burnishing Burnishing means making the surface of the drawing smooth and a bit shiny. You can achieve this by going over your drawing quite heavily at the end with a lighter colour or with a burnishing tool, a pencil with clear pigment especially designed for creating a smooth, shiny surface.

  • Tombow Introduces New Dual Brush Pen Colors
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE November 20, 2018 Tombow Introduces 12 New Dual Brush Pen Colors ATLANTA – Now you have a dozen new reasons to love Tombow Dual Brush Pens. For the first time in 29 years, the iconic arts and crafts brand has introduced new colors to its wildly popular Dual Brush Pen line of water-based art markers. The 12 new colors added to the Dual Brush Pen lineup take the full collection from 96 to 108 colors. Earlier this year Tombow released a new Marker Case with 108 slots, developed specifically to store the full range of Dual Brush Pens. “These new Dual Brush Pen colors provide a well-balanced color assortment for all types of art and design projects,” said Director of Marketing Cathy Daniel. “We looked at our previous color assortment and tried to fill gaps to give our artists the best possible spectrum to use in their art projects. Many of the colors are also based on current trends.” Dual Brush Pens were first introduced in 1984, with additional colors added in 1989. Since that time no new colors have been introduced to the line. These brush pens are popular among artists, designers, and illustrators for their ease of use and durability. One end of the Dual Brush Pen features a brush tip that acts like a paintbrush, giving thick or thin lines by changing the amount of pressure added to the pen. The other end features a hard, fine tip that allows the user to create consistent lines. The water-based ink allows the Dual Brush Pens to blend and layer.

  • Other Grease Pencils and Markers
    OTHER GREASE PENCILS AND MARKERS After writing an online essay about Listo mechanical grease pencils (aka china markers, crayon pencils, etc.), I took an inventory of all the other brands of “markers” that had stuck to my hands over the years. I found two dozen! When I stroll the outdoor and indoor antiques and collectibles markets in this area, I pick up anything that looks like fun and is in my price range, i.e. cheap - - Frank Dubiel (RIP) and I had a lot in common. (Also, if you’ve read my other essays, you know I am first and foremost an Autopoint, Realite and Realpoint collector.) So I’m going to show you a sort of “parade” of markers which 1)vary between mechanical instruments and simple “clamp the lead” devices, 2)use a wide variety of diameters of grease or crayon type leads, and 3)are made from various materials like wood, plastic, and metal. I’ll lead off with Autopoint’s sole offering first, then retreat to what I suspect is the oldest marker in my collection, and work toward the most modern of the markers that I found. A WORD ABOUT MARKERS AND LEAD REFILLS SIZES: Autopoint, Listo and many other manufacturers made “checking pencils” along with their production of “normal” mechanical pencils, especially in the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s. Autopoint probably made a hundred different styles of “regular” mechanical pencils, but it also made a wide variety of “checking” pencils over those years. Most of Autopoint’s early mechanical pencils either used .046” diameter (“standard”) or .036” diameter (“real thin”) leads, but its “checking” leads were .076” in diameter (or ~1.93mm).

    MASS SPECTROMETRIC INVESTIGATION OF THE AGING PROCESSES OF BALLPOINT INK FOR THE EXAMINATION OF QUESTIONED DOCUMENTS INAUGURAL DISSERTATION For the degree of Doktor rer. nat. submitted to Justus-Liebig-University Giessen (Faculty of Biology and Chemistry) Céline Weyermann born on 13.03.1978 in La Chaux-de Fonds Switzerland. Giessen, 23th September 2005 Dean Prof. Dr. Jürgen Mayer 1st Referee Prof. Dr. Bernhard Spengler 2nd Referee Prof. Dr. Pierre Margot 3rd Referee Prof. Dr. Rudolf Geyer Zusammenfassung In den forensischen Wissenschaften ist die Bestimmung des Alters einer Kugelschreibereintragung (z.B. Kugelschreiberstrich) ein wichtiges Kriterium bei der Echtheitsprüfung von Dokumenten. Seit Beginn dieser Untersuchungen ist die Altersbestimmung eine wichtige und meist unbeantwortet gebliebene Frage geblieben. Die forensischen Wissenschaftler streiten sich über die Möglichkeit und die Validierung von Datierungsmethoden. Diese Kontroverse ist der Angangspunkt dieser Arbeit gewesen. Kugelschreiberpasten bestehen aus drei Hauptkomponenten: Lösungsmitteln (50%), Farbstoffen (25%) und Harzen (25%). Nach dem Auftragen der Pasten auf Papier findet mit der Zeit eine qualitative und quantitative Veränderung der Zusammensetzung der Kugelschreibereintragung statt. Während Farbstoffe ausbleichen, d.h. vor allem photochemisch abgebaut werden, wird das Alterungsverhalten der Lösungsmittel durch den Verdampfungs- und Diffusionsprozess charakterisiert. In der vorgestellten Arbeit, sind die Alterungsprozesse von Farbstoffen und Lösungsmitteln mittels

    ‘Modern’ calligraphy has been making the rounds lately and if you're here — that's probably what you want to learn! But before we get all into the details, here's one thing you need to remember: calligraphy is not cursive. Cursive is joined up writing; you ideally write without li�ting your pen so you can write faster. While calligraphy can look similar, the key is to go slow and to break down each and every letter into its supporting strokes. THE BASIC STROKES ASCENDER LINE WAIST LINE BASE LINE DESCENDER LINE Or as some people call them, the drills! As dull as it sounds, brush lettering is made up of 9 common strokes illustrated above. With these strokes alone, you can form 21 out of the 26 letters in the lowercase alphabet — and some of the capital letters too! HOW THIS WORKS In Brush Basics, we'll be building your foundation right by covering all 9 strokes over the course of 2 weeks! Here's the schedule: On Day 1, you'll learn how to use your brush pen to form thin upstrokes and thick downstrokes. This is an easy lesson, so you have just one day to tackle it! Lesson 2 (delivered on Day 2) will cover underturn and overturn strokes. Lessons 3 and 4 (delivered on Days 4 and 6, respectively) will see you taking on the two di�ferent compound curves. You'll learn all about ovals in Lesson 5 (delivered on Day 8) — and because this is a hard one, you'll have not two but three days to practice it.
