Hey gals!
While I was browsing through the Sunday paper, I saw an ad from Aaron Brothers. All of their Prismacolor art pencils were 50% off! I've been wanting these for a long time, and decided to go ahead and get a small set to play with. I got this beautiful set of 24 for only $15!! I can't wait to get these babies sharpened up and onto paper.
I've never used these before, but I've already got odorless mineral spirits and a blending stump. Does anyone out there have any tips for me? I've seen SO many beautiful samples and I'd love to hear how you use these.

I would be sure you have a good elextric pencil sharpener. When I first got mine I didn't have one and I almost ruined some of my pencils trying to use a manual. I know you were looking for advise on using the pencils but a good sharp pencils is the way to start.
Welcome to the Prisma World! I usually outline the image like you would water color pencils then blend from the outside to the center. There are some great tutorials on SCS that are very helpful. Robin (robth on SCS)
I've yet to find gamsol, so I use Baby Oil. It works, but I'd love to try the gamsol. Best of luck...can't wait to see your art work.

You will love these! I agree with Kittie! A manual pencil sharpener will eat the tips right off these babies. Have fun coloring!
