thanks so much! I have a 3 yr old grandson who loves to color and do crafts. I see a new project in our near future.

the gel medium . . . is that spread/brushed over the block or carefully "painted" over the artwork? thanks!

I took a class once and want to do an Elmo for Isabella. I bought a coloring book at Michael's that had big pictures and am going to get this done before Christmas.....don't know what year but hopefully this one

Funny, I just read about this the other day! Inktense and Derwent were the colored pencils recommended. The gel is regular ol' clear Aloe Vera gel (NOT lotion) available anywhere.

Brush on the clear Aloe Vera Gel, let dry and wash out.

I wish I could draw! This sounds wonderful, and I'm grateful for your tutorial. Someday, I'll get up the nerve to try it!

I haven't tried any of these techniques. I was told that the Derwents Inktense pencils are permanent after you wet them. Someone on the board suggested using aloe vera gel instead of water because it is easier to control. I was always told that to make other pencils permanent you need to apply a paint medium I can't remember the name. Like I said I have never tried this. I guess I would try making a couple of samples and running them thru the washing machine several times before I did a big project.
