Simon, After watching your video , I ordered gamsol and a blending pen. It's been sitting on my desk for weeks now. Today I happened to watch Jennifer McGuire using coloring pencils with gamsol. Well I filled my pen and tried it, and I am in love. It is incredible. I have been wanting to get some markers to color with, like zig or arteza cause I can't afford the copics. But after using gamsol I am so happy. I can use my color pencils now and be happy. God bless you Simon for helping me. You shine.

Thanks for the video. I subbed, and decided to fill a tombow colorless blender pen with alcohol 👌 it's GREAT for blending my Oil based colored pencils! I also use gel pens for shading and it works fab!!! I avoid oms and any kind of turps and found out with a great deal of fanfare that I get better than by with an alcohol glycerin blend. Great work showing the ack! I'm investing in a large 100 alcohol markers, student grade but well rated. I making greeting cards and colored images for them is a wonderful time of all media.

What a sweet set Simon and I love your card. I have the older version of that marker but it never occurred to me to get one for Gamsol, an awesome idea and I wasn't a huge fan of the bullet nib either so I love the new version. I'll def. be getting one for my Gamsol. The Chameleon pencils are what I am thinking of buying as well. How do you feel they compare to the others that are available? The price point is def. better but I wasn't sure how they ranked against the others. Any advice? Thanks in advance.

@anneslinger2189 5 жыл бұрын

I have the old style pen with odorless mineral spirits because of your previous video. It is a TOTAL game changer. It is awesome. I will say, thought, I totally over-filled the pen the first time. If that happens, you will know, because the pen drips all over the place. The fix? Take the cap off of both ends and set the pen in a cup. Let the excess drain. When it stops dripping, it's good to go. I thought I would share in case someone has had problems with this and didn't know what to do.

Hey there Simon :) It looks like the new diameter of the barrel would be much more comfortable in the hand than the old one.....old and a little arthritic hands here speaking....couple of questions here: #1 I was wondering if the ounces on the container would correspond with the measurements on the pipette making it easier to know how much to add? The pipette is a great idea!!! #2 Have you tried the gamsol with the more inexpensive colored pencils like Crayola brand? That would really make the "marker look" really accessible :) Your card is absolutely adorable...love it!!!

Brilliant ideas! I am a Brit living in northern Portugal and have never found good craft shops here so use Amazon. Now I know we have different tax laws but those Chameleon pencils? $27.84 in the USA. In the U.K.? $62.66 !! Ouch! So far have only found the pen on eBay...from the USA with postage charges twice the price of the pen! I will just have to wait and see if the prices drop in a while.. I was hoping to be able to colour in tiny stamps more easily. I bought Chameleon markers but they are not that fine and I found that staying within the lines in tiny parts was virtually impossible! Back to the drawing board! Lol! Thanks for your great videos though and please keep up the good work!
