Holbein Colored Pencil Blender, Meltz, 35 ml Squeeze Bottle (OP850), 1.18 fl oz

This Holbein liquid blender for colored pencils is wonderful! Up until trying it, I used only blender pencils, and depending on the size of my coloring image, I might go thru an entire pencil, or more, getting the colors blended. At $3+ per blender pencil, not very cost efficient.This Meltz really goes a long way, just a couple of drops can literally blend a whole picture, so don't be put off by the small bottle size.I've used it on Prismas, Polychromos, Derwent metalics, Gold Horse, Qili brand pencils and it works great on all of them. A couple times I've blended first with a pencil and then gone over some areas with the Meltz for a smoothed out finish.Only thing I suggest is stay away from using brushes to apply. You'll saturate your paper unnecessarily and lose fine control. Instead use a make-up fine point q-tip. I found some on Amazon that are bamboo, so I'm not worried about a cardboard core wicking the solution away. A couple drops on a precise swab goes a lonnng way! And there is absolutely no odor!

Very amazing product, it was my first time using it as per a recommendation of one of my art professors and it was actually very easy to use. although it’s a small bottle, a little goes a long way so it’s definitely worth the money. all you really need is colored pencils (I recommend prismacolor) and a small paint brush and a little bit of patience.

I was surprised how well this works… I am able to blend my colors without using very much of this. my drawings look more real now. It’s made my hobby so much more fun

It's a great product but the amount in the bottle size is just way too small for this price it needs to be at least double this and add a couple more dollars would be more reasonable and you could use it much more for longer it would be a shame to have to buy this every single time this tiny bottle runs out

This works great! Blends the colors, and allows them to cover any dips in the surface.Can give colored pencils the look of watercolor, or paint.I am a novice, and not finished with this yet, but will upload an example.Use sparingly, to avoid blurring sharp lines and edges.Amazing effects and quality!

Holbein Meltz solution is capable of blending out coloured pencils but is also capable of blending out water-soluble media, as well. I put the Meltz solution into an empty Copic Sketch marker and use it as a blender for coloured pencils as well as water-colour pencils and even Neocolor II crayons. The Sketch body is refillable and the Copic nibs are replaceable if they get too worn. It's the perfect environmentally-friendly solution - no plastic pens to throw out when they're empty or when the nib is worn.Love Holbein Meltz solution!

I have a set of Holbein pencils but I tried to use this on my Caran D’Ache set too and it doesn’t work. I prefer Holbein pencils anyways. But I like how this blends things out.

This is fantastic. Would recommend this to anyone. This is much better than a blender marker because you can constantly use new qtips, cotton, sponge etc for every color rather than using a blender marker which you have to clean before switching colors. Will be buying again

As a liquid colour blender it is effective. But it takes a long time to dry. Hence one needs to be careful of quantity used for blending.

他メーカーの色鉛筆にも使えました。30ml いがいと少量でどういう時に使ったらいいか迷っています。ホルベインの色鉛筆以外もつかえることがわかったのでよかったです。

Buen producto

It works well with coloring pencils. Blends well. With Hobien pencils. Overall a good product.

Expensive but works great only need small amount
