ZEST - IT Pencil Blend 250 ml, TZP250

Absolutely fantastic product for blending and smoothing coloured pencils. Use personally with Derwent Procolour (wax-based) and Faber-Castell Polychromos (oil-based) and highly recommend ANNIEGETCHA's recommendation on her for using it within a water brush, so convenient and effective!

So I used this in my sketch book which isnt the best paper for colour pencil or solvents but it is what I use to test most products as I hate ruining good paper feels like a wast. That said I really liked the result I was able to get more layers of colour down and increase the saturation of the the colours there is still a little grain to the piece this is wholly down to the paper. Also a tip if you haven't used solvents before less is more honestly. I don't dip my brush in the solvent directly I tip the container to one side and mop up residue from where the solvent used to be. Some people I have seen dip the brush then dry the brush with cloth not tissue and then wait for the brush to dry a little before using again seems like a waste but it works. All in all smells nice works great even on my test piece.

Works really well and smells pleasant too. Used it with coloured pencils, graphite and for underpainting with soft pastels - recommended

This is much better to use than the other mineral spirits I was using, much more pleasant with its citrus smell. It blends the wax based pencils much more evenly and dries quite fast allowing other layers to be applied and blended. Good value and economical.

Nice pencil blend, smell is pleasant too. Is good to test in different papers. Delivery was excellent.

Great for blending coloured pencils. Works quickly and effectively but best to practice first. You only need a little, I use cotton buds but cotton wool pads, or even tissue would work as well it’s interesting to see how the colours react when blended in this way.

This is the first solvent I've tried, and I really love it. I use it sparingly over each layer of coloured pencil I lay down to blend it out and fill in all the gaps in the paper without destroying the tooth. The results are amazing and really elevate my drawings with no extra effort, and it completely boosts up the vibrancy of all the colours. 250ml is more than enough, I can't imagine getting through the whole bottle anytime within the next year. It doesn't leave any marks when dry, but has a very strong smell (as does any solvent) however I think this is supposed to smell nicer than other solvents on the market.

Very good for Faber Castell polychromos as the solvent allows you to produce a good see through wash when used correctly. It is also good for blending pencil strokes together rather than having to use a labour intensive blender pencil. Accidental spills on Bristol Board, my paper of choice, dry without leaving any mark.

Doet wat het moet doen, 1 ster minder omdat het ondanks de sinaasappel geur toevoeging nog steeds vreselijk ruikt. Maar nu ben ik wel zwaar gevoelig voor geur dus wellicht hebben anderen er geen probleem mee.

El paquete llegó perfectamente y sin ningún problema. Es Muy buen producto para mezclar lápices de colores, pero es demasiado caro para lo que es. He probado diluyente de otras marcas que valen dos euros y hacen lo mismo. Este tiene un olor a cítrico un poco fuerte, otros no tienen olor. Lo bueno es que con el olor sabes dónde hay y de lo que te tienes que separar para no dañarte. Hay que tener cuidado al usarlo porque es un producto fuerte y es mejor que no se huela mucho. Si te ha ayudado mi comentario, dale a ÚTIL. Muchas gracias!

Sehr gut um größere Flächen zu blenden. Funktioniert mit öl und wachsbasierten Malmedien. Es riecht angenehm und lässt sich am besten mit einem Pinsel bearbeiten. Trocknet schnell und rückstandlos . Kann nach dem trocknen weiterbearbeitet werden. Zest it kann auch sehr gut unter der Farbe gelegt werden. Das lässt die Farben leicht und weich vermalen. Bisher mit Koh-i-noor Polycolor und Ölpastellkreiden verwendet. Ich bin mit den Ergebnissen zufrieden.

n a pas trop répondu à mes attentes

I am so glad I came across it. I have heard about it various youtube colorist and artist. I wanted to try it i was afraid of gamsol so gave it away due to My asthma and my cat getting into it cause it's odorless. At least this i know he hates he hates orange anyhow. I love how beautiful it blends my colored pencils and how much more vibrant my drawings look and my coloring pages when i am done.. It comes from jacksons where i got it and it was worth the wait to get such a lovely product for art and coloring. I would recommend this over that other. if you like cirtus smells like orange cleaners get this if not i believe they make a odorless zest it as well . To me it has a very pleasant and refreshing odor and pleasant to work with without all those worries.
