Cave Drawings



This Artvelope was sent to me by my good friend & art pal, Dottie. I believe she used colored pencils and gamsol(odorless mineral spirits). I am so happy to own some of her artwork! Thanks Dot! Sent from...Illinois, USA

What is the gamsol used for?
I like her style.

Hey Jason...Gamsol is an odorless mineral spirit that is used to blend the colored pencils. I use a pointed Q-tip to apply the gamsol. I plan on making a short tutorial for the technique very soon. In the interim you could check out Youtube. Just type in Gamsol. You will get some cutesy scrapbooking stuff, but the basic idea is there.LOL
