Q&A: What is the difference between Blender Pens and Aquapainters?

August 16th, 2010

Many people ask me what the difference is between Aquapainters and Blender Pens.  Basically an Aquapainter is a paint brush and a Blender Pen is a clear marker and they are used for coloring line art images, or in the case in the above sample, coloring other things such as hills! 

Today I have some samples and a video showing you how to use the Aquapainters and Blender Pens

I pulled out my Sunny Garden Designer Series Paper and thought the Daffodil Delight and Tangerine Tango colors would make fabulous fall trees, and I was right!  

I used my Aquapainter dipped in Certainly Celery Ink to paint on the grass.  I’m not terribly "artsy", so I was excited at how well it came out.

This card was a bit more work than I normally put into a card, but I love the result!  This will have to go to someone special.  The small areas of these stamps make your Blender Pens a perfect choice for coloring those little sweeties in.
