Baby oil with Prisma pencils?

[scrappinpurplefrog]

While I was looking through the threads researching copic markers I saw someone mention using baby oil with prisma pencils instead of mineral spirits. Can someone pleasee tell me how to do this? I recently moved and had to leave my spirits behind and am having trouble finding them here and cannot have them shipped (already tried that). Please help a girl out!

Get some baby oil gel at the grocery store. Use it the same way you did the mineral spirits.

I prefer the spirits but will use either one depending on my mood.

I use just plain baby oil
1. Because it was easy to get.
2. I am chemically sensitive to the spirits.
3. It works really well for me.

Definately don't use the creamy type (only type I had on hand & it didn't work well at all). I broke down & bought Gamsol ~ so I haven't gotten either the plain oil or gel ~ Good luck ~

I bought my gamsol at www.misterart.com.

I did a tutorial on my blog for this very thing! It's even my last post, so it's right on top It's so fun and easy!

I discovered this technique not long ago and love it. I have found that the Georgia Pacific paper works wonderfully. Some paper absorbs too much of the oil and the colors get muddy. The blending stubs from China worked the best and held up the longest in comparison to my other blenders. Have fun!
