Our Artist in Residence answers your questions
Q: Natalie asks: "Ink blending question: will it ever dry? It's still coming off on my hands after 2 hours. It's premium dye ink on cardstock."
A: Some dye inks are formulated to dry slowly, for blending and water-reactive effects. You can help the process along with a quick heat set. I always seem to warp cardstock with a heat gun despite my best efforts, so I'd recommend setting with an iron. Lay a paper towel or parchment paper over the cardstock, and then run a hot, dry iron over it for 30 seconds or so.

Feedback From Past Tutorials
Deborah has a great tip for Watercoloring with Watercolor Pencils and Aqua Painter®: "When I watercolour with my watercolour pencils, I take the colour right off the pencil and onto a very small brush - say a 0 or a 1 sized brush. I find this to be a much more controlled method of watercolouring for me. I can control the flow of water much more easily, and the depth of colour - as well as making it much easier to stay within the lines."
