Dove Blender Refillable Pen,
Replacement Tips & Blender Medium
The Dove Blender Pen is a revolutionary new blending medium, specially formulated
to make "floating " or blending color easier. It enables a person to blend
several hues together, giving one more variation with their mediums. The Dove Blender
will allow one to achieve more variation without using many colors. It works with
all water based markers, watercolor pencils, watercolor paints, chalks, embossing
powders, dye pads, and pigment pads. The blender never has to be replaced, it is
easily refillable and the nibs are replaceable. But most important the Dove Blending
Fluid will make your work permanent when it is allowed to dry.
Refill package contains 20 tips.
To refill your Dove Blender - Pull off the end cap on the blender pen and add a few drops to remoisten the insert.
(The first time you remove the cap, it is a little harder, so you might have to use plyers).
If your nibs are fraying from using the pen a lot, pull out the old nib and put in a new one.
Now your blender is like new again! (you can refill the pen from the nib hole, before putting in a new nib.)
Makes blending easier when painting with watercolor pencils, chalks, markers etc.

Blending Techniques on Embossed images:
With the tip of your water based markers, lay a hint of color on the actual
embossed image. The embossed lines serve as a palette, making it easier to move the
color, thus eliminating the hard line created by the marker, Working in a
circular motion and in small areas, use the Dove Blender to pull the color into the
open area of the design. When this process is completed a light application of
color will appear on the image. To prevent the color from appearing too washed out,
continue to add more color using the marker and the Dove Blender until the
desired depth of color is achieved. Start with lighter colors and then gradually add
darker colors. Limit the colors being used.
Three basic colors differing in
intensity, plus variation in value, will give life and interest to a stamped image.
Blending Techniques with Watercolor Pencils/Blending Techniques with Markers and
Helpful Blending Tips:
1. Place several short strokes of any water based marker color onto a white styrofoam plate or a plastic palette.
Using the Dove Blender, pick up the marker color with the tip and apply it to the stamped image.
2. Some paper requires The Dove Blender to prep the area first before applying color. Simply take your blender with no color on it
and 'color' the desired area. Then take your Blender with color to the desired area. After prepping the area you can
apply various marker colors to blend directly onto the card.
3. Before changing colors, wipe the blender clean on a scrap piece of paper. Be careful not to pick up too much color. If there is to much
simply wipe the blender tip on a scrap paper before coloring the image. The tip may look discolored, but
if you rub the tip on
scrap paper and it is clear, then it is clean.
4. When working with an intense color, take the Dove Blender right to the tip of the marker to lighten. By touching the tip of the
marker with the Blender, the marker color has transferred to the blender tip will be lighter in value.
5. For a realistic blended look, layer color on top of color. For example start with a marker color of light purple and then add a darker
purple or blend colors on a palette, then apply to your image.
Blending Techniques with Watercolor Pencils and Chalks
1. When using watercolor pencils, take the color you are going to use and make a palette by scribbling a little of each color
on a scrap piece of paper with all the colors. Then take your Dove Blender and pick up the color and apply to your
image. Hint - start with lighter colors first. When you are done there is no fixative needed because the blending medium
in the pen does it for you.
2. When using Chalks you can apply a little to the area you are coloring, or use an applicator and use the Dove Blender tip to pick up
the color, then apply to the image. You also can take the blender tip right to the chalk color. When you are done there is
no fixative needed because the blending medium in the pen does it for you.
2. When using watercolor paint take the Dove Blender or a brush with the Dove Blending Fluid directly to the color or use a palette,
and then pick up the color, and start coloring your image. When you are done coloring, the blending medium in the pen or the
blending fluid on the brush will make your work permanent when it is allowed to dry.
4. When the Dove Blender becomes dry, simply pull the end cap off and add several drops of the Dove Blending Fluid in the pen. Be sure
you only add drops, not fill the the pen to the top.
5. When the Dove Blender tip becomes frayed, simply pull the nib out and replace it with a new one. Hint moisten the nib with some
blending fluid so you can start coloring right away.
