How to Conceal Mistakes When Using Color Pencil

Sometimes when you buy your paper you don't notice that the surface has scratch marks or indents. Or in my case, I have a cat who likes to jump on-top of my artwork and he sometimes leaves marks on my paper. Here are a few tips to help out in concealing or hiding these kinds of marks on the surface of your paper.

• Barbara Newton's wonderful tip on how to conceal a scratch mark or indent on your drawing: apply a little color over the area, then blend the color into the area with a colorless blender marker or pen and then add some more color till the mark is no longer visible.

• To help hide a stain on your drawing: try using a color similar to the stain color or use an opaque medium such as white or cream to cover it.

• If your paper is white, try using a small amount of bleach or adhesive remover with a q-tip.
