How to use Odorless Mineral Spirits to blend Colored Pencil - tips and techniques w/ Lachri

I'm showing you the basics to blending colored pencils with Odorless Mineral Spirits or Odorless Paint Thinner! I've got tips and techniques for colored pencil blending perfect for a beginner! This technique works on oil or wax based pencils. I'm using my Polychromos for this demonstration but I've had great results in blending Caran d'Ache Luminance, Lyra Rembrandt Polycolor and prismacolor in this way.
