Blender pens, waterbrushes, and chemistry - oh my! :) | Adult Colouring

Disclaimer: All content on my channel is intended for adults.

Let's take a look at a bit of the chemistry behind "solvents" in art (hint: "solvent" may not mean what you think it means :)) and then let's test out a number of different "solvents" on a number of different media. Could there possibly be one blender pen that can be used for everything - both regular coloured pencils AND water-based pencils/media? (Spoiler: There is a strong contender - it doesn't do everything... but almost!)
