Where do i get Sansador from??

[jo.bee]

I got mine from the local art supplies shop but they looked at me blankly when I asked for paper stumps. Glad to hear it works with watercolour pencils too as that is all I have got. Need to source some stumps now.

The small thin stumps are called tortillon

Hi
I got my bottle of Winsor & Newton Sansodor today from The Range.... seemed like a real bargain.... the shelf label said £3.99 but it went through the till at £1.99....

Hey thats cheap. Ive ordered it online now as i've been given a site that sells it and the paper stumps so looks like i'm sorted. Just need some more prismacolors now.......does it ever end? I'm supposed to be on a stash diet. oh well...............thanks everyone

Hi I just bought mine from the range for £1.99

[elaine1000]

Hobbycraft at The Fort in Glasgow sells it (that's where I got mine and I was there last week and they still had it). There's a small glass bottle - about £3 - and a larger "industrial looking" container (about £7 to £10). I've also seen it in several art shops, as others have said. I haven't heard of The Range - not sure if there is one in my area. I tried to buy it in local craft shops, but they didn't have it.

I use mine with Prismacolour pencils, which I bought in America.

You can "re-vamp" the stumps with a nail file when they're a bit worn/tired/blunt.

Pardon my ignorance, but what is sansador?

And what else can you use it for - apart from with Prismacolour pencils? Which other paints and pencils can you use it with?

[kevie192]

Am I right in saying that you can use Sansador with any colouring pencils?! Thinking of just getting a cheap set to see what effect I get!

Yes Kevin it works with all pencils except watercolours...a friend uses it on cheap pencils and gets good results...my DD likes to blend her colouring too...LOL

Kevie, just make sure the leads are not too hard, I got a cheap set of 50 and couldnt do anything with them as the leads were hard and thin and couldnt get the colour onto the paper very well, then I found a cheapo set in Llidl and they worked beautifully, they were lovely and soft, but the colours were not that bright once the sansador was used. The best ones I found were crayola blendables LOL

[hazgizz]

I use my sansador with wtercolour pencils - only a cheap set from WHS but it works fine

[Bryn]

Out of curiosity I've just tried blending watercolour pencils with Sansodour and it works great. I still prefer the look of the Prismas blended but the w/colour pencils give a good look too

I get my Sansodor and Stumps from Artifolk (Co.uk); £ 2.99 there
I saw it at £ 6.99 in hobbycraft Crawley !!!!

[kevie192]

Found some in Jarrods, Norwich today. was £3.95 and also found double-ended paper stumps which were £1.05. Anyone got any recommendations for cheap pencils for use with these? I heard someone say about some from the works but I don't remember which ones. I want to go and get some tomorrow!
