Top Ten Tips on using Derwent Professional White Paper Stump Pencils:

• • Choose the right stump size for your needs; larger stumps for broad areas, smaller for fine details.
• • Use a gentle touch to blend graphite or charcoal, building up gradually to avoid over-smudging.
• • Clean the stump regularly by rubbing it on a scrap piece of paper or sandpaper to maintain its effectiveness.
• • Experiment with different pressures and angles to achieve various textures and shades.
• • Hold the stump like a pencil for precise control, especially when working on detailed areas.
• • Use the pointed end for fine lines and the side for broader strokes to maximize versatility.
• • Combine stumps with other blending tools, like tortillons or brushes, for diverse effects.
• • Practice on scrap paper to become familiar with the stump's capabilities and limitations.
• • Store stumps in a dry, clean environment to keep them in optimal condition.
• • Apply fixative spray on your artwork to prevent smudging after using the stumps for blending.
