Got my oil pencils and also got some satin lacquer to apply after coloring.
Here was my first attempt with using those oil pencils. They are quite nice to work with. Didn't do much blending at all on this one but that will come with time and practice.

Before just burned and then after with coloring added.

Hi William--that really adds interest to the burning. I am trying color on a piece I did, hope it turns out as good as yours. Keep on burning.

I just used the pencils dry as is so far.
I was chicken to try shading and blending colors with a Q-Tip and mineral spirits like I have heard that some do.
Maybe I will practice that on a scrap or on a smaller test burning first.
