Be Aware Of Wax Blooms While Using Colored Pencils For Drawing

Before we tell you how to prevent wax blooming, let us tell us what this term means…
Coloured pencils are made out of two different types of binders – oil based, and wax based. They are used to hold the pigments together. The wax-based binders are less expensive and can help an artist to add multiple layers into the drawing and that is why most manufacturers and artists prefer this binding method as well.

Now, when you use the wax-based binding as your colour pencil, there may be chances that there is wax built up at certain layers of your drawing. This is also called efflorescence, where a thick layer of wax is built upon the same area of the drawing. This may happen when the artist inserts a lot of pressure on the colour pencil, or there is oxidation of the wax, causing a wax blooming.

How To Identify A Wax Bloom?

When you observe that a certain area of your drawing has a strange film like thing (usually white in colour), appearing over a darkly pigmented area, then that is referred to as wax bloom. It can also cause that particular area to appear grey, which might make the drawing look odd.

How To Avoid Wax Blooming?

While there are several ways to get rid of this situation, the most common ones are stated below…
Take a cotton swab and gently rub it over the affected area. If you do not seem to find cotton on the go, you can also use a neat tissue or cloth for the purpose. Ensure you are not going to hard on the rubbing as it may disintegrate the other original colours.

You can have external heat applied to it – you can do this by getting a hair dryer on the affected area or bringing a candle near it. It will melt up the extra wax.
