Lucky Shamrock

March 11, 2025

In this TidBit, I’m using Prismacolor colored pencils, Gamsol (also known as mineral spirits), and a paper stump—cleaned and sharpened on a sandpaper paddle—to blend the colors smoothly.

Drawing a shamrock is wonderfully simple. I’m using three different shades of green and blending them together with Gamsol and the paper stump to create soft transitions and depth.

This is a fun TidBit—and one that just might make you smile while you’re creating.
