With the use of many very kin donations is able to get the Icarus Art Board. If you are a colored pencil artist, pastel artist this tool might be for you. Here is a 2 questions about materials

What types of colored pencils are recommended?
Only colored pencils with very specific characteristics respond to heat: 

• they must be wax-based
• they must contain enough wax to be considered soft
• their wax needs to be thoroughly mixed with the pigment during manufacturing

(Sometimes colored pencil leads are extruded first and then immersed in molten wax. When these colored pencils are exposed to heat, their leads crumble as soon as the outer layer of wax melts).

Will all types of wax crayons or wax pastels work on it?
Only artist grade wax crayons/pastels are recommended.

This will give you some ideas about medium that can be used. Since it is using heart to manipulate your medium you don't have the chemicals in your studio. I also ordered a few pencils do i will set up the webcam and give you a look see. God bless and much love to all.
