You don’t need a new Copic Marker or colored pencil class for everything you want to color. Good techniques add up! Color beautiful roses using techniques from a beginner Vanilla Arts class on complementary underpainting plus an advanced petal sculpting class. Combine your classes for amazing realism.

Color Amazing Projects Without a Specialized Class

It would be impossible to create a Copic Marker or colored pencil class for everything everyone wants to color.

Even if I devoted all my time to producing classes, 24 hours a day, non-stop, I still couldn’t teach a specific class on everything you want to learn to color.

The good news is that you don’t need a dedicated class to color this mile high sandwich full of tasty treats.

You can use techniques borrowed from other Vanilla Arts classes to color this beautiful rose

You can color this blossom, your own rose drawing, or any other complex floral stamp you encounter.

Good technique isn’t just good for one project.

Good technique is good for a lifetime of coloring!

Borrow & Combine Techniques to Create Original Coloring Projects

Make the most out of every coloring class you take!

To color this realistic line art with Copic and colored pencils, I used techniques from two Vanilla Arts classes:

Rosie Gets the Blues + Peach Rose = a rose blossom kissed by the sun

In the Rosie Gets the Blues online workshop, students learn to develop realistic depth in using complementary colors to automatically create the ideal shade color. Stop debating which dark red marker to use and let the markers decide!

In the Peach Rose online workshop, we explore advanced petal sculpting to create blossoms which leap off the page with life and dimension. It’s not about the blending combination, it’s the magic of underpainting and overpainting.

Floribunda is an original artist-grade line drawing from Amy’s shop at Sketch-Garden.com. Ditch the cute digi stamps for line art which you can color to match your style and taste. Perfect for Copic Markers, colored pencil, or watercolor.

Beautiful Botanicals

We’ve got a garden full of sketches for you to color

Sketch Garden: Realistic line art for budding artists

Digital stamps are fun but they lock your project into the style of the original stamp artist. Sure, you colored it but the project never fully reflects your taste and personality.

Artist-grade line art for your unique artistic interpretation

Sketch Garden line art doesn’t come to life until you add a healthy dose of YOU. We give you accurate details and wide open spaces but we’re leaving the artistry up to you.

Perfect for any style of coloring from photo-realistic to wild & loose expressionism. Ideal for Copic marker, colored pencil, pastel, watercolor, and especially mixed media.

Stop coloring other people’s art and share what’s in your heart.
