You don’t need a new Copic Marker or colored pencil class for everything you want to color. Good techniques add up! Color these photorealistic macarons using concepts from an advanced Vanilla Arts class on color sculpting plus an intermediate class on folds and waves. 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 realistic box of macaron cookies.

You can use techniques borrowed from other Vanilla Arts classes to color tasty Red Macarons

You can color these macarons, your own macaron drawing, or any other cookie 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:

Jellybeans + Celebration Cupcake = a sweet box of photorealistic Red Macarons

In the Jellybeans online workshop, students learn the process of color sculpting for three dimensional forms. Stop relying on blending combinations to shade for dimension. Learn to use artist’s vision to understand shapes.

In the Celebration Cupcake online workshop, we analyze the shape of surfaces, understanding every object in terms of gentle waves or crisp folds. We’re coloring a cupcake but the lesson is applicable to everything.

Red Macaron is an original artistic coloring kit from Amy Shulke here at VanillaArts.com. Amy’s stamps are full of wide spaces and no texture marks, allowing your coloring to shine though with realism and artistry.
