You don’t need to purchase a new Copic Marker or colored pencil class for everything you want to color. Good techniques add up! Color a sweet Stampin’ Bella Valentine using concepts from a class on ribbon plus a class on soft pink.. Combine your classes for amazing depth and dimension.
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 sweet little Valentine.
You can use techniques borrowed from other Vanilla Arts classes to color flowing ribbons and ruffles
You can color this Valentine stamp, draw your own heart ribbon, or color any other stamp with folds and waves you encounter.
Good technique isn’t just good for one project.
Good technique is good for a lifetime of coloring!
“Pink Waves” is a lesson on folds and waves by the author, Amy Shulke. The rubber stamp is “Raven Loves Ribbon” by Stampin’ Bella USA. Amy colored this with Copic Markers and Prismacolor Premier Colored Pencils. The Pink Waves artistic coloring guide is available for purchase here. Club Pack does not include rubber stamp set.
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:
Tulips & Ribbon + Pretty in Pink = the perfect Valentine made with Stampin’ Bella’s “Raven Loves Ribbon” rubber stamp
In the Tulips & Ribbon beginner level online workshop, students focus on developing dimensional flowers and ribbons by shading for realism with Copic Markers. Bonus lesson on pointillism background and coloring beautiful and dynamic whites.
In the Pretty & Pink intermediate level online workshop, students learn to develop realistic shade for layers of soft pink petals with accurate folds and waves. Explore restrained shade which doesn’t overpower pale pastel palettes.
Pink Waves is a Copic Club Pack from VanillaArts.com. When Amy teaches local classes, students purchase the rubber stamp plus this kit, now you can color with Amy’s color recipes, guide to shade, and full color samples. Stamp sold separately here.
