Good technique works for more than just one coloring class. To color mittens, a scarf, and hat with Copic Markers and colored pencils, I combined my intermediate texture lesson with my intermediate pointillism lesson. Together, easy techniques add up to advanced realistic and artistic coloring.

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 please everyone.

The good news is that you don’t need a dedicated class to color this realistic advanced level winter scene.

You can use techniques borrowed from other Vanilla Arts classes to color warm woolen mittens.

You can color these mittens, your own mitten drawing, or any other mitten 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 cute little image with Copic and colored pencils, I used techniques from two Vanilla Arts classes.

Pewter & Snow + Tulips & Ribbon = a realistic winter still life scene

In the Pewter & Snow coloring workshop, students learn to look at ordinary objects and duplicate the textures they see. Make your own techniques! This is an intermediate level lesson.

The pointillism background we create in the Tulips & Ribbon coloring workshop is perfect to create nubbly texture on this top hat and the lumps of coal in this image. This is an intermediate level lesson.

Snowman Supplies is an original digital stamp from Amy Shulke here at VanillaArts.com. Amy’s stamps are full of wide open spaces and no texture marks, allowing your coloring to shine though with realism and artistry.
