Use What You Learn: Color a Rustic Farmhouse Door with Copic Marker & Colored Pencil
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 rustic farmhouse door using concepts from a class on red berries plus a class on antique wood grain. 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 winter scene.
You can use techniques borrowed from other Vanilla Arts classes to color rustic farmhouse door
You can color this holiday door, draw your own door, or color any other door or window stamp you encounter.
Good technique isn’t just good for one project.
Good technique is good for a lifetime of coloring!

To color this realistic line art with Copic and colored pencils, I used techniques from two Vanilla Arts classes:
Blackberry Bramble + Rustic Maple Leaf = a rustic farmhouse door decorated for Christmas
In the Blackberry Bramble online workshop, students learn to color small details on a complex composition stamp with realistic dimension. Bonus lesson on adding accurate details to a stamp and which details should be edited out.
In the Rustic Maple Leaf online workshop, students explore how to use deeper underpaint colors and dark values of shade to create a photorealistic leaf with touchable dimension. Bonus lesson on free-form wood grain.
Welcome Home is an original artistic coloring kit from VanillaArts.com. Amy’s line art is drawn with wide open spaces and no artsy scribble marks. Let your artistry shine rather than the stamp. Perfect for Copic Markers, colored pencil, or watercolor.
