Do you collect marker clending combination recipes? Uh oh, you could be setting yourself up for realism issues.
Today, I share why I never use pre-made marker blends.
Strawberry Tea - a Challenge Level Mixed Media Project (Copic Marker, Colored Pencil)
Realism using color Runs
Coloring high shine objects like strawberries can be difficult. Using color runs can help achieve that realistic shine.
In this intermediate mixed media project you can follow Amy’s step by step strawberry process photos to color beautiful, realistic strawberries. This process can also be used for any berry.
Vanilla Arts Stamps feature wide open areas with minimal texture marks. This makes them suitable for colored pencil, alcohol markers, watercolor... get creative and get coloring!
Coloring Vibrant Reds Without Pink (A Copic & Prismacolor Coloring Project)
Bold Red using pink? No!
Too many Copic instructors feed students the same old recipe for coloring reds. It always makes me scratch my head, how do you expect to color bold red images using pink markers?Let me say this loud and clear: Pink is not, Not, NOT light red!!!!Red is red and as soon as you introduce a pink marker to the mix, you kill your reds!So how do you color red that remains red?
