Hydrangea Shift: A Copic Color Swatch

Add blue green to a blue violet to chartreuse blending combination for depth and dimension

BG, BV, and YG Copic Markers

Real shade is not darker color, real shade is desaturated color.

To create the murky shade colors that Copic Marker does not make, Vanilla Arts Company teaches Online Workshops using the underpainting method. Students learn to layer colors realistically rather than blend.

Underpainting creates natural colors found in everyday life.
