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 if you want to color vibrant red without reaching for a pink marker, check out āVibrant Redā, the project where you can color red that remains red.
Letās color Vibrant Red!
Join us for a fun Copic + Colored Pencil project.

āVibrant Redsā is part of the Great 42 Marker challenge
A list of 42 markers that I developed especially for beginners.
Iāve been teaching a beginner level class for FOUR years now using the same set of 42 markers.
My Great Marker Challenge is still going strong, I continue to teach beginners with it and many of the colors are useful in my intermediate and advanced classes. You can see a whole gallery of projects using just my magic 42 here.

But remember, my Great Marker Challenge list is for independent coloring. If youāre taking one of my online workshops, my classes each call for a different selection of markers.
