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 “Vibrant Red”, the project where you can color red that remains red.

Let’s color Vibrant Red!

Join us for a fun Copic + Colored Pencil project.

Poppy Gems is a stunning stamp image from Penny Black. Now you can color it Vanilla style!

Practice your Underpainting to Create Vibrant color.

Can you color vibrant, bold red poppies without resorting to using pink?

Amy teaches monthly Beginner Copic + Pencil classes at her favorite papercrafting store Remember When in Macomb, Michigan. These Copic Club announcements are often torture for online students because CC is a class that can’t be taught online.

By popular demand, we’re making Copic Club class packs available in the Stamp Shop as a PDF packet download.

Packet Includes: PDF Recipe Guide, Photo Reference, Underpainting Guide, Color Map, Marker Only Sample, Full Color Project Sample, Process Collage

PURCHASE DOES NOT INCLUDE PROJECT STAMP.

Poppy Gems cling stamp is available for purchase using the shopping list found below.

‘Vibrant Reds’ is part of the Great 42 Marker challenge

A list of 42 markers that I developed especially for beginners.

I’ve 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 you’re taking one of my online workshops, my classes each call for a different selection of markers.
