Nesting Basket is a digital stamp plus artistic coloring kit featuring Amy Shulke’s original line art.

What is artistic coloring?

Artistic coloring is the step beyond standard color blending with alcohol markers. Instead of using trendy techniques, Amy’s students learn to use photo references to guide color choices and incorporate realistic, lifelike texture. We paint with markers and pencils.

This Nesting Basket Artistic Coloring Kit was originally part of The Underpainters membership community in January 2023. As part of the advanced independent coloring group, each month, students receive a new challenge image plus a guidebook full of helpful learning aids, annotated photo references, and process pics. Students then challenge themselves to complete the image assignment independently using a medium and colors of their choice.

This package includes all the original materials given to The Underpainters. Sorry, this package does not include project feedback from Amy; critiques are exclusive to community members.

Nesting Basket is ideal for coloring with Copic or other alcohol marker, colored pencil, or watercolor.

Nesting Basket was introduced as a project in or independent advanced community, The Underpainters . Members have access to a monthly image like this, a monthly livestream, plus a year’s worth of Q&A recorded livestreams. To subscribe visit: https://www.vanillaarts.com/underpainters
