Do your pink RV Copic Marker blending combinations look flat and fake? Let's use color theory to shade a realistic dogwood blossom using an unexpected green marker.
Applied Color Theory for Alcohol Markers.
Join illustrator and art instructor, Amy Shulke from VanillaArts.com in a color theory exercise for pink markers. Everyone loves pink but it's a challenge to shade pink with the bold bright dark pinks offered by marker companies. Color theory can help but most color theory videos are nothing more than color wheel tours. Amy walks you through her coloring process for desaturating pink with green Copic Markers and Prismacolor pencils. If you’ve ever been disappointed by your magenta blending combinations or if you're still using red or purple markers to shade pink, this series of videos will change how you color florals forever.
