Do your Red R Copic Marker blending combinations look overly dark and yet oddly flat? Let's use color theory to shade a realistic rosebud using an unexpected combination of aqua and purple.
Applied Color Theory for Alcohol Markers.
Join illustrator and art instructor, Amy Shulke from VanillaArts.com in a color theory exercise for red markers. The human brain doesn't read red with the same accuracy we see other colors, so when we combine our assumptions with only a small range of red markers, it's no wonder people shade red in extreme ways. Color theory can help us make better shade selections-- but if all you ever hear about is the color wheel, you're missing the heart of color theory. Amy walks you through her coloring process for desaturating red Copic Markers and Prismacolor pencils. If you’ve ever been disappointed by your red blending combinations or if you're using deep purple or even brown markers to shade red, this series of videos will change the way you approach coloring red objects forever.
