Do your violet Copic Marker blending combinations look flat and artificial? Do you shade violet or purple flowers with more purple markers? For more realism, let's use color theory to shade a realistic bearded iris using an unexpected combination of green and gold.
Applied Color Theory for Alcohol Markers.
Join illustrator and art instructor, Amy Shulke from VanillaArts.com in a color theory exercise for violet and purple V markers. The Copic V family is very small, so choosing the right shade color can be tricky Color theory can help but if all you ever hear about is the color wheel, you're missing the real story. Amy walks you through her coloring process for desaturating purple and violet Copic Markers and Prismacolor pencils. If you’ve ever been disappointed by your violet blends or if you're using dark blue or even gray markers to shade violet and purple, this series of videos will change the way you approach coloring forever.
This exercise is for marker selection-- this is not a coloring or blending tutorial. Color selection is a struggle for most colorers and is not taught in classes which use a specific marker supply list. Seeing a professional artist in action, picking colors and explaining why colors work/fail can be very helpful in developing your own artistry.
