Tired of basic blending?
Illustrator and art instructor, Amy Shulke shares her marker painting process, coloring a photorealistic bronze star Christmas ornament with Copic Markers and Holbein Colored Pencils. For years, we've let beginner blending techniques define what's possible with alcohol markers. Let's move beyond basic blending combinations and cartoonish projects.
If you've been using the same beginner blending technique for years and you're growing bored with coloring books and digital stamps, there's a world of artistry just waiting for you. Marker painting is a fine arts approach to coloring and it's very different than the average coloring techniques. Learn and grow as an artist rather than simply collecting more marker recipes to do the same old things.
Note: This video is not a step by step tutorial. This is not a coloring lesson. Instead, Amy shares the thought process that goes into next level artistic coloring. The coloring supplies you already own have enormous potential if you use them for more than blends.
