Let's rethink what alcohol markers can do.
Join me, illustrator and art instructor, Amy Shulke as I share my process for coloring a photorealistic red Christmas ornament with Copic Markers and Holbein Colored Pencils. Let me show you what's possible when you stop focusing on blending techniques and blending combinations and start coloring like an artist.
Too many people learn beginner marker coloring techniques and then stagnate, using the same beginner level techniques for decades. If you're growing bored with coloring books and digital stamps, if you're wondering why your coloring always looks cartoonish, or if you've always wanted to do more than just color, let me show you the world beyond blending. Marker painting is a fine arts approach to coloring and it's very different than the average coloring class.
Note: This video is not a step by step tutorial. This is not a coloring lesson. Instead, I'm sharing the thought process behind artistic coloring. The coloring supplies you already own have enormous potential when you learn to use them for more than trendy novelty techniques.
