Color Theory for Alcohol Markers: Blue Flower Demo

Do your blue B Copic Marker blending combinations look flat and fake? Let's use color theory to shade realistic forget-me-nots 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 blue markers. Blue is a challenge to shade naturally because even though they make a ton of blue markers, they don't make shady blue markers! 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 blue with pinkish-purple Copic Markers and Prismacolor pencils. If you’ve ever been disappointed by your blue blending combinations or if you're still using dark blue or even gray markers to shade delicate light blue, this series of videos will change how you color florals forever.
