The SAD truth about alcohol markers (that no one talks about)

Alcohol markers are really fun to make art with, until you realize there’s a HUGE downside… 😳 

But don’t despair! Find out how to overcome the biggest issue with using alcohol markers, so that you can enjoy them to the fullest. 💖

NOTE: The swatches shown at 00:42 are the most extreme examples of how much colors can fade or shift. Don't worry, most colors won't change this much over 2.5 years! The swatches were never kept in direct sunlight; they were only exposed to a moderate amount of ambient indoor lighting as I periodically used the color chart in my art room. 😊
