Color Amazing Projects Without a Specialized Class
It would be impossible to create a Copic Marker or colored pencil class for everything everyone wants to color.
Even if I devoted all my time to producing classes, 24 hours a day, non-stop, I still couldn’t please everyone.
The good news is that you don’t need a dedicated class to color this realistic strawberry illustration.
You can use techniques borrowed from other Vanilla Arts classes to mouthwatering strawberries
You can color these strawberries, your own strawberry drawing, or any other strawberry stamp you encounter.
Good technique isn’t just good for one project.
Good technique is good for a lifetime of coloring!
Borrow & Combine Techniques to Create Original Coloring Projects
Make the most out of every coloring class you take!
To color this realistic line art with Copic and colored pencils, I used techniques from two Vanilla Arts classes:
Cup of Columbine + Strawberry Trio = a heaping cup of ripe tasty strawberries in a sweet still life
In the Cup of Columbine online workshop, students learn to add life and interest to sedate color palettes which lean heavily on neutral colors. Bonus lesson on color sculpting realistic china cups.
In Strawberry Trio from week 12 of Marker Painting Foundations, students learn how to replicate details like sunken seeds and juicy fruit interiors for photorealism with Copic Markers and colored pencils.
Strawberry Tea is an original digital stamp from Amy Shulke here at VanillaArts.com. Amy’s stamps are full of wide open spaces and no texture marks, allowing your coloring to shine though with realism and artistry.
