How to Create Original Color Palettes - Marker, Pencil, Watercolor
CREATE YOUR OWN COLOR PALETTES
Which part of coloring do you struggle with most?
When I ask this question, I get the same answer from students and subscribers at every skill level.
What’s your greatest weakness?
Choosing colors.
And here’s the thing, when students say “choosing colors” I don’t think they mean choosing markers or pencils for blending combinations.
They mean choosing colors for color palettes.
So let’s do it.
Let’s talk about how color palettes are created.
And before the end of today’s video we’ll make several color palettes, completely from scratch.

Deck the halls or just do some Christmas coloring.
I love Christmas ornaments but I’m a little weird because I love the round glass and glitter baubles most people treat as filler. I love the warped, upside down, and unexpected reflections in their surface and that stuff is super fun to color!
