Purple Alcohol Markers: You Need This Colored Pencil for Purple Success!

HOW TO COLOR PURPLE WITHOUT PURPLE MARKERS

Have you ever noticed that the V Violet family is always the smallest family in every brand of alcohol markers?

And within the V family, there are very few truly purple markers?

Remember, there’s a difference between violet and purple. Violet leans towards blue and purple leans towards magenta.

Sure, there are a few purples in the mix but we’re often given several unrelated purples which either don’t blend well together or look terrible side by side.

So how do we color beautiful purple flowers and other objects without purple markers?

In today’s video, Amy shares her approach to purple and how to create the purples that Copic, Ohuhu, and ProMarker do not make.
