THE DEEP END OF COLORING
You found me on YouTube.
But here’s the stuff I can’t explain in a 12 minute video.
Every Saturday, Vanilla Beans delivers a fresh deep-dive on color theory, realism, artistic mindset, and all the weird little coloring myths nobody else seems to notice.
Less “here’s a color combo.”
More “here’s why yellow keeps smacking you in the face.”
If you enjoy my rebellious approach to coloring education, you’ll love Beans.

BEGINNER COLORING WITH AMY
LIGHT IT UP!
I’m a total sucker for glass and reflections.
I was replacing lightbulbs on my mother’s vintage wreath and I got distracted by the distorted reflections in the bulbs. I also noticed weird temperature shifts, making the green glass almost blue in spots.
I had to draw this amazing color magic… and if I’m marker sketching for me, you know I’m definitely gonna share it with you, right?
