Vanilla Undercover: Underpainting with Copic Markers for Beautiful Realism - Canary Song

 
Underpaint with Copic Markers! Try coloring with V01 underneath your yellow blending combination to simulate beautiful canary shade. | VanillaArts.com | #copicmarker #realisticcoloring #underpainting
 
 

Underpainting the Y13 marker with V01 mimics this dingy shade color perfectly!

Always remember: real shade is not darker color, shade is desaturated color.

To create the desaturated colors that Copic does not make, Vanilla Arts Company teaches Online Workshops and Livestream Coloring challenges using the underpainting method. Students learn to layer colors realistically rather than using standardized blending combos.

Underpainting creates natural colors found in everyday life!

 

Copic - Canary song

Underpaint Y13 with V01 to successfully capture the murky yellow seen in the deepest shade of these canaries. This pushes back the dark areas and allows the brighter yellow expanses to pop forward. The gorgeous, lifelike dimension that results will have you expecting that canary to burst into song any second!.
