Vanilla Undercover: Underpaint with Copic Markers for Beautiful Realism - Lovely Pink
Let’s “deepen” our color…
Add dimension and realism by underpainting with Copic Markers! Use B32 underneath your RV blending combination to deepen your pinks. Vanilla Arts Company teaches Online Workshops and Livestream Coloring Challenges using the underpainting method. Students learn to layer colors realistically rather than blend.
Underpainting creates natural colors found in everyday life.
Lovely Pink
If you want to color something pink, stop looking through your R markers for that perfect color. Instead, do what I do, use your RV markers! That’s right. The combination of the R and V families in one marker create lovely pink colors all on their own, but when you underpaint with the B marker, you now have three color families combining to create a deeper pink!
The results may scare you at first. You might even think you’ve ruined your lovely pink flower! Don’t worry, as long as you use a good coat of the second (R32) and third (RV11) markers you will be fine. Give the Copic ink time to blend.
Remember, it’s always good practice to swatch your colors. It’s a great warm up for your coloring session and builds color confidence.
