Vanilla Undercover: Underpaint with Copic Markers for Beautiful Realism - Succulent Violet
Let’s “warm” up our color…
Add dimension and realism by underpainting with Copic Markers! Use R02 underneath your BV blending combination to add warmth to a cool blue violet. Vanilla Arts Company teaches Online Workshops using the underpainting method. Students learn to layer colors realistically rather than blend.
Underpainting creates natural colors found in everyday life.
Succulent Violet
Don’t be afraid to underpaint with your R marker!
It’s always good practice to swatch your colors. It’s a great warm up for your coloring session and builds color confidence.
R02 does well under BV04 even though the R marker is a lower value than the BV marker. Because the R marker has a high level of colorless blender in it, that red ink will will delicately disappear while leaving a reddish undertone to this violet combination.
