“Swamp Lily” - a Purple V Copic Marker blending combination

Add soft spring shade to a pale purple blending combination with one G Copic Marker.

Real shade is not darker color, real shade is desaturated color.

To create the murky shade colors that Copic Marker does not make, Vanilla Arts Company teaches Online Workshops using the underpainting method. Students learn to layer colors realistically rather than blend.

Underpainting creates the natural colors found in everyday life.
