Vanilla Undercover: Underpaint with Copic Markers for Beautiful Realism - Swiss Yellow
Natural Shade for Yellow
Add dimension and realism by underpainting with Copic Markers! Use V000 underneath your Y and YR blending combinations to recess your yellows. 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.
Swiss Yellow
If you want to color something dark yellow, stop looking through your Y or YR markers for that perfect color. Instead, do what I do, grab a V marker! Why you ask? Because more Y or YR will not make a deeper, darker yellow. The combination of the Y, YR and V marker families will blend together to create that deeper, darker yellow you’re looking for!
Though the mixing of these colors may scare you at first, don’t worry! As long as you use a good coat of the second (Y13), third (YR31), and forth (YR30) 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.
