Supply list and project resources for “Marker Makeover: White Daisy” below
ARE YOUR WHITE FLOWERS FLAT?
You’re not alone.
I’ve heard the same story from so many colorists— people who stumble upon my marker and colored pencil classes when they’re frustrated, almost to the point of quitting.
We blame ourselves when our coloring doesn’t look as amazing as the tutorial.
But hang on a minute—
If hundreds of people are all having the same problems with depth and dimension…
Is it really you?
Or is it the tutorials?
IN TODAY’S VIDEO…
We discuss the problem with white blending combinations and white flower tips & tuts.
I’m a professional illustrator and art instructor, teaching is my business— many popular white flower tutorials are doomed to fail.
Your coloring skills are not the problem.
Let’s look at why white flower projects look flat.

COLOR WHITE FLOWERS
LIKE AN ARTIST
Let’s get real about popular coloring advice—
To color a white flower, someone tells you which grays to use and where to use them.
When it doesn’t look amazing, you figure you missed something in the directions.
Or maybe you need better grays?
Pssttt… this is how you ended up with 20 gray markers you never use.
STOP.
There’s a better answer.
Let’s try the artist’s method for coloring white flowers and other white objects.
Good coloring happens between your ears - it's not about your hands
When you’ve tried all the tutorials…
Watched every video,
Read every blog,
And you find yourself haunting dark corners of the internet, searching for better advice,
Friends, easy coloring has a limit. Marker blending has a look to it. Kinda plastic, sorta cartoonish, definitely fake.
You can keep rearranging the furniture— different blends, different step-by-steps…
What you really need to change is how you think about coloring.
Let’s learn to think like an artist.
That’s what I’m here for— I teach the art beyond basic blending
