Let's get into this card shall we?
So in the set you get 10 markers which are a rainbow of colors. They match the Altenew inks which is amazing because you know those colors are beautiful. They are super vibrant and pretty user friendly.
I stamped my flowers and first tried the markers with water. I stamped my flowers and leaves on watercolor paper then I scribbled down the two blues and the purple around the flowers. I added water with a paintbrush and they blended out super easy.
Then I went back in and tried to add more shading...
Guys this is such a big deal.
Wait for it.
I could add more color from the brush while it was wet.
WHILE IT WAS WET!
I own both the Arteza markers and the Zig Clean Colors and neither one of them let you go back in while it's wet. I always have to scribble on an acrylic block and add it in with a paintbrush. These worked awesome!! Once my background was dry I did spatter on some water to see how the color picked up. It wasn't a sharp contrast but you could definitely see the "bleach" spots.
Next I used the pens to blend with each other on my flowers. No water added. You know I have to try all the things :)
It was really easy to blend them together even straight from the marker. I did have to go over the yellow/orange at least twice but after that they blended really nicely. A few white dots finished the flowers off. I love how vibrant the colors are!

ReplyDeleteI appreciate how many different techniques you tried in this card; it's so helpful to see that and know what a product can and can't do. Also, having someone else make mistakes so I don't have to is a nice bonus. I admit, I made a sharp inhale when that green went down, but, true to form, you managed to make it work. Nolus restartaem! Thanks for sharing with us.
