I hope this video was useful to you! 😊 For even more info about markers, check out these pages on my website, where you can also find several detailed brand reviews: ▶ www.art-is-fun.com/markers ▶ www.art-is-fun.com/alcohol-marker-brands ⭐ *ULTIMATE GUIDE to Using Alcohol Markers* ⭐ www.art-is-fun.com/ultimate-guide-to-using-alcohol-markers

I personally prefer waterbased markers (ZIG brushmarker), each color is a large variety of that hue dependent on the amount of water dilution you add with a waterbrush. In my experience waterbased markers last longer a piece even when each marker stands for about 5 shades of alcohol markers, you are only diluting the available color. It makes it easy to oversee all markers in one go and takes in much less space. I use 2 types of paper: Strathmore Bristol Smooth (300 gsm) and Canson Montval watercolor paper ( 2 types 200 gsm + 300 gsm) no warping problems with 300 gsm.

This had all the main questions I had covered in place and thank you so much for the specific brand reviews too! The explanations were so easy to follow along with too

I'm pretty new to all things art related... just took up watercolor 18 months ago. Slowly but surely, I'm adding other media. This has been an excellent video...never noticed what kind of markers I've been buying and using! You are an excellent teacher... and such a talent! Thank you 😊 from a California Gramma ❤️

Thank you for this! A lot of good information. I never thought of blending water based markers with a wet brush (as long as the paper is meant for wet media). Have you used Spectrum Noir markers? That is the brand I'm currently using. SO glad you have a YT channel now 😃🥳🎉

So glad this video was helpful to you, Diane! Thank you for letting me know! 😊 If you have water-based markers, you should definitely try using a wet brush with them, because the effects can be quite beautiful. 😍 I did have a few Spectrum Noir Tri-Blend markers a few years ago, but haven't tried their other kinds of markers. They do seem like a good brand! I liked the Tri-Blends but they were kind of chunky for my small fingers, so I didn't use them much. 🤣 I tend to prefer the oval-shaped barrels because they're more comfortable for me. Thank you so much for your comment! 💖

Hi. I have really been enoying watching your videos. I found them because I searched about Posca markers. Do you ever paint with acrylics? If you do, I would love to see a vid on that subject like techniques and such. Thanks for sharing your insights and your vids are so nice and colourful! :) -Sarah

Thank you for this informative video. My niece is in her teens and loves drawing and colouring. She definitely wants to continue her passion for art so I had gotten her a colouring book she can use these types of markers to expand her skills. I am considering either alcohol or water-based markers but unsure of what would be best for her to begin using and grow from there. Any recommendations?

Glad to hear my video was helpful to you! 😃 I'd suggest asking your niece was types of markers she'd prefer. If she has favorite artists she follows on social media, she might want to use the same markers that they do. In general, alcohol markers are very popular these days, so set of inexpensive alcohol markers is probably a safe bet! 🌟

As a “professional” **cough** buyer of supplies, lol, so more a craft hobbyist/hoarder wanna-be but not a true “artist”, i still watch and research about everything cos I just love seeing people’s art hauls and find new tools I can buy, etc. so yeah, technically I did know this info, but I have still really enjoyed your video style, think you’re very natural and warm natured and so I watched the whole thing!

I was most interested in blending techniques for both markers. I am young and haven't the money for expensive markers (or supplies in general) But, I have water-based markers and was wondering if you have any videos or advice on blending better with those. It would be most appreciated.

@thaneeya

Hello! I haven't done that myself so I can't speak from experience... I don't know if the Copic nibs would fit into Ohuhu markers, because different brands often have different dimensions. Ohuhu makes their own replacement brush nibs now so you could try those (I don't know if they offer replacement fine nibs yet). Good luck with it! 😊

How much color shadw should I buy for a beginner? 48 , 60 or 120m

@thaneeya

2 күн бұрын

One factor to keep in mind is that the more colors you have, the more smooth blends you can make. So it's better to get a bigger set if you can afford it, although starting with 48 or 60 colors can still give you a good sense of what it's like to use the markers. Then later you can buy more colors if you really like using them. Hope this helps! 😃
