It was my first time using these markers and I tried to blend the colours directly, and it didn't turn out so well. Glad I finally figured out that priming the paper worked better 😂

This is perfect timing. I've literally just gotten into alcohol markers and bought all the Ohuhu sets. When I went in, I went in all the way. This is incredibly helpful.

I wonder if you could use a paint brush with water and get the same effect as the blender does here? Maybe even a fillable brush. It would be a fun experiment to try. I’ve used my alcohol blender over my water based tombows while the marker is still wet and it seems to work much the same as with my alcohol markers. But water would be more economical, if it works.

I really enjoyed this video! And I learned sooo much about using my colorless blender alcohol marker properly!!! This has been very helpful!!! BUT I haven’t been able to figure out the point of the blender marker using my Tombow markers. So another tutorial video would be great to watch regarding how to use my water based blender markers properly!!!

This is a great tutorial. I only knew about 10% of what you demonstrated. I will be saving this to my playlist. Thank you

Wow Lindsay, I've never seen these tips. Thanks so much for your demo and explanation.

You are fabulous!!!

I really needed this! I was gifted a full set of copics and was a bit intimidated. This video has given me new found confidence. That’s what I love about you Lindsay! 🙏🏻❤️

Great gift! Happy coloring!

That palette blending worked surprisingly well. I'm impressed. The erasing tip!

THANK YOU so much for this Lindsay! I just tried alcohol markers a few days ago and told my husband it’s the first medium I’ve found that wasn’t for me. I didn’t have fun with it. I was making some of the mistakes you mentioned. Now I’m ready to try again.

This was great! I’d love to see how to use the water based blender markers. I got a few sets of Tombow dual brush pens, so now I have all these blenders and no use for them.

Thank you for taking the time to show us the right and wrong way to use these blenders. I don't have any of these.

When I first got into alcohol markers and I bought a three pack of Art n Fly colorless blenders, I tried blending alcohol markers together, and lo and behold, it’s not for blending alcohol markers, haha! They are useful for pushing alcohol ink around the paper, and producing certain effects with the ink. EDIT Lindsay the way you blended the yellow and orange using the colorless blender as a base was genius. I would never have thought to do that!

About two years ago I was looking for a refill for a ballpoint pen, somehow landed here, now have over 60 watercolors. Then I signed up for Lindsay's drawing class, and now have graphite and charcoal collection, with 64 pastels in the mail to me as we speak lol. And I hadn't done anything arty since 8th grade, and that was forced on me lol

7:15 *Ohhhhh!* I just never used mine. It was covid gift for STILL-furloughed unemployed me. I didn't wanna mess it up! Thank you for this whole video! (I used some of those brush markers for decent-enough calligraphy! But no blending or anything. I don't understand the marker thing. Yet.) ❤️️

The palette blending just... Blew my mind

Thanks for another excellent video. I haven't used my alcohol markers much due to blending frustration (sounds like a medical condition).Anyway, this is very helpful and yes, please do a video on water-based marker blending.

Great demonstration! I’m a newbie with markers and look forward to trying these tips out. So happy to have found your channel. Thank you for sharing ☺️

Best Tutorial ever!!

Thank you for a truly riveting video ! Blender markers have Been a mystery!

😃WOW!!!! Now I know what to do with that colorless blender thing that used to take up space!!!!!

THANK YOU. This really helped me learn how to use them better! I’ll say this again, thank you very much!

Your tutorial is the first tutorial I completely listen to! I love that you take begginers in consideration. You explain very well, the information is detailed and I looooooved it! How to blend, lighten, how to do techniques and patterns.. I learned a lot without getting bored. Thank u so much! ♡

I know Im like 2 years late but I just wanted to thank you for posting this. Im new to colouring so I never understood how to get the blending effect traditionally instead of digitally. I just cant afford a drawing tablet ( am saving up for one ) but I dont want to lose what I have learned through traditional art. This definitely makes sense now. Thank you so much for keeping this up!

I'm someone who got a big pack of Sharpies and then gave up on alcohol markers because they just wouldn't blend well. The palette blending technique is awesome! The results are great. Much better than purchasing the entire 358 set of Copics.

Copics is very expensive. I also ordered Ohuhu, it looks good for that price

This is super interesting. Not at all my medium, but I always enjoy these videos anyway - I'm learning a ton about stuff I'd never even consider using, and more knowledge is always good 👍

This is a great video, reminds me that it was your alcohol marker videos that brought me to you! I love the textures. I found that texturing with lighter analogous pastels rather than the colorless blender is sometimes interesting too, like dark blue with pastel purple cross-hatching or whatever. I'm pretty sure that whatever I've done creatively with markers started in some way with your cool ideas. So thank you!

Great information, Thank you! ❤️

Oooooo great video, lots of helpful tips. Thanks for sharing♥️

Before I had any idea what I was doing, I found out that I could make really neat clouds on a dark sky by “erasing” them out with the colorless blender. Looks really cool.

Thank you for this Lindsay! I’ve still got plenty to learn with markers and this was very informative!

Now I can fool around with my little stamped images in a more intelligent way! This is outstanding!

I’ve been frustrated with my markers, this is so helpful! Thanks Lindsay!

Thanks for all these tips, the colourless blender reminds me a little of using clean water with water paints to bring out highlights. Very helpful thank you again.

I am clumsy and I have found that if I really need to saturate an area it helps to line it with masking fluid. Just draw a fine line of the fluid just outside of the area, let it dry and that should really help with the color bleeding.

@@thefrugalcrafter Depends. If it's good thick cardstock then it seems to do okay. And doing a really super thin layer of fluid as well.

I have been watching several of those spice racks on Ebay for a while and today got one for $5 plus shipping. I plan to put all of my small sets in it. I keep my Prismacolor and Derwent pencils all together but have some small sets such as erasable and skintone. So excited. It matches the toilet topper I repurposed on its side to hold my alcohol markers.

Using the palette method and picking up the ink into the blender is freaking GENIUS!! It makes the absolute smoothest gradients

I am learning. I felt i can do it. Love the way you explain and show me the process slowly. Others videos are too techs or skilled that i felt sooooo overwhelming because there is no way i get those results. Thanks Ms. Lindsay!
