When I painted in watercolor I always used a limited palette. Typically a single pigment split primary (warm and cool of red, yellow, blue), along with burnt sienna just for quick mixing of brown and grey. With these seven colors you can paint anything. You could certainly do the same with markers used in this way. The issue is 90% of the time small sets don't provide the right colors. You need to buy open stock. Pencil sets (standard and watersoluble) are the same way.. very few 12 sets give you the colors you actually need for mixing. It's a real shame and I think brands are doing artists a real disservice.. and they should know better. Perhaps it's on purpose to encourage additional purchases. Another favorite limited palette is a modified earth tone palette.. yellow ochre, alizarin crimson alternative (actual alizarin is highly fugitive), ultramarine blue, and burnt sienna which gives an earth orange as well as grey mixed 50/50 with ultramarine and a variety of browns mixed with a touch of any of the other three colors ... this one gives very muted earthy colors and is great for landscapes, while being super portable.

I think you might be on to something there with “subliminal encouragement” to buy more colours….that’s where some colour theory becomes very handy for colour mixing 😉 I’m very guilty though of wanting all the colours available to me and forget that I can actually mix a fair few colours myself with a little bit of thought and effort. Thanks for your input 😊

Thank you so much for this video. Very helpful to see how to use water based markers in a different way than I'm used to using. Love hearing Hamish having a good time playing in the background- seems like he is adjusting well and enjoying life- You are a God send to him. He had me laughing 🤣with the raucous in the background- sounded like he was rearranging furniture

This video is so timely, though I wish I'd seen it a week ago, lol! Your way of showing/ teaching is so relaxing, and always so helpful to me. I couldn't get the feel using colored pencils on a download where the black areas came out speckly. I got brave and pulled out the few tombows I have. I kinda got the look I wanted. And, even with water, though clumsy. This video would've been so helpful! I didn't think about the super tips I have. I'm gonna keep working on my insecurities and post it on my Instagram 😮. AND, it brought me great joy that you let Hammish play ❤❤❤

The Lulu Mayo books always seem to go “spotty” when used with a lot of water but once dry it looks okay. I think it’s safe to say don’t use too much water or if you do, accept you may get bleed through especially with darker colours - I recommend always trying things out on pages you don’t mind sacrificing or a back page is possible. Thanks for watching, I appreciate you accepting all the life noises 🤣

Yes they do, I think it pays to experiment with everything - they might be harder to use colouring onto a hard surface first and using as a wash because the nib is so fine but it isn’t impossible. They are watersoluble when used direct into the paper 👍

Hi Jackie do they all bleed through the paper?
@Spare_Room_StudioКүн бұрын
If you use a lot of water yes….however light washes allowed to completely dry in between seem okay for the most part - but it all depends on the paper. I’d suggest trying on a test page or on a page that you are not too bothered about the page behind. Its probably safer to assume it will bleed, especially darker colours. I will try and remember to do a video showing the back side of pages 🤞
