You can mix any colour you can dream up, and apply it any way you want to. I haven't done Tie Dye since I was in school so I wanted to have another play with it.<br />
Here is a rejuvenated Tshirt that was long and narrow that we will use as a nightie. This was a lot of fun, and now I am looking through our drawers for more items we can play with.<br />

<br />
It's Christmas time again, why not hand-paint some festive glasses to enjoy with your celebrations?<br />
<br />
Here is all you need for this project:<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>6 Champagne Flutes (or any number and type of glasses you prefer)</li>
<li>Pebeo Vitrea 160 Glossy Markers in Emerald and Pepper Red</li>
<li>Pebeo Vitrea 160 Glossy paints in Oriental Green and Pimento Red</li>
<li>Pebeo Vitrea Outliners in Pearl and Gold</li>
</ul>
<div>
Step 1: Begin by taking your Gold outliner and draw five lines around each glass, from the rim down. Make them a little wavy and of different lengths.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5OiFEWzaptd098xflaY7cHVLrbLmFZMvQyLmAxD3hTJmc0GlCxZnG6jDnY-oZuD0AaaFUjSFtGsh6_dn5hB1totCqCnT8pNW4HjJOGt7GhjQ2GkmnzcjdYQRf5qBOS49e6oBfDj8RARsq/s1600/thumb_IMG_1675_1024.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5OiFEWzaptd098xflaY7cHVLrbLmFZMvQyLmAxD3hTJmc0GlCxZnG6jDnY-oZuD0AaaFUjSFtGsh6_dn5hB1totCqCnT8pNW4HjJOGt7GhjQ2GkmnzcjdYQRf5qBOS49e6oBfDj8RARsq/s320/thumb_IMG_1675_1024.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Step 2: Use your red and green markers to draw round baubles at the end of each line. Use a small round brush and a dabbing motion to fill in the baubles with red and green paint. Do a few layers (drying in-between layers) to get them as dark as you like. Allow to dry about 15 minutes or so.</div>
<div>

Step 3: Take your Gold outliner and decorate each red bauble ...<br />

Step 4: Take you Pearl Outliner and decorate each green bauble...<br />

<br />
Step 5: Let dry for 24 hours then bake in oven to cure the paint as per instructions on your Pebeo Vitrea packaging. MERRY CHRISMAS X<br />

Hey guys. I had such fun with this blog creating some very special Christmas presents.<br />
I'd never really done anything like this before, but found out, I <span style="color: red;">really </span>love it.<br />
All I used to create my these little guys was some <span style="color: red;">Canson watercolour paper </span>A4<span style="color: #444444;">(Montval,medium cold press)</span> 300gsm, <span style="color: red;">Princeton Neptune watercolour brushes </span>(Quill: 4 & 12, scribe:6) , my fabulous <span style="color: red;">Schmincke water-colour pan </span>( 36 half pan + room for 12 more), and a few final touches with my coloured pencils.<br />
Truly. That's it.<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Well, that and a good and sometimes weird imagination. </div>

I like to draw a boarder around where my image will be so I know what space I have to work within. This just helps so when it comes time to framing, your artwork is as centred as possible and you don't lose any of your image. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
For inspiration, it's worth having a look on Pinterest for illustrations and images of dragons, monsters etc. There's a lot of drawing tips there too if you need guidance. </div>

After pencilling in your creature, it's time to start playing with your watercolours. The variety of colours and the 'mixes' you can create with these <span style="color: red;">Schmincke</span> are wonderful. Personally, I have trouble trying to leave white space, but I was very mindful of this this time. </div>

<br />
I have been looking at my dining room clock for a long time. It just doesnt go with my decor in my home anymore.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbDD8sYh0UYMLeGzMYqzIFSqbk-coOz-c4oz8rwElaPuUtbAufQx44RdLf9EkpC7b1cynETk6kgjmzR_0Z8vIoMD7ELgASDQMRqbbiAimAowR6t5KYQM0qyGIxseQBB3R5RsutTyqYM3g2/s1600/IMG_8962.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbDD8sYh0UYMLeGzMYqzIFSqbk-coOz-c4oz8rwElaPuUtbAufQx44RdLf9EkpC7b1cynETk6kgjmzR_0Z8vIoMD7ELgASDQMRqbbiAimAowR6t5KYQM0qyGIxseQBB3R5RsutTyqYM3g2/s640/IMG_8962.JPG" width="480" /></a></div>
So I got out the gesso and painted it all over the clock.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0ALvjH7bHcv2IWzkw63TJHWI73Qc1_omGp6Skl2IFgxjkoPbK7pu9q1QzJsrfWdGN0kPiXAlKSYaAlC4FU01RLN4RUZ6dsP05fad0Gjm7RLjUPomPiko7Cb72P9uSd9fl0lEAsbEd0iEp/s1600/IMG_8963.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0ALvjH7bHcv2IWzkw63TJHWI73Qc1_omGp6Skl2IFgxjkoPbK7pu9q1QzJsrfWdGN0kPiXAlKSYaAlC4FU01RLN4RUZ6dsP05fad0Gjm7RLjUPomPiko7Cb72P9uSd9fl0lEAsbEd0iEp/s640/IMG_8963.JPG" width="480" /></a></div>
<br />
I then used some aryclic paint and to make my clock look how I wanted it to be.<br />
<br />
Once it was all try, I then used the black Mexpy pen to draw my lines between each segment and the numbers.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Every year, I have the same dilemma trying to decide what to get for my Grandparents as they always tell me that they have everything that they need. And every year I end up doing a painting or drawing for them, this year however, I thought I'd make something that they might actually use!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I decided to test out my paints and try my hand at more realistic and detailed designs.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Unfortunately, I didn't take photographs of the steps, but I'll do my best to explain them.</div>

The Pebeo paints work in a similar way to most paints when it comes to mixing colours. I used a scrap of paper to mix the extra colours. I sometimes mixed the marker paints, or the pots of paint, or a mixture of both, which I will go on to explain.</div>

<ul>
<li>In this painting, I started off by drawing the outline of the butterfly shape.</li>
<li>Once, I had done this, I then drew the shapes on the wings.</li>
<li>I also filled in the edges, but left some white gaps on the tips of the wings for the spots.</li>
<li>I then drew the body of the butterfly.</li>
<li>I left this to dry for a couple of minutes.</li>
<li>I then started off with yellow and drew some of the colour on the outer edges of the shapes.</li>
<li>Next, I used my orange a bit further in, next to the yellow.</li>
<li>Occasionally I would go back to my first colour to create a bit of a gradient.</li>
<li>However, be careful in doing this as sometimes the paint can be lifted up if overworked.</li>
<li>Then I used the red in the middle for some warmth.</li>
<li>Once the butterfly had dried a bit more, I got my two white and black pots of paint and mixed a grey colour on my paper which I then painted with a brush underneath the butterfly as a shadow.</li>
<li>I had to do two coats of the paint with a fairly laden brush to get the even grey colour.</li>
</ul>

<br />
<ul>
<li> For this butterfly, I began by using the black marker and outlining the shape of the butterfly.</li>
<li>I then filled in the shapes on the wings and drew the butterfly body.</li>
<li>Once this had dried I used the dark blue marker and coloured the edges of the shapes.</li>
<ul>
<li>I shaded by finishing the line on a curve. By this I mean that I finished the colour with a curved line instead of a flat edge to join the next colour nicer.</li>
</ul>
<li>I then used by pale blue colour to finish colouring in the wings.</li>
<li>I then pressed the nib of the light blue marker a couple of times on a piece of paper so some of the paint flooded onto the paper which I then mixed with white potted paint to create a light blue colour.</li>
<ul>

<li>This bird looks really tricky, but it was just experimental and a lot of fun! And I only used a couple of colours.</li>
<li>Firstly, I used the red marker to draw the shape of the bird. I used the marker when it didn't have a lot of paint in the nib so it would draw lightly.</li>
<li>I then used my brushes to do some of the red brush strokes ontop of the head and chest.</li>
<li>While it was still wet, I used my yellow paint to add some highlights.</li>
<ul>
<li>I also mixed some of the red and yellow together on the paper to make orange and painted that as well.</li>
</ul>
<li>Next I painted the eye which was done just using the black and leaving a space for the eye reflection.</li>
<li>Then I mixed some of my blue and black together to make the colour for the wings.</li>
<ul>
<li>I painted keeping in mind the direction and shape of the feathers and built the paint up in layers. Sometimes I had to wait for the paint to dry before adding the next layer.</li>
</ul>
<li>Then I painted the beak which was made from mostly black with a little blue and then shaded around the eye and at the back of the head.</li>
<li>Then I mixed red with a little blue to make a purple colour which I painted on the chest of the bird below the beak.</li>
<li>After this had dried I painted the background which was purple made from the blue and red.</li>
<ul>
<li>For this I painted in stages following the direction of the bowl and added white each time to create the gradient. (You can see my brushstrokes).</li>
</ul>
<li>Voila! </li>

The paint is now washable. However, it is recommended to hand-wash to preserve the quality of the paint. If however you must use a dishwasher, use it on Eco mode. :) </div>

I hope you enjoyed this Christmas Gift Idea!<br />You can get creative
with colours and designs, you can even add sequins, and beads around the
candle with pins. This is also a great way to use those eyelets that
you have had forever. <br /><br /><br /></div>

They were perfect for this job. I was asked if I could paint on a serving Platter as a farewell gift for our minister and their family. After much thought I decided that it couldn't be just pretty, it had to have a nice quote that suited us and also serve as a reminder for them of all the good times we had, so they couldn't forget us. And They loved it, which is always good.<br />
So here is how it turned out-<br />

With the holidays approaching FAST, and in our case, we still have no X-mas tree up (YIKES) , perhaps there's still time to create some fabulous christmas tree ornaments with the family and your Pebeo fabric markers. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
All you need are the basics: Pebeo SetaScrib Fabric Markers in Fluoro or basic colour packs</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A piece of pre washed calico</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Black permanent ink stamp </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Christmas stamps. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And last but not least a bit of ribbon and some VERY basic sewing skills. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So let's get started</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Choose a stamp and add black permanent ink to it and stamp on image. Use a circular object(e.g.; masking tape roll) to draw an outline approximately 1 1/2cm from stamped image.<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Start adding colour to the stamp.<br />
This can be to match your decor or just because you like the colours.<br />
Here, I've used a very simple snowflake stamp, so there's little to colour in but dots etc add a nice touch.<br />
<br />
<br /></td></tr>

Before you begin sewing, remember to iron your design so as it's permanent when washed.<br />

<br />
Its that time of the school year where we are super busy enjoying the festive celebrations with our children at school and thinking about thank you gifts for our teachers.<br />
<br />
I created these super cute little tags for my sons teachers.<br />
All I did was use the watercolours.<br />
I free hand drew an apple and then started using the watercolours to build up the layers till I was happy.<br />

Why not add a little White Christmas to our hot Summer Christmas. To top it off there is no special preparation or supplies needed.<br />

When I set out to experiment painting on a plain tile I wasn't quite sure what would come out of it, but as my design evolved, so did my idea for what I would do with this decorative piece - a pot rest. Not only can it be handy in the kitchen, but would be a great design piece for the centre of the table at your next dinner party or a beautiful hand-made gift for some one special.<br />

For this project you will need:<br />
<div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>a 30cm X 30cm plain ceramic tile (they are relatively inexpensive to buy singularly from hardware stores such as Bunnings, so I recommend buying a couple and having one to practice on.</li>
<li>Stick on surface protectors, so the bottom of the tile doesn't scratch any delicate surfaces</li>
</ul>
<br />

<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>A pencil, eraser and ruler for drawing your design</li>
<li>A selection of Pebeo Porcelaine 150 Paints and Markers in your desired colour scheme. The colours I used were Parma Violet, Turquoise, Malachite Green, Citrine Yellow, Olivene Green, Ming Blue, Lapis Blue, Black (paints) and Amazonite Green, Peacock Blue, Marseille Yellow, Peridot Green, Lapis Blue, Black (Markers)</li>
</ul>
<div>
I began with my design with both a Mandala and Zentangle in mind, but nothing specific. I started by making some pencil markings radiating from the centre like below.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

<div>
You can copy my design, make up your own, or follow one of the many instructions for drawing mandalas that are on the internet.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Once I was pretty happy with design I used a combination of the Black Pebeo Porcelaine 150 Marker and Fine Liner to mark in the lines I wanted to keep and few extra ones here and there.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

<div>
Your design could look equally effective in Black and White, or just one extra colour or many colours like me. Once your marker pen is dry you are ready to paint.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
TIPS</div>
<div>
* Use a baby wipe to wipe off the pencil lines you know longer require. A baby wipe will also remove the Pebeo paint while its still wet. </div>
<div>
* Use Isopropyl alcohol such as ISOCOL or DIGGERS to remove dry paint marks that you don't like, smudges or mistakes. Cotton wool balls and buds are handy for this.</div>
<div>
* A tooth pick is also handy for scratching off errors in tiny areas</div>
<div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If you find yourself getting brush marks you don't want, try using the paint sparingly with a very soft brush. Do light layers, allowing to dry thoroughly in between, to build up the colour.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In small areas you can try "flooding" the paint, dropping a lot of paint into the area and sort of using it around without creating brush strokes. Practice on your "practice tile" to see what effects you like.</div>

You can mix colours together on your pallet (for example I mixed a bit of Parma Violet with Black to create and Egg Plant Purple) layer one colour over another in order to create new colours. You can also combine your markers and your paints such remember to let the layers dry well in-between.</div>

Cover a journal cover in crackle modelling paste</h2>
<div>
Hello everyone! Today as we approach the end of the year I have created a great project that will result in the most unique Christmas gift. I have decorated journals for many years and I can tell you that everyone who receives one of these journals treasures them and just loves them to bits!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here's my snapguide on the steps required to produce such a lovely distressed journal cover.</div>

Do you have a heap of old phone cases lying around that have seen better days?? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Why not give them a new lease of life with some Pebeo Fantasy Prisme & Moon Paints as well as some Vitrail Paints and Cerne Relief Outliners. These are super easy to make, you you need to do is pour and use a toothpick to create some patterns.</div>

<u><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #38761d;"><b>Some tips to working with Fantasy & Vitrail Paints are:</b></span></span></u><br />
<ul>
<li>Don't overwork/ overblend the colours. adding the colours side by side and letting them do their own dance creates the most spectacular results.</li>
<li>Don't work directly under a fan with these paints, a fan will develop a dryer skin on top of the colours that doesn't work as well when dragging patterns through the colours.</li>
<li>Leave the colours over your surface for at least 15min to 40min before dragging patterns through it. You want the colours to settle into each other but not dry to much. You still want the colours to be able to move. Waiting before adding patterns holds the pattern shapes a little better.</li>
<li>Don't get too attached to the initial pour, they keep working and activating with each other as they dry, that is where the magic happens.</li>
</ul>

Enjoy this video tutorial on how I created the second cover and how I have used the Cerne Relief Outliner. :)<br />

These are the quick and easy steps to creating the background on the first cover.<br />
These would make awesome Christmas presents that you could personalize with their names.</div>

With a little Pebeo Porcelain Paint you can spice up a white mug this xmas as a personal little handmade gift idea.<br />
I myself am not a fan of white mugs, I had to purchase some just for this tutorial! I collect bright coloured funky mugs! So how does one turn a boring old white mug into something fun and personal!<br />
<br />
With alphabet stickers of course! and some various colours of the Pebeo Porclaine paints! I grabbed some cheap alpha stickers from the Reject Shop for $2.00<br />

I did my pet name from my husband and also my initials I grabbed a stippling brush and also my palette, poured some of the colours I wanted to use and started bouncing my round stippling brush onto the mug. Super easy and simple!<br />
I completely clean the mugs to make sure there is no residue on the mugs so the paint has a clean surface to work with. <br />
TIP - Apply the stickers to your clothes first before putting onto the mug to allow some of the stickyness to be muted, so when it comes time to remove your alphabets it wont be such a huge pain.<br />

I did test how the stippled dots would look on a spare piece of card before applying to the mug, to make sure I was happy with how it turned out.<br />
This Blog post is also a lesson for you if you get to the end of your project and you hate it...I remade this cup 5 times before I settled on a design, you will see some of the ok attempts! REMEMBER NOTHING IS SET IN STONE UNTIL YOU BAKE IT!<br />

I used red and white paint and also mixed the two to make a soft pink, I also used a q-tip to add little red polkadots to the design.<br />

Using a pin I removed the stickers, you may need to use some Methylated spirits to sharpen your edges if you so wish! I used a fine brush with the metho to work the edges.<br />

another way you can add colour, is using sponges and bouncing thin washes of colour to your mug.<br />

I used primary colours and a sponge and pounced the sponge onto the mug to give a softer effect...then I decided I wanted to create a cute watermelon inspired mug so started..yet again.<br />
<br />Using the same sponge technique I bounced red and green onto my mug over my alphabet stickers<br />

once I was happy I then used a black pebeo porcelain paint pen, and drew on little sporadic seeds. The lovely little mug now holds my current fave washii tapes on my desk!<br />
<br />
If you create a mug design and you aren't in love with it, a paper towel and methylated spirits will remove your work, and you can start again! just because you failed once doesn't mean you've ruined your mug! Like I said nothing is set in stone unless you've baked it.<br />
<br />
Let your creations dry for a full 24 hours before baking.<br />
150 degree oven for 25 mins, I turn the oven off and leave the door open for the mugs to cool.<br />
I hand wash all my handmade things just to be on the safe side!<br />
<br />
I hope you enjoyed this little quick fun tutorial, and remember everything can be fixed.<br />

This is a fun way of creating journals . </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Mixing up your style of journals can be as inspiring as what you put in them.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I may be in denial that Christmas is so soon as there is a lot to do! But truth be told, Christmas is probably my favourite time of year. So I thought making some Christmas themed cards would be the way to go!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These are so simple to make and you can use any Mepxy Markers that you have on hand!</div>

I drew a mix of leaves and berries and continued around the wreath. <br />
I found that turning the drawing helped keep the wreath shape looking like it was following a path around the shape.</div>

<br />
First, I started with L05 Elm Green and shaded in the spindly leaves. This helps you see the type of leaves I drew. The pencil also helps stop the bleed of the markers, it fills the shapes really well!<br />
You'll just have to make sure you use paper that is thick enough to not bleed the markers through to the next page. If you are unsure, slip a scrap of paper in the middle so it catches any bleeding.<br />

Here you can particularly see how the markers fill out the shapes really well. Here I used L63 Forrest Green.<br />

You can't see it very well in this scan, but I used my Pentel Gold Brush pen to shade in the baubles. It gives a great effect in real life as it shines when the light catches it. How Christmas-sy!?</div>

I love working with alcohol markers to create soft, gently blended skin tones. They were the first tool that I really mastered when I trained to become a Fashion Illustrator. They are quick, predictable, come in a HUGE range of colours and fun to use!<br />
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">The <a href="http://www.instituteofcute.com/mepxy-markers-24-set/"><span class="s2">MEPXY</span></a> Brush markers are one of my preferred brands and I recommend the boxed <a href="http://www.instituteofcute.com/mepxy-markers-24-set/"><span class="s2">Pastel Set of 24</span></a> as a great basic kit for creating contemporary portraits.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">One of the things I adore using most with alcohol markers is watercolour. The way they completely ignore each other is fascinating to me. I finally<a href="http://www.instituteofcute.com/blending-journals/"><span class="s2"> found a paper </span></a>that could cope with both of these very different supplies and wanted to dedicate a journal just to the markers, my <a href="http://www.instituteofcute.com/schmincke-watercolours-by-jane-davenport/"><span class="s2">Schmincke watercolour set </span></a>and <a href="http://www.instituteofcute.com/jane-davenport-epic-drawing-pen/"><span class="s2">favourite pen</span></a>.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">But the thing that makes alcohol markers so wonderful is the very thing that makes them a challenge for using in an Art Journal. It's the way that the ink bleeds-through to the back of the page! So rather than continue to lament the bleed-through, I decided to use it as a kick start for another drawing.</span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">In this image you can see the bleed-through from the girl in blue and where i used that to create a new drawing.</span></div>

<span class="s1">The gorgeous, highly pigmented Schmincke watercolours don't bleed through, so I am safe to use them back to back on my pages. Look at the way Transparent Orange and Brilliant Red Purple and Magenta mix!</span></div>

It is so easy to transform cheap, plain, household items into cute, hand-decorated ones with Pebeo Porcelaine 150 paints and markers.<br />
<br />
I used Salt n Pepper shakers and a hand-soap dispenser both found for under $5.<br />

These boxes are just simple little cardboard boxes available from Spotlight. This project is really two steps, the first step is to paint them with acrylic paint. As they are cardboard they really suckup the paint alot, so the trick is just to apply quite a few layers allowing them to dry in between.<br />

<br />
Allow this to dry completely before you move to the next step.<br />

<b>NEXT comes the fun part the decorating. </b></div>
I just love the <b>Schminke Aerocolour inks</b> and the liner pens that you can fill with your favourite colours!<br />
<br />
I have the fine tip pen here with the Cyan ink. This is one of my favourite colours to go to.<br />
<br />
Really from here is up to you with how you want to decorate. I used a white gel pen for the white areas.<br />

<b>I think this would also be a super cute and easy little project you could do with the kids of all ages. </b> You could run it over a couple of days and get the painting out the way first and decorating in the next session. Or if you have really little ones you could do the painting your self and just let them decorate.<br />

BOX IDEAS: They could use one for their little lego bits or would make a lovely little storage box for jewellery or hairbands. You could also write some words on the top to say what needs to go in there or inspirational quotes - up to your imagination.

Who would have thought you could get this sort of finish with Mepxy Markers. I love how they blended on the canvas paper (A4 Canson Canvas Paper 290gsm) . The paper underneath gave the markers so much more versatility while being able to create some beautifully blended techniques.</div>
<br />
<img border="0" height="440" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3q71LWzgIKjBssPfi7reWkgOPT01eZlTaiiTp1m12cuWXVcQ_urbZCNkqIMZg-5DSFyd6rNwaO8uPPe9MeB_2RykozjxmllHJ8p5ABFRdCg9_COiIc_M9NRO3esSjSdXVk_2vd9b3u9c/s640/A+Glimps+of+Hope+by+Michelle+Grant.jpg" width="640" /><br />
<br />
Using the colourless marker to blend and add highlights worked a treat. Even adding lighter colours over the top of darker colours changed it to the lighter colour. I also used light colour and the 00 colourless marker to soften lines and blend out the colours. I love the finished look of the canvas under the drawing too. :)<br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">From the previous tutorial I had already outlined the bubbles with lead pencil, so now I go around the inside of the circle as close to the lead line as possible with my brightest yellow (Y11). I then use an eraser and remove the lead pencil. Be careful to try and not go over the lead line with your marker as sometimes you may not be able to rub out the line later as the marker makes the lead line permanent. I try to work as close as I can with the marker to the lead pencil line. Once I have erased the lead line and the brightest yellow is there I go around with my darker yellow (Y13) and chose sections where I want darker areas.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">I use a pastel purple colour (V12) to add a oil slick sort of sheen to the left side of the bubble. I go over the purple and each side with a bright pink (M21) then over it again with a light pink (M11) over almost the entire circle of the bubble.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">I whip around the bubble with a light blue (C01) first then again with the darker blue (B21).

<span style="font-family: "\22 helvetica neue\22 " , "\22 arial\22 " , "\22 helvetica\22 " , sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">I use my colourless marker (00) and colour over and outside all of the bubbles. I thought they were a little too bright for what I was looking for so the colourless marker fades those colours out a little bit.</span></div>

Some of the best things about the Canson Art book 180º is that it loves your mobile art nature. In that, I mean, the quick sketches with pencil, charcoal and pen whilst you're out and about and want to quickly capture a moment , other than on your mobile device. </div>

With your journal, a willow stick and an eraser, you're ready to capture the world. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here I've made a quick background of charcoal and then used an eraser to create a face. Only a little addition of some more charcoal and your done. </div>

Just to finish off before I travel home, I divided the pages with a sheet of Canson Tracing paper and some wash tape. I'll give her a light spray of fixative when I get back to my studio. </div>
