Trying blending markers for the first time

4/27 Edited to

... Read moreWhen trying blending markers for the first time, it’s helpful to start with a set that offers a wide range of colors and blending tools, like the Artist Concepts TH Premium Blending Markers set. This particular set includes 16 bright colors along with two colorless blenders, which are crucial for achieving smooth gradients and subtle transitions in your artwork. In my experience, one of the best ways to get comfortable with blending is to practice layering colors gradually. Begin by applying the lighter color where you want the highlight and then gently add the darker shades. Use the colorless blender to soften the boundary lines between these shades for a more natural look. The markers come in a handy reusable storage tin, which helps keep your tools organized and ready for your next creative session. It’s important to remember that blending markers are non-toxic, making them safe for artists of all ages. For beginners, experimenting on a separate piece of paper before applying your techniques on your actual project can boost confidence and control over the blending. Additionally, cleaning the tip of the blender occasionally with a tissue can prevent colors from mixing unintentionally, keeping your blends cleaner and more precise. Whether you’re creating detailed illustrations, decorative designs, or lettering, mastering blending techniques unlocks a whole new level of artistic versatility. Overall, starting with an affordable and complete blending marker set from Five Below can be a fun, accessible way to dive into marker art and expand your creative skills.

Blending food increases your sugar spike 😳
COMMENT “FRUIT” and I’ll show you how to eat it without the spike… I discuss this on my lives a lot! Blending fruit can spike your sugar faster than eating it whole. When you drink it, your body absorbs it quick… and that can lead to a crash later. #bloodsugar #healthyhabits #guthealt
