How to have fun with Art Markers

Using art markers is a fun and creative way to bring your artwork to life.


Tips on using art markers

Here are some basic tips on how to use art markers:

Choose the right paper: Make sure you select a paper that is appropriate for markers. Look for papers that are designed specifically for markers or those that have a smooth texture, as these types of papers help prevent the markers from bleeding or smudging.

Practice blending: Art markers can be blended to create a wide range of colors and shading. Try practicing blending different colors to create new hues and add depth and dimension to your artwork.

Experiment with layering: Layering is another great technique to try with art markers. Layering colors on top of each other can create new colors and can also help to create interesting textures and patterns.

Practice controlling the marker: Art markers can be quite bold, so it’s important to practice controlling the amount of ink that you apply to the paper. Try varying the pressure that you apply to the marker to create different line thicknesses and add texture to your artwork.
