I’ve found that one of the few things I don’t love about my Prismacolor Markers is that they always seem to be missing the bridge colors. For example, while there are dark, medium, and light purples they tend to be different shades of purple which makes for an ugly dark to light blend. Alternatively, I couldn’t find a blue light enough to represent a beautiful cloudy sky or help me make that blend from medium blue to white paper. So when I want to color something like a galaxy, the mission seemed quite impossible.
After another few hours of experimenting, practicing, and failing I came up with a solution! Instead of fighting the areas where the colors didn’t blend seamlessly, I chose to embrace them. I utilized texture to create a purposeful look that showcased the different colors of the markers, while still giving the general effect of the blend I was going for.
If you love this piece as much as I do and want to rock it, take it to school!
