Watercolors with Markers: illustrating a family of caribou

It is no secret that when I first started painting with watercolors, I didn’t really use watercolors. In fact, I used markers. Specifically, I used Tombow Dual Brush Markers, and the effects I could achieve with them were remarkable. Most people wouldn’t have even known that I used markers and not watercolors when I would show them my artwork. Even to date, most people cannot tell.

Long story short, if you are interested in trying watercolors, but have been intimidated or too afraid to do so, I highly suggest you test out these markers. I’ll be posting more tutorials and timelapse videos of my using them, and you’ll be able to see some of the great results you can get. Watch the tutorial video below.

Throughout the video, I provide you with information on:

  • How I compiled my sketch

  • What the overall process is for painting with markers

  • The paper I use for this kind of artwork

Here are the supplies that I use in the video:

I hope that this video was fun and helpful. If you’d like to share your artwork from this video on Social Media, tag #brettblumenthalstudio and #bbsartshare
