Using Markers For Color Washes

7/16/2018

We like to tell ourselves all sorts of tails to avoid creating, don't we? I don't have the right space or materials, I need more time, I need to finish something. Trust me I could write a book of these excuses! 

My time and space and materials are all limited but that doesn't mean I can't create. Using what we have is what witches are best at.  The above piece was done with children's marker pens on sketch paper. I taped off an area to work in to give the end result a more intentional look.

For this technique all you need is washable markers, some water and a brush. 
1. Make scribbles on the page
2. Wet the page so the colors run
3. Wait to dry
​4. Sketch on top

You can also use markers to draw something then give it a painterly effect with some water.
