Plus, color names and swatches are included in convenient PDF format for 3 projects and 6 lessons, which you can also refer to while coloring!

Get to know your materials

We'll start this course right at the beginning, with detailed discussions about:

• Alcohol marker brands

• Nib types

• Alcohol marker paper

• Storage options

This way you gain a solid understanding of your art supplies, and then you're ready to dive in and make art! 😍

Alcohol Marker Techniques

Now it's time to uncap your markers! To get started, you'll learn about different types of brushstrokes as well as techniques for smooth, streak-free coloring.

Then we'll explore various alcohol marker blending techniques! With 10 lessons devoted entirely to blending tips and techniques, we'll start with the basics and build your skills as you learn:

• How to blend 1 color into itself

• How to blend 2 colors

• How to blend 3 colors

• How to blend to white

• How to create multi-color gradient blends

• How to create rainbow blends

• Blending from light to dark vs. dark to light

• How to fix mistakes

Below each blending lesson, you'll find a whimsical printable coloring page for you to practice what you've just learned!

That way, you can hone your skills while also creating a fun work of art!

You can also download detailed PDFs that provide the color names and color swatches that I used, so you can easily follow along at home!

In addition to learning how to blend alcohol markers step-by-step, in this course you will also learn how to choose colors for blending!

By watching these lessons, you will:

• Get acquainted with the color wheel

• Learn about analogous colors

• Learn how a color's value can help you figure out what colors might blend well with it

• Understand how to choose colors to create gorgeous blends!

Additionally, you will:

• Understand the Copic numbering system

• Learn why going beyond Copic's traditional "blending families" results in more dynamic blends!

To give you ideas about which colors to blend together, you'll have access to my detailed blending charts that feature over 250 Copic blends!

This takes all the guesswork out of choosing colors, making it easier than ever to choose colors for blending. These charts can also help inspire you to come up with your own blends, based on the colors in your collection!

If you don't have Copics, don't worry! You can use the color swatches as a guide and match them to whatever colors you have on hand.

😍 These exclusive Copic blending charts are only available via this course - you won't find them anywhere else! 😍

To help you better understand your colors and how they can work together to create fantastic blends, I've created 3 custom color charts for Copic and Ohuhu Honolulu!

My custom Copic and Ohuhu Honolulu color charts are organized according to what the colors actually look like, which makes it easier to see the creative possibilities about which colors can blend together well!

In this course, you'll get access to my colored-in custom color charts, as well as my blank custom color charts, so you can fill them in with the colors that you have on hand!

Now things really get exciting!

After learning how to blend alcohol markers, you'll put your new skills to use as you create the beautiful works of art shown below!

This course includes these 3 detailed step-by-step projects to help solidify your practical understanding of how to use alcohol markers to create various types and styles of artwork:

In addition to all the lessons about using alcohol markers, I've included a fun bonus section about enhancing your alcohol marker art with other media!

Alcohol markers work wonderfully with many other types of media. These additional lessons will help you understand the best ways to combine your alcohol marker art with:

• Colored pencils

• Graphite

• Ink

• Gel Pens

• Paint Pens

• 3D Paint

In each lesson, you'll see numerous example artworks to give you ideas of how that medium can be combined with alcohol markers. In addition to tips and techniques, several of the lessons include mini demonstrations, along with recommended brands for each media!

7 video lessons: 58 minutes

When you invest in a set of alcohol markers, especially an expensive brand like Copic, then taking good care of them is important to help them last for decades (yes, decades)!

This course has you covered, with lessons covering various trouble-shooting and maintenance topics such as:

• How to replace a nib

• How to refill a Copic marker

• How to clean dirty markers, caps and hands

Plus, you'll learn how to preserve your finished alcohol marker art, with a lesson about scanning, displaying and storing your finished masterpieces.

Alcohol Markers

•  Copic Sketch Markers will be used for the demonstrations, but you can use any brand of alcohol markers. Color swatches are provided for every color that is used in the course, so you can easily match the colors to whatever you have on hand. Since so many people use Ohuhu Honolulu Markers as a cheaper alternative to Copics, a Copic-Ohuhu Honolulu Color Conversion Chart is also included! 😍

• Brush-nib alcohol markers are highly recommended (as opposed to bullet or chisel nib). If you want to create beautiful, seamless blends, then brush nibs are the way to go!

• NOTE: The techniques in this course will not work with water-based markers, so alcohol markers are essential.

Paper

• Recommended: Alcohol marker paper or card stock. My lesson on "Paper Brands" offers numerous suggestions for specific brands, with links below the lesson.

Printer

• Some lessons include printables, so if you'd like to follow along at home, you'll need to print out the provided line art. All printable downloads are offered in PDF format for easy printing.

NOTE: This course requires you to understand how to download a PDF onto your computer, tablet or device, and then print it out. Tech support will not be provided for downloading or printing course materials, as these are basic procedures that are specific to your home set-up. Thank you for your understanding!

Hi! My name is Thaneeya McArdle and I'm thrilled to teach you everything I know about using alcohol markers! 💖

I've been using alcohol markers for over 10 years, during which time, my coloring books have sold over 4 million copies!

Publishing over 30 coloring books has given me ample opportunity to hone my coloring techniques, especially the use of alcohol markers. Along the way, I've picked up a ton of invaluable tips, tricks and techniques that really helped me refine my process. I'm so excited to share these techniques with you!

Since 2009, my art education website, www.Art-is-Fun.com, has helped over 30 million people on their artistic journey. With my new series of video courses, I'm super-excited to share my art knowledge in a whole new way, by providing dynamic content in a fun-to-follow format!

“The videos are so well done! I am a beginner and signed up for Thaneeya's Ultimate Guide to Using Alcohol Markers course a few months ago, not knowing really anything about alcohol markers. The videos are so cheerful and fun and easy to follow. I learned so many good tips from her and I enjoy my coloring hobby (addiction) so much more now. I even enjoy reviewing the lessons when I don’t have my markers out. I recommend her channel and her courses.”

—Christina B.

“This course is a golden opportunity for anyone stuck or hesitant with their alcohol markers. The instructor is very gifted & extremely generous; she doesn't hold back any information, tips or advice from us. You will see from the course and PDFs that she is versed in this field and uniquely gifted in her artwork - the cuteness of her whimsical art is an appreciated treat. She explains EVERYTHING about the markers and other supporting medias thoroughly and steadily. I strongly recommend taking this class, you will not regret it. Am 99% sure that I will join any upcoming course she may provide. Thanks a million for this course Thaneeya, sincere appreciation for knowing about you.”

—Bibi S.

“I had never done any artwork, coloring or anything else until an injury that required minimal activity. I signed up for the Ultimate Guide to Using Alcohol Markers and have not looked back since. The videos are set up so easy to follow and refer back to if need a reminder on how to do something. I have learned so much about colors, blending and enjoy every minute. Easy to spend hours and not realize how much time went by. I HIGHLY recommend this course and instructor!! Thank you, Thaneeya!!”

—Nan

“It took awhile, but I finally finished this page from the alcohol marker course. Thaneeya - thank you, thank you, a thousand times THANK YOU for creating my ideal coloring course! It's everything I hoped for!”

—Sally H.

“I‘m in the middle of the blending videos and wow! I just have to tell you how much I love your approach and your videos! I couldn’t get my Ohuhus to blend yesterday and now I just blended 3 different colors and colored a beautiful butterfly and I‘m surprised about my result. This morning I‘ve never had guessed what I would be able to do after your videos and your exercise suggestions. Thank you!”

—Verena H.

“I love how the lessons are broken down into manageable sizes. Its perfect for busy people. Even if I have only 10 minutes to color, I can usually watch a chapter and practice in that little time. Thaneeya's teaching style is great and perfect for beginners who have never used alcohol markers. She is not a "one technique fits all" instructor. She is very good at showing different techniques to achieve certain looks which allows you to decide what your preferred method is.”

—Susan N.

I’m loving this course. I’ve had Copic markers for years but still feel unsure about color combinations. It is wonderful having suggestions at hand and taking the pressure out of choosing and matching colors. Your combinations are wonderful and not the ones I would have chosen instinctively. Your artwork is so much fun to color! 💖

—Camilla O.

“I have completed your course and love your technique for marker blending. Your course has given me confidence to move forward in drawing and colouring. I would love to do more courses with you. I had never heard of Copic markers or Ohuhu markers before you introducing them to me. I now have both full sets of markers that I collected over 3 months and love using them.”

—Marea C.

“I really love the course and I’m very impressed at how everything is laid out. Job very well done!”

—Marie-Josée C.

"Thank you so much. I LOVE the course so far - I’m learning so much. You are really a GREAT teacher!"

—Diane K.

“The course is amazing and I love to work with the designs. I am very grateful for your help.”
