    when using a colorless blender you put the blender down first, then the other colors. It sound backwards, but it works. if you do it the other way it just lifts the color

      I feel so dumb. I just started using alcohol markers and couldn't figure out how to use the blender. I even put some of the ink directly into the blender. Which makes cool effects, but was nearly impossible to clean back off.
      Thank you for your tip. 😭

    One of my favourite ways to work with my Premier pencils and my alcohol markers are to mix them! You can use prismacolours to enhance the alcohol markers over top but you can also use the alcohol ink to help blend your pencils!

    I have used alcohol markers once, and the result looked like a 3 year old had been coloring with Crayola Super Tips in a Dollar Tree coloring book (they were Copied and it was marker paper). But I see my friends making beautiful multimedia pieces with alcohol markers as the centerpiece, so I grabbed a set of 100 Belleza Suprema markers and now I'm on UA-cam. Yours is the second video I have watched. You're the most adorable human on the planet, I subscribed to your channel. These tips are awesome, thank you for explaining everything I did wrong 5 years ago ❤️

    Awesome video! I've been working harrrrd at getting my marker work where I want it. I think your point about mixing mediums is the best. I love to use watercolors (my main medium), colored pencils, gouache, and ink/ liquid watercolors over it to get it juuuust right. Knowing you have other mediums to use over a marker base takes away a lot of the perfectionism I feel, knowing that it doesn't have to be perfect and I can use other mediums to achieve the effects I want and can't get with markers.
    This video is one of the best made marker tutorials I've ever seen tbh. The way it was made with the section reviews 🤌👌
