My thoughts and prayers have been with California…
Save the grapes!!
So many have been impacted by the wildfires and devastation on the West Coast…
Let’s have a glass of wine in their honor…
There are so many different types of markers and pens available now
These Chameleon pens are so innovative, each pen has 2 tips and a blending chamber
Touch the nib you want to use to the white blending nib at one end of the pen by inserting it in the chamber in a vertical position for 5-10 seconds
When you apply the color, it starts out very light and progresses to dark
This is a little bit of a process, but it’s tons of fun
There are lots of video tutorials available on the Chameleon website here
A colorless blending pen can be used blend the edges
Once the initial drawing is done, I select the pens and colors I want to use, and make a color chart for quick reference
This chart shows at a glance the color variations, pen tips and effects I can achieve
At this point I incorporated colored pencils too
Combining marker and pencil makes it possible to soften areas and create a wider variety tones and textures
I used the green Chameleon pen for the bottle and the red Chameleon pen for part of the wine
Pour the wine!
It’s about that time!
Be Fearless!
