Markers are rapidly gaining popularity nowadays. Their colors are bright, they are quite easy to use, and they’re just playing cool. I discovered marker sketching only a few years ago, and I quickly fell in love with them. Many people in my urban sketching group have asked me to show them the basics of markers. Some of them have already acquired some markers but had questions about the proper technique. These questions gave me the idea of creating this class. It’s been a great pleasure putting it together. This course is not so much about urban sketching, as it is about the medium of markers, about their properties, and techniques.

What you will learn:

• What types of alcohol-based markers are available and about their characteristics;
• How to choose markers by asking yourself three important questions;
• How to select paper, a colorless blender, fineliners, and white pens;
• The basic strokes, coloring techniques, texturing and shadowing.

I hope all your questions about markers will find answers in the videos but if you still have some questions or need help with your sketches, please, don't hesitate to contact me on the Community Page. I also welcome suggestions and feedback on the Community Page.
