Not Enough Markers? No Worries!

Hi friends! One of the things I love about paint is that you only need a few basic colors, and you can mix whatever you want. Things get tricker when you are using “drawing” mediums like pencils, pastels, and especially markers. Today, I am going to show you how you can expand and fill in the gaps with other media when you only have a basic set of alcohol markers.

We will be using new the Ohuhu Honolulu Plus Markers to create a mixed-media portrait! We will compare them to the older Honolulu original markers as well as the more expensive Copic Sketch so you can see how they stack up.
