    Dear Lou, I always use the lightest color to fill in the stamp, petal by petal. Then the darkest marker, then the middle color, but just tipping the dark, because it will take of your color and then the lightest color again. I always use copy paper under my Neenah paper to absorbe the color. thanks for your video. Greetings Thea, the Netherlands

    Thank you for easily explaining them. I have a set (off brand) that I like the colors, but of course, they are not out. Not being used. I want to get them out now. First, I need to look at my paper, I know it is not the right kind. Hmmm, will the paper say "marker paper" on it? Need to look at what I have.
    Thank you!!

    The Shinhan Art blender actually does work like a blender. But yeah the Copic blender and some others seem to work like a bleacher instead.
    So test your blender to see what it actually does whenever you get a new brand.

    Hi Lou, fantastic video n very educational. A great video to watch. The one thing is always forget is which ink pad to use with which medium. So if youre stamping n using alcohol markers use Momento, but which ink pad do you use if colouring with Aqua markers and does the same apply if using aqua or colourblend pencils?? I have recently bought SN aquas n classiques markers n both sets of pencils, so any advice is much appreciatedThank you as always. X

    Have you got more videos planned on using alcohol markers?
    I usually love your videos and your teaching style but felt this was a little short and more could of been covered. I'm relatively new to alcohol colouring as for years I didn't fancy the colouring 3 times to get the blended effect. I'm now a convert but very much on a low budget. I realise you can only use the pens you have and won't necessarily want to buy other pens to demonstrate with. Sorry that sounds rather negative😂 not my intent just felt I wanted more as I could listen and watch you for hours🤗 My struggle at the moment is leaving white/pale highlights while colouring, depth (where to shade) on rounded objects and using white highlighter pens. I'm not sure how much is just practise and watching lots of videos. I will pop over to your playlist as I'm sure you will have a list of your alcohol colouring videos there, if I haven't already watched them all🤣. Eleanor

      @cathismith2624 Hi I did have a look through both Craftstash and Lou's TH-cam channel and didn't find anything. I watch a lot of Kelly Taylor Cards she does a lot of copic colouring, if you can cope with her storytime and religious references, she is well worth watching. Eleanor

    Hello, i’m using ohuhu markers on thin marker paper and some of the markers are really watery for some reason. I don’t think they leak, but when i draw with them the ink is not dry and sticky and if i add more colors it looks like i’d be coloring with water colors.. i’m not sure how to explain it. Does anyone know what may be wrong?

    The way you hold your marker gives you more restricted range of motion. If you hold it between your thumb and first finger, resting on your middle finger bringing all three fingers together you'll have better control.
