- 5 Tips and Techniques for Using Watercolor Markers!
Today I am going to share my top 5 techniques for getting the most from your water based markers! The markers I am using are the 60 dual tip watercolor marker set from Ohuhu: amzn.to/2GuUNe4
Techniques:
1. Coloring directly with the markers and blending dark to light
2. Using a tile as a palette by scribbling swatches of marker then applying with a water brush or water based blending marker.
3. Coloring directly with the markers and then blending with the water brush or blending pen.
4. Use it like an inkpad: Coloring with markers directly on a rubber stamp, breathing on the stamp and stamping.
5. Dragging color with a wet brush (from step 4) and filling in the design for a painterly look.
Bonus tips!
*Use the fine tip end to add detail over colored image (after the image is dry)
* Scribble the marker on a tile and pick up the ink with a sopping wet brush and spatter on color
These techniques work best on watercolor paper or bristol but as always you can try with what ever you have. I used the smooth side of this watercolor paper by arteza for today's projects:amzn.to/2nqpo3F
I have also had good luck with the following papers:
Canson XL watercolor paper: amzn.to/2npFDOo
Strathmore XL Bristol: amzn.to/2Envzxt
Strathmore Bristol: amzn.to/2Gw19tM
Fabriano Studio hot press: amzn.to/2BAPNkh
I use the above papers for watercolor stamping projects because they are inexpensive yet are high enough quality to give beautiful results. Those papers are not what I would use for paintings which require lifting and scrubbing or many layers by they are ideal for the techniques I showed in the video.
Stamps!
Pretty poppies Stamps (Stampendous) amzn.to/2DZHu6X
Pretty Poppies Dies: amzn.to/2EltNgk
Pretty poppies die and stamp bundle: amzn.to/2Epng4s
Stampendous feather stamps: amzn.to/2EksRJ7
Waterbrushes: amzn.to/2FpBRft
Blender pen (make sure to get a waterbased one) amzn.to/2FsFXU8
Ohuhu Set of 60 Watercolor Markers for $22: amzn.to/2EmAxuB
Archival ink pad: amzn.to/2Gv1gFS and reinker: amzn.to/2DKocza
*If you need glycerin to revive your clear blending pen you can get it here: amzn.to/2DNSXTK or at a health food store or pharmacy

A number of yours videos are eternal! Reference material for many decades to come.
thanks!
I have these markers and they're wonderful! Very easy to use and highly pigmented. I don't see them drying up quickly at all. Thanks for the tips! Very helpful for us cardmakers who enjoy coloring as well.
You had me at the feathers, Lindsay - gorgeous!
I just recently bought some Watercolor Markers because I have always wanted to try it out since I was 10! I'm now doing some research on them cause I got them for myself for my 13th Birthday. I got the tips and tricks that will help me out in my artistic journey, and this video is crazy good! I love how much information you gave me, and I also love how much information you put into the description box! I just got the really cheap watercolor paper, so I can try out my markers on the proper items! Thank you so much, it really helped me out a ton. :)
I was watching this and thinking how wonderfeul it is 2 have u and people like u doing these videos 2 help us learn r tools and the things we can do with them. This was so detailed. I wasn't left with a single question. LOVED that u showed so many options 2 get the same effect. I already picked which one I'll use. Thank u so much!
Started watching this while I ate breakfast. Usually don’t watch your colouring or painting videos, cuz I think I can’t do them. This video changed my mind. So well done and I think I will be able to follow your tips and techniques and expand my horizons. So, thank you. One last thing that I put in when appreciating your videos...please stop apologizing for the time it takes. You are working at warp speed and we can pause it when we are trying your techniques. The longer your videos are the happier I am. You add in little sprinkles of wisdom. Thank you. I appreciate you and all you do for us.
This is by far the best tutorial I have seen so far! As a newbie to this craft, I was starting to think the pens that I purchased were not very good, but you made me realize that its all about learning different techniques and practicing. Thanks you so much for sharing this, You really inspired
me! 😊
Lindsay, you are an absolutely an amazing artist and communicator - one of the best on these you tube videos. I never thought it was possible to create art like with oils and watercolor. What an amazing video. Thanks so much.
"You don't have to be an artist to do it"....I'm in Lindsay!!! For me, this was an EXCELLENT tutorial and I can't thank you enough! And those feathers....so beautiful! Adding the shadow around them popped them off the page....so cool to watch! Two thumbs up Lindsay!
I love doing this with Crayola markers with flowers. I even did a piece with Snow White where I had her looking at her reflection using the markers applied in a couple different ways and the Crayola watercolor paint for the version of her. It gave some effects pretty much from the start with little trial and error before hand. It gave me time to see if I was going to really like it before buying even a small set of Cotman watercolor paints.
Excellent video. I am beginning watercolor after doing oils for years and this was one of the best presentations I have seen so far. Love the techniques that you use and how you explained them is very clear and easy to follow. Thank you for the taking the time to do this for those of us who are trying to learn.
I usually just watch your videos but this time I have experimented and used my watercolour markers to use these techniques. I have made notes in my journal (which is just a sketchbook) but tomorrow I will go through the process again using watercolour paper. The creating of a journal is the best thing I have decided to do because I can leave the mistakes and make notes of what I should have done for a better result..takes away the anxiety of putting medium to paper. January is nearly over and I have managed to do something in my journal everyday!
that's great, art journal for the win!
Thanks for a wonderful video giving me wonderful ideas! i have not even started doing this but am very anxious to get started , I shall have to see where there is a good Craft Shop near where i live so that i can go from my rest Home to look and compare the different pens etc and start getting a collection together. i shall definitely show you one of my attempts when i can manage to experiment.
🎨❤️LOVE these cards! I will use these techniques! Thanks!
Excellent idea! I'm going to copy you! :0p
I just love watching you, those feathers came out beautiful, and the poppies to. Thank you so much for sharing your talent.
Thank you, Lindsay! Both lovely cards!❤️👍🏾
I really love that feather stamp. This is one of my favorite stamping techniques as it allows you to look like an artist. Ok, I really love the poppy stamps too. gorgeous!!
I think I learned more in the last half hour than I ever learned in any art class I've ever taken. THANK YOU! I will be honest; I have those exact markers and I previously dismissed them as no good - because I did not know how to use them. I am going to dig them out and try out the blending techniques you've just shown. I know you kept thinking your video was getting to be too long, but if you fill it with helpful techniques and show us how to use the things we have I don't think you have to worry about that!
Beautiful beautiful beautiful cards! Thanks for sharing all these tips.
The poppies are so very pretty! I learned a lot about the differences of felt tip versus brush tip markers from this wonderful video! You really put a lot of effort in it! Please never apologize for a longer video, because we can learn so much from your wealth of knowledge! Thank you so very much.
Thanks!
Ok.....The example of the feather stamp on that card you made is seriously one of the most beautiful cards I have ever seen! I'm so in love with it! Can I buy it from you??
Sure, $6, email me at artstudiosofbangor@yahoo.com if you still want it:)
I would love to buy a few stamps, esp. the poppy, feather and any flowers that look like peonies or just bigger flowers in general. I would like to contact you personally because I am new and am trying to get my stash somewhat together. I am a retired disabled registered nurse bedridden who has a lot of anxiety issues and I find that painting is a great place to relieve my pain and anxiety. I have browsed lots of tutorials but like yours best. Is there a way I can follow you and although I am not really good with working the iPad my daughter will help me order. Patty and I live in Rochester New York. Pattylphillips@gmail.com
@@thefrugalcrafter Hey Lindsay , first thanks for another awesome video I can’t tell you how much I have learned from you in SO many mediums now! I just HAVE TO KNOW if the brush tips on these markers actually hold up or if they tend to fray rather quickly. I saw a review and they showed images of the brushes looking really bad only after doing that review video and I cancelled my order immediately in a money waste alert panic!! Please tell me if they have lasted for you or not and in advance thank you so much ((I’m going all in for the 120 set with case to use for cards and practice and planning out artworks for my alcohol markers and DEFINITELY lettering and stuff maybe water coloring too))
@@pantalonious3984 I haven't had any fraying in any of my Ohuhu brush markers, watwrbased or alcohol. The alcohol brush tips are reversible so 8f they start to fray you can flip the tip around for a fresh one. I haven't had to do that yet on any of mine tho.
@@thefrugalcrafter thank you so much that makes me feel much better. I know you actually put some use to your supplies too!! Again thank you, and additional thanks for always replying to my questions or comments. Means the world!!
Oh, I love both cards you did & all your tips as always! Thanks!!
An oldie but goodie!!! I enjoy seeing you water color always! You shared lots of great tips and your images are beautifully colored! Thank you, Lindsay!
Love your cards! Thanks for showing us how to the flowers. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful week!
Wonderful tutorial! And the cards are great, the feather one especially!
thanks!
Phenomenal! I've learned so much from this video...thank you!!!
Don't know why I'd never thought to put shadows under feathers, this makes them come alive. Beautiful work!
Lindsay, I LOVE the feather card so much! I would totally hang this on the wall.
Loved this video. I have water based markers sitting here collecting dust. So happy to know what to do with them! Love the feathers too!
This was exactly my thoughts as well!
Great video! I ordered the feather stamp and markers and can't wait to try them out. Thanks!
Thank you for this technique video! Learned some new things and really love the results. I will definitely have to give water based markers a try. Thanks as always for the inspiration!!
This was super helpful. I have loads of water coloured markers and I have literally never used them. I just didn’t know where to start. Thank you. X
Glad it was helpful!
Love, love, love this Lindsay! Thank you for showing these techniques. I just ordered the feather stamp. Can't wait to try this with the other stamps I have. :)
The feathers are beautiful! One of my favorite of yours, the cactus from peg stamps are a fav also.
Your feather artwork is absolutely beautiful! Lovely.
Great techniques!!! Thank you Lindsay...love the cards!
I alternate between colour pencils and watercolor brush pens. I tend to use watercolour markers like bright crayons. This video is by far the most useful one. Thanks!
Thanks for sharing!
Hi Lindsay, really love the feather stamp and effect created. Really realistic. Very beautiful xxx
I just bought some water based markers for a first time project, and I found your video. Best teaching video out there to teach just how to do this! Thanks 🙏
Yes, I just got some and this was the first video I pulled up. Really great tips, whether you are using them for fine art, scrapbooking, card making or anything.
This was great! As a longtime user of watercolour markers, I LOVED what you did with the stamp - I never really thought of that 😀 I’m going to definitely try that, especially with Christmas cards coming up... 😉
Wow, those feathers look amazing! I have set of watercolor markers I do not like very much. You've shown me what to do with them - what they are good for. Thank you.
You are so welcome!
Thank you. Love your teaching. the cards are beautiful I especially like the feathers.
Love love love the feathers! What a great idea .. I have watercolour markers and stamps so guess what I’m doing today! You are such a great inspiration and artist! Thank you
Great techniques for wc markers. I have a few but rarely use them but now I'll give them a good test. The cards are very beautiful, in particular the fethers. Love it! Thanks, Lindsay for this tutorial 😊
Brilliant now I feel more confident to try my pens..Thank You 😀
Great video! Answered all the questions I had about these techniques!
❤️🎨LOVE these cards and techniques!! Thanks!!
Love the feather stamp and card. Haven't done the technique with the markers in a long time !! Nice tutorial Lindsay !!
Your artwork is just beautiful. ..those poppies, are especially alive with color!☺
love you. love the stamps. love the art tips. thanks!
You make it look so easy. Beautiful cards!
Love this video and you can take as long as you want to show your techniques. Picked up a lot of tips today. Thank you.
Wow ~ Thank you Lindsay for the Class! I needed this for confidence.
That was great Lindsay. Loved those flowers.
this is so badass i never thought of the stamping! didn’t even know watercolor resistant ink existed! glad i watched your video it deff is going to help me w my water color markers
Wonderful tutorial! Your choice of stamps are fantastic. The feathers are magnificent! This was fun!!
So lovely, thanks for sharing your time and talent with us!
I love watching you create art; you're so talented!
Such a beautiful card the flowers look so real
That features example is just beautiful !
You always blow me away with your coloring!. Great review and tutorial
Thank you so much!
Love that feather stamp. Great way to review markers, thanks :)
hey, thanks Diana:)
A great review showing exactly how markers work. The cards are absolutely beautiful! TFS
When I get my water color markers I will try this. Great job.
Thank you so much for sharing these ideas. I bought the pens but I certainly need technique ideas how to use them to the best advantage.
Excellent tutorial....I've been teaching myself...wish I had seen this first!! I was headed in the right direction!
Incredibly useful vid! Thanks so much for the upload! X
Those are great techniques. And I love your cards.
Excellent video Lindsay, as always, I have watched so many of your videos over the years but I don't think I've ever thanked you enough. I have learned so much from you, from how to make a geli plate to making jewelry, die cutting and your terrific watercoloring skills. I'm not great at watercolorng but have gotten better thanks to you...I never had water color brushes or pens but recently bought some inexpensive Lizart watercolor brushes that come with a plain water brush and paper, they aren't too bad for about 20.00 on Amazon, because I can actually make something decent with them, lol. I also bought some Spectrum Aqua markers after seeing your video and I love them. I like wetting my image, scribbling the marker on my glass mat or tile then going in with the color. I guess because it gives a more real watercolor feel. I let it dry then go back and add more color if it's not bright enough. I do like the brightness though of using the markers to blend like you prefer, I'm still practicing that technique because I can't get the blend I want with that process yet. I think my paper is decent. But it's fun, and I love it. Thanks again, I so enjoy your videos. BTW, I love these stamps and have already added them to my cart for later. Take care and God Bless. Two Lucky people will be getting those gorgeous cards, great job!
thank you:)
These are just lovely, Lindsay!! Thank you so much for sharing with our images! They're just beautiful!
Thank you so much for watching! I love your stamps, especially the jumbo cling sets!
I’m new to watercolor pens..Thanks for your tutorial, very clear & useful! 👍

Great video. Thanks so much!!
Great video Lindsay! 😁 I love how the feathers came out. I really like how you put that whole card together. I've been playing with my tombows lately & I definitely see how the paper makes a big difference.
it really does!
Amazing tutorial! I learn somthing new everyday watching your videos. You are such an inspiration! Thank you for sharing🌺
Wow! Haven’t tried mine yet, but you make it look so fun! 🥰
Gooooood lord I'm fascinated with the feathers from the stamp technique! I swear your channel is my go to for learning techniques! 😁
Thanks!
Thanks for the demo.
You are just so amazingly talented
Lindsay, thank you so much for the great video. I followed the video several times minute by minute and made both beautiful cards! I am a 7 month newbie to all of these crafts but your detailed instructions and tips made this happen...so cool. The flower card is going to mom for Mother's Day; she will be so surprised. Thank you for my new found confidence and eagerness to keep playing. I have my Ohuhu markers, watercolor paper, stamps, and your videos; can't wait for what's next!
+Rhonda Barker that's so nice to hear:)
I bought the ohuhu markers and didn’t like them for what I thought I wanted to do with them. Thanks so much for showing me another way to use them.
Hi. I got my markers at Amazon. Love love love them. Caps are harder to remove but even better air tight... Love them
Les pavots sont magnifiques 😍 et les plumes aussi 😍 merci pour le partage 🖒👏 et les techniques 😉
I really like these techniques Lindsay, the result is Fabulous and that's make me feel more confident to use watercolor Markers. Thank You so much for the great tutorial, i kind of like these Ohuhu dual tips markers and your cards are both Gorgeous! I've learn so many things on this video and i really appreciated you've made that one on real time so much easier to learn and follow!
yay! thank you!
Just discovered your channel via this video .. I love it !!! Thank you for teaching us !!!
I always learn something from your video's. Thanks so much :)
So excited to create my own greeting cards...needed a new hobby. Loved this video and printed your supply list. Off i go to order a bunch of stuff. I tried colored pencil classes and didn't like the results. This is so much nicer in all respects. Thx
This was very helpful. Thanks.
Love your work you are very gifted ❤️
Thank you so much!
This was lovely!! Thank You!
thanks!
I have 2 sets of Tombow-skin and grayscale. WIN on these for adding a LOT of colors for less. They will be mine. I dont use them a lot, but I want a rounder collection. I likely will use them more! LOVE that poppy stamp set! I keep looking, but never buy...might HAVE to! xo The card turned out lovely. I enjoy most all of your work!
Wow! How beautiful! Those feathers are gorgeous and look like real feathers laying on paper!
I purchased the Ohuhu Markers but I think they are Alcohol ones...they have chisel and bullet tip
So so my taste..will be sure to make both
Thank you for sharing
