Colorist or Realist? The Myth of Contrast

PROJECT RESOURCES: https://www.vanillaarts.com/blog/reso... LEARN WITH AMY: https://colorwonk.com Have you fallen for the advice that contrast creates depth, dimension, and realism in your coloring projects? What is contrast anyway? Illustrator and art instructor, Amy Shulke shares an important coloring tip for alcohol markers and colored pencils but this advice also applies to painting and drawing in any medium.

Note this is not a coloring tutorial and not a marker blending lesson. We're exploring how to use fine art painting methods with markers and pencils.
