In this unique and innovative class, we will explore techniques that allow you to blend two blocks of color without physically mixing the colors together. These techniques are particularly useful for illustration mediums that are challenging to blend, such as acrylic paint markers (for example, POSCA markers). However, they can be applied to any opaque medium including acrylic paints, acrylic gouache, pen and ink, paper cutting or even digital drawing tools like Procreate or Adobe Fresco.
Irrespective of your go-to medium, picture this: you have a beautiful flat illustration style that is consistent and unique to your artistic voice. But now, imagine being able to introduce gradient effects without compromising the integrity of your style. With the techniques you’ll learn in this class, you can achieve exactly that! The ability to create the illusion of blended colors opens up a world of possibilities, giving your artwork depth, dimension, and a captivating visual appeal.
