Watercolor Markers That Create AMAZING Skin Tones BESIDES Tombows!

Hi Mixed Media Society Club Member!! 

I hope you're loving our LONG weekend (if ya live in the U.S.)!

​Over the last few weeks we've done A LOT of work with our Tombows.

I don't know about you - but I've TOTALLY loved that!!

Today I thought I'd wrap up this little unit by showing you a few OTHER watercolor marker brands that I use and love when I'm NOT reaching for my Tombows - and what other products you might want to grab if you live in a part of the world where Tombows aren't readily available.

Some of the products featured in today's 15-minute, mini-lesson are products I use and love, and some I've never even tested before until today.

👉Come check out these fun products with me!!

​How is your Tombows "capstone" project going? I've seen quite a few of these floating around in the Facebook group and am loving it!!

This was NOT an easy project by any means!! I'm SO proud of your bravery for trying her, working through it and having the courage to share your work with the group. BRAVO!!

​Haven't Had Time for ANY Tombows Projects? 

Don't give it another thought! There is a TON of fun waiting for you in the Tombows section of the Skin Tones classroom whenever you're ready!!

​Mixed Media Society "Happy Hour"

I hope you were able to join the group for our monthly club "Happy Hour" (and NO - it's not about drinking- we just have a fun happy time art-ing or discussing artsy stuff for an hour)! 

In case you missed it in August - we went over Permanent vs. Water-Soluble art supplies, and specifically, what happens to BOTH between layers 3 and 5 of the Hamburger System. 

✨​​Catch the HAPPY HOUR Replay Here!

👉Mark your calender to join us for the next one on Friday, 9/22!


​Wanna Know What Else is Coming Up? 

We're changing mediums this month and moving into the wonderful world of watercolors! I can't wait!!! If you don't have the Prima Complexion set of watercolors - I suggest you think about grabbing that to prepare for next few lessons (starting on 9/10), because I will be using it exclusively for skin tones. 

I LOVE this little palette because you can get SO many different skin tones right outta the pan! And they look beautiful!! No mixing needed :) The lazy girl in me LOVES that!! Over the next few weeks, I'll be teaching my lessons using this palette, while guest teacher Lucy Brydon will be teaching you how to mix your own skin tones from scratch! So cool :)

What Fans Are Saying

Karen, you are absolutely fabulous! You make me feel like I can draw anything. I have recently retired and finally have the time to do some of the art that I have loved since I was in school. I am really at the beginning of my art journey and I hope to learn as much as I can. Thank you for all you do.

​-Jill Y.

I ordered your Fun Fab Faces book and loved it! I was having a little trouble getting the noses I wanted and now it's easy! Also, I love how you stressed how important having the three tones in your drawing is. Thanks a bunch!

-Donna L.

Thank you Karen! I never though I could do faces. You broke it down so it was understandable! And I love your book! I got it yesterday! Can't wait to start practicing! It's so much fun!!!!!

​-Debbie M.

Thank you for the encouragement to get back into my drawing and painting. After being away for 35 years.  THANK YOU.

- Teresa S.
