Video Friday | Copic Coloring Marble with Kelly Latevola

Hello Crafters! I’m so excited to be back today and I have a new technique to try in your coloring!

When I started working with these super fun products from Stacey Caron’s Wine Country line I had no idea what to do. I’m not a wine drinker and I was a little worried I wouldn’t do them justice. However I’m all about stretching my wings so I thought about the things I love and some things I want to try.

I love coloring and I really want to work on different backgrounds for creating scenes. I decided woodgrain would be too much brown so I decided to try my hand at creating a marble counter top. I selected 3 grays and my colorless blender. I prefer cool grays but you can use whatever you have on hand.

I started with my lightest color and drew in a few sketchy veins. I was pretty apprehensive about putting the veins down. I think with more practice I would be more confident in putting down the lines and that would ultimately lead to a better result.

VIDEO TUTORIAL

You can watch the whole card from start to finish in the video below. Watch video tutorial below or on Youtube to learn how to make this project:

What do you think? Did I make it more difficult then it needed to be? Does it look marble-ish? I love the way the corks came out. All that beautiful stamped detail really shines through the simple color palette.
