Peach Rose
Underpaint Complex Flowers to Create Dimension
This class originally ran as a Livestream in May 2020. It was filmed live and unscripted.
This is a different style of presentation than the normal Marker Painting Workshops. Amy speaks live and off-the-cuff, so this is a more conversational and less formal feeling class. Includes an introduction video with the opening of the class and a student Q&A session at the close.
Then in a series of demonstration videos, students will practice coloring the Peach Rose image. Instruction includes all elements, the cast shadowing, underpainting base markering, and pencil details. Almost 4 hours of demonstration video.
Join Amy Shulke, a professional illustrator and marker enthusiast for a live coloring demonstration. Real coloring in real time.
Are you ready for realistic coloring?
Online video classes are not real, at least not real in the way you assume.
The projects are planned months in advance. The lessons are tested and simplified. The demonstration is rehearsed. The footage is shot multiple times and edited for clarity. The script is….well, it’s a script!
Everything about an online art class is designed to make the project look easy and amazing.
But that's not how real art works
Vanilla Livestream breaks the production barrier, giving you a real look into the real time artistic process.
Are you ready for a floral challenge?
In previous classes, Amy has showed you how to color flower petals using her Push & Pull method and we've talked about using logic to develop shade.
Peach Rose puts those skills to the test as we learn to read a photo reference-- finding the pushes, pulls, and idiosyncrasies of real life flowers.
Watch as Amy battles logic versus what she sees in the photo reference to develop realistic depth and dimension.
An excellent introduction to photorealism. The concepts used here can be practiced and perfected into extremely realistic coloring.
Peach Rose is an advance level demonstration
We welcome colorers of many levels at Vanilla Arts, but basic marker painting techniques are not covered in this class.
Advanced classes assume you’ve mastered basic techniques and are ready for independent work using artistic skills. Read more about Vanilla skill levels here.
