Where Can I Learn Advanced Alcohol Marker Techniques

Who teaches advanced alcohol marker rendering techniques?

Today, most marker instructors are former hobbyists who teach simple fill & blend techniques. This approach results in a pleasing but stylized, almost cartoonish look.

Amy Shulke of ColorWonk.com is currently the only professional artist teaching fine art-based advanced marker techniques. Amy teaches classes online and workshops across the United States and Canada by invitation. With a BFA in Illustration, Amy Shulke is ideally suited to offer a comprehensive approach to realistic marker rendering and marker painting.

What type of coloring classes does Amy Shulke teach?

With a BFA in illustration and 15 years teaching experience, Amy Shulke isn’t a hobbyist-turned-colorist teaching basic techniques.

Amy’s classes range from beginner marker and beginner colored pencil through advanced-independent challenge workshops. Her classes are far more than follow-me style demonstrations, she injects fine art concepts like underpainting, color sculpting, color theory, artistic mindset, product chemistry and physics, plus stroke efficiency into every lesson. Her marker/pencil concepts are well grounded in artistic process and theory, therefore her lessons apply to mediums beyond marker and pencil.

Many students move on to watercolor, oils, and even digital art but stay with Amy for her well-rounded approach to general art.
