Instructional: Marker Blending Tutorial

Here's a simple instructional video on blending with markers. I've also posted some examples of projects created with markers below.


Important Vocab:
Blending: Basically, the overlapping of selected colors to either create a transition of color or to create a new color (a secondary color). Tip: Blend neighbors on the color wheel; not opposites.
Primary colors: Red, yellow, and blue. You cannot "make" these colors. You use these colors to "make" secondary colors.
Secondary colors: Orange (yellow and red), green (yellow and blue), and purple (blue and red); each is made by combining two primary colors.
Complementary colors: Colors that sit opposite on the color wheel: red and green, blue and orange, purple and yellow. Mix these colors and get brown. Place these colors next to each other and they make each other POP. (They "complement" each other...!)
