Hiya, creative friends! Today I have a fun free printable for you using my new favorite alcohol markers! I picked up some Spectrum Noir markers for my art journal last month. I am very much a beginner, so it helped to practice blending with them before jumping right into art projects. This color by number printable is a great way to practice getting use to how the markers blend and dry. They are such a great tool for art projects, I think you will love using them too!
Color By Number Printable Supplies:
- Smooth White Cardstock
- Spectrum Noir Markers
- Color by Number Free Printable
- Printable Color Chart
- Finished Example Printable
When you print out the color chart it will show you what specific marker colors you need. Feel free to use whatever colors you want and just update your chart once you print it out. My cacti arrangement is very colorful, but you can use traditional colors as well.
After determining your color pallet, it’s time to start coloring! Carefully outline each shape with the fine point end of your marker, and then use the broad tip to color in.
The Spectrum Noir markers are semi-transparent, so layering is really fun. You can keep your shapes a solid color, and add some subtle shading and blending if you want to.
Just keep coloring until finished! Don’t you just love how therapeutic color is? Feel free to add more detail to your cacti, or just keep it sweet and simple!
This color by number printable would be a fun project to do with your family or friends. It’s really fun to hang or frame when you are done! Spectrum Noir markers are a great way to dive into art projects and learn about essential techniques, like shading and blending.
Happy coloring!
XOXOXO
