In today’s video I’ll demo some very simple techniques using Zig’s Clean Color Real Brush Markers.<\/p>\n

As is suggested by the name, these markers have an actual brush with real bristles, making them quite unlike most others that have a felt tipped end shaped like a brush.\u00a0 The advantage here is the ability to press reasonably hard on the end which causes the bristles to splay.\u00a0 That might sound like brush abuse, but what it really does is allow you to create lines and shapes that vary in thickness.<\/p>\n

The pressure applied to the bristles, and the subsequent splaying, is what makes those thicker areas.\u00a0 Releasing the pressure means the stroke reduces in width, growing thinner as you reduce how hard you’re pushing on the end.\u00a0 With a little practice you’ll get up to speed and will be creating thick and thin likes very easily.\u00a0 Once you’re to that point it’s only a short hop down the path of creativity till you’re creating borders and other elements.<\/p>\n

New today, just in time for its debut in the video, is our 4″ Itty Bitty Accordion Book.\u00a0 It joins the 2″ and 3″ sizes, rounding things out with several options for you to create with.\u00a0 What makes the “Itty Bitty” versions of our Accordion Books different is that they’re sent to you as a strip, leaving it to you to decide what size\/shape to score and fold the pages.\u00a0 Make a square, or try a rectangle, keeping in mind that you can orient the pages in either portrait or landscape fashion.<\/p>\n

I took a couple of photos of my 4″ Itty Bitty Accordion Book (you see it several times in the video) \u00a0which you can scroll down to and see under the list of supplies.\u00a0 You’ll also see my Art Journal Adventure Week 23 page.\u00a0 It featured the markers and I chose to color in a gradation.\u00a0 These markers are high quality, fun to use and easy to get the hang of!<\/p>\n

If you decide to take the plunge and invest in some of the markers you’ll be rewarded with free Victorian Scrap Pictures.\u00a0 Each $10 you spend on products (excluding Gift Certificates) entitles you to a free sheet. \u00a0Spend $50 and we’ll give you 5 free sheets AND discount the cost to ship your order!<\/p>\n
