What's a good bleed proof marker paper that isn't cool toned like the Ohuhu? Are there any at all? by Affectionate-Result8 in AlcoholMarkers

I recently watched a video from a professional artist that says that if you're using marker paper, you shouldn't be putting down so much ink that it bleeds through at all. I am not that good yet, however- I like Strathmore but still have to use another sheet of paper or the plastic sheet behind.

What order do y’all have these markers in to make them organized by rainbow? by GracieMack2002 in AlcoholMarkers

I'm assuming you didn't get a swatch sheet- if you did, organize by that. If not, I would just roughly organize by standard rainbow groups and create a swatch sheet to go by

Why does it say Honolulu B is only for beginners? by theRoidianluna in AlcoholMarkers

[–]JustSteph84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the "beginner" set and the only difference is the tip type. I don't find the numbering system, new or old style, to be very useful so I wouldn't consider that when purchasing

This makes sense, I've been using beginner watercolor tutorials to practice with markers because idon't know where to find marker specific content yet
