My Little Tulip

Hello and welcome! Marie here with another mini video.

I Know from personal experience how difficult it can be to know what markers to buy.
I did not understand Natural Blending Families and I ended up buying markers that did not blend well.
I eventually collected all the markers but I wanted to make it easier for those starting their collections.
That is why I have been sharing Copic Color Combos with you on a weekly basis.

Today I will share a Cobalt Gray-Blue Copic Color Combo

B97, B95, B93, B91

And for my MarkerPOP post,  I am doing a 

mini tutorial on the Gray-Blue Copic Color Combo
