First time Colouring with Ohuhu Markers Small Victories

Unboxing Ohuhu art supplies and colouring for the first time with Ohuhu Alcohol markers. I'm colouring a page from Johanna Basford's adult colouring book Small Victories, but I have copied it onto Ohuhu marker paper to avoid bleed through onto the page behind.
I'm excited to learn how to layer alcohol markers, so I can use them as a base layer under coloured pencils.

HellinMarit, I am missing you tutorials… please do not stop. I love your Tito’s with the prismacolors. Thank you🇧🇪

[@MaritsColourfulAdventures]

Aww, thank you so much. It’s lovely to hear I’ve been missed. I’ve just had a bit of a break, as I’ve had so many other things on my plate, but I will be back ❤️❤️

[@crystalruzicka2494]

So so glad to hear you will be back. I have missed you as well. I am glad you are taking a well deserved break. :)

[@chelle_nz6134]

I have been missing you too Marit! Just came here to check all is well with you so glad to hear you are just busy. Enjoy your break and if you have time for something small I am still hoping you will work on the individual flowers page in world of flowers. I find those a good size to colour and learn from but not too big to be overwhelming to start. ❤

[@shareeburbank2836]

Just another fan stopping in to say that I miss your tutorials/colour alongs. I learn more every time I watch you and look forward to seeing you again! ❤ 🎨

[@Fan.do.Richard]

Beautiful! Its delicious colouring with markers. They have great bright colours and are so soft!☺️

[@gloriadunning6742]

Thank you for this video🩷. You make beautiful videos and I love the music. It is very relaxing. I didn’t know they made pens. And I didn’t know there was a sheet protector for the page. I have an old set of Ohuhu markers and looked in the bag and found it!😀 All this time it was there. I find the colourless blender works best when the ink is still wet on the paper. I use it immediately before I colour another section of the picture. The cupcakes look beautiful. I have watched many KZbin colour along videos where colorists use markers and pencils. They use the markers as a base only with one colour. Watching you use several colours , blend them and shade and then do the same with pencils afterwards was incredibly amazing. Again thank you for this lovely video.

[@MaritsColourfulAdventures]

Thank you SO much for your tips!! It’s always strange getting to know a new medium, and this helps a lot 😃 And how awesome you found the protection sheet after all these years, glad I could be of help 😄😄Thank you so much for watching ❤️❤️

[@janettedelbarre913]

Wow, what a selection. You are soooo lucky. I have the black pens, and I love them. I still have my original promarkers, so can't justify buying these beauties.

[@MaritsColourfulAdventures]

Yes, I definitely feel incredibly blessed to have been gifted this beautiful art set. I was gaping when I opened the box. I’m really looking forward to trying the fine liners. Maybe I need to do some more in How To Draw Inky Wonderlands.

[@be_a_bright_sparkle3687]

I have my original Promarkers as well, they are decades old and still work. They took me a long time to collect because they were so expensive🥰

[@MaritsColourfulAdventures]

❤️ That’s awesome!

[@ck4429]

The colorless blender is used more to "push' color. I don't find it really blends like colored pencil blenders. I find using a lighter colored marker helps blend the darker colors. In my personal opinion I do better using alcohol markers when I remember the colors push each other, rather than blend (like watercolor or pencils). I hope that makes sense. With your talent Marit, I'm sure you will be pro level in no time! I actually prefer using the markers to lay down a base color, then use colored pencils to add details. The markers are so fast and easy and it saves stress on my hands.

[@MaritsColourfulAdventures]

Aww! Thank you so much, and I really appreciate your tips. I’m so looking forward to learning more about these markers, and I’m getting so many wonderful suggestions in the comments ❤️ Thank you so much for watching 🥰

[@friedakiezebrink277]

When you go over the lines you can push the color back behind the lines .

[@MaritsColourfulAdventures]

Oh what!! That’s amazing 😃 I’m learning so much in these comments. Thank you so much for the tip ❤️

[@shdwdncng]

I have them and they're my favorites over some of the other professional ones. You're on the right track with them. Keep going!

[@MaritsColourfulAdventures]

That’s good to hear. Thank you ❤️ I was really impressed with them, and will definitely use them again.

[@sees2012]

Loved the demo- very helpful. Wish you would examine/use/explain white pens. Don’t know about this brand. I have bought at least 5 different ones(Brisk- set of 5 latest). They all are difficult to use on small spaces as you did on raspberry this demo. You made it look easy with flow. I shake, roll, dip in water etc etc yet still not easy and often ruin the image with too much ink or a hole. Sorry for being so long winded! Thanks for you, your work, advice, soothing voice, and exhilarating music choices. Kay

[@MaritsColourfulAdventures]

My favourite ones to use are the Sakura Gelly Rolls. I find they stick to the paper well, and I can colour over them gently when they have dried. The only one that have dried up is the finest 05 one, but that was because I forgot to recap it, and didn’t realise for over a week.

[@redshoesgirl]

i have this set and haven't found a way to really use them yet so looking forward to learning! because i live in a very dry desert climate, i packaged my markers in a large size plastic baggie, fitting the whole thing back inside the black carry bag. trying to prevent any premature drying.

[@patricia-gx5zc]

Very cool ❤ looks like a lot of fun 🎉🎉

[@MaritsColourfulAdventures]

It was, and definitely such a different way to colour 😃 Thank you so much for watching ❤️

[@FairyArtMother]

I think that first plastic sheet you found on the marker pouch was actually for you to mix marker colors if you like to do that to create another color.

[@MaritsColourfulAdventures]

Thank you for the suggestion and for watching 😊 it actually had text written on it where it said it was for putting under your page to prevent bleed through.

[@FairyArtMother]

@@MaritsColourfulAdventures then I’m wrong and you’re correct. Sorry.

[@MaritsColourfulAdventures]

It was definitely a fair suggestion, and I have used acetate to mix Inktense pencils before, so I see your point. This sheet did have a very slight texture on it as well so not sure if that would hinder blending at all? 🤔 So much to learn with new mediums.

[@shdwdncng]

Check your bag for a swatch card. It would be tucked in like the page protector.

[@MaritsColourfulAdventures]

Omg! Thank you so much! I had not seen that at all. That will help a lot. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@sweetlovecards]

what does the back page of the book look like after you've colored with the ohuhu? because I already have these markers and I love them, and I want to color this book but I saw that each page, front/back, has designs on it. I wanted to see if the color would go from page to page, not allowing me to color it all.

[@MaritsColourfulAdventures]

Because they are alcohol markers they will go completely through the page. I copied this page onto the paper I got from Ohuhu, so that I could safely use the markers, and even with marker paper it goes through. So I would only use them on pages that are single sided, or just do what I did and get marker paper to copy onto.

[@sweetlovecards]

@@MaritsColourfulAdventures thank you so much! how did you copied it? I suppose you scanned it and stamp it on the ohuhu paper.

[@judithf9297]

This looks very nice, I wanted to ask you when you said “print” you meant that you made a copy from Johanna Bassford book page that you wanted to color on the page that you took out from Ohuhu ‘s marker pad? I think so,because you don’t want to color with alcohol markers directly in the book. Thank you😊

[@MaritsColourfulAdventures]

Yes, exactly. I knew they would bleed through the paper, so didn’t want to ruin the page on the back. The Ohuhu paper worked really well, and it was nice and smooth to colour on so I’ll definitely do that again.

[@judithf9297]

@@MaritsColourfulAdventures Thank you Marit, yes I thought so. I just wasn’t sure when you said “print” you actually meant”copy”. Judging by your beautiful English, I suppose you are in UK, so maybe there they use print instead of copy. Thank you 😊

[@MaritsColourfulAdventures]

Yes, I totally meant copy (I’m so used to printing pages from Etsy). I’m in Australia, but English is actually my second language, as I’m originally from Norway 😄
