I use alcohol ink markers for my colouring and shading - and (unfortunately) it is not just one grey marker. To achieve the graduated look I generally work in at least 3-4 values, and, depending on the piece they could be using my cool grey, warm grey, or neutral grey markers (I have a lot of grey markers!) You can see some shading step outs in the patterns section of the blog which might help a bit. Thanks! h
Just love it Helen, thanks for sharing it.....have always loved whirling, and now I know how!
