T Handling and Application Hold the marker lightly – the key to marker rendering is quick, deft strokes. Where you hold the barrel will make a difference. Holding it nearer the middle will give you a fluid sweeping effect. For greater control, hold nearer the nib. Apply color evenly without lifting your hand from the page. This keeps up the momentum in your work and avoids ink collecting in unsightly patches. When filling larger areas, it helps to apply the ink in a circular (gentle) scrubbing motion. This prevents any streaking and provides a perfectly smooth, flat finish. Color Depth Marker color get darker the more layers you apply. Always work from light to dark (because you can’t lighten darker shades). Add in dark shadows and accent colors last. Depth of tone can be effectively created by overlaying a closely related darker colour over the original. This works particularly well when rendering skin tones. Mixing Color When two Tria colors overlap, they will combine to produce a third color. This depends not only on the two colors used, but on the order in which they are applied – the second color will tend to dominate. If two pale colors are overlaid, the resulting mix will show through well. If one color is much stronger, it will virtually block out the paler color. To mix colors together before application, use a smooth, ink resistant material. A piece of plastic or acetate makes a good makeshift palette. You can use the colorless Tria Blender to mix and pick up the ink from your ‘palette’. Much the same as using an artist’s brush. An advantage of markers is that the blended color can still be reactivated on the palette after long periods of time – just by using the alcohol filled Blender on the dried color pigment. The Tria Blender may also be used for mixing colored pencils. This can produce subtle variations in hue – for example, add blue pencil to a yellow marker and you’ll get a greenish color.

T Blending Color When one color is put down next to or over another dried color, normally the edge between will remain defined and sharp. If the second color is overlaid quickly, while the first is still wet, then they will blend into each other. To create a smooth graduation between two colours use a Tria Blender Marker, which will merge wet or dry colours. Blends vary on different papers, so try a small sample first. To achieve a lighter, more translucent effect when using marker inks, touch the broad nib of a colored Tria against the broad nib of the blender. Then use the blender to apply the transferred ink to your art surface – this gives a very subtle application of color. Also, try drawing graphite grey pencil next to marker, then using the blender to merge together. As always, experimentation is the way to discover new effects. Saturating Color Tria Marker inks are able to provide very richly saturated colors – the level of saturation depends to a large extent on the kind of paper used. For example, cartridge papers with higher ink absorption will generally provide more intense color renditions. On marker paper, you can use under coloring on the reverse. This is very effective, apply color to both sides of the paper, then reapply the front layer again. Once dried, the result will be a much more vibrant, vivid color.
